The oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) 5 year survival rate of 41% has marginally improved in the last few years, with less than a 1% improvement per from 2005 to 2017, higher rates when detected at early stages. Based on histopathological grading dysplasia, it is estimated that severe dysplasia malignant transformation 7%-50%. Despite these numbers, does not reliably predict its clinical behavior. Thus, more accurate markers predicting progression cancer would enable better targeting lesions for closer follow-up, especially stages disease. In this context, molecular biomarkers derived genetics, proteins, and metabolites play key roles oncology. These signatures can help likelihood OSCC development and/or have potential detect disease an stage and, support treatment decision-making responsiveness. Also, identifying reliable detection be obtained non-invasively enhance management OSCC. This review will discuss emerged different biological areas, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, immunomics, microbiomics.

The Wnt signaling pathway plays a crucial role in development and tissue homeostasis, regulating key cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis. However, its abnormal activation is strongly associated with tumorigenesis, metastasis, resistance to therapy, making it vital target for cancer treatment. This review provides comprehensive insight into the of cancer, examining normal physiological functions, dysregulation malignancies, therapeutic potential. We emphasize importance predicting sensitivity identify biomarkers across various types. Additionally, we address challenges future prospects Wnt-targeted therapies, including biomarker discovery, advancements emerging technologies, their application clinical practice.

Abstract Background 5-Fluorouracil (5FU) is a primary chemotherapeutic agent used to treat oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, the development of drug resistance has significantly limited its clinical application. Therefore, there an urgent need determine mechanisms underlying and identify effective targets. In recent years, Wingless Int-1 (WNT) signaling pathway been increasingly studied in cancer resistance; however, role WNT3, ligand canonical WNT pathway, OSCC 5FU-resistance not clear. This study delved into this potential connection. Methods 5FU-resistant lines were established by gradually elevating concentration culture medium. Differential gene expressions between parental resistant cells underwent RNA sequencing analysis, which was then substantiated via Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) western blot tests. The influence on chemoresistance ascertained through WNT3 knockdown or overexpression. inhibitor methyl 3-benzoate (MSAB) probed for capacity boost 5FU efficacy. Results study, WNT/β-catenin notably activated lines, confirmed transcriptome RT-qPCR, verification. Additionally, key responsible activation, identified. By knocking down overexpressing cells, we found that promoted OSCC. addition, MSAB reversed cells. Conclusions These data underscored activation identified promoting effect upregulation carcinoma. may provide new therapeutic strategy reversing

Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), the main form of oral cancer, is a major health problem globally that affects 400,000 people every year. It has been postulated periodontitis, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by alveolar bone resorption, an independent risk factor for OSCC. However, mechanisms underlying this link are not fully elucidated. demonstrated Wnt/β-catenin pathway key to transformation potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) towards OSCC (i.e., leukoplakia), particularly in OPMD histologically diagnosed as dysplasia. Using GEO database carcinogenesis (GSE85195), transcriptional modification 19 Wnt ligands and 4 regulatory proteins β-catenin, including E-cadherin, APC, AXIN GSK3B, during leukoplakia, early late stages OSCC, was determined. The expression these targets also assessed periodontitis (GEO GSE223924). Together, it found Wnt3, Wnt3a, Wnt5b Wnt7b concomitantly upregulated carcinogenesis.
