　　Dear Editor,

　　The manuscript entitled “XXX” was prepared following the Instructions for Authors of XXX.

　　In the present study, we found that human ### cell line displayed significant growth inhibition after ****（研究對象） knockdown, which possibly resulted from cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis. As a potential transcriptional factor, *** may regulate the expression of cell cycle or apoptosis related genes. We found that the reduction of *** expression significantly increased the expression of caspase1 and reduced the expression of ###. These latter three genes belong to the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) gene family and their protein products can prevent apoptotic cell death. We concluded that the *** gene silencing via lentivirus could be developed as a candidate for therapy of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma in the near future.

　　The authors certify that they have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the appropriateness of the experimental design and method, and the collection, analysis, and interpretation of the data. This manuscript has not been published in whole or in part nor is it being considered for publication elsewhere. The authors declare that there are no financial or other relationships that might lead to a conflict of interest of the present article. All authors have reviewed the final version of the manuscript and approved it for publication.

　　Now, the manuscript is submitting to Oncology Reports and we look forward to hearing from you.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　XXX, M. D.
