IntroductionTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a particularly aggressive cluster of breast cancer characterized by significant molecular heterogeneity. Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that is significantly associated with cancer progression, metastasis, recurrence and chemoresistance. However, the potential roles of glycolysis-related genes in TNBC remain unclear.MethodsIn the present study, we identified 108 glycolysis-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between breast cancer (BRCA) tumor tissues and normal tissues, and we divided patients into two different clusters with significantly distinct molecular characteristics, clinicopathological features, prognosis, immune cell infiltration and mutation burden. We then constructed a 10-gene signature that classified all TNBCs into low- and high-risk groups.ResultsThe high-risk group had significantly lower survival than the low-risk group, which implied that the risk score was an independent prognostic indicator for TNBC patients. Consequently, we constructed and validated a prognostic nomogram, which accurately predicted individual overall survival (OS) of TNBC. Moreover, the risk score predicted the drug sensitivity of chemotherapeutic agents and immunotherapy for TNBC patients.DiscussionThe present comprehensive analysis of glycolysis-related DEGs in TNBC provides new methods for prognosis prediction and more effective treatment strategies. |
