Comprehensive Analysis of the Role of SLC2A3 on Prognosis and Immune Infiltration in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Background. SLC2A3 is upregulated in various cancer types and promotes proliferation, invasion, and metabolism. However, its role in the prognosis and immune regulation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is still obscure. This study is aimed at exploring the prognostic and immunotherap...

| description | Background. SLC2A3 is upregulated in various cancer types and promotes proliferation, invasion, and metabolism. However, its role in the prognosis and immune regulation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is still obscure. This study is aimed at exploring the prognostic and immunotherapeutic potential of SLC2A3 in HNSCC. Methods. All data were downloaded from TCGA database and integrated via R software. SLC2A3 expression was evaluated using R software, TIMER, CPTAC, and HPA databases. The association between SLC2A3 expression and clinicopathologic characteristics was assessed by R software. The effect of SLC2A3 on survival was analyzed by R software and Kaplan-Meier Plotter. Genomic alterations in SLC2A3 were investigated using the cBioPortal database. Coexpression of SLC2A3 was studied using LinkedOmics and STRING, and enrichment analyses were performed with R software. The relationship between SLC2A3 expression and immune infiltration was determined using TIMER and TISIDB databases. Immune checkpoints and ESTIMATE score were analyzed via the SangerBox database. Results. SLC2A3 expression was upregulated in HNSCC tissues compared to normal tissues. It was significantly related to TNM stage, histological grade, and alcohol history. High SLC2A3 expression was associated with poor prognosis in HNSCC. Coexpression analysis indicated that SLC2A3 mostly participated in the HIF-1 signaling pathway and glycolysis. Furthermore, SLC2A3 expression strongly correlated with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in HNSCC. Conclusion. SLC2A3 could serve as a potential prognostic biomarker for tumor immune infiltration in HNSCC. |
