Increased salivary AKR1B10 level: association with progression and poor prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract

Background

Aldo‐keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKR1B10) expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tissue specimens is correlated with the progression and prognosis of OSCC.

Methods

Saliva samples were obtained from 35 normal controls and 86 patients with OSCC before cancer surgery. The AKR1B10 levels were determined using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Results

The mean salivary AKR1B10 levels were significantly higher in the patients with OSCC than in the normal controls (P < .001). Higher salivary AKR1B10 levels were significantly associated with larger tumor size, more advanced clinical stage, and areca quid chewing habit. Patients with OSCC with a higher salivary AKR1B10 level (>646 pg/mL) had a significantly poorer survival than those with a lower (≤646 pg/mL) salivary AKR1B10 level (P = .026).

Conclusion

The salivary AKR1B10 level may be a promising biomarker for screening high‐risk patients with OSCC and monitoring the progression of OSCC.
