Abstract:

The molecular mechanisms underlying the occurrence and progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are still not fully understood. This topic remains a focal point of research to comprehend the malignant biological characteristics of OSCC and explore targeted therapeutic approaches. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and their receptors (RAGE) interact with other receptors in vivo, thereby activating multiple signaling pathways to induce the synthesis of interleukins, growth factors, and cytokine synthesis. Recent studies have shown that the activation of AGE/RAGE-related signaling pathways affects the proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, and local recurrence of oral cancer and is associated with poor prognosis in patients with advanced oral cancer. This paper reviews the relationship between AGEs/RAGE and OSCC with the aim of providing potential targets for OSCC treatment.

Key words: oral squamous cell carcinoma, advanced glycation end-product, receptor of advanced glycation end-product
