Colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with microsatellite‐stable (MSS) tumors are mostly treated chemotherapy. Clinical benefits of targeted therapies depend on mutational states and tumor location. Many carry mutations in KRAS proto‐oncogene, GTPase ( ) or B‐Raf serine/threonine kinase BRAF ), rendering them more resistant to therapies. We performed whole‐exome sequencing RNA‐Sequencing 28 the Athens Comprehensive Cancer Center CRC cohort, molecularly characterized based their microsatellite instability (MSI) status, single‐nucleotide variations (SNVs)/copy number alterations (CNAs), pathway/transcription factor activities at individual patient level. Variants were classified using a computational score for integrative variant annotation prioritization. Complementing this public multi‐omics datasets, we identified activation transforming growth beta (TGFβ) signaling be strongly activated MSS patients, whereas Janus (JAK)–signal transducer activator transcription (STAT) mitogen‐activated protein (MAPK) molecular cascades specifically MSI tumors. unraveled mechanisms consistently perturbed transcriptional circuits Runt‐related factors (RUNX factors) as putative biomarkers CRC, given role regulation pathways involved progression immune evasion. Assessing immunogenicity context RAS/RAF MSI/MSS status revealed critical impact that have immunogenicity, particularly subgroup, implications diagnosis treatment.

Background: The pathogenic genes of colorectal cancer (CRC) have not yet been fully elucidated, and there is currently a lack effective therapeutic targets. This study used bioinformatics methods to explore experimentally validate the most valuable biomarkers for further investigate their potential as Methods: We analyzed differentially expressed (DEGs) based on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset screened out hub genes. ROC curve univariate Cox analysis Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) revealed diagnostically prognostically Immunohistochemistry (IHC) experiments were then conducted expression level these selected in cancer. set enrichment (GSEA) was performed evaluate enriched signaling pathways associated with gene. Using CIBERSORT algorithm R software, we immune infiltrating cell abundance both high low gene groups examined gene's correlation cells checkpoints. Additionally, drug sensitivity utilizing DepMap database, explored between levels ferroptosis dataset. Results: identified total 159 DEGs, including 7 genes: SPP1, MMP1, CXCL8, CXCL1, TIMP1, MMP3, CXCL10. Further TIMP1 diagnostic prognostic biomarker cancer, IHC verifying its expression. GSEA results showed that group involved many pathways. Analysis TCGA database positive infiltration macrophages (M0, M1, M2) neutrophils, well checkpoint genes, CTLA-4 HAVCR2. Drug analysis, using lines exhibiting elevated more responsive certain drugs, such CC-90003, Pitavastatin, Atuveciclib, CT7001, compared those TIMP1. Furthermore, positively correlated ferroptosis-related GPX4 HSPA5. Conclusion: can be immunological microenvironment, sensitivity, inhibition this disease.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) has become one of the most common tumours with high morbidity, mortality and distinctive evolution mechanism. The neoantigens arising from somatic mutations have considerable treatment targets in management CRC. As cancer-specific aberrant peptides, can trigger robust host immune response exert anti-tumour effects while minimising emergence adverse events commonly associated alternative therapeutic regimens. In this review, we summarised mechanism, generation, identification prognostic significance neoantigens, as well strategies challenges neoantigen-based therapy evidence suggests that establishment personalised holds great promise an effective approach for patients
