Abstract
Obesity contributes to the incidence of various tumors, including colon cancer. However, the impact of obesity on patients' survival and related mechanisms remains unclear. Multi-omics data of 227 cases of colon cancer patients combined with clinical characteristics data were acquired from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. We confirmed obesity as an independent prognostic factor for improved overall survival of colon cancer patients. We demonstrated that hypoxia pathways were repressed in obese patients by regulating miR-210. Immune checkpoints PD-1 and LAG3 were also downregulated in obese patients, which indicated enhanced immune surveillance. The frequency of PIK3CA and KRAS mutations was decreased in obese patients. The sites and types of TP53 mutation were alternated in obesity patients. In conclusion, our research demonstrated the potential mechanisms of prolonged survival in colon cancer patients combined with obesity, which may provide potential value for improving the prognosis of colon cancer.Entities:
