Objective: Although squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) originating from different anatomic localizations display a similar histological appearance
under light microscopy, they may differ in terms of epigenetic and genetic features. The aim of this study was to analyze mir-126, mir-182, and
mir-486-5p expression levels in head and neck SCCs and lung SCCs, and to identify localization-specific miRNA expression profiles.
Material and Method: The expression levels of mir-126, mir-182, and mir-486-5p were analyzed in lung, oral cavity, laryngeal, and hypopharyngeal
SCCs in 40 patients, using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.
Results: The findings showed that lung, oral cavity, laryngeal, and hypopharyngeal SCCs have distinct mir-126 and mir-486-5p expression
profiles. It was also observed that mir-126 and mir-486-5p expression levels were highly specific to the tumor localization.
Conclusion: These findings highlighted that SCCs originating from different anatomic localizations have different miRNA expression profiles.
miRNA expression analysis can be used to predict the primary localizations of those SCCs.
