To characterize the mechanisms that govern chemoresistance, we performed a comparative proteomic study analyzing head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells: CCL-138 (parental), CCL-138-R (cisplatin-resistant), and cancer stem cells (CSCs). Syntenin-1 (SDCBP) was upregulated in CCL-138-R cells and CSCs over parental cells. SDCBP depletion sensitized biopsy-derived and established HNSCC cell lines to cisplatin (CDDP) and reduced CSC markers, Src activation being the main SDCBP downstream target. In mice, SDCBP-depleted cells formed tumors with decreased mitosis, Ki-67 positivity, and metastasis over controls. Moreover, the fusocellular pattern of CCL-138-R cell-derived tumors reverted to a more epithelial morphology upon SDCBP silencing. Importantly, SDCBP expression was associated with Src activation, poor differentiated tumor grade, advanced tumor stage, and shorter survival rates in a series of 382 HNSCC patients. Our results reveal that SDCBP might be a promising therapeutic target for effectively eliminating CSCs and CDDP resistance.

39 Background: The expression of PD-L1 expression is important for tumor cells to evade the immune system. The level of its expression and its correlation to disease prognosis is unclear in non-oropharyngeal head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (non-OPHNSCC). Methods: A retrospective clinicopathologic analysis was performed for 106 non-OPHNSCC patients diagnosed during the period from 2007 to 2014. We made tissue arrays from the paraffin-embedded non-OPHNSCC samples obtained from the patients, and studied PD-L1 and p16INK4A expression by immunohistochemistry. Systemic inflammatory factors including C-reactive protein, serum white blood cell, neutrophil, monocyte, and lymphocyte count were also analyzed to study the correlation. Results: We found that PD-L1 was overexpressed in 32.1% (34/106) and p16INK4A in 20.8% (22/106) of the patients who were studied. The expression of PD-L1 was associated with p16INK4A expression ( p < 0.01), but was not associated with the level of systemic inflammatory factors. No significant prognostic values of PD-L1, p16INK4A, or other clinicopathologic factors were found except tumor stage (stage I/II vs. III/IV, p=0.03). Conclusions: This study demonstrates the correlation between PD-L1 and p16INK4A in non-OPHNSCC, which may provide important information for designing the clinical trials of anti-PD1/PDL1 treatment in head and neck cancer patients.
