[0048] Figure 1: is a flow chart of a method for predicting colorectal cancer provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:

[0049] 101: Obtain expression data of predicted genes of the sample to be tested;

[0050] In some embodiments, the term "subject" or "test subject" or "test sample" used herein refers to any animal (e.g., mammal), including but not limited to humans, non-human primates, rodents, etc., which will be the recipient of a specific treatment. Generally, the terms "subject" and "patient" are used interchangeably herein when referring to human subjects.

[0051] Preferably, the sample to be tested is a human.

[0052] In some embodiments, the sample to be tested is a patient undergoing clinical prognosis assessment.

[0053] In some embodiments, the predicted gene is obtained by taking the intersection of the exosome-derived targeted gene candidate panel and the tissue-derived targeted gene candidate panel;

[0054] Optionally, the exosome-derived targeted gene candidate panel is obtained by the following method:

[0055] Acquire colorectal cancer exosome data; the colorectal cancer exosome data is obtained from an exosome database; the exosome database includes a first exosome database and a second exosome database; the colorectal cancer data includes differential expression data of a first category and a second category in the first exosome database; the differential expression data of the first category and the second category are respectively screened according to a first screening standard to obtain the screened differential expression data of the first category and the second category, and the genes in the screened differential expression data of the first category and the screened differential expression data of the second category are merged to obtain a first exosome candidate target panel; the colorectal cancer data also includes gene expression data of lncRNA and mRNA in the second exosome database; the gene expression data of lncRNA and mRNA are respectively differentially screened according to a second screening standard to obtain the screened gene expression data of lncRNA and mRNA; the genes in the screened gene expression data of lncRNA and the screened gene expression data of mRNA are merged to obtain a third exosome candidate target panel;

[0056] The intersection of the first exosome candidate target panel and the third exosome candidate target panel was taken to obtain the exosome-derived targeted gene candidate panel.

[0057] In some embodiments, the colorectal cancer data further includes: differential expression data of a third category in the first exosome database, the method further includes: screening the differential expression data of the third category according to the first screening standard to obtain the screened differential expression data of the third category, merging the genes in the first exosome candidate target panel and the screened differential expression data of the first category to obtain a second exosome candidate target panel;

[0058] Taking the intersection of the second exosome candidate target panel and the third exosome candidate target panel, we can obtain the exosome-derived targeted gene candidate panel;

[0059] Optionally, the first type is lncRNA;

[0060] Optionally, the second type is mirna;

[0061] Optionally, the third type is mrna;

[0062] Optionally, the first screening criteria for lncRNAs were adj-pvalue < 0.01 and FoldChange > 2;

[0063] Optionally, the first screening criteria for mirna is adj-pvalue < 0.05 and FoldChange > 1;

[0064] Optionally, the first screening criteria for mRNAs were adj-pvalue < 0.01 and FoldChange > 2;

[0065] Optionally, the second screening criteria for lncRNA and mRNA are adj-pvalue<0.01 and FoldChange>2.

[0066] In some embodiments, the predicted genes include: CEMIP (ENSG00000103888);

[0067] Optionally, the predicted genes further include any one or two of ENC1 (ENSG00000171617) and NFE2L3 (ENSG00000050344).

[0068] The first exosome database is the BBCancer database (http: / / bbcancer.renlab.org / ), and the second exosome database is the exoRBase database (http: / / www.exorbase.org / ).

[0069] Specifically, BBCancer database: download lncRNA, mirna, mrna differential expression data, data screening criteria:

[0070] lncRNA: adj-pvalue<0.01 & FoldChange > 2

[0071] mirna: adj-pvalue<0.05 & FoldChange > 1

[0072] mrna: adj-pvalue<0.01 & FoldChange > 2;

[0073] Data operation process: Taking lncRNA data as an example: Use data.table::fread function to read the pre-downloaded differential expression file Colorectal.cancer-EVs.lncRNA.txt, save it as variable bbc.lnc, and perform data combination column screening on variable bbc.lnc, select the following columns: "gene", "FoldChange", "baseMean", "p-value", "adj-pvalue", and add the gene type class column, and fill the content with lncRNA. According to the above lncRNA differential expression gene screening criteria, the adj-pvalue column and FoldChange column are numerically filtered. The same above operations are performed on mirna and mrna. The results obtained from the above lncrna, mirna and mrna are merged using the rbind function to obtain the exosome candidate target panel based on the BBCancer database (the second exosome candidate target panel).

[0074] exoRBase exosome database: Download lncRNA and mrna gene TPM expression data for differential expression analysis. TPM (Transcripts Per Miion) is a unit commonly used in RNA sequencing data analysis, which represents the proportion of a transcript per million reads. TPM value can be used to compare the expression abundance of different genes or different samples, and can standardize the RNA-Seq sequencing depth of samples to eliminate the influence of the sequencing depth of samples on gene expression analysis.

[0075] Specifically, the calculation formula of TPM value is: the number of reads of each gene (Read Count) + the number of species-specific transcripts (Effective Length) ÷ the total number of reads (Total Read Count) x 1,000,000. Among them, Effective Length represents the effective length of each transcript.

[0076] The higher the TPM value of gene expression, the higher the expression level of the gene in the sample. If you want to analyze the expression differences of certain genes in a group of samples, the TPM value is usually used as an indicator of gene expression level:

[0077] The differential expression analysis was performed using the limma module of the R language. The screening criteria for differentially expressed genes were: adj-pvalue<0.01 & FoldChange > 2;

[0078] Data operation process: Taking lncRNA data as an example: Use the read.table function to read the pre-downloaded gene expression files CRC_lncRNA_TPM.txt and Normal_lncRNA_TPM.txt, save them as variables case and normal, use the log2(x+1) function to perform logarithmic transformation on the variables case and normal, use the intersect function to take the intersection of the case and normal variable row names to obtain the common gene features, and cbind to merge the common gene features of the case and normal variables to obtain the variable mat.data. Use the lmFit function of the limma module to perform differential expression analysis on mat.data. The screening criteria are as mentioned above. The data columns of the limma output results are screened, and the following columns are selected: "gene", "FoldChange", "baseMean", "p-value", "adj-pvalue", and the gene type class column is added, and the content is filled with lncrna. Perform the same above operations on mrna. The results obtained from the above lncRNA and mRNA were merged using the rbind function to obtain the exosome candidate target panel based on the exoRBase database (the third exosome candidate target panel).

[0079] For the exosome candidate target panel based on the BBCancer database and the exosome candidate target panel based on the exoRBase database, use the unique function to extract the unique value of the "gene" column in the collection, and save the result as the unique.lm variable. The unique.lm variable can be used as the exosome-derived targeting gene candidate panel.

[0080] In some embodiments, the tissue-derived targeted gene candidate panel is obtained by:

[0081] Obtain colorectal cancer tissue sequencing data from NCBI and SRA;

[0082] The colorectal cancer tissue sequencing data is sequentially subjected to connector processing and quality control processing, and aligned to the human reference genome to obtain an alignment result; the alignment result is subjected to differential expression analysis to obtain the tissue-derived targeted gene candidate panel.

[0083] The specific process is as follows:

[0084] 1. Sample source

[0085] The sequencing data of the PRJEB27536 dataset were downloaded from SRA and the gene expression data of colorectal cancer were downloaded from TCGA. The sample size was normal tissue: polyp tissue: colorectal cancer TNM1: TNM2: TNM3: TNM4=50:21:52:123:89:44.

[0086] 2. Data processing

[0087] The raw data from the SRA database was processed and quality controlled using fastq software, and the clean data was aligned to the human reference gene group using ICGC software, version (GRCh38.d1.vd1), and the bam file was quantified using htseq software.

[0088] Quantitative mode: intersection-nonempty;

[0089] Quantitative standard type: gene_id;

[0090] Chain Specificity: Nonspecific.

[0091] The expression files were merged according to geneID to construct an M*N gene expression matrix. The value of the i-th row and j-th column in the gene expression matrix represents the expression count value of the i-th gene corresponding to the j-th sample, where 1≤i≤M, 1≤j≤N; M represents the number of detected genes, and N represents the number of analyzed samples. The expression matrix was saved as a .Rdata object file.

[0092] The processed count expression matrix and TCGA expression matrix were merged, and the merging standard was gene ID.

[0093] 3. Differential Expression Analysis

[0094] The experiment was divided into the following groups: Group 1: cancer vs normal; Group 2: cancer vs polyps; Group 3: early cancer vs normal (TNM1+TNM2 vs normal); Group 4: late cancer vs normal (TNM4 vs normal).

[0095] According to the experimental grouping design, the differential expression grouping matrix was constructed, and the differential expression analysis was performed using the "deseq2" package in R software. The screening criteria for differential genes were adj.P value<0.05, |log2FC|>1.

[0096] Genes showing significant differences only in group 3 were screened.

[0097] 4. Results

[0098] The analysis results showed that there were 12070 genes with significant differential expression in group 1, 4820 differentially expressed genes were significantly upregulated, and 7250 differentially expressed genes were significantly downregulated; there were 11348 genes with significant differential expression in group 2, 4030 differentially expressed genes were significantly upregulated, and 7318 differentially expressed genes were significantly downregulated; there were 12147 genes with significant differential expression in group 3, 4546 differentially expressed genes were significantly upregulated, and 7601 differentially expressed genes were significantly downregulated; there were 11996 genes with significant differential expression in group 4, 4799 differentially expressed genes were significantly upregulated, and 7197 differentially expressed genes were significantly downregulated.

[0099] Screening for genes that showed significant differences only in group 3 Figure 1 As shown in Table 1 , there are 442 genes in total. Among them, compared with normal controls, EZH2 and TNFRSF10A are upregulated in early colorectal cancer, and CDH17, ALOX12-AS1, AMT, RP11-522B15.3, SPON1, FRZB or HOXA6 are downregulated in early colorectal cancer, and their expression is shown in Table 1 and Figure 2 As shown, FC (fold change) represents the difference between early colorectal cancer and normal, and (log2 expression level) represents the expression level of gene.

[0101]

[0102] In some embodiments, the exosome-derived targeted gene candidate panel and the tissue-derived targeted gene candidate panel are intersected using the intersect function to obtain three candidate genes ENC1 (ENSG00000171617), NFE2L3 (ENSG00000050344), and CEMIP (ENSG00000103888). The three candidate targeted genes only appear in the BBCancer exosome database. The differential expression of the three candidate targeted genes in the BBCancer exosome database is extracted, as shown in the following table:

[0105] In some embodiments, as shown in the attached Figure 4-6 As shown in the figure, the expression of three candidate target genes in tissue sample data was extracted, and the boxplot function was used to perform statistics and visualization of the expression trends of normal tissue, polyp tissue, and cancer TNMI1-TNM4, a total of 6 types. The results showed that the expression levels of the three candidate target genes in cancer tissue were higher than those in normal tissue, and the three candidate target genes could be used as predictors for predicting the risk of colorectal cancer in samples (see Appendix). Figure 4 For ENC1, attached Figure 5 For CEMIP, Figure 6 The threshold is verified by multiple data sets to obtain a specific numerical range.

[0106] In some embodiments, the present application also verifies three candidate genes by using the dataset GSE127069 in the GEO database:

[0107] https: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / geo / query / acc.cgi?acc=GSE127069

[0108] Data operation process: data.table::fread function reads the pre-downloaded GSE127069_series_matrix.txt file and saves it as dataframe variable expr, reads the pre-downloaded chip annotation file GPL17077-17467.txt and saves it as dataframe variable panel, uses panel's "ID", "GENE_SYMBOL" information to annotate expr's ID_REF, and uses aggregate function to aggregate and average the expr of the annotated gene ID. Use R language's limma module lmFit function to perform differential expression analysis between colorectal cancer and normal tissues, and the differential expression gene screening criteria are: adj-pvalue<0.05 & FoldChange > 1. The obtained differentially expressed gene list was compared with the above candidate target genes, and only ENC1 and NFE2L3 genes were verified, with the following results:

[0109]

[0110] In some embodiments, ggboxplot is used to statistically and visualize the expression trends of the two genes ENC1 and NFE2L3 in cancer and normal tissues. The results are shown in the attached Figure 7 and 8 As shown, the expression of the two predicted genes in cancer tissues was much higher than that in normal tissues.
