New Insights into the impact of Human Papillomavirus on Oral Cancer in Young Patients: Proteomic Approach Reveals a Novel Role for S100A8
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection has been recently linked to a subset of cancers affecting the oral cavity. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying HPV-driven oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) onset and/ progression are poorly understood. Methods: We perform a MS-based proteomic profiling based on HPV status on OSCC in young patients, following biological characterization and cell assays to explore the proteome functional landscape. Results: Thirty-nine proteins are differentially abundant between HPV (+) and HPV (-) OSCC. Among them, COPS3, DYHC1, and S100A8 are unfavorable for tumor recurrence and survival in contrast to A2M and Serpine1, which low levels show association with better DFS. Remarkably, S100A8 is considered an independent prognostic factor for lower survival rate, and at high levels, it alters tumor-associated immune profiling, showing a lower proportion of M1 macrophages and dendritic cells. HPV (+) OSCC also displayed the pathogen-associated patterns receptor which, when activated, triggered S100A8 and NFκB inflammatory responses. Conclusion: HPV (+) OSCC has a peculiar microenvironment pattern, distinctively of HPV (-), involving expression of pathogen-associated pattern receptors, S100A8 overexpression, and NFκB activation and responses that had important consequences in prognosis and may guide therapeutic decisions.
