Single-cell profiling of the expression of MUC1 and related genes in HNSCC. A–C, UMAP representation of total cells analyzed from the GSE118389 dataset of HPV-negative/HPV-positive HNSCC samples (A), GSE118389 dataset of HPV-negative samples (B), and GSE118389 dataset of HPV-positive samples (C) (left). Distributions of MUC1 expression in individual cells (middle). MUC1 expression in individual cells in each cell type (right). D, Model depicting the current findings that MUC1-C integrates activation of STAT1, IFN type I/II signaling and ISG expression with regulation of ∆Np63, SOX2, and NOTCH3 in driving the HNSCC CSC state that promotes DNA damage resistance and immune evasion.
