Abstract
The expression of TTR and apolipoprotein H (APOH) genes and their relationship with prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis by using bioinformatics analysis techniques are explored. The expression profiles of related genes in patients with CRC metastasis are retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The core genes transthyretin (TTR) and APOH are screened by constructing protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and the corresponding patient data of 327 patients are extracted and included in the metastasis group. The TTR and APOH genes of 300 patients without CRC metastasis are screened and included in the control group. The relationship between the expression levels of TTR and APOH and the clinicopathological parameters of patients with CRC metastasis is analyzed. Kaplan-Meier survival curve is drawn to observe the influence of overexpression and low expression of TTR and APOH on the prognosis and survival of patients in the metastatic group. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is drawn to observe the prognostic efficacy of combined TTR and APOH detection in patients with CRC metastasis. The experimental results show that bioassay can confirm the close relationship between TTR, APOH, and patients with CRC metastasis. Regular detection of serum TTR and APOH expression can effectively assess the patient's condition and take measures to improve the prognosis of the patients.
