| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
SIRT1 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry conducted using samples from 437 consecutive HNSCC patients. IHC revealed 79.6% staining of SIRT1 in HNSCC. Multivariate analyses revealed that expression of SIRT1 was an independent and good indicator of prognosis. In contrast with HNSCC, high expression of SIRT1 was associated with progression and prognosis in 557 gastric cancer patients. Therefore, we examined whether SIRT1 promotes differentiation in HNSCC cells by evaluating the correlation between the expression of SIRT1 and several genes implicated in stemness or differentiation in HNSCC derived cell lines. RNA interference-mediated reduction of SIRT1 showed that SIRT1 supports the expression of TAp63, which has been implicated in tumor suppression, in addition to epithelial differentiation. It was possible that SIRT1 contributes to cancer progression by supporting the transcription of tumor-suppressive TAp63.
