RESUMO
BACKGROUND: To detect HOXD9 levels in cervical cancer species and to explore the relationship between HOXD9 level and prognosis in cervical cancer patients. We also verify the influence of HOXD9 on metastatic abilities in cervical cancer. METHODS: HOXD9 levels in cervical cancer species were detected. Its influence on clinical features and prognosis in cervical cancer patients was analyzed. Regulatory effects of HOXD9 on migratory and invasive capacities in C33-A and HeLa cells were evaluated by Transwell assay. Subsequently, the downstream gene of HOXD9 was predicted by bioinformatics analysis and confirmed by luciferase assay. The involvement of HMCN1 in regulating metastatic ability in cervical cancer cells was finally explored by rescue experiments. RESULTS: HOXD9 was upregulated in cervical cancer species and its level was positively correlated to rates of lymphatic metastasis and distant metastasis. High level of HOXD9 in cervical cancer patients predicted a poor prognosis. Overexpression of HOXD9 promoted migratory and invasive capacities in cervical cancer cells. HMCN1 was identified to be the downstream gene binding HOXD9. It was responsible for HOXD9-regulated metastasis in cervical cancer. CONCLUSIONS: HOXD9 is upregulated in cervical cancer species. Its level is closely linked to metastasis rate and poor prognosis in cervical cancer patients. Through positively regulating HMCN1 level, HOXD9 stimulates migratory and invasive capacities in cervical cancer cells.

PURPOSE: As a common head and neck tumor, laryngeal cancer has attracted heightened attention for its treatment and prognosis. Surgery and radiotherapy were mainly therapeutic approaches in laryngeal cancer, and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) was a precision treatment way in radiotherapy. However, the therapeutic effect of surgery plus IMRT in laryngeal cancer was rarely reported. This study aims to determine the effect of IMRT on the treatment of patients with laryngeal cancer. METHODS: A total of 125 patients with laryngeal cancer were collected and retrospectively analyzed based on their clinical data and follow-up results. These patients had a clear treatment plan for surgery and intensity-modulated radiotherapy. RESULTS: Smoking, lymph node metastasis, TNM staging and therapeutic approaches could affect the survival of patients with laryngeal cancer. It was shown that the laryngeal function retention rate in the simple IMRT group was significantly higher than the simple surgery group and surgery plus IMRT group. The 5-year survival rate of surgery plus IMRT, simple surgery and simple IMRT were 82.86%, 53.85% and 43.33%, respectively. The locoregional recurrences rate of surgery plus IMRT, simple surgery and simple IMRT were 14.29%, 34.62% and 43.33%. CONCLUSION: Surgery plus IMRT was a feasible and efficacious treatment technique for patients with laryngeal cancer, which effectively prolong the survival time of patients.

Laryngeal carcinoma is one of the common malignancies of head and neck. However, the pathogenesis of laryngeal cancer has been not completely clear. To identify the effects of hypoxia on the invasion, metastasis, and metabolism of laryngeal carcinoma, iTRAQ-labeling-with-LC-MS/MS analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed proteins of the SCC10A cells under hypoxia and normoxia, while metabolites were examined by metabolic profiling. 155 proteins and 180 metabolites were identified and the PCK2 protein was selected for validation by Western Blotting. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to analyze the expression of PCK2 in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections, including laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissues from various stages. Collectively, we report that down-regulation of PCK2 inhibits the invasion, migration, and proliferation of laryngeal cancer under hypoxia and down-regulation of PCK2 may be used as a new strategy for laryngeal cancer therapy.
