Identification of Molecular Biomarkers and Pathways for Risk Stratification in Human Papilloma Virus-Associated Cancers
Abstract Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the major cause of cervical cancer (CC) etiology; its contribution to head and neck cancer (HNC) incidence is steadily increasing. As individual patients’ response to the treatment of HPV-associated cancer is variable, there is a pressing need for the identification of biomarkers for risk stratification that can help determine the intensity of treatment. Methods: We have previously reported a novel prognostic and predictive indicator (HPPI) scoring system in HPV-associated cancers regardless of the anatomical locations by analyzing the TCGA and GEO databases. In this study, we comprehensively investigated the association of group-specific expression patterns of common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between high-risk and low-risk groups in HPV-associated CC and HNC, identifying a molecular biomarkers and pathways for the risk stratification. Results: Among the identified 174 DEGs, expression of the genes associated with extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interaction pathway (ITGA5, ITGB1, LAMB1, LAMC1) were increased in high-risk groups in both HPV-associated CC and HNC while expression of the genes associated with the T-cell immunity (CD3D, CD3E, CD8B, LCK, and ZAP70) were decreased vise versa. The individual genes showed statistically significant prognostic impact on HPV-associated cancers but not on HPV-negative cancers. The expression levels of identified genes were similar between HPV-negative and HPV-associated high-risk groups with distinct expression patterns only in HPV-associated low-risk groups. Each group of genes showed negative correlations, and distinct patterns of immune cell infiltration in tumor microenvironments. Conclusion: These results identify molecular biomarkers and pathways for risk stratification in HPV-associated cancers regardless of anatomical locations. The identified targets are selectively working in only HPV-associated cancers, but not in HPV-negative cancers indicating possibility of the selective targets governing HPV-infective tumor microenvironments..
