Retroviral expression of HPV-16 E6 and/or E7 in NHOKs, TECs, and hypopharyngeal carcinoma cells (FaDu) revealed induction of FoxM1B and GRHL2 by the E6 protein but not E7.
Human hypopharyngeal cancer cell lines (FADU) with overexpressing NBS1 (FADUNBS) or inducible short interference RNA to repress endogenous NBS1 (FADUNBSi) were generated by stable transfection.
Confocal microscopy imaging revealed the surprising response of FaDu cell to COL/CPP in comparison to previously studied cancer cell lines: hybrid peptides that carry both COL and CPP domain adsorb on the FaDu cell surface.
BAY 11-7082 strongly inhibits the acidic bile-induced up-regulation of miR-192 and down-regulation of miR-451a and significantly decreases the miR-21/375 ratios, previously related to poor prognosis in hypopharyngeal cancer.
In this study, we validated the antitumor function of EGFR-CAR T-cells targeted to the FaDu cell line and provided the foundation for application of the CART technique in the treatment of hypopharyngeal carcinoma.
Moreover, luciferase reporter assays revealed that MTDH is a direct target of miRNA‑98 and overexpression of miRNA‑98 induced the protein expression of PTEN and suppressed that of PI3K and p‑Akt. si‑MTDH attenuated the anticancer effects of miRNA‑98 on hypopharyngeal carcinoma via the PTEN/AKT pathway.

These findings suggested that <i>AGO2</i> gene might act as an oncogene which contributed to the tumorigenesis and progression, and has potential values for molecular diagnosis, clinical therapies and prognosis evaluation in hypopharyngeal cancer.
To define the dual roles of connexin in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), we introduced the wild-type connexin26 (wtCx26) or the mutant Cx26 (icCx26) gene, the product of which carries the amino acid sequence AKKFF, an endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi retention signal, at the C-terminus and is not sorted to cell membrane, into the human FaDu hypopharyngeal cancer cell line that had severely impaired the expression of connexin during carcinogenesis. wtCx26 protein was trafficked to the cell membrane and formed gap junction, which successfully exerted cell-cell communication.
We also demonstrate that chronic stimulation of a human hypopharyngeal carcinoma cell line (FaDu) with EGF induced the internalization of β-catenin and caveolin-1 and their co-localization with EGFR.

The results of the present study indicate that RBM17 serves a notable role in cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and apoptosis of hypopharyngeal carcinoma cells.
eIF4E- and SPARC-associated signaling pathways may be associated with lymphangiogenesis and could be exploited to counteract the spread of hypopharyngeal cancer cells.
An HPV16-positive hypopharyngeal carcinoma cell line (UD-SCC-2) was infected with wt-HSV-1 at low multiplicity of infection (MOI) and irradiated with 2 Gy at 24 h postinfection.
In this study, we validated the antitumor function of EGFR-CAR T-cells targeted to the FaDu cell line and provided the foundation for application of the CART technique in the treatment of hypopharyngeal carcinoma.
