Beta-defensin index: A functional biomarker for oral cancer detection
 Cell Reports Mediine AccessPublished:March 04, 2024DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.xcrm.2024.101447SummaryThere is an unmet clinical need for a non-invasive and cost-effective test for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) that informs clinicians when a biopsy is warranted. Human beta-defensin 3 (hBD-3), an epithelial cell-derived anti-microbial peptide, is pro-tumorigenic and overexpressed in early-stage OSCC compared to hBD-2. We validate this expression dichotomy in carcinoma in situ and OSCC lesions using immunofluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. The proportion of hBD-3/hBD-2 levels in non-invasivel...
