Abstract

The mechanism underlying OSCC tumorigenesis remains unclear. Periostin is considered to be a prominent oncogene in various solid tumors, although its precise role in OSCC progression remains unknown. In the present study, periostin expression was examined in surgical specimens of OSCC cases, and the results were analyzed for possible correlations with clinical characteristics. In addition, the proliferation and invasiveness of OSCC cells were evaluated following transfection with a Periostin small interfering RNA or an overexpression plasmid. The results revealed that periostin levels were significantly higher in patients with OSCC as compared with those in the controls (P<0.05). In addition, periostin levels in patients with OSCC were significantly associated with permeation classification. Furthermore, periostin expression was observed to promote the proliferation and invasiveness of OSCC cells. The present results suggest that periostin is significantly involved in the pathogenesis of OSCC.
