The aim of this research was to associate the gene expression and methylation of promoters of glucose catabolism regulatory genes with the prognosis of CRC in obese individuals. The study population was composed by 301 CRC patients of the TCGA-COADREAD (The Cancer Genome Atlas Colon and Rectum Adenocarcinoma) project whose clinical, genomic, and epigenomic data were available in online resources. Patients were classified by body mass index (BMI) according to the WHO guidelines. Multiple linear regression was used to estimate the relationship between gene expression and promoter methylation status with BMI. Logistic regression models were used to estimate a correlation between gene expression and promoter methylation status with response to primary anticancer treatment. Kaplan Meier (K-M) plots were used to determine the association between the gene promoter methylation and overall survival (OS). Mean BMI was 25.2 kg/m2 (± 3.8) and, the prevalence of obesity was 29% in the TCGA-COADREAD cohort. Under-expression of ACO2, PGAM1, and TPI1 genes, and over-expression of GCK were found with an increase in BMI. Also, hypermethylation of the ACO2 (OR: 3.62e-57, CI 3.2e-112 – 0.04) and PGAM1 (OR: 1.75e-22, CI 0.04 – 3.8) promoters decreases the probability of complete remission in CRC patients. Only two genes (HKDC1 and OGDHL) resulted differentially methylated between obese and non-obese CRC patients, but their expression was not associated with OS (p>0.05). Changes in promoter expression and methylation in a group of obesity-influenced glucose catabolism regulatory genes are associated with and have potential impact repercussions overall survival and disease remission in patients with CRC. Future research should validate the findings of this thesis and determine whether the proposed group of genes are candidates for prognostic markers of CRC.
