## Abstract ## Background. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines are important preclinical models in the search for novel and targeted therapies to treat head and neck cancer. Unlike many other cancer types, a wide variety of primary and metastatic HNSCC cell lines are available

โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
Background.
We established multiple University of Michigan Squamous Cell Carcinoma (UMโSCC) cell lines. With time, these have been distributed to other labs all over the world. Recent scientific discussions have noted the need to confirm the origin and identity of cell lines in grant proposals and journal articles. We genotyped the UMโSCC cell lines in our collection to confirm their unique identity.
Method.
Earlyโpassage UMโSCC cell lines were genotyped and photographed.
Results.
Thus far, 73 unique head and neck UMโSCC cell lines (from 65 donors, including 21 lines from 17 females) were genotyped. In 7 cases, separate cell lines were established from the same donor.
Conclusions.
These results will be posted on the UM Head and Neck SPORE Tissue Core website for other investigators to confirm that the UMโSCC cells used in their laboratories have the correct features. Publications using UMโSCC cell lines should confirm the genotype. ยฉ 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2010

## Abstract MicroRNAs (mirs) are small noncoding RNA molecules (โผ22 nucleotides) that regulate posttranscriptional gene expression. Currently, there has not been a comprehensive study of their role in primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). To determine the role of mirs in HNSCC, we
## Abstract ## Background Resistance to chemotherapy is a major limitation in the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs), accounting for high mortality rates in patients. Here, we investigated the role of replication protein A (RPA) in cisplatin and etoposide resistance. ##
