Induced Apoptosis

Isoliquiritigenin is a flavonoid commonly found in liquorice and has been identified as a potent anti-tumor agent. The aim of this study was to investigate whether isoliquiritigenin regulates the proliferation and apoptosis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells by regulating forkhead box G1 expression via miR-21. MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to analyze cell proliferation and apoptosis, respectively. Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting were used to detect mRNA and protein expression levels, respectively. The relationship between miR-21 and forkhead box G1 was detected by dual luciferase assay. Isoliquiritigenin inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells, and decreased miR-21 levels and promoted forkhead box G1 expression. Forkhead box G1 was then identified as a target of miR-21 and ISL could promote forkhead box G1 expression by inhibiting miR-21. Further analysis suggested that upregulation of miR-21 improved proliferation and suppressed apoptosis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells by inhibiting forkhead box G1 expression. Finally, our results revealed that isoliquiritigenin inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells by regulating miR-21. Isoliquiritigenin might act as a novel therapeutic treatment for tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells through up-regulation of forkhead box G1 expression via inhibiting miR-21expression.

Preliminary Stage

The present study was aimed to evaluate the confluence percentage of three oral cell lines, namely primary gingival keratinocytes (PGK), primary gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC-4). All cells have been monitored at different passages for 21 days. Evaluation of confluence percentage reveals the fact that primary gingival keratinocytes and tongue squamous cell carcinoma at small passages requires a period of about two weeks to reach a confluence of approximately 80% while for the gingival fibroblasts a period of about three times smaller is satisfactory.

AbstractThis study aimed to assess the prognostic value of MRI-measured tumor thickness (MRI-TT) in patients with tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This single-center retrospective cohort study included 133 pathologically confirmed tongue SCC patients between January 2009 and October 2019. MRI measurements of tongue SCC were based on axial and coronal T2-weighted (T2WI) and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (CE-T1WI) images. Two radiologists independently measured MRI-TT. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated for inter-rater agreements. Spearman’s rank correlation between MRI-TT and pathologic depth of invasion (pDOI) was assessed. Cox proportional hazards analyses on recurrence-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were performed for MRI-TT and pDOI. Kaplan–Meier survival curves were plotted with log-rank tests. The intra- and inter-rater agreements of MRI-TT were excellent (ICC: 0.829–0.897, all P < 0.001). The correlation between MRI-TT and pDOI was good (Spearman’s correlation coefficients: 0.72–0.76, P < 0.001). MRI-TT were significantly greater than pDOI in all axial and coronal T2WI and CE-T1WI (P < 0.001). In multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis, MRI-TT measured on axial CE-T1WI yielded a significant prognostic value for OS (hazards ratio 2.77; P = 0.034). MRI-TT demonstrated excellent intra- and inter-rater agreements as well as high correlation with pDOI. MRI-TT may serve as a prognostic predictor in patients with tongue SCC.
