Core Tip This study identifies EIF5B as a novel oncogenic driver in colonic adenocarcinoma. EIF5B was upregulated in tumor tissues and associated with poor prognosis. Functional experiments showed that EIF5B promoted tumor cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and xenograft growth by enhancing mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 phosphorylation. High EIF5B expression was also linked to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, lower predicted responses to programmed cell death protein 1/cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 blockade, and reduced sensitivity to standard chemotherapeutic agents. These findings suggest that EIF5B may serve as both a prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic target for overcoming chemotherapy and immunotherapy resistance in colonic adenocarcinoma.
