Whereas extracellular calprotectin shows proinflammatory and antimicrobial properties by signaling through RAGE and TLR4, intracytoplasmic S100A8\/A9 appears to be important for cellular development, maintenance, and survival. S100A8\/A9 is constitutively expressed in myeloid cells and the stratified mucosal epithelia lining the oropharyngeal and genitourinary mucosae. While upregulated in adenocarcinomas and other cancers, calprotectin mRNA and protein levels decline in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). S100A8\/A9 is also lost during head and neck preneoplasia (dysplasia). Calprotectin decrease does not correlate with the clinical stage (TNM) of HNSCC. When expressed in carcinoma cells, S100A8\/A9 downregulates matrix metalloproteinase 2 expression and inhibits invasion and migration in vitro. S100A8\/A9 regulates cell cycle progression and decelerates cancer cell proliferation by arresting at the G2\/M checkpoint in a protein phosphatase 2\u03b1\u2013dependent manner. In HNSCC,\n                    <jats:italic>S100A8<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>S100A9<\/jats:italic>\n                    coregulate with gene networks controlling cellular development and differentiation, cell-to-cell signaling, and cell morphology, while S100A8\/A9 appears to downregulate expression of invasion- and tumorigenesis-associated genes. Indeed, tumor formation capacity is attenuated in S100A8\/A9-expressing carcinoma cells in vivo. Hence, intracellular calprotectin appears to function as a tumor suppressor in head and neck carcinogenesis. When compared with S100A8\/A9-low HNSCC based on analysis of TCGA, S100A8\/A9-high HNSCC shows significant upregulation of apoptosis-related genes, including multiple caspases. Accordingly, S100A8\/A9 facilitates DNA damage responses in HNSCC, promotes apoptotic cell death, and confers sensitivity to cisplatin and X-radiation in vitro. In the tumor milieu, loss of S100A8\/A9 strongly associates with poor squamous differentiation and higher tumor grading, EGFR upregulation, increased DNA methylation, and, finally, poorer overall survival for patients with HNSCC. Hence, intracellular calprotectin shows a multifaceted protective role against the development of HNSCC.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0022034518756330","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,14]],"date-time":"2018-02-14T15:03:28Z","timestamp":1518620608000},"page":"674-682","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Calprotectin and the Initiation and Progression of Head and Neck Cancer"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"97","author":[{"given":"P.P.","family":"Argyris","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic and Biological Sciences, School of Dentistry, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Z.M.","family":"Slama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic and Biological Sciences, School of Dentistry, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.F.","family":"Ross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic and Biological Sciences, School of Dentistry, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Khammanivong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN, USA"},{"name":"Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.C.","family":"Herzberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic and Biological Sciences, School of Dentistry, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,14]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Epidermal differentiation complex: a review on its epigenetic regulation and potential drug targets","volume":"18","author":"Abhishek S","year":"2016","unstructured":"Abhishek S, Palamadai Krishnan S. 2016.
