Abstract

The concept of adenoma-to-cancer transformation in human colorectal cancer (CRC) is widely accepted. However, the relationship between transcriptome features and adenoma to carcinoma transformation in canines is not clear. We collected transcriptome data from 8 normal colon tissues, 4 adenoma tissues, and 15 cancer tissues. Differential analysis was unable to determine the dynamic changes of genes but revealed that PFKFB3 may play a key role in this process. Enrichment analysis explained metabolic dysregulation, immunosuppression, and typical cancer pathways in canine colorectal tumors. MFuzz generated specific dynamic expression patterns of five differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Weighted correlation network analysis showed that DEGs in cluster 3 were associated with malignant tissues, revealing the key role of inflammatory and immune pathways in canine CRC, and the S100A protein family was also found to be involved in the malignant transformation of canine colorectal tumors. By comparing strategies between humans and dogs, we found five novel markers that may be drivers of CRC. Among them, GTBP4 showed excellent diagnostic and prognostic ability. This study was the first systematic exploration of transformation in canine CRC, complemented the molecular characteristics of the development and progression of canine CRC, and provided new potential biomarkers and comparative oncologic evidence for biomarker studies in human colorectal cancer.
