Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | oral squamous cell carcinoma |
| ICD-0-3 | C06.9 |
| Methods | qPCR etc. |
| Sample | OSCC tissues |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | We found that most of the selected transcripts (4/6) were upregulated in tumors relative to matched adjacent nonmalignant tissue. One gene, MEG-3, was downregulated in cancer compared with its adjacent nonmalignant tissue. Expression of lncRNA (HOTAIR, NEAT-1 and UCA1) was significantly higher in the samples that subsequently metastasized compared with the non-metastatic samples. By contrast, MEG-3 was downregulated in the metastatic samples. These findings suggest that the detection of lncRNAs in saliva may be used as a noninvasive and rapid diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of oral cancer. |
