摘要
背景/目的:Hippo信号通路包括哺乳动物不育20样激酶1/2、大肿瘤抑制因子1/2和yes相关蛋白1 (YAP1)。本研究探讨了磷酸化YAP (pYAP, Ser 127)蛋白在口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)中的表达。患者和方法:对口腔上皮发育不良(OED, n=7)、原位癌(CIS, n=14)和OSCC (n=109)患者的组织进行分析。结果:pYAP在OED、CIS和OSCC组织中表达较低。pYAP的表达与分化相关,低水平的YAP表达在高分化至中分化的OSCC中比在低分化的OSCC中更为常见。pYAP的高表达与上皮-间质转化(EMT)的特征相关,例如E-cadherin的缺失以及vimentin和层粘连蛋白5的表达增加(pp结论:pYAP表达升高可能是侵袭性OSCC合并EMT侵袭期的预后指标。
The Significance of Phosphorylated Yes-associated Protein (YAP) (Ser 127) Expression in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Background/aim: The Hippo signaling pathway comprises mammalian sterile 20-like kinase 1/2, large tumor suppressor 1/2, and Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1). This study investigated phosphorylated YAP (pYAP, Ser 127) protein expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Patients and methods: Tissues from patients with oral epithelial dysplasia (OED, n=7), carcinoma in situ (CIS, n=14), and OSCC (n=109) were analyzed.
Results: Cytoplasmic expression of pYAP was low in OED, CIS, and OSCC tissues. The expression of pYAP was correlated with differentiation, and the expression of low levels of YAP was significantly more common in well-differentiated to moderately differentiated OSCC than in poorly differentiated OSCC. High pYAP expression correlates with characteristics of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), e.g., loss of E-cadherin and increased expression of vimentin and laminin 5 (p<0.0001). Additionally, the protein arginine methyltransferase 1, a positive modulatory factor of YAP activity, was found to be correlated with elevated levels of pYAP expression (p<0.0007).
Conclusion: The presence of elevated pYAP expression may serve as a prognostic indicator of an aggressive OSCC with EMT during the invasive stage.
