Özet

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, especially HPV16, is one of the causative factors for the development of head and neck squamous cell (HNSC) carcinoma. HPV-positive and HPV-negative HNSC patients differ significantly in their molecular profiles and clinical features, so they should be evaluated differently depending on their HPV status. Given the tremendous variation in HNSC cancers depending on HPV, our goal in this study was to present biomarkers and treatment options tailored to the patient's HPV status. Gene expression levels of HPV16-positive and -negative patients were used as proxies, and the differential interactome algorithm was employed to identify the differential interacting proteins (DIPs). By assessing the prognostic capabilities and druggabilities of DIPs and their interacting partners (DIP-centered modules), we introduce eight modules as potential biomarkers specialized for either positive or negative phenotype. Finally, raloxifene was repositioned for the first time as a drug candidate for the treatment of HPV16-positive HNSC patients.
