- Cuproptosis, a form of copper-mediated programmed cell death, has recently garnered significant attention. However, the mechanisms by which CRGs affect the progression of CRC remain unclear. Bioinformatics approaches were employed to analyze transcriptomic datasets and clinical data from 630 CRC patients, focusing on copy number variations, prognostic implications, and immune infiltration characteristics associated with CRGs. Key CRG-related genes impacting prognosis were identified using LASSO and Cox regression methods. A prognostic model incorporating various molecular markers and clinical parameters was constructed with a training cohort and validated with a separate validation cohort. This model was used to explore clinical indicators, immune infiltration, and tumor microenvironment characteristics in CRC patients. Additionally, single-cell analysis was performed to investigate the biological roles of critical genes, and expression patterns of these genes were assessed via qRT-PCR and WB. A prognostic scoring model was established based on three pivotal genes associated with CRC prognosis. This model, an independent prognostic indicator, outperformed traditional clinicopathological features in predicting patient outcomes. Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated superior prognostic outcomes for individuals in the low-risk group compared to those in the high-risk group. Model stability and reliability were confirmed through ROC analysis and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Further analysis revealed significant correlations between prognostic scores and the presence of M0 macrophages and memory CD4 T cells. Differences in the expression of CDKN2A, PLCB4, and NXPE4 across various CRC tissues and cells were characterized using WB, IHC and qRT-PCR. This study not only highlights the diverse omics profiles of CRGs in CRC but also introduces a novel model for accurate prognostic forecasting. - Source: PubMed

Jiang TaoWang ZijingSun ZhanyuanLv HengyiLi GuoLi Hai - Owing to the high morbidity and mortality, novel biomarkers in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer (CRC) are needed nowadays. In this study, the CRC-related datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. After screening the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in R software, a total of 238 upregulated and 199 downregulated DEGs were revealed simultaneously. Then the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression analysis were used to reveal the prognostic function of these DEGs. Neurexophilin and PC-esterase domain family member 4 (NXPE4) and prostate androgen-regulated mucin-like protein 1 (PARM1) were two outstanding independent overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) prognostic genes of CRC in TCGA database. We next verified the expression of NXPE4 and PARM1 messenger RNA (mRNA) levels were significantly lower in CRC tumor tissue than in the adjacent noncancerous tissue in our clinical samples, and NXPE4 mRNA expression level was related to the tumor location and tumor size, while PARM1 was related to tumor location, lymph nodes metastasis, and tumor size. This study demonstrated that NXPE4 and PARM1 might be two potential novel prognostic biomarkers for CRC. - Source: PubMed

Liu Ya-RuiHu YangZeng YingLi Zhi-XingZhang Hai-BoDeng Jun-LiWang Guo - Cytoglobin (Cygb) is a member of the hemoglobin family and is thought to protect against cellular hypoxia and oxidative stress. These functions may be particularly important in inflammation-induced cancer, e.g., in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). In this study, we investigated the development of inflammation and tumors in a murine model of inflammation-induced colorectal cancer using a combined treatment of azoxymethane and dextran sulfate sodium. A bioinformatics analysis of genome-wide expression data revealed increased colonic inflammation at the molecular level accompanied by enhanced macroscopic tumor development in Cygb-deficient mice. Moreover, the expression of the UC-associated gene neurexophilin and PC-esterase domain family member 4 (Nxpe4) depended on the presence of Cygb in the inflamed colonic mucosa. Compared to wild type mice, RT-qPCR confirmed a 14-fold (p = 0.0003) decrease in Nxpe4 expression in the inflamed colonic mucosa from Cygb-deficient mice. An analysis of Cygb protein expression suggested that Cygb is expressed in fibroblast-like cells surrounding the colonic crypts. Histological examinations of early induced lesions suggested that the effect of Cygb is primarily at the level of tumor promotion. In conclusion, in this model, Cygb primarily seemed to inhibit the development of established microadenomas. - Source: PubMed
