Salivary IL-6 mRNA is a Robust Biomarker in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Salivary IL-6 mRNA was previously identified as a promising biomarker of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We performed a multi-center investigation covering all geographic areas of Hungary. Saliva from 95 patients with OSCC and 80 controls, all Caucasian, were collected together with demographic...

| Tartalmi kivonat: | Salivary IL-6 mRNA was previously identified as a promising biomarker of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We performed a multi-center investigation covering all geographic areas of Hungary. Saliva from 95 patients with OSCC and 80 controls, all Caucasian, were collected together with demographic and clinicopathological data. Salivary IL-6 mRNA was quantified by real-time quantitative PCR. Salivary IL-6 protein concentration was measured by enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay. IL-6 protein expression in tumor samples was investigated by immunohistochemistry. Normalized salivary IL-6 mRNA expression values were significantly higher (p < 0.001) in patients with OSCC (mean ? SE: 3.301 ? 0.885) vs. controls (mean ? SE: 0.037 ? 0.012). Differences remained significant regardless of tumor stage and grade. AUC of the ROC curve was 0.9379 (p < 0.001; 95% confidence interval: 0.8973?0.9795; sensitivity: 0.945; specificity: 0.819). Salivary IL-6 protein levels were significantly higher (p < 0.001) in patients (mean ? SE: 70.98 ? 14.06 pg/mL), than in controls (mean ? SE: 12.45 ? 3.29). Specificity and sensitivity of IL-6 protein were less favorable than that of IL-6 mRNA. Salivary IL-6 mRNA expression was significantly associated with age and dental status. IL-6 manifestation was detected in tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating leukocytes, suggesting the presence of a paracrine loop of stimulation. Salivary IL-6 mRNA is one of the best performing and clinically relevant biomarkers of OSCC. |
