Abstract excerpt
In vitro studies have identified 14-3-3sigma as a regulator of senescence in human keratinocytes. To assess its contribution to squamous neoplasia, we have analyzed genetic and epigenetic changes in this gene in squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) and dysplastic lesions of the oral cavity. No mutations were detected in the coding sequence of 14-3-3sigma in 20 oral carcinomas, and there was loss of heterozygosity in...
