The expression pattern and clinical significance of Siglec-15 (Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin 15) in LSCC are poorly understood. In order to lay the groundwork for future immune-related research on Siglec-15 in LSCC, we set out to study its expression and prognostic importance in the disease, as well as to use bioinformatics to investigate the immune features modulated by Siglec-15 in LSCC.\nMethods: ① In order to get the gene expression profile and clinical data for TCGA head and neck cancer (TCGA-HNSC), you may access the relevant data from UCSC xena and use 110 cases of laryngeal cancer as a training set. Two datasets, GSE27020 and GSE25727, were obtained from the GEO databank and utilized as validation sets. These datasets include expression profiles and clinical information. The Siglec-15 gene and immune characteristics were analyzed by bioinformatics methods. ② Retrospectively collected routine paraffin specimens from patients with pathological diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma from December 2012 to November 2015 in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital and fresh frozen tissue of patients from June 2021 to March 2022. Immunohistochemistry method, immunofluorescence technique and real-time quantitative PCR was used to examine the difference of Siglec-15 appearance in LSCC tissue and adjacent tissue, and its correlation of prognosis, clinic pathological characteristics and CD8+T lymphocyte infiltration. Using human laryngeal cancer cell line (LCC), we studied the influence of Siglec-15 in cell proliferation and invasion.\nResults: We identified Siglec-15 was upregulated in LSCC. The patients in Siglec-15 high expression group had a poor overall survival (OS) based on the clinical information from TGCA and 111 LSCC patients that hospitalized in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital. The COX regression analysis indicated Siglec-15 as an independent predictor for poor prognosis of LSCC. Bioinformatic analysis suggested that the high expression of Siglec-15 shape an immune suppressive tumor microenvironment (TEM), leading to poor response to immunotherapy in LSCC. Siglec-15 enhanced cell invasion and proliferation, as we showed in vitro.\nConclusion: Our study support Siglec-15 as a potential predictor for LSCC prognosis and an attractive target for LSCC immunotherapy.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "Kaplan-Meier estimator was utilized to build the persistence function of each group.
