Abstract: Objective To screen differentially expressed protein kinases and their inhibitors, in order to provide new targets for molecular therapy of hypopharyngeal cancer. Methods GEO database and SAM software were employed to screen the differentially expressed protein kinase genes in hypopharyngeal cancer. Human hypopharyngeal cancer FaDu cell line was cultured in vitro. Real-time PCR was used to prove the accuracy of microarray results. Based on KEGG database, the kinase-regulated pathways were identified. The inhibitors of such kinases were identified by using kinase-inhibitor database. Results A total of 3 protein kinase genes(PKC-β, CDK6 and CDC42)were identified(fold change≥2.0, P<0.05). Real-time PCR showed that the 3 kinase genes were differentially expressed in FaDu cells, which was consistent with the microarray results(P<0.05)Pathway analysis indicated that a complex pathway network was regulated by the 3 kinases. The results of inhibitor screening showed that 5 inhibitors regulated PKC-β, 4 inhibitors regulated CDK6 and 3 inhibitors regulated CDC42. There were less than 10 studies about the 4 inhibitors in cancer. Conclusion Three differentially expressed protein kinases(PKC-β, CDK6 and CDC42)are identified and they are able to promote the development of tumor. Their kinase inhibitors may play a potential anti-cancer role, which may provide a new target for molecular therapy of hypopharyngeal cancer.

[13] 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..
