Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is one of the leading cancers in terms of incidence and mortality. However, no reliable marker till date accurately predicts its progression when altered in healthy tissues. The study aims to identify alleles of microsatellites adjacent to important cell cycle regulatory, tumor suppressor genes altered in early head and neck lesions, viz. RBSP3, LIMD1 and CDC25A, which undergo frequent deletion and can be used for population screening and early detection. DNA for tumors and normal tissues was isolated from 143 patients in different stages of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The size of microsatellite present in normal tissues and their deletion in the corresponding tumor was identified, along with the correlation of expression in normal epithelium with respect to allele size. The results revealed a range of alleles (CA9 to CA32) for the different microsatellites of the genes in normal tissues. The larger alleles were significantly deleted with differential deletion of alleles observed in tumors, except for LIMD1, in which the smaller allele was significantly deleted. In normal tissues, some alleles represented as stable alleles with high prevalence, while in tumours, specific sizes showed greater propensity for deletion. However, similar expression of the proteins in normal epithelium adjacent to tumors was observed despite variations in allele size, possibly due to the location of the microsatellites. Thus, those alleles when present in normal tissues and undergoing persistent deletion in tumours could be used as markers for screening and early identification of populations at risk of developing head and neck lesions.
