A Novel Necroptosis-Associated IncRNAs Signature for Prognosis of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is poor. Necroptosis is a novel programmed form of necrotic cell death. The prognostic value of necroptosis-associated lncRNAs expression in HNSCC has not been explored. Methods: We downloaded mRNA expression data of HNSCC patients from TCGA databases. Prognostic lncRNAs were identified by univariate Cox regression. LASSO was used to establish a model with necroptosis-related lncRNAs. Kaplan-Meier analysis and ROC were applied to verify the model. Finally, functional studies including gene set enrichment analyses, immune microenvironment analysis, and anti-tumor compound IC50 prediction were performed. Results: We identified 1,117 necroptosis-related lncRNAs. The Cox regression showed 55 lncRNAs were associated with patient survival (p < 0.05). The risk model of 24- lncRNAs signature categorized patients into high and low risk groups. The patients in the low-risk group survived longer than the high-risk group (p < 0.001). Validation assays including ROC curve, nomogram and correction curves confirmed the prediction capability of the 24-lncRNA risk mode. Functional studies showed the two patient groups had distinct immunity conditions and IC50. Conclusion: The 24-lncRNA model has potential to guide treatment of HNSCC. Future clinical studies are needed to verify the model.

Identification of a novel necroptosis-associated miRNA signature for predicting the prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most aggressive malignancies that have a poor prognosis. Necroptosis has been demonstrated in recent years to be a form of inflammatory cell death occurring in multicellular organism, which plays complex roles in cancer. However, the expression of necroptosis-related miRNAs and genes in HNSCC and their correlations with prognosis remain unclear. In this study, R software was used to screen differentially expressed miRNAs downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas. A prognostic model containing six necroptosis-related miRNAs (miR-141-3p, miR-148a-3p, miR-331-3p, miR-543, miR-425-5p, and miR-7-5p) was generated, whose risk score was validated as an independent prognostic factor for HNSCC. Target genes of the key miRNAs were obtained from TargetScan, miRDB, and miRTarBase, and 193 genes in the intersection of the three databases were defined as consensus genes. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and Gene Ontology analyses indicated that the composition of the tumor microenvironment as well as specific pathways may be closely related to necroptosis in HNSCC. Nine key genes were also obtained by the MCODE and cytoHubba plug-ins of Cytoscape: PIK3CD, NRAS, PTK2, IRS2, IRS1, PARP1, KLF4, SMAD2, and DNMT1. A prognostic model formed by the key gene was also established, which can efficiently predict the overall survival of HNSCC patients. In conclusion, necroptosis-related miRNAs and genes play important roles in tumor development and metastasis and can be used to predict the prognosis of HNSCC.

A novel necroptosis-related LncRNA signature for prediction of prognosis and therapeutic responses of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an essential role in the occurrence and prognosis of tumors, and it has great potential as biomarkers of tumors. However, the roles of Necroptosis-related lncRNA (NRLs) in Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remain elusive. Methods: We comprehensively analyzed the gene expression and clinical information of 964 HNSCC in four cohorts. LASSO regression was utilized to construct a necroptosis-related lncRNA prognosis signature (NLPS). We used univariate and multivariate regression to assess the independent prognostic value of NLPS. Based on the optimal cut-off, patients were divided into high- and low-risk groups. In addition, the immune profile, multi-omics alteration, and pharmacological landscape of NLPS were further revealed. Results: A total of 21 NRLs associated with survival were identified by univariate regression in four cohorts. We constructed and validated a best prognostic model (NLPS). Compared to the low-risk group, patients in the high group demonstrated a more dismal prognosis. After adjusting for clinical features by multivariate analysis, NLPS still displayed independent prognostic value. Additionally, further analysis found that patients in the low-risk group showed more abundant immune cell infiltration and immunotherapy response. In contrast, patients in the high-risk group were more sensitive to multiple chemotherapeutic agents. Conclusion: As a promising tool, the establishment of NLPS provides guidance and assistance in the clinical management and personalized treatment of HNSCC.

A novel hypoxia-associated gene signature for prognosis prediction in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundHead and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the most common malignant tumor of head and neck, which seriously threatens human life and health. However, the mechanism of hypoxia-associated genes (HAGs) in HNSCC remains unelucidated. This study aims to establish a hypoxia-associated gene signature and the nomogram for predicting the prognosis of patients with HNSCC.MethodsPrevious literature reports provided a list of HAGs. The TCGA database provided genetic and clinical information on HNSCC patients. First, a hypoxia-associated gene risk model was constructed for predicting overall survival (OS) in HNSCC patients and externally validated in four GEO datasets (GSE27020, GSE41613, GSE42743, and GSE117973). Then, immune status and metabolic pathways were analyzed. A nomogram was constructed and assessed the predictive value. Finally, experimental validation of the core genes was performed by qRT-PCR.ResultsA HNSCC prognostic model was constructed based on 8 HAGs. This risk model was validated in four external datasets and exhibited high predictive value in various clinical subgroups. Significant differences in immune cell infiltration levels and metabolic pathways were found between high and low risk subgroups. The nomogram was highly accurate for predicting OS in HNSCC patients.ConclusionsThe 8 hypoxia-associated gene signature can serve as novel independent prognostic indicators in HNSCC patients. The nomogram combining the risk score and clinical stage enhanced predictive performance in predicting OS compared to the risk model and clinical characteristics alone.

A Novel Signature of Necroptosis-Associated Genes as a Potential Prognostic Tool for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Project description:Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) arises from squamous cells in the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx. Although HNSCC is sensitive to radiotherapy, patient prognosis is poor. Necroptosis is a novel programmed form of necrotic cell death. The prognostic value of necroptosis-associated gene expression in HNSCC has not been explored. Material and Methods: We downloaded mRNA expression data of HNSCC patients from TCGA databases and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases, and compared gene expression between tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and necroptosis-related prognostic genes. A model with necroptosis-related genes was established to predict patient prognosis via LASSO method and Kaplan-Meier analysis. GSE65858 data set (n = 270) from GEO was used to verify the model's predictive ability. Gene set enrichment analyses, immune microenvironment analysis, principal component analysis, and anti-tumor compound IC50 prediction were also performed. Results: We identified 49 DEGs and found 10 DEGs were associated with patient survival (p < 0.05). A risk model of 6-gene signature was constructed using the TCGA training data set and further validated with the GEO data set. Patients in the low-risk group survived longer than those in the high-risk group (p < 0.05) in the GEO validation sets. Functional analysis showed the two patient groups were associated with distinct immunity conditions and IC50. Conclusion: We constructed a prognostic model with 6 necroptosis-associated genes for HNSCC. The model has potential usage to guide treatment because survival was different between the two groups.

Metabolism-associated molecular classification and prognosis signature of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:Although the fundamental processes and chemical changes in metabolic programs have been elucidated in many cancers, the expression patterns of metabolism-related genes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remain unclear. The mRNA expression profiles from the Cancer Genome Atlas included 502 tumour and 44 normal samples were extracted. We explored the biological functions and prognosis roles of metabolism-associated genes in patients with HNSCC. The results indicated that patients with HNSCC could be divided into three molecular subtypes (C1, C2 and C3) based on 249 metabolism-related genes. There were markedly different clinical characteristics, prognosis outcomes, and biological functions among the three subtypes. Different molecular subtypes also have different tumour microenvironments and immune infiltration levels. The established prognosis model with 17 signature genes could predict the prognosis of patients with HNSCC and was validated using an independent cohort dataset. An individual risk scoring tool was developed using the risk score and clinical parameters; the risk score was an independent prognostic factor for patients with HNSCC. Different risk stratifications have different clinical characteristics, biological features, tumour microenvironments and immune infiltration levels. Our study could be used for clinical risk management and to help conduct precision medicine for patients with HNSCC.

Comprehensive analysis reveals novel gene signature in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: predicting is associated with poor prognosis in patients.

Project description:BackgroundHead and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) remains an important public health problem, with classic risk factors being smoking and excessive alcohol consumption and usually has a poor prognosis. Therefore, it is important to explore the underlying mechanisms of tumorigenesis and screen the genes and pathways identified from such studies and their role in pathogenesis. The purpose of this study was to identify genes or signal pathways associated with the development of HNSC.MethodsIn this study, we downloaded gene expression profiles of GSE53819 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, including 18 HNSC tissues and 18 normal tissues. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the Linear Models for Microarray Data R package. Adjusted P values <0.01 and |log2 fold change (FC)| ≥2 was regarded as the filter condition. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis of these DEGs were performed on the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) online website. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was built to visualize the interactions between these DEGs using the STRING online website. Finally, hub genes were identified by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.ResultsA total of 604 DEGs consisting of 159 upregulated genes and 445 downregulated genes were selected. From these DEGs, prognostic related genes could serve as potential biomarkers for the molecular diagnosis and therapeutic intervention of HNSC were identified. Including the known genes, GPR18, CNR2, RSPH4A, ULBP2, TEX101, and STC2. And the novel genes, CCR8, CCDC39, CNTN5, MSLN, and CHGB were strongly implicated in HNSC.ConclusionsIn summary, we indicated genes associated with prognostic in patients, which improve our understanding of HNSC and could be used as new therapeutic targets for HNSC.

A Novel Ferroptosis-Related Gene Signature to Predict Prognosis in Patients with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Project description:The clinical TNM staging system is currently used to evaluate the prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The 5-year survival rate for patients with HNSCC is less than 50%, which is attributed to the lack of reliable prognostic biomarkers. Ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) regulate cancer initiation and progression. Therefore, we analyzed the correlation between FRGs and the clinical outcomes of patients with HNSCC. A typical prognostic model of FRGs for HNSCC was constructed using bioinformatics tools and data from public databases, including The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and GeneCards. The model was generated based on the following six FRGs: ATG5, PRDX6, OTUB1, FTH1, SOCS1, and MAP3K5. The accuracy of model prediction was analyzed systematically. The overall survival (OS) of the high-risk group was significantly lower than that of the low-risk group. The AUC for 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival were 0.645, 0.721, and 0.737, respectively, in the training set (TCGA cohort) and 0.726, 0.620, and 0.584, respectively, in the validation set (GSE65858). The multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the risk score was an independent prognostic factor for HNSCC. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses revealed that six FRGs were enriched in the ferroptosis pathway. A novel FRG prognostic signature model was established for HNSCC. The findings of this study reveal that FRGs are potential biomarkers for HNSCC.

A novel neutrophil extracellular trap signature to predict prognosis and immunotherapy response in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common malignant cancers, and patients with HNSCC possess early metastases and poor prognosis. Systematic therapies (including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy) are generally applied in the advanced/late stages of HNSCC, but primary and acquired resistance eventually occurs. At present, reliable biomarkers to predict the prognosis of HNSCC have not been completely identified. Recent studies have shown that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are implicated in cancer progression, metastasis and cancer immune response, and NET-related gene signatures are associated with the prognosis of patients with several human cancers. To explore whether NET-related genes play crucial roles in HNSCC, we have performed systematic analysis and reported several findings in the current study. Firstly, we identified seven novel NET-related genes and developed a NET-score signature, which was highly associated with the clinicopathological and immune traits of the HNSCC patients. Then, we, for the first time, found that NIFK was significantly upregulated in HNSCC patient samples, and its levels were significantly linked to tumor malignancy and immune status. Moreover, functional experiments confirmed that NIFK was required for HNSCC cell proliferation and metastasis. Altogether, this study has identified a novel NET-score signature based on seven novel NET-related genes to predict the prognosis of HNSCC and NIFK has also explored a new method for personalized chemo-/immuno-therapy of HNSCC.

A six-mRNA signature model for the prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), one of the most common cancers with high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide, has a poor prognosis. The transcriptome sequencing data of 500 patients with HNSCC in the TCGA dataset were assessed to find biomarkers associated with HNSCC prognosis so as to improve the prognosis of patients with HNSCC. The patients were divided into the training and testing sets. A model of six mRNAs (FRMD5, PCMT1, PDGFA, TMC8, YIPF4, ZNF324B) that could predict patient prognosis was identified in the training set using the Cox regression analysis. According to this model, the patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the high-risk group showed significantly shorter overall survival time compared with the low-risk group in both training and testing sets. The receiver operating characteristic analysis further confirmed high sensitivity and specificity for the model, which was more accurate compared with some known biomarkers in predicting HNSCC prognosis. Moreover, the model was applicable to patients of different ages, genders, clinical stages, tumor locations, smoking history, and human papillomavirus (HPV) status, as well as to microarray dataset. This model could be used as a novel biomarker for the prognosis of HNSCC and a significant tool for guiding the clinical treatment of HNSCC. The risk score acquired from the model might contribute to improving outcome prediction and management for patients with HNSCC, indicating its clinical significance.

Project description:PurposeThe inflammatory response was associated with the prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). This study aimed to perform a novel prognostic signature based on inflammation-related genes (IRGs) for a better understanding of the prognosis of HNSCC.Patients and methodsIRGs were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Functional enrichment analysis was performed to explore potential pathways. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression as well as the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) were utilized to construct an IRGs-based prognostic model on TCGA database and the GEO database was utilized for outcome validation. The nomogram model was constructed based on independent prognostic factors after univariate and multivariate Cox regression. The immune cell infiltration level was analyzed via the Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) database.ResultsIn this study, we confirmed that 60% IRGs were abnormally expressed in HNSCC samples, and these were associated with important oncobiology. Then, a prognostic signature comprising 7 hub genes was generated based on TCGA database. The results were validated in 97 patients from GSE41613. A nomogram comprising risk score, age, M stage and N stage was generated to improve the accuracy of prognosis evaluation. The immune cell infiltration analysis suggested that 5 hub genes (ADGRE1, OLR1, TIMP1, GPR132 and CCR7) were negatively correlated with tumor purity and positively correlated with the infiltration of immune cells.ConclusionOur study established a novel signature consisting of 7 hub genes for the prognostic prediction in patients with HNSCC.
