Main findings regarding the role of NNMT in HNT.

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.
