Popis: Abstract Detecting microsatellite instability (MSI) in colorectal cancers (CRCs) is essential because it is the determinant of treatment strategies, including immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Yet, no attempt has been made to exploit transcriptomic profile and tumor microenvironment (TME) of it to unveil MSI status in CRC. Hence, we developed a novel TME-aware, single-transcriptome predictor of MSI for CRC, called MAP (Microsatellite instability Absolute single sample Predictor). MAP was developed utilizing recursive feature elimination-random forest with 466 CRC samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas, and its performance was validated in independent cohorts, including 1118 samples. MAP showed robustness and predictive power in predicting MSI status in CRC. Additional advantages for MAP were demonstrated through comparative analysis with existing MSI classifier and other cancer types. Our novel approach will provide access to untouched vast amounts of publicly available transcriptomic data and widen the door for MSI CRC research and be useful for gaining insights to help with translational medicine.
