Figure Legend Snippet: The canonical activin A pathway. Activin A is composed of inhibin βA subunits (βA) and binds to activin receptor type II and IIB (ACVR2/2B). Inhibin, composed of a βA and α subunit, competitively binds and sequesters ACVR2/2B, ultimately inhibiting the activin axis. Contrariwise, activin binding ultimately forms a Smad transcriptions complex (comprised of Smad 2, 3 and 4), the phosphorylation of activin receptor type IB (ACVR1B) subsequently stimulating and activating the Smad transcription complex, thereby eliciting downstream cellular behaviors such as proliferation inhibition, apoptosis, and epithelial mesenchymal transition. Of note, activin may have proliferative effects outside of this axis, as described in the introduction and discussion.
Techniques Used: Binding Assay, Phospho-proteomics, Inhibition
Figure Legend Snippet: Immunohistochemistry expression of inhibin subunits (INHA, INHBA, INHBB) and activin receptors (ACVR1B, ACVR2, ACVR2B) in five normal, 15 oral premalignant (OPL) and 12 HNSCC tumor tissue samples. Chi-square tests were employed for analysis with p <0.05 being significant; diffuse and focal positivity were scored as positive. Premalignant and malignant lesions demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the prevalence of ligand inhibin βA (INHBA) (χ 2 (2, N = 32) = 18.98, p < .0001) (Row 6) as well as ACVR1B (χ 2 (2, N = 32) = 11.52, p < .0032) (Row 11). There was also a decreased prevalence of ACVR2B among pre-malignant and malignant lesions in comparison to normal mucosa (χ 2 (2, N = 32) = 0.0018, p < .0018) (Row 13).
