Abstract:Objective To explore the correlation between TIMP1 gene expression and prognosis and immune invasion of colorectal cancer. Methods RNA expression data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were used to analyze the correlation between the expression level of TIMP1 gene and clinicopathologic features of colorectal cancer patients, and to analyze the expression of TIMP1 in colorectal cancer tumors and normal tissues. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression were used to analyze the correlation between TIMP1 and prognosis. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) were used to study the enrichment pathway and function of TIMP1, and association analysis of immune cell infiltration was performed. Results TIMP1 was highly expressed in colorectal cancer and was associated with poor prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer. ECM pathway, MAPK pathway and immune-related pathway might be key pathways for TIMP1 regulation. Meanwhile, the expression of TIMP1 in colorectal cancer was related to the level of immune invasion. Conclusion TIMP1 can be a potential therapeutic target and prognostic biomarker for colorectal cancer.
