Abstract: Objective To screen for molecular markers affecting malignant transformation and prognosis of laryngeal papilloma using bioinformatics analysis. Methods The GSE10935 gene expression profile of adult laryngeal papilloma was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and the transcriptome data for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Differentially expressed genes(DEGs)in each dataset were identified using limma and DESeq2 R package. Venn diagrams analysis was conducted for identifying common DEGs. Survival analysis was performed by plotting the Kaplan-Meier curves in the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis(GEPIA)database to screen for candidate genes. Protein expression in the Human Protein Atlas database was analyzed to identify key genes. Univariate/multivariate Cox regression analysis and functional enrichment analyses were performed using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. Results A total of 112 DEGs were related to the occurrence and development of laryngeal papilloma, and 1817 DEGs were related to laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Twenty-four common DEGs were identified using Venn diagram analysis. GEPIA revealed that the expression of FSCN1, MMP1, and IFI27 was upregulated, while that of ALDH3A1, HLF, and MMRN1 was downregulated in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC)samples compared with that in normal tissue samples; all differences were significant(FSCN1:P=0.002 9, MMP1:P=0.047, IFI27:P=0.035, ALDH3A1:P=0.024, HLF:P=0.008, MMRN1:P=0.036). Survival analysis revealed that the overexpression of FSCN1, MMP1, and IFI27 and low expression of ALDH3A1, HLF, and MMRN1 affected overall survival. Immunohistochemical analysis showed high FSCN1 expression and low ALDH3A1 expression in HNSCC samples. Further survival analysis showed that the expression levels of FSCN1 and ALDH3A1 were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of human papillomavirus-related HNSCC. Conclusion FSCN1 and ALDH3A1 are plausible key genes in the malignant transformation of laryngeal papilloma. High FSCN1 expression and low ALDH3A1 expression affect the prognosis of human papillomavirus-related HNSCC and are potential molecular targets for suppressing malignant transformation.

[3] ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to provide new perspectives and targets for the treatment of HNSCC by screening differentially expressed genes during cetuximab treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC)using bioinformatics. MethodsThe chip dataset, GSE109756, was downloaded from the GEO database, and the online analysis tool, GEO2R, was used to screen differentially expressed genes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma tissues treated with and without cetuximab. The DAVID 6.8 and STRING online software were used to analyze the function of the differentially expressed genes, their pathway enrichment, and their protein interactions. Cytoscape was used to visualize and analyze the protein interactions. The online analysis tool, X2K, was used to find the transcription factors, the kinases of differentially expressed genes, and their mutual regulatory relationship with the targeted genes. ResultsNinety-one differentially expressed genes, including 50 up-regulated and 41 down-regulated genes(P<0.05; | logFC | > 1), were found in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma tissues treated with and without cetuximab. The GO and KEGG pathway analyses suggested that these differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched with immunomodulation, extracellular matrix, and other processes. Through the construction of a protein-protein interaction network, we screened CD163, VSIG4, and 3 other core differentially expressed genes(P<0.05), which were up-regulated after cetuximab treatment. In addition, our analysis shows that transcription factors, including SUZ12, TP63, and ESR1, played a key role in cetuximab treatment(P<0.05)and MAPK14, CDK1, and MAPK1 were the most important kinases during the process(P<0.05). ConclusionCD163, VSIG4, and the aforementioned transcription factors and protein kinases may be involved in the biological processes that underlie cetuximab treatment of HNSCC. This study provides new perspectives to facilitate further understanding of the biological mechanism that underlies cetuximab treatment of HNSCC and the exploration of the effectiveness of HNSCC treatment..
