【 摘 要 】

Background: Breast cancer (BRCA) represents the most frequent diagnosed malignancy in women worldwide. Despite treatment advances, BRCAs eventually develop resistance to targeted therapies, resulting in poor prognosis. The identification of new biomarkers, like immune-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), could contribute to the clinical management of BRCA patients. In this report, we evaluated the LINC00426 expression in PAM50 BRCA subtypes from two clinical independent cohorts (BRCA-TCGA and GEO-GSE96058 datasets).Methods and results: Using Cox regression models and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses, we identified that LINC00426 expression was a consistent overall survival (OS) predictor in luminal B (LB) BRCA patients. Subsequently, differential gene expression and gene set enrichment analyses identified that LINC00426 expression was associated with different immune-related and cancer-related pathways and processes in LB BRCA. Additionally, the LINC00426 expression was correlated with the infiltration level of diverse immune cell populations, alongside immune checkpoint and cytolytic activity-related gene expression.Conclusion: This evidence suggests that LINC00426 is a potential biomarker of immune phenotype and an OS predictor in PAM50 LB BRCA.
