%X The morbidity of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has been rising year after year, making it a major global health issue. But the molecular pathogenesis of OSCC is currently unclear. To study the potential pathogenesis of OSCC, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened, and multiple databases were used to perform the tumor stage, expression, prognosis, protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, modules, and the functional enrichment analysis. Moreover, we have identified SP110 as the key candidate gene and conducted various analyses on it using multiple databases. The research indicated that there were 211 common DEGs, and they were enriched in various GO terms and pathways. Meanwhile, one DEG is significantly related to short disease-free survival, four are associated with overall survival, and 12 DEGs have close ties with tumor staging. Additionally, the SP110 is significantly associated with methylation level, HPV status, tumor staging, gender, race, tumor grade, age, and overall/disease-free survival of oral cancer patients, as well as the immune process. The copy number variation of SP110 significantly affected the abundance of immune infiltration. Therefore, we speculate that SP110 could be used as the diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker for OSCC, and can help to further understand oral carcinogenesis.
