Identification of CD161 expression as a novel prognostic biomarker in breast cancer correlated with immune infiltration.

ABSTRACT: Background: CD161 has been identified as a prognostic biomarker in many neoplasms, but its role in breast cancer (BC) has not been fully explained. We aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism and prognostic value of CD161 in BC. Methods: CD161 expression profile was extracted from TIMER, Oncomine, UALCAN databases, and verified by the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The prognostic value of CD161 was assessed via GEPIA, Kaplan-Meier plotter and PrognoScan databases. The Cox regression and nomogram analyses were conducted to further validate the association between CD161 expression and survival. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), Gene Ontology (GO) analysis, an
