The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) during TSCC and reveal their potential mechanisms. MATERIAL AND METHODS The gene expression proﬁles of GSE13601 were downloaded from the GEO database. The GSE13601 dataset contains 57 samples, including 31 tongue SCC samples and 26 matched normal mucosa samples. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed; Cytoscape software was used for the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and module analysis of the DEGs. RESULTS We identified a total of 1,050 upregulated DEGs (uDEGs) and 702 downregulated DEGs (dDEGs) of TSCC. The GO analysis results showed that uDEGs were signiﬁcantly enriched in the following biological processes (BP): signal transduction, positive or negative regulation of cell proliferation, and negative regulation of cell proliferation. The dDEGs were signiﬁcantly enriched in the following biological processes: signal transduction, cell adhesion, and apoptotic process. The KEGG pathway analysis showed that uDEGs were enriched in metabolic pathways, pathways in cancer, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, while the dDEGs were enriched in focal adhesion and ECM-receptor interaction. The top centrality hub genes RAC1, APP, EGFR, KNG1, AGT, and HRAS were identiﬁed from the PPI network. Module analysis revealed that TSCC was associated with signiﬁcant pathways, including neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, calcium signaling pathway, and chemokine signaling pathway.
