Newest firstIntroduction Marijuana use is associated with HPV-positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, cannabinoid use continues to increase in the US general population for recreational purposes as well as in cancer patients for palliative care. In this study, we explored the role of cannabidiol (CBD) in promoting anti-tumor activity by modulating immune response in HPV-positive HNSCC by using pre-cli…
Open article record in new tab ↗We previously observed a novel osteoclastogenesis system that is induced by oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells, which target osteoclast precursor cells (OPC) without upregulation of the master transcriptional factor of osteoclastogenesis, NFATc1. Here, we analyzed inflammatory cytokines that were preferentially expressed in one of the osteoclastogenic OSCC cell lines, namely NEM, compared with the subclone…
Cannabidiol (CBD) has anti-tumorigenic activity. However, the anti-cancer effect of CBD on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains unclear. The cytotoxicity of CBD on HNSCC was analyzed using cell survival and colony-forming assays in vitro. RNA-seq was used for determining the mechanism underlying CBD-induced cell death. Xenograft mouse models were used to determine CBD's effects in vivo. CBD treatm…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Endocannabinoids have recently drawn attention as promising anti-cancer agents. We previously observed that anandamide (AEA), one of the representative endocannabinoids, effectively inhibited the proliferation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines in a receptor-independent manner. In this study, using HNSCC cell lines, we examined the anti-cancer effects and the mechanisms of actio…
