Background The X-linked tumor suppressor gene LDOC1 is reported to be involved in oral cancer. The detection of biomarkers in salivary RNA is a non-invasive strategy for diagnosing many diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential of salivary LDOC1 as a biomarker of oral cancer. Methods We determined the expression levels of LDOC1 in the saliva of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) subjects, and investigated its correlation with various clinicopathological characteristics. The expression levels of salivary LDOC1 were detected in 53 OSCC subjects and 43 healthy controls using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis. We used Fisher’s exact test to analyze the correlations between expression levels and clinicopathological characteristics. Results Salivary LDOC1 was significantly upregulated in females with OSCC (p = 0.0072), and significantly downregulated in males with OSCC (p = 0.0206). Eighty-nine percent of male OSCC subjects who smoked expressed low levels of LDOC1. OSCC cell lines derived from male OSCC subjects expressed low levels of LDOC1. Conclusions A high level of salivary LDOC1 expression is a biomarker of OSCC in females. A high percentage of male OSCC subjects who smoke express low levels of salivary LDOC1. A low level of salivary LDOC1 expression is a biomarker of OSCC in males.

Background To better understand the clinicopathological features and prognostic profiles of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the breast. Methods Information on breast cancer was obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004–2016). Comparative analyses were carried out to investigate the heterogeneity in the clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes between SCC and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), while propensity score matching was conducted to analyze the variations among baseline characteristics. Prognostic factors for SCC of the breast were successively identified using Cox regression analysis. Results A total of 382 SCC patients and 561477 IDC patients were identified in this study. Comparatively, the SCC cohort exhibited a higher proportion of male individuals, poor differentiation, an advanced TNM stage, an increasing percentage of triple-negative (TN) subtype, an increasing rate of organ involvement, and less access to therapeutics. The aggressive profile was consistent in the TN subgroup, with a significantly higher proportion in SCC than in IDC (25.7% vs 6.8%). Prognosis of SCC was profoundly poorer than that of IDC (mOS, 78.6 months and 121.6 months, P < .0001; mBCSS 91.9 months vs 135.6 months, P < .0001), of which the inferior tendency remained stable among disease stage and therapeutic options, while no difference was detected in the 2 subgroups with the TN subtype. The 2-year survival rate was 66.9% and the 5-year survival rate was 51.4%, with the risk factors being older age, bilateral disease, advanced TNM stage, bone and visceral involvement, surgical intervention, radiation treatment, and chemotherapy. Conclusions This study systematically analyzed the heterogeneous characteristics of SCC of the breast in comparison with IDC. Squamous cell breast cancer presented with increasing aggressive behavior and inferior prognosis. Prospective studies should focus on this subgroup and introduce individualized therapeutic protocols in clinical practice.

Abstract Background Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is considered to be a common malignancy of the head and neck with poor prognosis for its late diagnosis, metastasis and recurrence. Growing evidence demonstrates that the dysregulation of miR-29c-3p (microRNA-29c-3p) plays an important role in various tumor processes. Our study investigates the expression of miR-29c-3p in LSCC and analyzes the correlation of its dysregulation with clinicopathologic parameters and prognosis. Methods The expression of hsa-miR-29c-3p in LSCC tissues and the adjacent normal laryngeal tissues was detected in 96 LSCC formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The SPSS statistical software package (17.0) was used to analyze the associations between miR-29c-3p expressions and various clinicopathological characteristics. The overall survival (OS) was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test, and we analyzed the independent factor of prognosis by Cox proportional hazard analysis. Results A downregulation of miR-29c-3p expression in LSCC was significantly correlated with smoking index, tumor size, tumor site, differentiation, T classification, TNM stage, and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05), but there was no correlation with age and alcohol consumption (P > 0.05). In the multivariate survival analysis, low miR-29c-3p expression was associated with shorter overall survival (P < 0.05). Furthermore, miR-29c expression was an independent prognostic factor for laryngeal cancer patients. Conclusions MiR-29c-3p has different expression levels at different stages of tumor progression, suggesting that miR-29c-3p may be a promising biomarker for evaluating the progression of LSCC and the prognosis of patients with LSCC. MiR-29c-3p can also be a novel molecular target for anti-laryngeal cancer therapy.

e15265 Background: Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a novel type of small noncoding RNAs which have important biological functions in malignant diseases. However, little is known about the clinical value of piRNAs in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Hence, we demonstrated that two representative piRNAs, piR-36026 and piR-651, to dig out their clinical value in ESCC. Methods: Quantitative real-time PCR was employed to detect the levels of piR-36026 and piR-651 expression in ESCC tissues. Furthermore, the correlation between them and ESCC patients' clinicopathological characteristics were explored. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed for measuring significances of piR-36026 and piR-651 for ESCC diagnosis. Results: Both of piR-36026 and piR-651 were prominently increased in ESCC tissues compared with normal. Additionally, piR-36026 was related with ESCC patients' diameter (P = 0.013), TNM stage (P = 0.027), tumor differentiation (P = 0.008) and CEA (P = 0.013); and piR-651 was associated with diameter (P = 0.005), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.002), tumor differentiation (P = 0.008) and SCC (P = 0.002). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of piR-36026 was up to 0.8634 (95% confidence interval: 0.8171-0.9089, P < 0.05). Similarly, the AUC of piR-651 was 0.8525 (95% confidence interval: 0.7804-0.9247, P < 0.05). Conclusions: These results demonstrated that both piR-36026 and piR-651 may play a crucial role in ESCC oncogenesis; and they may be diagnostic biomarker for ESCC.
