The silenced KRT17 remarkably downregulated the expression of cyclinD1, Cyclin Dependent Kinase 1 (CDK1), CDK2, Phospho-Focal Adhesion Kinase (p-FAK), p-Src, and p-ERK proteins in the PC cells. Generally, an essential signaling cascade of miRNA-485-5p/KRT17/FAK/Src/ERK influences the biological functions of PC cells.
Notably, low KRT17TB can specifically identify those patients with a poor prognosis among colorectal cancer patients with low TB and high T-lymphocyte infiltration. KRT17 can be employed as a new indicator for distinguishing different immunological TBs.

Among patients receiving pembrolizumab-based therapy (n=21), there were 12 (57...There was no correlation between K17 and individual markers. Conclusions Our findings suggest an inverse trend between K17 expression and clinical outcomes, pending further validation in an expanded patient cohort.
In a cohort of patients with colorectal cancer receiving pembrolizumab, high KRT17 expression was found within the tumors of responders. Collectively, we elucidated a critical role of KRT17 in CRC to prevent immune escape. These findings present new insights into potential therapeutic strategies and effective markers of immunotherapy reactivity against pMMR tumors.
