Objective: This study aimed to investigate the expression level of protein kinase D (PKD) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its relationship with differentiation of OSCC.
Methods: Sample was collected from 10 healthy control subjects and 40 OSCC confirmed by histopathological diagnosis, and the immunohistochemical staining was adopted to detect the expression of PKDs in OSCC tissues. The proportion of stained cell and staining intensity were evaluated to get a score, which used to analyze the difference among PKD1, PKD2 and PKD3 in various differentiation OSCC tissues. The correlations between the staining score of PKDs and differentiation of OSCC were further analyzed.
Results: PKD1 and PKD3 were high expression in OSCC tissues. There were statistical significance among the staining score of PKD1, PKD2 and PKD3 in various differentiation OSCC tissues ( <0.001). In addition, there was a significantly negative correlation between the staining score of PKD1 and PKD2 with the differentiation of OSCC ( =-0.574, -0.341, <0.001).
Conclusion: In OSCC tissues with different degree of differentiation, there might be some differences among PKDs which play a major role. The expression of PKD1 and PKD2 was correlated with the differentiation of OSCC, the poor differentiation of OSCC, the higher expression of PKD1 and PKD2.

Background: Docetaxel is the most common chemotherapy regimen for several neoplasms, including advanced OSCC (Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma). Unfortunately, chemoresistance leads to relapse and adverse disease outcomes.
Methods: We performed CRISPR-based kinome screening to identify potential players of Docetaxel resistance.

Backgrounds: Head and neck cancer is among the top ten cancers worldwide, with most lesions in the oral cavity. Oral squamous cell carcinoma accounts for more than 90% of all oral malignancies and is a significant public health concern. Circular RNA and micro RNA, as non-coding RNA, plays an important role in the development of tumor transmission.

Innate immune cells play an important role in the immune system and are mainly responsible for the rapid response to foreign pathogens, damaged tissues, or abnormal cells. However, their immunophenotype in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is altered due to the influence of various components within the tumour microenvironment, including tumour cells, cancer associated fibroblasts, and the extracellular matrix. This immunophenotypic shift results in the suppression of anti-tumour-related immune functions and active participation in further remodelling of the tumour microenvironment.

Introduction Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), which is the most common cancer type in head and neck cancers, remains a serious health problem because of its high mortality. Treatment of OSCC is mainly performed with a combination of surgery and anticancer agents. However, despite the recent development of anticancer agents, the clinical outcome of OSCC has yet to be improved.

Objective Patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) may choose best supportive care (BSC) as initial treatment over active treatment for several reasons. However, no previous reports have compared the clinical characteristics of OSCC patients opting for BSC as initial treatment with those receiving standard treatment. This study retrospectively analyzed these differences to identify the factors influencing this decision.
