Neutrophils Promote Tumor Progression in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Regulating EMT and JAK2/STAT3 Signaling Through Chemerin

Abstract: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignancy of the oral cavity. In the tumor microenvironment, tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) can promote tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. The aim of our study was to explore the relationship between neutrophils infiltration and Chemerin expression in tumor cells, as well as their relationship with the clinicopathological parameters and clinical prognosis of 74 cases of OSCC. We also explored the role of the interaction between neutrophils and C… Show more

“…We next examined the potential signaling pathways that might mediate the effects of tumor stromal cells on CSCs. According to the findings in recent studies, there are several signaling pathways, including JAK/STAT [ 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 ], PI3K/Akt [ 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 ], NF-kB [ 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 ], and TGF-β signaling [ 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 ], that could possibly be mediating the stromal cell functioning in PTC, as these signaling pathways have been found to be involved in the effects of stromal cells on tumor cells [ 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 ]. To unveil the potentially engaged signaling pathways, we examined the expression of specific molecules that indicate different signaling pathway activities with Western blotting analyses.…”

“…Consistently, TGF-β pathways stimulate both EMT and the neutrophil pro-tumor phenotype (N2), which is likewise associated with therapy resistance ( 101 ). Emerging evidence suggests that neutrophils stimulate tumor progression through inducing EMT ( 60 , 109 , 110 ). It is well documented that both the neutrophils and EMT play a critical role in tumor progression and immunotherapy resistance ( 105 , 111 ).…”

“…Antibodies that neutralize IL-17a reduce tumor progression in gastric cancer (GC) cells ( Li et al, 2019 ). Moreover, in an oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) model, TANs also promoted EMT in OSCC cells by activating JAK2/STAT3 signaling ( Hu et al, 2022 ).…”
