Abstract
Oral and Maxillofacial tumors (OMTs), such as oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), pleomorphic adenoma and ameloblastoma, are common head and neck tumors. Lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) is a type I acute reactive protein, which participates in body inflammatory response modulation through lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced signaling pathway by targeting macrophages (expressing cluster of differentiation 204 (CD204). Although it is well established that LBP is associated with the development of multiple types of cancer, little is known about the role of LBP in OMTs. This study aims to explore the expression of LBP in OMTs. Here immunohistochemical (IHC) double-staining of LBP and CD204 and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were conducted to explore the LBP expression in OMTs. The findings demonstrated that the LBP expression in OMTs was significantly elevated (P<0.001). In addition, the LBP expression was associated with the clinical stage (P<0.001), T-classification (P<0.001) and lymph node metastasis (P<0.001, except ELISA) but independent of histological grade of SCC, gender and age in patients with SCC. The optional cutoff of the LBP serum level is 0.721μg/ml. To conclude, LBP contributes to the development of OMTs and could be a biomarker in the screening and predicting metastasis in patients with OMTs.
