Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) presents a significant health challenge owing to its complex origin and limited treatment success. The precise function of Fanconi anemia complementation group E (FANCE), a key gene involved in DNA repair in OSCC, remains unclear. The present study performed bioinformatics analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset and cellular experiments to demonstrate that FANCE is significantly upregulated in OSCC. Enhanced FANCE expression was associated with poor survival outcome in patients with OSCC. Knockdown of FANCE inhibited OSCC cell proliferation and migration. Moreover, a negative correlation was observed between FANCE expression and immune cell markers. Collectively, these findings suggest that FANCE is a potential oncogene in OSCC and a prognostic biomarker that may play a role in modulating the OSCC microenvironment.
期刊介绍：
Oncology Letters is a monthly, peer-reviewed journal, available in print and online, that focuses on all aspects of clinical oncology, as well as in vitro and in vivo experimental model systems relevant to the mechanisms of disease.
The principal aim of Oncology Letters is to provide the prompt publication of original studies of high quality that pertain to clinical oncology, chemotherapy, oncogenes, carcinogenesis, metastasis, epidemiology and viral oncology in the form of original research, reviews and case reports.
