摘要: Approximately 500,000 new head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cases are detected every year around the world, its incidence ranks sixth among all cancer types globally. Among these cases, oral (OSCC) laryngeal (LSCC) HNSCC subtypes with high rates, especially in China. The present study examines association between apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) mRNA protein expression clinical parameters HNSCC. two most common (oral larynx) of were selected for subgroup analyses. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect APOL1 levels specimens. It demonstrated that 221 higher compared normal tissues. Consistent upregulation also found subgroups OSCC LSCC. Through mining ArrayExpress, Cancer Genome Atlas Gene Expression Omnibus databases, microarrays RNA sequencing data retrieved, which analyze levels. results showed both LSCC subtypes, as well HNSCC, non-cancerous epithelium. summary receiver operating characteristic analysis had potential a diagnostic biomarker Thus, may contribute tumorigenesis
