Bioinformatics reveal macrophages marker genes signature in breast cancer to predict prognosis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Breast cancer is a pivotal cause of global women cancer death. Immunotherapy has become a promising means to cure breast cancer. As constitutes of immune microenvironment of breast cancer, macrophages exert complicated functions in the tumour development and treatment. This study aims to develop a prognostic macrophage marker genes signature (MMGS).Methods: Single cell RNA sequence data analysis was performed to identify macrophage marker genes in breast cancer. TCGA database was used to construct MMGS model as a training cohort, and GSE96058 dataset was used to validate the MMGS as a validation cohort.Results: Genes included in the MMGS model were: SERPINA1, CD74, STX11, ADAM9, CD24, NFKBIA, PGK1. MMGS risk score stratified by overall survival of patients
