Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a frequent, worldwide tumor described for its huge complexity, including inter-/intra-heterogeneity and microenvironment (TME) variability. Intra-tumor heterogeneity connections with metabolic reprogramming epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were investigated explorative shotgun proteomics complemented by Random Forest (RF) machine-learning approach. Deep superficial regions distant-site non-tumor samples from the same patients (n = 16) analyzed. Among 2009 proteins analyzed, 91 proteins, 23 novel potential CRC hallmarks, showed significant quantitative changes. In addition, 98.4% accurate classification of three analyzed tissues was obtained RF using set 21 proteins. Subunit E1 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH-E1) best classifying factor region, while sorting nexin-18 coatomer-beta protein (beta-COP), implicated in trafficking, classified deep region. Down- up-regulations checkpoints involved different tumors. Analogously to immune affecting TME, cytoskeleton extracellular matrix (ECM) dynamics crucial EMT.
