Abstract

Recently, attention has been focused on molecular targeted cancer therapy in various tumors. Although there is no single consistent molecular target specific for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and salivary gland cancer (SGC), there are a number of promising candidate proteins. The aim of this review is to introduce the basic evidences to support the molecular targeting for OSCC and SGC. We focused on the 4 molecules, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), and progesterone receptor, that are, respectively, associated with the proliferation and the differentiation of OSCC and SGC. Gefitinib ("Iressa," ZD1839), a small molecule EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, can inhibit the proliferation of OSCC cell lines in a dose- and time-dependent manner and lead to cell cycle arrest with accumulation of cells in the G1 phase, and a decrease of cells in S phase. The agent suppressed tumor metastasis in the animal model. Furthermore, a cooperative antiproliferative effect was obtained when cancer cells were treated with radiation followed by gefitinib. While radiation alone did not significantly affect p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and MAP ki...Continue Reading
