Identification of a Six-Gene Signature Predicting Overall Survival for Oxaliplatin and 5-Fluorouracil Resistant Colon Cancer and Potential Drug-Repurposing
Abstract:Background: Oxaliplatin (L-OHP) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) resistance in colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major medical problem. Therefore, detailed mechanisms and predictive markers are urgently needed. The aim of this study was to identify key pathways, a robust prognostic gene signature and potential drug-repurposing. Methods: In order to confirm the predictive markers and detailed molecular mechanisms of L-OHP and 5-Fu chemoresistant CRC, we performed weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA), an unsupervis… Show more
