High Expression of MTA1 Predicts Unfavorable Survival in Patients With Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader High Expression of MTA1 Predicts Unfavorable Survival in Patients With Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Via In vivo (Athens, Greece) In Vivo. 2021 Jul-Aug;35(4):2363-2368. doi: 10.21873/invivo.12513. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND/AIM: Metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1) plays a role in ATP-dependent nucleosome disruption activity and histone deacetylase activity and may indicate DNA methylation activity. MTA1 may also be involved in the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: MTA1 immunoreactivity was analyzed using immunohistochemical (IHC) staining analysis in specimens from 281 OSCC patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to determine the prognostic value of MTA1 for overall survival. RESULTS: High MTA1 expression was significantly associated with female gender and lymph node metastasis. Multivariate analyses showed the independent prognostic role of high MTA1 expression in patients with OSCC of poorer mean survival. CONCLUSION: MTA1 expression, detected by IHC staining, could be an independent prognostic marker for p atients of OSCC. PMID:34182519 | DOI:10.21873/invivo.12513 View on the web Inoreader.
