is significantly elevated in various malignancies. However, the clinical significance of in hormone receptor (HR)-positive (HR+) breast cancer remains unclear. We evaluated expression in different databases and validated assay by RT-PCR and western blot among HR+ breast cancer. The correlations between level and tumor-immune were calculated. Mutational landscape, enriched signaling pathways, and drug sensitivity analyses were also assessed between high and low-expression groups. was upregulated in HR+ breast cancer, and high expression was significantly linked with poor prognosis. was correlated with the expression and function of different immune cells. The low group showed sensitivity to paclitaxel and docetaxel, while the high-expression group showed sensitivity to doxorubicin. CTLA4 and PD-L1 were more sensitive in high- group. It is involved in a range of pathways and might behave as a novel biomarker of prognostic value for the immune environment and drug sensitivity in HR+ breast cancer.
在各种恶性肿瘤中显著升高。然而,其在激素受体(HR)阳性(HR+)乳腺癌中的临床意义仍不清楚。我们在不同数据库中评估了其表达,并通过逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和蛋白质免疫印迹法在HR+乳腺癌中验证了检测方法。计算了其水平与肿瘤免疫之间的相关性。还评估了高表达组和低表达组之间的突变图谱、富集的信号通路和药物敏感性分析。其在HR+乳腺癌中上调,高表达与不良预后显著相关。其与不同免疫细胞的表达和功能相关。低表达组对紫杉醇和多西他赛敏感,而高表达组对阿霉素敏感。细胞毒性T淋巴细胞相关蛋白4(CTLA4)和程序性死亡受体配体1(PD-L1)在高表达组中更敏感。它参与一系列通路,可能作为HR+乳腺癌免疫环境和药物敏感性预后价值的新型生物标志物。
