Development and validation of a RNA binding protein-associated prognostic model for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Evidence shows that defects in RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are closely related to the occurrence and development of HNSCC. We obtained 502 tumors and 44 normal samples from the TCGA database, among which 190 differentially expressed RBPs were screened. Finally, a prognostic model containing nine RBPs (CELF2, CPEB1, DDX39B, EIF3L, EZH2, KHDRBS3, RNASE10, RNASE3 and SIDT1) was produced. Further analysis showed that the overall survival rate in the high-risk group was lower than that in the low-risk group. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) in the training and testing groups was significant (3-year AUC, 0.735 vs 0.796; 5-year AUC, 0.821 vs 0.804). In addition, a comprehensive analysis of nine identified RBPs showed that most of them were related to the OS of HNSCC patients, and
