Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The ROMCOR study will be interested in the impact and the role of oncostatin M (OSM), a cytokine belonging to IL-6 superfamily, in the physiopathology of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The study team will study the impact of the presence of OSM and its main receptor OSM-R2 on several survival outcomes (overall survival, progression free survival) by multiple technics such as immunohistochemistry, transcriptomic in situ assays and spatial transcriptomic. Furthermore, the study team will try to show a link between serum level of several cytokines and in situ tumoral OSM.

Primary outcomes (1)

- To analyze the relative expression of OSM, several inflammatory cytokines and their receptors in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (SCC).
- timeFrame
- 1 month
- description
- The relative expression of transcripts for OSM, OSM-R, as well as the main inflammatory cytokines and their receptors (LIFR, Gp130, IL-31, IL6, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-4, IL-10, IL-34, CXCL8, CXCL2, IL-17 and GCSF) will be compared between tumor and non-tumor biopsy samples. These comparisons will also be stratified by disease stage (localized, locally advanced, metastatic). Cytokine expression will be studied by RT-qPCR after RNA extraction and retro-transcription on frozen tissue biopsies (tumor and non-tumor) in nitrogen, and the value will be expressed in relation to the expression of two common housekeeping genes, GADPH and Actin B.
