• Colorectal cancer incidence and mortality have increased in recent years, with more than half of patients who died of colorectal cancer developing liver metastases. Consequently, colorectal cancer liver metastasis is the focus of clinical treatment, as well as being the most difficult. The primary target genes related to colorectal cancer liver metastasis were via bioinformatics analysis. First, five prognosis-related genes, CTAG1A, CSTL1, FJX1, IER5L, and KLHL35, were identified through screening, and the prognosis of the CSTL1, FJX1, IER5L, and KLHL35 high expression group was considerably poorer than that of the low expression group. Furthermore, the clinical correlation analysis revealed that in distinct pathological stages T, N, and M, the mRNA expression levels of CSTL1, IER5L, and KLHL35 were higher than in normal tissues. Finally, a correlation study of the above genes and clinical manifestations revealed that FJX1 was strongly linked to colorectal cancer liver metastasis. FJX1 is thought to affect chromogenic modification enzymes, the Notch signaling system, cell senescence, and other signaling pathways, according to KEGG enrichment analysis. FJX1 may be a critical target in colorectal cancer metastasis, and thus has the potential as a new biomarker to predict and treat colorectal cancer liver metastases.
