Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas are heterogeneous neoplasms that show clinical and biological differences in association with the human papillomavirus (HPV). To provide adequate therapeutic strategies, biological and clinical characterization is essential to stratify patients based on prognostic and predictive factors. Reports on HNSCC are scarce in Mexico, thus in the present study, we analyze 414 cases of HNSCC, including those of the oropharynx (OPSCC), larynx (LASCC), and oral cavity (OCSCC). We determined the presence of HPV and p16 expression. Global expression profiles were analyzed with Affymetrix HTA 2.0 microarray in 25 selected cases HPV+/p16+ versus HPV-/p16-. In our study we analyze 25 samples derived from HNSCC patients. 18 samples were HPV-/p16- and 7 HPV+/p16+. We compared the HPV-/p16- versus the HPV+/p16+ and identified differentially expressed RNAs with a fold change greater than 1.5 or less than -1.5. These data were used to obtain 98 genes that are differentially expressed in absence of HPV. The present study offers information regarding clinical and molecular characteristics of HNSCC, both associated and unassociated with HPV, in Mexican patients.

Project description:We report the first RNA-Seq experiments profiling the effects of DEK loss in HNSCC. Our data also incorporates HPV+ and HPV- tumors to idenfity HPV-dependent and -independent gene signatures. RNA-Seq of DEK-dependent gene signatures in HNSCC cell lines

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) driven by human papillomavirus (HPV) generally have a more favourable prognosis. We hypothesized that HPV-positive HNSCC may be identified based on a miRNA signature according to their specific molecular pathogenesis and are characterized by a unique transcriptome compared to HPV-negative HNSCC. We characterized the miRNA-expression patterns of the tumors from 229 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients by Agilent miRNA microarrays in order to define a HPV-predicting miRNA signature.
