six OC potential genes related to lipid metabolism were identified and verified, which can be used as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets to evaluate the prognostic risk of OC patients. In addition, three small-molecular drugs that may be effective in the treatment of OC were unearthed, among which Cephaeline has the most potential. We speculate that Cephaeline may target six genes to inhibit progression of OC by affecting lipid metabolism.

The antitumor efficacy of CHK1 inhibitors (PF477736, AZD7762, LY2606368) and PI3K inhibitors (BYL719, GDC0941, GSK1059615) was investigated in OSCC cell lines and PDX models. Furthermore, compared with monotherapy, cotreatment with CHK1 and PI3K inhibitors exerted synergistic anticancer effects by suppressing CHK1, AKT, and 4E-BP1 phosphorylation. In summary, our study identified CHK1 and PI3K as promising targets, especially in a dual treatment strategy combining a CHK1 inhibitor with cisplatin or a PI3K inhibitor as a novel therapeutic approach for OSCC patients with aberrant cell cycle regulation and PI3K signaling activation.

GSK1059615 does not significantly modulate lactate secretion and glucose uptake in both cell lines. Glucose restriction contribute to the reduction of the Warburg effect through mTOR inhibition and regulation of PKM2 kinases.
