摘要:
Background: CLDN is a core component of tight junctions (TJs). Abnormal expressions of CLDNs are commonly detected in various types of tumors. CLDNs are of interest as a potential therapeutic target. CLDNs are closely associated with most cancers of epithelial origin, especially when CLDN7 promotes cancer cell metastasis, such as in gastric, cervical, and ovarian cancers.Its expression and prognosis in breast cancer (BC) remain unknown.The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression pattern of CLDN7 and related immune factors in BC and shed light on a better therapeutic avenue for BC patients. Method: The cBioPortal, GEPIA, and TCGA databases were used to comprehensively assess the expression of CLDN7 in BC. The Kaplan-Meier Plotter (KMP) database was applied to examine the relationship among the CLDN7 overexpression (OE), prognosis, and overall survival (OS) of BC patients. Immunohistochemical staining was performed on 92 BC tissue samples and 20 benign breast tumors to verify the expression level of CLDN-7 protein and its correlation with clinicopathological features and prognosis. TIMER2.0 was used to analyze the correlation between the CLDN7 OE and immune gene activation using BC-related transcriptomic data. Enrichment analyses of CLDN7-related immune pathways were conducted using online databases. The risk of expression of CLDN7-related immune genes was assessed and differentially expressed (DE) genes were included in the construction of the risk prognosis nomogram. Results: Both database analysis and clinical sample validation results showed that CLDN7 was significantly overexpressed (OE) in BC, and the OE was correlated with poor DFS in BC patients (p < 0.05). TIMER2.0 analysis indicated that CLDN7 OE was negatively associated with the activation of B-cells, CD4(+) T-cells, and CD8(+) T-cells but positively with the M-0 macrophages. Pathway enrichment analysis suggested that CLDN7-related immune factors were mostly involved in the NF-kappa B and T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling pathways. Univariate Cox regression was used to analyze the correlation between 52 CLDN7 related genes and OS, and 22 genes that are related to prognosis were identified. Prognostic genes were included in the prognostic nomogram of BC with a C-index of 0.76 to predict the 3-year and 5-year OS probabilities of BC individuals. Conclusions: These findings provide evidence for the role of CLDN7-linked tumor immunity, suggesting that CLDN7 might be a potential immunotherapeutic target for BC, and its association with immune markers could shed light on the better prognosis of BC.
