Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common tumor types and has poor outcomes. In this study, a ubiquitination-related prognostic signature was constructed, and its association with immunotherapy response in BC was explored. A list of ubiquitination-related genes was obtained from the molecular signatures database, and a ubiquitination-related gene signature was obtained by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression. The genes, , , and , had significant influence on BC outcomes. Patients were categorized into two clusters-a high-risk group with poor survival and a low-risk group with greater chances of controlling BC progression. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that the risk signature was an independent prognostic factor for BC. Gene set enrichment analysis suggested that the high-risk group was enriched in cell cycle and DNA replication pathways. The risk score was positively linked to the tumor microenvironment and negatively correlated with the immunotherapy response. The IC50 values for rapamycin were higher in the low-risk group, whereas those for axitinib, AZD6244, erlotinib, GDC0941, GSK650394, GSK269962A, lapatinib, and PD0325901 were higher in the high-risk group. Therefore, the ubiquitination-related signature is considered a promising tool for predicting a BC patient's immunotherapy response.
乳腺癌(BC)是最常见的肿瘤类型之一,预后较差。在本研究中,构建了一种与泛素化相关的预后特征,并探讨了其与BC免疫治疗反应的关联。从分子特征数据库中获取了一份与泛素化相关的基因列表,并通过最小绝对收缩和选择算子Cox回归获得了一种与泛素化相关的基因特征。基因 、 、 和 对BC预后有显著影响。患者被分为两个簇——生存较差的高危组和控制BC进展机会较大的低危组。单因素和多因素Cox回归分析显示,风险特征是BC的独立预后因素。基因集富集分析表明,高危组在细胞周期和DNA复制途径中富集。风险评分与肿瘤微环境呈正相关,与免疫治疗反应呈负相关。低危组中雷帕霉素的IC50值较高,而高危组中阿西替尼、AZD6244、厄洛替尼、GDC0941、GSK650394、GSK269962A、拉帕替尼和PD0325901的IC50值较高。因此,与泛素化相关的特征被认为是预测BC患者免疫治疗反应的一种有前景的工具。
