Abstract:
Objective To establish a scoring model for predicting the prognosis and drug sensitivity of colorectal cancer(CRC)based on the expression of disulfidptosis-related genes by bioinformatics analyses combined with the validation with CRC patient-derived organoids(CRC-PDOs).Methods NMF(non-negative Matrix Factorization)algorithm,Cox and LASSO regression analyses were used to identify disulfidptosis-related genes with predictive value for CRC prognosis,and disulfidptosis-related risk scoring formula was constructed.The differential genes and enrichment pathways among different clusters were analyzed by GO(Gene Ontology)and KEGG(Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes).The sensitivity of the high/low-risk clusters of CRC patients to chemotherapy drugs was predicted using the GDSC database and validated using CRC-PDOs.Results The results of NMF algorithm showed that CRC patients could be grouped into two clusters based on the disulfidptosis-related genes.COX regression analysis demonstrated that LRPPRC and SLC7A11 were the only two genes with significance to predict the prognosis of CRC patients(P=0.047,0.033).Low expression of SLC7A11 or high expression of LRPPRC in tumors of CRC patients was significantly correlated with overall survival(OS)(P=0.004,0.003).Based on LASSO regression analysis,the mortality risk scoring formula for disulfidptosis was as follows:Risk score=LRPPRC×(-0.670 5)+SLC7A11×0.311 2,and the GSE161158 dataset could be re-grouped into high-risk and low-risk clusters accordingly.There were 125 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)between the two clusters.According to the GO and KEGG results,the up-regulated genes in high-risk cluster were mainly enriched in immune regulation,such as leukocyte chemotaxis,granulocyte migration and toll-like receptor binding.Low-risk cluster was characterized by pathways associated with sulfide metabolism,such as sulfur compound transmembrane transporter activity.Based on the GDSC database,the expression level of SLC7A11 and LRPPRC could predict chemotherapy drug sensitivity.As a representative,the efficacy of chemotherapy drug(irinotecan)on inhibiting the growth of CRC-PDOs was shown to be linearly correlated with the relative gene expression levels of SLC7A11 and LRPPRC in CRC tissues of patients(P=0.007,0.040).Conclusion According to the results based on the bioinformatics analyses and drug sensitivity testing on CRC-PDOs,disulfidptosis risk score could predict the prognosis and drug sensitivity of CRC patients,with potential clinical application prospect.
