CK2 levels and activity are higher in HPV(+) HNSCC cells compared to HPV(-) HNSCC cells, treatment with CK2 targeting using CX-4945 decreased viability and cisplatin IC50 in all cell lines, and increased tumor suppressor protein levels in most instances. Further study is needed to understand the role of CK2 in HPV(+) and HPV(-) HNSCC and how CX-4945 could improve cisplatin response.
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) can be categorized into human papillomavirus (HPV) positive or negative disease. Elevated protein kinase CK2 level and activity have been historically observed in HNSCC cells. Previous studies on CK2 in HNSCC did not generally include consideration of HPV(+) and HPV(-) status. Here, we investigated the response of HPV(+) and HPV(-) HNSCC cells to CK2 targeting using CX-4945 or siRNA downregulation combined with cisplatin treatment. HNSCC cell lines were examined for CK2 expression levels and activity and response to CX-4945, with and without cisplatin. CK2 levels and NF kappa B p65-related activity were high in HPV(+) HNSCC cells relative to HPV(-) HNSCC cells. Treatment with CX-4945 decreased viability and cisplatin IC50 in all cell lines. Targeting of CK2 increased tumor suppressor protein levels for p21 and PDCD4 in most instances. Further study is needed to understand the role of CK2 in HPV(+) and HPV(-) HNSCC and to determine how incorporation of the CK2-targeted inhibitor CX-4945 could improve cisplatin response in HNSCC.
