Article Abstract

Background: Angiogenesis plays an important role in colon cancer (CC) progression.

Aim: To investigate the tumor microenvironment (TME) and intratumor microbes of angiogenesis subtypes (AGSs) and explore potential targets for antiangiogenic therapy in CC.

Methods: The data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas database and Gene Expression Omnibus database. K-means clustering was used to construct the AGSs. The prognostic model was constructed based on the differential genes between two subtypes. Single-cell analysis was used to analyze the expression level of on different cells in CC, which was validated by immunofluorescence. Its biological functions were further explored in HUVECs.

Results: CC samples were grouped into two AGSs (AGS-A and AGS-B) groups and patients in the AGS-B group had poor prognosis. Further analysis revealed that the AGS-B group had high infiltration of TME immune cells, but also exhibited high immune escape. The intratumor microbes were also different between the two subtypes. A convenient 6-gene angiogenesis-related signature (ARS), was established to identify AGSs and predict the prognosis in CC patients. was selected as the representative gene of ARS, which was higher expressed in endothelial cells and promoted the migration of HUVECs.

Conclusion: Our study identified two AGSs with distinct prognoses, TME, and intratumor microbial compositions, which could provide potential explanations for the impact on the prognosis of CC. The reliable ARS model was further constructed, which could guide the personalized treatment. The might be a potential target for antiangiogenic therapy.
