AbstractBackground: Tongue squamous cell carcinoma is one of the prominent cancers in the oral cavity. Molecular investigations based on interaction analysis can be promising towards providing a better resolution of malignant neoplasms. Here, the protein-protein interaction network of tongue cancer is studied. Methods: The protein-protein interaction network was constructed by the application of Cytoscape 3.5.1 and the related algorithms. Centrality analysis via the degree, betweenness, and closeness centralities was conducted. Results: The result indicated that there are seven chief proteins in the network foundation. Moreover, enrichment evaluation suggested two associated biological processes including Response to UV-A, Response to interlukin-7, cellular response to alcohol, and catenin import into nucleus process using CluePedia. Conclusions: It can be concluded that the identified central panel proteins and their related biological processes can shed light on the neoplasm mechanisms and are worth pursuing for clinical approaches.en
