Abstract
BACKGROUND: Efficacious therapy for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) continues to be a profound clinical challenge, but the key driven genes and convoluted signaling pathways are still unknown.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 223 samples (163 TNBC and 60 healthy breast tissues) were taken and deeply integrated analyzed by R software from 4 expression profiles in the study, including GSE53752, GSE45827, GSE65194, and GSE38959. We examined differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and screen for critical genes and pathways enrichment. The protein‑protein interaction (PPI) network of DEGs-associated was built through the STRING Version: 11.0 database and Cytoscape software to filter the hub gene. Then, we verified hug gene expression levels through the Oncomine database. Also, we analyzed the prognostic value of TNBC patient’s hub genes using the Kaplan-Meier plotter database.
RESULTS: In our study, we filter out 365 DEGs, including 212 upregulated genes and 153 downregulated genes. Then, 10 hub genes were picked out by the intersection of 12 algorithms. At the same time, we discovered that CXCR4 and CXCL10 overexpression are favorable prognostic factors for recurrence-free survival of TNBC through the Kaplan-Meier plotter database.
CONCLUSIONS: Our research found that CXCR4 and CXCL10 overexpressed, and they were a favorable prognostic factor in patients with TNBC. CXCR4 and CXCL10 might be effective targets for TNBC therapy.
