Table 2.
Tumor Type | Biological and Clinical Role of NNMT |
---|---|
OSCC | - Increase in cell proliferation, colony formation, and tumor volume; - Overexpression in tumor samples; - Association with tumor size, histological grading, and pathological staging; - Higher enzyme activity in N+ OSCC; - Higher salivary levels in OSCC patients. |
AdCC | - Higher expression in N+ and M+ AdCC cell lines. |
OT | - Overexpression in recurrent lesions. |
OMM | - Overexpression in ulcerated OMM; - Association with worse DFS. |
PTC | - Overexpression in PTC samples and cell lines; - Correlation between NNMT and HNF-1β overexpression. |
NPC | - Association with worse DSS and MeFS. |
LSCC | - Overexpression in cell lines; - Increase in cell proliferation. |
ESCC | - Overexpression in tumor samples - Overexpression in N+ ESCC; - Increase in cells growth, proliferation, and migration; - Increase tumor cell viability. |
