Abstract
AbstractColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent and deadliest illnesses all around the world. Growing proofs demonstrate that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are of critical importance in CRC pathogenesis, but their mechanisms remain yet unknown. The current research was designed to recognize underlying biomarkers associated with TAMs in CRC. We screened macrophage-related gene modules through WGCNA, selected hub genes utilizing the LASSO algorithm and COX regression, and established a model. External validation was performed by expression analysis using datasets GSE14333, GSE74602, and GSE87211. After validating the bioinformatics results using real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR, we identified SPP1, C5AR1, MMP3, TIMP1, ADAM8 as potential biomarkers associated with macrophages in CRC.
