Recent reports indicate that histamine and its novel, high-affinity histamine H 4 receptor (H 4 R) play a role in carcinogenesis, and thus H 4 R signalling has become a focus of increasing interest in the pathogenesis of many cancers. The roles of H 4 R in oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) and oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) are unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess H 4 R expression in OTSCC patients and in OTSCC-derived cell lines.
