MEIS1 identified as transcription factors of immune prognostic model (IPM) genes in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). (A) Putative transcription factors involved in regulating IPM genes expression; only MEIS1 showed a positive correlation with SLIT2 and CLU expression and a negative correlation with CDKN2A simultaneously (P < 0.05). (B) Decreased MEIS1 level associated with worse progression-free survival (PFS) (HR < 0.55, P = 0.005). (C) MEIS1 level was significantly downregulated in the tumor tissue relative to the solid tissue normal (P < 0.001). (D) Expression of MEIS1 has a negative association with MEIS1 methylation (P < 0.05). (E) MEIS1 methylation was more in tumor than the normal tissue in colon cancer (P < 0.001).
