Correlation of serum lactate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase in different histological grades of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and premalignant lesions

Abstract: This is the first study from this highly prevalent region of HNCA showing that serum LDH could be regarded as a biomarker for malignant and premalignant conditions of the head and neck.

“…As the serum levels of ALT, AST, ALP and LDH are major hepatic enzymes, we measured their level in order to evaluate how SS could affect the HFC diet-induced hepatocellular abnormality ( Figure 3 A–D). AST and ALT are biomarkers of liver injury, while ALP and LDH are markers of tumor cell differentiation and necrosis, respectively [ 49 ]. As expected, significant increases in serum ALT, AST, ALP and LDH levels were detected in the HFC group.…”

“…For example, plasma lipocalin-2 is upregulated in pediatric thyroid cancer and could have applications as a new biomarker. 10 Serum lactate dehydrogenase has also been shown to act as a significant marker of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, 11 and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNAs or miRNAs are significantly correlated with distant metastasis and death in patients with NPC. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Serum hsa-miR-1273 g-3p might also have potential applications as both a prognostic and diagnostic biomarker of recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.…”

“…However, the levels of serum LDH was highest in cases of moderately differentiated carcinoma as compared to poorly differentiated carcinoma. The possible reason could be that the high rate of glucose utilization (indicated by hexokinase activity) found in more poorly differentiated tumors has a higher component of aerobic oxidative metabolism (indicated by malate dehydrogenase activity) and a relatively lower contribution from anaerobic metabolism (indicated by LDH activity) than do the rates found in more differentiated tumors leading to lower LDH levels (Bhattacharjee et al, 2018). Banerjee et al, (1989) also studied the histochemical distribution of lactate, isocitrate and succinate dehydrogenases in normal oral epithelium and in well-differentiated SCC and found it to be more in the malignant cells.…”
