PDLIM3 Regulates Migration and Invasion of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma via YAP-Mediated Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition.

ABSTRACT: Despite significant progress in characterizing the omics landscape of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the development of precision therapies remains limited. One key factor contributing to this challenge is the marked molecular heterogeneity of HNSCC. Further investigation of molecular profiles within HNSCC may facilitate the improvement in more effective precision treatments. Here, we focus on the dysregulation of PDZ and LIM domain protein 3 (PDLIM3) in HNSCC. The expression levels of PDLIM3 were analyzed using public datasets to assess its potential role in tumor progression. We found that PDLIM3 was downregulated in pan-cancer and HNSCC. The prognostic significance of PDLIM3 was evaluated through tissue microarray, and the downregulation of PDLIM3 was correlated with poo
