Abstrakt: The homing of M1 and M2 macrophages may play distinct roles in the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, these roles of macrophages in the TME remain unclear. We downloaded RNA sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database for patients with CRC. Subsequently, Kaplan-Meier survival curves were generated to assess the differential infiltration of M1 and M2 macrophages based on CRC location. Differentially expressed gene (DEG) and functional analyses were performed to screen the roles of DEGs. Critical prognostic genes were identified using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression. The risk scores were calculated for each patient. In patients with right-sided CRC, reduced M1 macrophage infiltration was associated with poor prognosis. M1 macrophage infiltration positively correlated with CD8+ T cell infiltration. A risk model was developed and validated for performance using GSE103479 and GSE72970. Nine genes were identified as independent prognostic genes that could be potential biomarkers for effectively predicting survival in patients with right-sided CRC. Kaplan-Meier curves for overall survival and progression-free survival analyses revealed that the high-risk group of patients with right-sided CRC had a poor prognosis. This novel M1 macrophage-related risk model may provide a gene signature for predicting the survival outcomes of patients with right-sided CRC and facilitate further studies examining the relationship between infiltration of M1 macrophages and the prognosis of such patients.
