Integrative genomic analysis of DNP in hHNSCC: pathway enrichment, PPI networks, and prognostic CYP19A1/CYP2D6 modulation with intervention validation. (A) There are 18 genes that overlap between DNP target genes and significantly differentially expressed genes in hHNSCC; (B) KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of the 18 genes; (C) PPI network diagram based on the degree algorithm; (D) Forest plot of the 18 genes, showing that only CYP19A1 is a significant risk factor for the occurrence of hHNSCC, whereas CYP2D6 is a significant protective factor; (E) and (F) Survival analysis of CYP19A1 and CYP2D6 in hHNSCC; (G) PCR validation was performed in the nasopharyngeal tissues of the DNP and control groups. CYP19A1 was significantly increased after DNP intervention, whereas CYP2D6 was significantly decreased. (H) The expression levels of CYP19A1 and CYP2D6 were validated in several major tissues in the control group. Error bars represent mean ± SD; n = 5 (Control), n = 8 (DNP)
