description Background: The low 5-year survival rate of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) suggests that new prognostic indicators need to be identified to aid the clinical management of patients. Methods: Saliva samples from OSCC patients and healthy controls were collected for proteomic and metabolomic sequencing. Gene expressed profiling was downloaded from TCGA and GEO databases. After the differential analysis, proteins with a significant impact on the prognosis of OSCC patients were screened. Correlation analysis was performed with metabolites and core proteins were identified. Cox regression analysis was utilized to stratify OSCC samples based on core proteins. The prognostic predictive ability of the core protein was then evaluated. Differences in infiltration of immune cells between the different strata were identified. Results: There were 678 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), 94 intersected DEPs among them by intersecting with differentially expressed genes in TCGA and GSE30784 dataset. Seven core proteins were identified that significantly affected OSCC patient survival and strongly correlated with differential metabolites (R2 > 0.8). The samples were divided into high- and low-risk groups according to median risk score. The risk score and core proteins were well prognostic factor in OSCC patients. Genes in high-risk group were enriched in Notch signaling pathway, epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), and angiogenesis. Core proteins were strongly associated with the immune status of OSCC patients. Conclusions: The results established a 7-protein signatures with the hope of early detection and the capacity for risk assessment of OSCC patient prognosis. Further providing more potential targets for the treatment of OSCC.
