Project description:We hypothesized that DKK3 may exert oncogenic function supecifically in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). DKK3 overexpression in HNSCC cell resulted in elevated cellular proliferation, migration, invasion and in vivo tumor growth. This elevated malignant properties was not driven by Wnt/beta-catenin pathway.

Project description:Genome-wide SNP profilling for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) during FOXM1B-induced malignant transformation in a human premalignant oral keratinocyte line SVpgC2a. Keywords: oral cancer, keratinocytes, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, FOXM1, genomic instability, SNP array, loss of heterozygosity, malignant transformation
Project description:Sage performed on microdissection of Head and Neck tumor, and Head and Neck normal tissue comparative analysis of gene expression profiles of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and Head and Neck normal tissue
Project description:This data was used to detect good biomarkers for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and was integrated with transcriptome and miRNome data aiming to elucidate role of epigenetics on gene expression in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Project description:Microarrays were used to examine gene expression differences between human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines (FaDu, UTSCC8, UTSCC42a) grown in culture in comparison to a normal oral epithelial cell line. Gene expression data was integrated with global protein expression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines and conditioned media to identify secreted protein markers up-regulated at the mRNA level in cancer cells versus the normal cell line. Total RNA obtained from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines and a normal oral epithelial cell line
Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) are the sixth most common malignant cancer worldwide. To understand the pathogenesis of HNSCC, we investigated the effects of miR-1825 overexpression on tumor formation capacity of head and neck cancer cells in vivo using NUDE mice. We searched for potential targets of miR-1828 using microarray analysis and luciferase assay. We found that miR-1825 expression is upregulated in head and neck cells and clinical tumor samples in comparison to corresponding controls, where it potentially acts as an oncogene.
Project description:MiRNA expression profiles were successfully examined through expression profiling of a total of 656 miRNAs between 2 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tissues (C) and their paired adjacent normal mucousal tissues (AN). In the study presented here, 2 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tissues (C) and their paired adjacent normal mucousal tissues (AN) were examined by miRNA array
Project description:MicroRNA expression in two pair of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines were analyzed. 4A/4B and 37A/37B cells were from two different head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients. A cells were from patients' primary focus. B cells were from patients' lymph node metastasis. B cells have higher migratory and invasive abilities and CCR7 expression levels than A cell.
