What is Enhanced Expression of IGFBP-3 Reduces Radiosensitivity and Is Associated with Poor Prognosis in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma about?

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) modulates various cell functions through IGF-dependent or independent mechanisms. However, its biological roles in the radiosensitivity of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remain largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical significance and molecular mechanisms of the association between IGFBP-3 and OSCC radiosensitivity. We performed an immunohistochemical analysis of IGFBP-3 in 52 OSCC specimens from patients treated with preoperative chemoradiotherapy and surgery (phase II study). Associations between IGFBP-3 expression and clinicopathological features were also evaluated. In addition, we examined the effects of IGFBP-3 on post-X-ray irradiation radiosensitivity and DNA damage in vitro. High IGFBP-3 expression was significantly correlated with poor chemoradiotherapy responses and prognosis. With IGFBP-3 knockdown, irradiated OSCC cells exhibited significantly higher radiosensitivity compared with that of control cells. Moreover, IGFBP-3 depletion in OSCC cells reduced phosphorylation of the DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs), which is required for DNA double-strand
