Chronic infections with oncogenic viruses, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) and hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) viruses, cause various types of neoplasms including cervical (CESC), head and neck (HNSCC), and liver (LIHC) cancers. Glutaminolysis is a process regulated by glutaminase 1 and 2 (GLS1/GLS2), which are altered in HNSCC and LIHC, but their status is unknown in CESC. The aim of this thesis is to determine whether altered GLS1/GLS2 gene expression varies with HPV, HBV, and HCV infection status, and whether expression and infection status are associated with prognosis in CESC, HNSCC and LIHC. For this purpose, we analyzed genomic, transcriptomic and metadata data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). GLS1 and GLS2 expression was determined in CESC, HNSCC and LIHC cohorts by calculating Log2FC and applying Welch's t-test and one-way ANOVA. Finally, we used Kaplan-Meier (KM) plots to investigate the association of genomic and clinical data with the overall survival (OS). We found that GLS2 is under-expressed in LIHC-HBV/HCV(+) compared with non-tumorous samples infected with HBV/HCV(+). Likewise, GLS2 expression was associated with OS in CESC patients. In conclusion, glutaminase expression is abnormal in CESC, HNSCC and LIHC tissues, and in turn, depends on viral infection status. As GLS2 expression and viral infection affect OS in the analyzed tumors, this thesis shows glutaminases as candidate prognostic markers for CESC, HNSCC and LIHC, which could be validated in future studies.
