      Sieviläinen, Meri; Wirsing, Anna Maria; Hyytiäinen, Aini; Almahmoudi, Rabeia; Rodrigues, Priscila; Bjerkli, Inger-Heidi; Åström, Pirjo; Toppila‑Salmi, Sanna; Paavonen, Timo; Coletta, Ricardo D.; Hadler‑Olsen, Elin; Salo, Tuula; Al‑Samadi, Ahmed (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-21)
      B7-H3 was the only molecule identified with prognostic potential from a recent systematic review of the prognostic value of immune checkpoints in oral cancer. We aimed to validate this finding in a multicenter international cohort. We retrospectively retrieved 323 oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) samples from three different countries (Brazil, Finland, and Norway) for immunostaining and ...

      Åström, Pirjo; Juurikka, Krista; Hadler-Olsen, Elin Synnøve; Svineng, Gunbjørg; Cervigne, Nilva K.; Coletta, Ricardo D.; Risteli, Juha; Kauppila, Joonas H.; Skarp, Sini; Kuttner, Samuel; Oteiza, Ana; Sutinen, Meeri; Salo, Tuula (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-03)
      Background: Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) has oncosuppressive properties in various cancers. We attempted to assess MMP-8 function in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC).<p> <p>Methods: MMP-8 overexpressing OTSCC cells were used to study the effect of MMP-8 on proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion and gene and protein expression. Moreover, MMP-8 functions were assessed in the ...
