Salivary cytokines in cell proliferation and cancer
چکیده انگلیسی
Salivary peptides can influence inflammatory processes and cell proliferation in epithelia of the upper digestive tract. These include transforming growth factors (TGFs), epidermal growth factors (EGFs), vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) as well as amines such as melatonin. Of those, candidate cytokines like interleukin 8, tumor necrosis factors (TNFs) and leptin are involved in neoplastic activities of salivary glands and the oral cavity. The exact mechanisms of action are not yet completely understood, but their presence can be utilized for diagnostic purposes. Salivary gland tumors in patients may, in certain circumstances, be identified by saliva diagnostics. Saliva samples of the concerned patients, for instance, reveal significantly higher leptin concentrations than those of healthy individuals. Numerous studies postulate that, beside single indicators, the establishment of salivary hormone profiles may assist clinicians and researchers in detecting tumors and other pathologies of the oral cavity, including adjacent tissues, with high sensitivity and specificity.
