ObjectivesThis study aimed to identify genes regulating cancer stemness of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and evaluate the ability of these genes to predict clinical outcomes.Materials and MethodsThe stemness index (mRNAsi) was obtained using a one-class logistic regression machine learning algorithm based on sequencing data of HNSCC patients. Stemness-related genes were identified by weighted gene co-expression network analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analysis (LASSO). The coefficient of LASSO was applied to construct a diagnostic risk score model. The Cancer Genome Atlas database, the Gene Expression Omnibus database, Oncomine database and the Human Protein Atlas database were used to validate the expression of key genes. Interaction network analysis was performed using String database and DisNor database. The Connectivity Map database was used to screen potential compounds. The expressions of stemness-related genes were validated using quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR).ResultsTTK, KIF14, KIF18A and DLGAP5 were identified. Stemness-related genes were upregulated in HNSCC samples. The risk score model had a significant predictive ability. CDK inhibitor was the top hit of potential compounds.ConclusionStemness-related gene expression profiles may be a potential biomarker for HNSCC.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a group of tumours which exhibit low 5 year survival rates. Thus, there is an urgent need to identify biomarkers that may improve the clinical utility of patients with HNSCC. Emerging studies support a role of toll-like receptors (TLRs) in carcinogenesis. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to assess the prognostic value of TLR immunoexpression in HNSCC patients. We compiled the results of thirteen studies comprising 1825 patients, of which six studies were deemed qualified for quantitative synthesis. The higher immunoexpression of TLR-1 to 5 and 9 was associated with a worsening of the clinical parameters of patients with HNSCC. Furthermore, induced levels of TLR-3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 were found to predict the patients’ survival time. The meta-analysis revealed that TLR-7 overexpression is associated with a decreased mortality risk in HNSCC patients (HR 0.51; 95%CI 0.13–0.89; I2 34.6%), while a higher expression of TLR-5 predicted shorter, but non-significant, survival outcome. In conclusion, this review suggests that TLRs may represent some prognostic value for patients with HNSCC. However, due to small sample sizes and other inherent methodological limitations, more well designed studies across different populations are still needed before TLRs can be recommended as a reliable clinical risk-stratification tool.
