“…High-risk genes in the model, including GPX3, AKR1C4, SPHK1and ADCY5, have been reported to promote hypermethylation, rare mutations, cancer progression, poor prognosis, and the developmental process of malignant cells in CRC patient samples or cell lines ( Gylfe et al, 2013 ; Kawamori et al, 2009 ; Liang et al, 2013 ; Pan et al, 2019 ; Zhou et al, 2019 ). SPHK1 promotes the phosphorylation and activation of p65, thus promoting the occurrence of CRC ( Shen et al, 2019b ). The expressions of NAT2, ADCY5, SPHK1, GPX3, and risk score were significantly correlated with the clinicopathological features of CRC, and the risk score was closely correlated with the malignant clinicopathological characteristics of CRC and is an independent prognostic factor.…”
