Abstract Solute carrier family 25 (SLC25) encodes transport proteins at the inner mitochondrial membrane and functions as carriers for metabolites. Although SLC25 genetic variants correlate with human metabolic diseases, their roles in colon cancer remain unknown. Cases of colon cancer were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas, and the transcriptionally differentially expressed members (DEMs) of SLC25 were identified. DNA level alterations, clinicopathological characteristics, and clinical survival were also investigated. A risk score model based on the DEMs was constructed to further evaluate their prognostic values in a clinical setting. The results were preliminarily validated using bioinformatic analysis of datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus, immunohistochemical evaluations in clinical specimens, and functional experiments in colon cancer-derived cell lines. Thirty-seven DEMs were identified among 53 members of SLC25. Eight of 37 DEMs were introduced into a risk score model using integrated LASSO regression and multivariate Cox regression. Validated by GSE395282 and GSE175356, DEMs with high-risk scores were associated with the phenotypes of increasing tumor immune infiltration and decreasing glycolysis and apoptosis contents. SLC25A5 was downregulated in cancer, and its upregulation was related to better overall survival in patients from public datasets and in clinical cases. High SLC25A5 expression was an independent prognostic factor for 79 patients after surgical treatment. A negative correlation between CD8 and SLC25A5 was determined in specimens from 106 patients with advanced colon cancer. SLC25A5 attenuated cell proliferation, upregulated the expression of programmed cell death-related signatures, and exerted its biological function by inhibiting the MAPK signaling pathway. Our study reveals that mitochondrial SLC25 has prognostic value in patients with colon cancer. The bioinformatic analyses by following verification in situ and in vitro provide direction for further functional and mechanistic studies on the identified member of SLC25. |
