Abstract

MAGE-A proteins are highly expressed in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and are promising targets for cancer immunotherapy. This study examined the presence of MAGE-A expression within the tumor center (TC) and tumor invasive front (TIF) and evaluated its relationship to poor prognosis. The expression rate of each MAGE-A subtype, A1-A12, was examined in 68 OSCCs at the TIF and TC. Slides (1-µm) of tissue microarrays (diameter =0.6 mm) were immunohistochemically stained, and the findings were correlated to clinical data. Approximately 95% of the tumors had MAGE-A expression. Higher expression in the TC was shown significantly for MAGE-A1, -A5, -A6, -A9 and -A12 (P<0.05). MAGE-A2 and -A3 exhibited the opposite behavior (not significant, P>0.05). Age, tumor size, grade and survival time were not associated with the expression of certain MAGE-A subgroups. When expression in the whole tumor tissue was considered, only MAGE-A1 was expressed at a significantly higher rate in male patients (P=0.034). At the TIF, MAGE-A9 and the UICC disease stage were significantly correlated (P=0.0263), and MAGE-A6 and the UICC disease stage exhibited a strong trend (P=0.0596). The expression of MAGE-A3, -A4, -A5, -A9 and -A11 was significantly as...Continue Reading
