Abstract excerpt
Ionizing radiation (IR) confers a survival advantage in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC), however, IR resistance limits its efficacy. Although Yin Yang 1 (YY1) has been reported to play a role in genotoxic drug resistance by accelerating DNA repair, its role in TSCC radioresistance remains unclear. In this study, we examined YY1 mRNA and protein expression in human tongue cancer samples using qRT-PCR and...
