Current literature supports the presence of a local HPT axis equivalent within keratinocytes of the skin, with thyroid hormones playing a potential role in cancer progression. However, this remains to be seen within oral tissue cells. An electronic search of Scopus and PubMed\/Medline databases was conducted to identify all original publications that reported data on the production or effects of HPT axis components in normal or malignant cells of the oral cavity. The search identified 221 studies, of which 14 were eligible. Eight studies were retrospective analyses of clinical samples, one study involved both in vivo and in vitro experiments, and the remaining five studies were conducted in vitro using cell lines. The search identified evidence of effects of HPT components on oral cancer cells. However, there were limited data for the production of HPT axis components by oral tissues. We conclude that a possible role of the local HPT axis equivalent in the oral mucosa may not be established at present. The gaps in knowledge identified in this scoping review, particularly regarding the production of HPT components by oral tissues, warrant further investigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms232214096","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,16]],"date-time":"2022-11-16T02:24:53Z","timestamp":1668565493000},"page":"14096","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Hypothalamic\u2013Pituitary\u2013Thyroid Axis Equivalent in Normal and Cancerous Oral Tissues: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Lisa","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Melbourne Dental School, The University of Melbourne, 720 Swanston Street, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Melbourne Dental School, The University of Melbourne, 720 Swanston Street, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Melbourne Dental School, The University of Melbourne, 720 Swanston Street, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jenny","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Melbourne Dental School, The University of Melbourne, 720 Swanston Street, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claire","family":"Yee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Melbourne Dental School, The University of Melbourne, 720 Swanston Street, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1429-1323","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicola","family":"Cirillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Melbourne Dental School, The University of Melbourne, 720 Swanston Street, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"11","DOI":"10.1080\/10408440601123446","article-title":"General background on the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis","volume":"37","author":"Zoeller","year":"2007","journal-title":"Crit.
