Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive genomic characterization of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas

Michael S. Lawrence, +309 more
- 29 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that human-papillomavirus-associated tumours are dominated by helical domain mutations of the oncogene PIK3CA, novel alterations involving loss of TRAF3, and amplification of the cell cycle gene E2F1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of HPV and host genome interactions in primary head and neck cancers.

Michael Parfenov, +314 more
TL;DR: A cohort of 279 head and neck cancers with next generation RNA and DNA sequencing is profiled to provide insight into the mechanisms by which HPV interacts with the human genome beyond expression of viral oncoproteins and suggest that specific integration events are an integral component of viraloncogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

miR-218 Suppresses Nasopharyngeal Cancer Progression through Downregulation of Survivin and the SLIT2-ROBO1 Pathway

TL;DR: An integrative tumor suppressor function for miR-218 in NPC is defined and it is suggested that restoring mi R-218 expression in NPC might be useful for its clinical management.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancer of Zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is overexpressed in recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma and is regulated by miR-26a, miR-101, and miR-98

TL;DR: EZH2 is reported as being associated with a higher risk of relapse in NPC patients (P=0.002), and miR-98 was underexpressed in relapsed patient samples, strongly suggesting an important role for the miR -98 and EZh2 axis in NPC biology.
