RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) on the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) through neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the tumor immune microenvironment. METHODS: The expression of NETs-related markers was identified through immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and Western blotting in different clinical stages of OSCC samples. The relationship between NETs-related markers and clinicopathological characteristics in 180 samples was analyzed using immunohistochemistry data. Furthermore, the ability to predict the prognosis of OSCC patients was determined by ROC curve analysis and survival analysis. The effect of P. gingivalis on the release of NETs was identified through immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry, both in vitro and in vivo. CAL27 and SCC25 cell lines were subjected to NETs stimulation to elucidate the influence of NETs on various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and metastasis in vitro. Furthermore, the impact of NETs on the growth and metastatic potential of OSCC was assessed using in vivo models involving tumor-bearing mice and tumor metastasis mouse models. RESULTS: Immunochemistry analysis revealed a significant correlation between the NETs-related markers and clinical stage, living status as well as TN stage. P. gingivalis has demonstrated its ability to effectively induce the release of NETs both in vivo and in vitro. NETs have the potential to facilitate cell migration, invasion, and colony formation. Moreover, in vivo experiments have demonstrated that NETs play a pivotal role in promoting tumor metastasis. CONCLUSION: High expression of NETs-related markers demonstrates a strong correlation with the progression of OSCC. Inhibition of the NETs release process stimulated by P. gingivalis and targeted NETs could potentially open up a novel avenue in the field of immunotherapy for patients afflicted with OSCC.

RESUMO

Objectives: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the most common malignancy of the head and neck. However, the molecular mechanisms governing the development of HNSCC have not been fully elucidated. Materials and Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened out from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and GSE23036 datasets. Weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to reveal the correlations among genes and to search for significantly correlated gene modules. The expression levels of genes in HNSCC and normal samples according to antibody-based detected methods was assessed by utilizing the Human Protein Atlas (HPA). The impact of the selected hub genes on the prognosis of HNSCC patients was assessed by analysing immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence (IF) expression levels and clinical data. Results: Twenty-four genes positively correlated with tumour status and 15 genes negatively correlated with tumour status were screened out by WGCNA. PLAU and LAMC2 were associated with a poor prognosis in patients with HNSCC and were finally screened out and verified by GEPIA and HPA database analysis. Immunohistochemistry of samples collected from 175 patients with HNSCC and subsequent statistical analysis also showed that PLAU and LAMC2 were associated with a poor prognosis in patients with HNSCC, and the levels of these two factors were positively correlated. The expression and co-localization of PLAU and LAMC2 in HNSCC tissues were confirmed by double immunofluorescence labeling. Conclusions: There was a positive correlation between PLAU and LAMC2 expression in HNSCC samples, and PLAU and LAMC2 might be independent prognostic biomarkers for HNSCC.
