Abstract
Aim: To identify genes associated with the prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) and potential molecular targets for therapy. Materials and Methods: Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, Human Protein Atlas, University of ALabama at Birmingham CANcer, LinkedOmics, cBioPortal, Cell Counting Kit 8, and polymerase chain reaction were used in this study. Results: The expression level of nuclear transport factor 2 (NUTF2) was elevated in HNSC tissues and was associated with poor prognosis in HNSC patients. NUTF2-targeted intervention inhibited the proliferation of HNSC cells. SEC61G, which was positively correlated with NUTF2, was decreased in HNSC cells with NUTF2 suppression. Conclusions: NUTF2 may be correlated with the prognosis and development of HNSC, laying the foundation for future studies on the potential role of NUTF2 in HNSC.Keywords
