OBJECTIVE The present study was carried out to unfold the clinical significance of apoptosis stimulating protein of p53 (ASPP) 1 and ASPP2 expression in oral cancer (OC). METHODS Tissue specimens (malignant and their corresponding adjacent normal) from 40 pathologically confirmed OC patients treated at the Institute were included in the study. ASPP1 and ASPP2 expression were examined using semi-quantitative RT-PCR. RESULTS The results indicated lower ASPP1 expression in OC tissues as compared to adjacent normal tissues (p = 0.085). Stratified analysis as per tumor site revealed significant down-regulation of ASPP1 in tongue cancer tissues (p = 0.005). Receiver operating characteristic curve depicted significant discriminatory efficacy in distinguishing tongue cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues (p = 0.019). Moreover, ASPP1 expression was remarkably declined in stage II, III and IV OC tumors than stage I OC tumors (p = 0.007, 0.092 and 0.013, respectively). A similar trend was observed in buccal mucosa tumors on further analysis. ASPP2 expression was lower in moderately differentiated OC tumors as compared to well differentiated OC tumors (p = 0.061). Significantly reduced ASPP2 expression was observed in tongue cancer tumors without invasion in contrast to tumors with perineural invasion (p = 0.007). Besides, ASPP1 and ASPP2 expression was positively inter-correlated in tongue tissues (r = 0.325, p = 0.091). CONCLUSIONS Lower ASPP1 expression in tongue cancer during malignant transformation has significance in cancer initiation. Association of reduced ASPP1 and ASPP2 expression with advanced disease stage and moderate differentiation suggests their role in OC progression. Thus, down-regulation of ASPP1 and ASPP2 may serve as potential diagnostic and prognostic indicators in OC.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D048868 Adaptor Proteins, Signal Transducing A broad category of carrier proteins that play a role in SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION. They generally contain several modular domains, each of which having its own binding activity, and act by forming complexes with other intracellular-signaling molecules. Signal-transducing adaptor proteins lack enzyme activity, however their activity can be modulated by other signal-transducing enzymes Signal Transducing Adaptor Proteins
