Translational approach utilizing COX-2, p53, and MDM2 expressions in malignant transformation of oral submucous fibrosis

Abstract: About 20% of the world's population uses some form of betel nut, which suggests that the incidence of oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is higher than current estimates. OSF has the potential to undergo malignant transformation; thus, there is a need to identify relevant markers to assess its aggressiveness. We evaluated changes in COX-2, p53, and MDM2 expressions in progressive OSF. Expressions of COX-2, p53, and MDM2 increased with OSF progression. There was a strong association between COX-2 overexpression and … Show more

“…While oxidative stress is indeed associated with OSMF, tissue inflammation is crucial for the induction of tissue fibrosis. The involvement of prostanoids and other inflammatory mediators [90,91] as well as immune cells (recently reviewed in [92]) is central to OSMF pathogenesis but was not in the scope of our review.…”

“…The role of COX-2 in carcinogenesis is also suggested by studies which have revealed a lower risk of developing a malignant tumour in those patients receiving COX-2 inhibitors [ 102 ]. Patel et al pointed out that COX-2 overexpression could be correlated with the risk of recurrence of OSCC [ 103 ].…”
