“…Consequently, dysregulation of PLODs could be associated with the proliferation of various tumors, including glioma, gastric, and lung cancer [ [18] , [19] , [20] , 38 ]. In addition, our previous study identified that PLODs could be regulators in lower-grade gliomas and soft tissue sarcoma, which could further support this hypothesis [ 22 , 23 ]. The third possible mechanism linking PLODs to HNSCC is the Wnt signaling pathway.…”
