PLAU promotes cell proliferation and migration of head and neck cancer via STAT3 signaling pathway
Exp Cell Res. 2024 Apr 23:114056. doi: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2024.114056. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIt was reported that within the head and neck cancer (HNC) cell line CAL21 the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell proliferation were promoted by Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator (PLAU) proteinase through TNFRSF12A. Additionally, in this paper HNC cell lines refer to Fadu and Tu686. A novel PLAU-STAT3 axis was found to be involved in HNC cell line proliferation and metastasis. PLAU expression in HNC samples was upregulated, besides, the elevated expression of PLAU was linked to the lower overall survival (OS) ...

Randomized self-controlled study comparing open-face vs. closed immobilization masks in fractionated cranial radiotherapy
Radiotherapy is an essential part in the management of primary and metastatic brain tumors. To ensure safe and reproducible delivery of radiotherapy, accurate patient positioning and immobilization is required. The standard-of-care immobilization for fractionated brain irradiation, as for head-and-neck cancer, is an individually made thermoplastic mask which is closed around the patient ’s face. Closed masks provide stability, accuracy and reproducibility of each treatment fraction [1,2,3]. The inter- and intrafraction accuracy described by setup and head motion uncertainties for intracranial radiotherapy are reportedly ...

The role of interventional radiology and molecular imaging for near infrared photoimmunotherapy
AbstractNear infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) is a recently approved cancer therapy for recurrent head and neck cancer. It involves the intravenous administration of an antibody-photoabsorber (IRDye700DX: IR700) conjugate (APC) to target cancer cells, followed 24  h later by exposure to near infrared light to activate cell-specific cytotoxicity. NIR-PIT selectively targets cancer cells for destruction and activates a strong anticancer host immunity. The fluorescent signal emitted by IR700 enables the visualization of the APC in vivo using fluorescence imagi ng. Similarly, the activation of IR700 during therapy can be...

Interleukin 33 supports squamous cell carcinoma growth via a dual effect on tumour proliferation, migration and invasion, and T cell activation
AbstractInterleukin (IL)-33 is an important cytokine in the tumour microenvironment; it is known to promote the growth and metastasis of solid cancers, such as gastric, colorectal, ovarian and breast cancer. Our group demonstrated that the IL-33/ST2 pathway enhances the development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Conversely, other researchers have reported that IL-33 inhibits tumour progression. In addition, the crosstalk between IL-33, cancer cells and immune cells in SCC remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of IL-33 on the biology of head and neck SCC lines and to evaluate the impact of ...
