A key issue in cancer is apoptosis resistance. However, little is known about the transcription factors which contribute to cellular survival of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Three batches (54, 64, and 38) of HNSCC specimens were used for cellular and molecular analyses in order to determine the major molecular signaling pathways for cellular survival in HNSCC. Animal models (cell culture and xenografts) were employed to verify the importance of apoptosis resistance in HNSCC. Inhibitor of differentiation (Id) family member, Id1, was significantly up-regulated in clinical HNSCC specimens and acted to protect keratinocytes from apoptosis. Transfection of HNSCC cells with Id1 in vitro induced the phosphorylation of Akt (p-Akt) via phosphoinositide kinase-3 (PI3K) and increased the expression of survivin via nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB). Blockage of the both pathways by specific inhibitors (LY294002 and IκBαM, respectively) abrogated Id1-induced cell survival of keratinocytes. In vivo studies demonstrated that increased expression of Id1 allowed non-tumorigenic keratinocytes (Rhek-1A) to become tumorigenic in nude mice by increased expression of survival genes such as p-Akt and survivin. More importantly, short interfering RNA (siRNA) for Id1 significantly reduced HNSCC tumorvolume of HNSCC in xenograft studies. Analysis of clinical data verified the importance of the Id1 downstream molecule, survivin, in the prognosis of HNSCC patients. The above data, taken together, suggest that Id1 and its downstream effectors are potential targets for treatment of HNSCC because of their contribution to apoptosis resistance.
