Cadmium Exposure Facilitates Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Progression and Epithelial–mesenchymal Transition Through the Upregulation of ATP1B4

Key Points

• Cadmium exposure accelerates the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma, indicating a significant health risk.
• Key findings suggest that ATP1B4 is upregulated in response to cadmium, which facilitates cancer development.
• Analysis focuses on the relationship between cadmium and its role in epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cancer cells.
• These findings highlight the need for further investigations to evaluate potential regulatory strategies against cadmium exposure.
