Abstract

The discovery of molecular biomarkers is crucial to the diagnosis of head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). Proteins from pre-surgery serum samples of patients with HNSCC and healthy individuals were analyzed by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) using a 17 cm-long immobilized pH gradient gel strip (large gel). The differentially expressed protein spots were detected by statistical analysis. Because 2 haptoglobin (Hp) alpha chains were found to be differentially expressed, the genotypic distribution of Hp alpha chains in patients and healthy individuals was assayed by polymerase chain reaction. The protein expression levels of Hp alpha chains in individuals carrying different Hp alleles were analyzed by 2-DE with a small gel. Two isoforms of haptoglobin alpha2 chain (Hp alpha2) in patients' sera were found from 2-DE analysis to be up-regulated, while the isoforms of haptoglobin alpha1 chain (Hp alpha1) were significantly down-regulated. Apolipoprotein AII and 2 isoforms of apolipoprotein CII were also differentially expressed in the sera of patients with HNSCC. The Hp alpha2 chain was significantly up-regulated in the patients carrying at least one haptoglobin 2 allele, according to the spot intensities from scanned ...Continue Reading
