Integrated analysis reveals a novel 5-fluorouracil resistance-based prognostic signature with promising implications for predicting the efficacy of chemotherapy and immunotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer

Background: 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) has been used as a standard first-line treatment for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Although 5-FU-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) have achieved success in treating CRC, drug resistance and low response rates remain substantial limitations....

description Background: 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) has been used as a standard first-line treatment for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Although 5-FU-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) have achieved success in treating CRC, drug resistance and low response rates remain substantial limitations. Thus, it is necessary to construct a 5-FU resistance-related signature (5-FRSig) to predict patient prognosis and identify ideal patients for chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Methods: Using bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data, we established and validated a novel 5-FRSig model using stepwise regression and multiple CRC cohorts and evaluated its associations with the prognosis, clinical features, immune status, immunotherapy, neoadjuvant therapy, and drug sensitivity of CRC patients through various bioinformatics algorithms. Unsupervised consensus clustering was performed to categorize the 5-FU resistance-related molecular subtypes of CRC. The expression levels of 5-FRSig, immune checkpoints, and immunoregulators were determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT‒qPCR). Potential small-molecule agents were identified via Connectivity Map (CMap) and molecular docking. Results: The 5-FRSig and cluster were confirmed as independent prognostic factors in CRC, as patients in the low-risk group and Cluster 1 had a better prognosis. Notably, 5-FRSig was significantly associated with 5-FU sensitivity, chemotherapy response, immune cell infiltration, immunoreactivity phenotype, immunotherapy efficiency, and drug selection. We predicted 10 potential compounds that bind to the core targets of 5-FRSig with the highest affinity. Conclusion: We developed a valid 5-FRSig to predict the prognosis, chemotherapeutic response, and immune status of CRC patients, thus optimizing the therapeutic benefits of chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy, which can facilitate the development of personalized treatments and novel molecular targeted therapies for patients with CRC.
