The objective of this study was to evaluate cytokines in unstimulated whole saliva (UWS) of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients as compared to those with pre- and post-operation for evaluation as markers of OSCC. Sixteen OSCC patients were included in this study. Cytokine concentrations in resting saliva were measured using a Bio-Plex suspension array system. Only interleukin-1 (IL-1) beta showed significantly different cytokine concentration in saliva between pre- and post-operation. IL-1 beta was released from cultured OSCC cells confirmed by ELISA and immunohistochemistry. From this study, IL-1 beta in UWS may be useful for detection of early stage OSCC. More studies are needed to accept the utility of IL-1 beta in UWS for predicting, diagnosis and evaluation of OSCC.
本研究旨在评估口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)患者的非刺激全唾液(UWS)中的细胞因子,并与术前和术后的细胞因子进行比较,将其作为 OSCC 的标志物。本研究纳入了 16 名 OSCC 患者。使用 Bio-Plex 悬浮阵列系统测量静止唾液中的细胞因子浓度。只有白细胞介素-1(IL-1)β在唾液中的浓度在术前和术后之间存在显著差异。ELISA 和免疫组织化学证实,IL-1β可从培养的 OSCC 细胞中释放。本研究表明,UWS 中的 IL-1β可能可用于检测早期 OSCC。需要进一步研究以接受 UWS 中 IL-1β在预测、诊断和评估 OSCC 方面的效用。
