| Abstract |
Although the expression of tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNFRs) has been associated with clinicopathologic features of some other cancers, their roles in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC) have not been documented. Forty-five HPSCC specimens were analyzed for the expression of TNFR1 and TNFR2 and its relationship with clinicopathologic factors. Interaction between the two receptors and its effects on TNF-α was investigated by neutralizing TNFR1 and upregulation of TNFR2. The results indicated that, in HPSCC specimens, the expression of TNFR1 but not TNFR2 is associated with clinical staging, T stage, cervical lymph node metastasis, and histologic grade in HPSCC. In Fadu cells, when conjugating with its receptors, TNF-α mediates proliferation effects, and neutralizing TNFR1 and/or upregulating TNFR2 evokes proliferation-inhibiting and apoptosis-inducing effects and potentiates cisplatin (DDP)-induced growth inhibition and apoptosis induction. In conclusion, interaction of TNFR1 with TNFR2 determines the biological characters of HPSCC, and TNFR1 may dominate this process. Moreover, interaction between the two receptors plays important roles in determining the fates of HPSCC cells and thus may serve as a therapeutic target for developing new therapeutic strategies for HPSCC. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 April 2016.
All research outputs
#20,322,106
of 22,865,319 outputs
Outputs from Tumor Biology
#1,835
of 2,623 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#219,415
of 263,217 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Tumor Biology
#106
of 164 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,865,319 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,623 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 263,217 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 164 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
