The Senescence-SASP Landscape in Colon Adenocarcinoma: Prognostic and Therapeutic Implications.

ABSTRACT: Cellular senescence, characterized by permanent cell cycle arrest, significantly influences cancer development, immune regulation, and progression. However, the precise mechanisms by which senescence contributes to colorectal cancer prognosis remain to be fully elucidated. By integrating expression profiles of senescence-related and prognostic genes in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) patients, we formulated and confirmed a nine-gene cellular senescence-related signature (CSRS) that integrates senescence-associated and prognosis-predictive genes using data from the CellAge, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). A cell senescence-related prognostic formula was developed as follows: CSRS = (CASP2 × 0.2098) + (CDKN2A × 0.1196) + (FOXD1 × 0.1472) + (ING5 × 0.3723) + (OXT
