The expression of RBP1 in tongue squamous carcinoma cells (TSCC) correlates with the degree of tumor differentiation and lymph node metastasis (32), and RBP1 overexpression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) promotes the development of cellular autophagy and facilitates the growth and invasion of OSCC (25). This evidence concerns the gene RBP1 and neoplasm.
