Background/purpose: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) represents a precancerous lesion of oral mucosa that may progress into oral cancer and its major etiological factor is areca nut chewing. Carboxyl-terminus of Hsp70-interacting protein (CHIP) functions as an ubiquitin E3 ligase and is associated with...
