Abstract: The loss of the Y chromosome (LOY) and the extreme down-regulation of Y chromosome gene expression (EDY) are frequently observed in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, their roles in oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) are unclear.A comprehensive bioinformatic analysis was performed using publicly available datasets from chemically induced mouse OSCC models and human cohorts. The analysis included LOY/EDY detection, gene set variation analysis (GSVA), PROGENy pathway profiling, cell-to-cell communication inference, and epigenetic correlation studies.LOY was prevalent among men with OPMD, and EDY was identified in both mouse models and human OPMDs. The presence of LOY/EDY was associated with a higher risk of OPMD progression to OSCC. Single-cell analysis revealed that EDY-positive epithelial cells exhibited elevated oncogenic pathway activity and enhanced IL17-IL17RC signaling, possibly due to the loss of KDM5D in epithelial cells and altered epigenetic regulation.LOY/EDY can be detected in OPMD and promotes malignant progression by altering oncogenic signaling and epithelial cell interactions. LOY/EDY may serve as both a diagnostic biomarker and a therapeutic target, improving clinical management and patient outcomes.
