A Comprehensive Immunologic Portrait of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Abstract Background Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a high-risk malignancy due to its high capacity for invasion and lack of targeted therapy. Immunotherapy continues to demonstrate efficacy in a variety of cancers, and thus may be a promising strategy for TNBC given the limited therapeutic options currently available for TNBC. In this study, we performed a comprehensive portrait of immunologic landscape of TNBC based on 2 large-scale breast cancer genomic data. Methods We compared expression levels of immune-related genes and gene-sets among TNBC, non-TNBC, and normal tissue, and within TNBCs of different genotypic or phenotypic features. Moreover, we explored the association of immune-related genes or gene-sets expression and survival prognosis in TNBC patients. Results We found that almost all analyzed immune-related gene-sets had significantly higher expression levels in TNBC than non-TNBC. These highly expressed gene-sets in TNBC included 15 immune cell type and function, human leukocyte antigen (HLA), cancer testis (CT), tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), immune cell infiltrate, regulatory T (Treg) cells, immune checkpoint, cytokine and cytokine receptor, metastasis-promoting, pro-inflammatory and parainflammation (PI) gene-sets. Moreover, TP53-mutated , TNBC had significantly higher expression levels of the immune checkpoint, Treg, PI, and CT gene-sets, and lower expression levels of the immune cell infiltrate gene-set than TP53 -wildtype TNBC. Furthermore, we found that elevated expression of most of the immune-related genes in TNBC was associated with the ER-status, while some were associated with both ER-and HER2-status. Elevated expression of the immune-related genes in TNBC was also associated with the high tumor mutation burden (TMB) in TNBC. Finally, elevated expression of the immune-related gene-sets was likely to be associated with better survival prognosis in TNBC. Conclusions Our findings suggest that TNBC is a breast cancer subtype with particularly strong immunogenicity, and therefore could be propitious to immunotherapeutic options.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
