Popis: Abstract Head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSC) poses a significant public health challenge due to its substantial morbidity. Nevertheless, despite advances in current treatments, the prognosis for HNSC remains unsatisfactory. To address this, single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and bulk RNA-seq data combined with in vitro studies were conducted to examine the role of MYO5A (Myosin VA) in HNSC. Our investigation revealed an overexpression of MYO5A in HNSC that promotes HNSC migration in vitro. Remarkably, knockdown of MYO5A suppressed vimentin expression. Furthermore, analyzing the TCGA database evidenced that MYO5A is a risk factor for human papillomavirus positive (HPV+) HNSC (HR = 0.81, P
