Abnormal DNA end-joining activity in human head and neck cancer.
In human cells, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are repaired primarily by the DNA end-joining (EJ) process and thus, abnormal DNA EJ activities lead to an accumulation of mutations and/or aneuploidy, resulting in genetic instability of cells. Since genetic instability is the hallmark of cancer cells, we studied the DNA EJ activities of normal, non-malignant immortalized and malignant human epit...
متن کاملTRIP13 promotes error-prone nonhomologous end joining and induces chemoresistance in head and neck cancer
Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) is a common, aggressive, treatment-resistant cancer with a high recurrence rate and mortality, but the mechanism of treatment resistance remains unclear. Here we describe a mechanism where the AAA-ATPase TRIP13 promotes treatment resistance. Overexpression of TRIP13 in non-malignant cells results in malignant transformation. High expression o...

background: epidemiologic and molecular evidences have established a strong link between high risk types of human papilloma virus and a subgroup of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (hnscc). we evaluated the frequency of hpv positivity in hnscc and its relationship to demographic and some risk factor variables in an open case- control study. methods: fourteen recently diagnosed patients wi...

متن کاملHuman Papillomavirus in Head and Neck Cancer
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is currently considered to be a major etiologic factor, in addition to tobacco and alcohol, for oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) development. HPV positive OPCs are epidemiologically distinct from HPV negative ones, and are characterized by younger age at onset, male predominance, and strong association with sexual behaviors. HPV16 is the most prevalent types in oral cavity ...
