Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a heterogeneous disease whose underlying etiology has not been explained by traditional prognostic factors such as tumor site, stage, or histology. Although previous studies have shown that molecular subtypes of HNSCC exist, the benefit of such a classification scheme has not been fully realized. We show that molecular subtypes of HNSCC exist; that these subtypes have distinct patterns of chromosomal gain and loss, some of which affect canonical oncogenes and tumor suppressors; and that the subtypes are biologically and clinically relevant. These subtypes provide new insight into HNSCC etiology, as well as a valuable method for classifying HNSCC tumors.

These subtypes provide new insight into HNSCC etiology, as well as a valuable method for classifying HNSCC tumors. A total of 163 samples were considered. Quality control procedures were applied to microarray probe-level intensity files. A total of 138 tumor arrays remained after removing low-quality arrays, duplicate arrays, and arrays from non-HNSCC samples. The normexp background correction and loess normalization procedures were applied to the probe-level data. After log transformation, probes were matched to a common gene database to produce expression values for 15595 genes.

Project description:Human papillomavirus-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a highly malignant disease with high death rates that have remained substantially unaltered for decades. Therefore, new treatment approaches are urgently needed. Human papillomavirus-negative tumors harbor areas of terminally differentiated tissue that are characterized by cornification. Dissecting this intrinsic ability of HNSCC cells to irreversibly differentiate into non-malignant cells may have striking tumor-targeting potential.

Project description:Distant metastasis is a major factor associated with poor prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), but little is known of its molecular mechanisms. New markers that predict clinical outcome, in particular the ability of primary tumors to develop metastatic tumors, are urgently needed. Here, we identified neurotensin, highly expressed in HNSCCs in comparison with normal tissues, as an invasion-promoting factor in HNSCC by using microarray analysis of clinical samples. Indeed, neurotensin overexpression associated with lymph node metastasis of neck, and tumors exhibiting neurotensin overexpression had a poor distant metastasis-free survival rate. In HNSCC cells which expressed neurotensin receptor 1 (NTSR1), neurotensin promoted cellular invasion, migration, and induction of matrix metalloproteinases transcripts. Disruption of NTSR1 signaling by silencing RNA caused the reversion of the invasion of HNSCC cells. By further microarray analysis using neurotensin-treated cells, neurotensin caused increased expression of genes implicated in tumor progression and metastasis including cell growth, migration, invasion, adhesion, angiogenesis, and apoptosis. Our findings have revealed a critical role of neurotensin/NTSR1 for invasion and migration in the metastatic process of HNSCC. This study raises the possibility that neurotensin/NTSR1 could be used as a possible predictive marker and a molecular therapeutic target in the antimetastatic strategies of HNSCC. Keywords: Identification of a novel therapeutic target for head and neck squamous cell carcinomas A total of 21 primary HNSCC samples were obtained from patients who underwent tumor resection at Chiba University Hospital (Chiba, Japan). 21 samples of normal-appearing mucosa at the margin of the surgical resection several centimeters from the tumor were also collected and designated histologically normal mucosa. 21 HNSCCs and paired normal tissues were used for microarray experiment. The clinicopathological grade was classified according to the criteria of the Japan Society for Head and Neck Cancer. The Ethics Committee of Chiba University approved our study, and informed consent was obtained from all patients for use of their tissue samples and clinical data. Tissue samples were immediately snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C until use.

Project description:Highly coordinated, deregulated expressions of microRNAs (miRNA) have been implicated in the development of various cancers, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Outside of HPV infection, molecular classification of HNSCC is lacking, and patient stratification by anatomical location and stage does not account for the heterogenous clinical courses seen. Previous studies have proposed molecular classifications based on gene expression, but none describe the role of microRNA expression in HNSCC subtyping. In this study, we identified reliable miRNA clusters that can be used to subclassify HNSCC tumors as well as other squamous tumors of other anatomic locations. An institutional discovery cohort was generated using miRNA expression data from microarrays, and this was validated using publicly available next-generation microRNA sequencing data from TCGA. Further analysis of these subtypes revealed distinct biological and clinical features of HNSCC tumors based on the miRNA expression profiles, which provides new insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of HNSCC.

These subtypes provide new insight into HNSCC etiology, as well as a valuable method for classifying HNSCC tumors. A total of 141 samples were considered. CEL files were subject to quality control (QC) procedures using the Affymetrix Genotyping Console, and arrays that produced contrast QC measurements above the default threshold of .4 were removed from subsequent analysis. The remaining 99 CEL files were processed with aroma, and log2 intensity ratios were produced using a pooled collection of normal samples as a reference. After segmenting the log2 ratios with DNAcopy, the resulting copy number profiles were subjected to manual review. Arrays that produced low quality copy number profiles were removed from subsequent analysis. Copy number values from chr1 - chr22 were considered.
