Oxidative Phosphorylation as a Predictive Biomarker of Oxaliplatin Response in Colorectal Cancer

Oxaliplatin is successfully used on advanced colorectal cancer to eradicate micro-metastasis, whereas its benefits in the early stages of colorectal cancer remains controversial since approximately 30% of patients experience unexpected relapses.

Sumario:Oxaliplatin is successfully used on advanced colorectal cancer to eradicate micro-metastasis, whereas its benefits in the early stages of colorectal cancer remains controversial since approximately 30% of patients experience unexpected relapses. Herein, we evaluate the efficacy of oxidative phosphorylation as a predictive biomarker of oxaliplatin response in colorectal cancer. We found that non-responding patients exhibit low oxidative phosphorylation activity, suggesting a poor prognosis. To reach this conclusion, we analyzed patient samples of individuals treated with oxaliplatin from the GSE83129 dataset, and a set of datasets validated using ROCplotter, selecting them based on their response to the drug. By analyzing multiple oxaliplatin-resistant and -sensitive cell lines, we identified oxidative phosphorylation KEGG pathways as a valuable predictive biomarker of oxaliplatin response with a high area under the curve (AUC = 0.843). Additionally, some oxidative phosphorylation-related biomarkers were validated in primary- and metastatic-derived tumorspheres, confirming the results obtained in silico. The low expression of these biomarkers is clinically relevant, indicating poor prognosis with decreased overall and relapse-free survival. This study proposes using oxidative phosphorylation-related protein expression levels as a predictor of responses to oxaliplatin-based treatments to prevent relapse and enable a more personalized therapy approach. Our results underscore the value of oxidative phosphorylation as a reliable marker for predicting the response to oxaliplatin treatment in colorectal cancer.
