Abstract

Aberrant expression of DNA repair genes (DRGs) can be related to tumor progression and clinical outcomes in colon cancer. Here, we aimed to establish a DRGs signature to identify the vital prognostic DRGs in colon cancer. Firstly, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to demonstrate the association between abnormal expression level of DRGs and tumorigenesis. Then, a total of 476 DRGs were obtained for detecting candidate biomarkers in randomly selected 295 cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) colon cancer cohort. Eleven genes were screened by LASSO Cox regression analyses to develop the prognostic model. Then, the prognostic model and the expression levels of the eleven genes were validated using the internal validation dataset (the rest 125 cases in TCGA cohort) and an external validation dataset (obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus dataset). Further analysis revealed the independent prognostic capacity of the prognostic model in relation to other clinical characteristics. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis confirmed the good performance of the prognostic model. Furthermore, we provided a nomogram for interpreting the clinical application of the 11-DRG signature. In conclusion, we propose a newly developed 11-DRG signature as a practical prognostic predictor for patients with colon cancer, which can facilitate the individualized counselling and treatment.
