ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
U2AF homology motif kinase 1 (UHMK1) is a newly discovered molecule that may have multiple functions. Recent studies have revealed that UHMK1 had aberrant expression in many tumors and was associated with tumor progression. However, UHMK1 was rarely reported in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). STUDYDESIGN:
In this study, Western blot, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of UHMK1 in OSCC and peritumoral non-neoplastic tissues. Then, its relationship with clinicopathologic parameters was analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model were used to analyze the effects of UHMK1 expression on the prognosis and survival of OSCC patients.RESULTS:
Our results showed that UHMK1 had higher expression in OSCC tissues compared with in peritumoral non-neoplastic tissues, and its high expression was associated with high TNM stage and lymph node metastasis. High UHMK1 expression was related to short overall and disease-free survival times. Moreover, UHMK1 expression was identified as an independent prognostic factor that influences overall and disease-free survival of OSCC patients.CONCLUSIONS:
High expression of UHMK1 is associated with the poor prognosis of patients, and it can be used as a potential prognostic molecule for OSCC.
