1. A method of suppressing squamous epithelial carcinoma cell hyperproliferation in a subject comprising:
topically applying to a squamous epithelial carcinoma cell that is S100A8 and S100A9 negative in the subject a composition comprising:
(i) at least one in vitro transcribed isolated mRNA that encodes at least two polypeptides involved in suppressing cell proliferation, wherein the at least two polypeptides comprise S100A8 and S100A9, and
(ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable in vivo delivery vehicle formulated for topical application, whereby the at least one in vitro transcribed isolated mRNA transfected in vivo expresses the at least two polypeptides in the squamous epithelial carcinoma cell in the subject to suppress hyperproliferation of the squamous epithelial carcinoma cell, wherein the squamous epithelial carcinoma cell is selected from the group consisting of a head and neck cancer, an orthotopic cancer, and an esophageal cancer.
