Article Abstract
To understand the molecular mechanism of RB1 phosphorylation in basal-parabasal layers of normal cervix and during cervical cancer (CACX) development, we analyzed the alterations (expression/methylation/deletion/mutation) of RB1/phosphorylated RB1 (p-RB1) (ser807/811 and ser567) and two RB1 phosphorylation inhibitors, P16 and RBSP3, in disease-free normal cervical epithelium (n = 9), adjacent normal cervical epithelium of tumors (n = 70), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN; n = 28), CACX (n = 102) samples and two CACX cell lines. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed high/medium expression of RB1/p-RB1 (ser807/811 and ser567) and low expression of P16 and RBSP3 in proliferating basal-parabasal layers of majority of normal cervical epitheliums, irrespective of HPV16 infection. Interestingly, 35-52% samples showed high/medium expression of P16 in basal-parabasal layers of normal and had significant association with deleterious non-synonimous SNPs of P16. Methylation of P16 and RBSP3 in basal-parabasal layers of normal cervix (32 and 62%, respectively) showed concordance with their respective expressions in basal-parabasal layers. The methylation frequency of P16 and RBSP3 in basal-parabasal layers of normal did not change significantly in CIN and CACX. The deletion frequency of P16 and RB1 increased significantly with CACX progression. While, deletion of RBSP3 was high in CIN and comparable during CACX progression. P16 showed scattered and infrequent mutation in CACX. The alteration of P16 and RBSP3 was synergistic and showed association with overexpression of p-RB1 in tumors and associated with poor prognosis of patients. Thus, our data suggest that overexpression of p-RB1 in basal-parabasal layers of normal cervical epithelium was due to methylation/low functional-linked non-synonimous SNPs of P16 and RBSP3. This pattern was maintained during cervical carcinogenesis by additional deletion/mutation.

A Longitudinal Study of E-Cadherin and Beta-Catenin in Progression of Oral Epithelial Dysplasia.
J Oral Pathol Med
May 2025
Faculty of Dentistry, The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Background: This study explored the expression patterns of epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers E-cadherin and beta-catenin in mild and moderate oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) to determine whether their expression predicts malignant progression in oral tissue.
Methods: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue specimens with mild or moderate dysplasia were retrieved from 87 patients. Immunohistochemistry was performed to compare E-cadherin and beta-catenin expression in tissue sections that progressed to severe dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, or squamous cell carcinoma (n = 29) with those that did not progress (n = 58).
Clinical implications of activation of the LIMD1-VHL-HIF1α pathway during head-&-neck squamous cell carcinoma development.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on understanding how hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF1α) is activated in head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and examines the roles of regulatory genes like VHL and LIMD1 along with the target gene VEGF in relation to HPV infection.
- Analysis of public mRNA datasets and independent samples revealed that HIF1α and VEGF were highly expressed in HPV-positive tumors, while VHL and LIMD1 showed low expression regardless of HPV status.
- Findings suggest that higher levels of HIF1α and VEGF, alongside lower levels of VHL and LIMD1, correlate with worse clinical outcomes in HNSCC, alongside changes in gene expression

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to improve the diagnosis and understanding of "potentially malignant" diseases affecting the oral mucosa, focusing on patients aged 35 to 80.
- It involved clinical and laboratory evaluations of 124 patients with various conditions, employing methods like histological analysis and the Ki-67 index for cell activity.
- Results showed high p53 mutation prevalence in erythroplakia, significant Ki-67 and p16INK4a expression in leukoplakia, and suggested that combined histological and immunohistochemical techniques are essential for early detection of neoplastic changes.
Down-regulation of FA-BRCA Pathway in Cervical Carcinoma Gradually Reversed During the Development of Chemo-tolerance: Clinical Implications.

Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death among females, worldwide. The contributory role of different cellular pathways in the process of carcinogenesis is still poorly understood. Our study was focused here to understand the functional evaluation of key regulatory genes of FA-BRCA pathway in the development of CACX and their role in chemo-tolerance of the disease by analyzing the molecular profile of the genes both in normal and tumour tissue of our sample pool, also validated in in silico datasets.
