An In Silico Analysis Identified FZD9 as a Potential Prognostic Biomarker in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Patients

Öz:
Objective: Breast cancer (BC) is the main cause of cancer-related deaths in women across the world. It can be classified into different subtypes, includingtriple-negative (TN), which is characterized by the absence of hormone receptors for estrogen and progesterone and the lack of the human epidermal growthfactor receptor 2. These tumors have high heterogeneity, acquire therapeutic resistance, and have no established target-driven treatment yet.The identification of differentially expressed genes in TN breast tumors and the in silico validation of their prognostic role in these tumors.Materials and Methods: We employed a microarray dataset and, by using the GEO2R tool, we identified a list of differentially expressed genes. The insilico validation was conducted using several online platforms including the KM Plotter, cBioPortal, bc-GenExMiner, Prognoscan, and Roc Plotter.Results: We observed that FZD9 was among the top differentially expressed genes in a cohort of patients with different TNBC subtypes. The FZD9expression was significantly different in TN breast tumors than in non-TN (nTN) breast tumors (p<0.0001), and the basal TN subtype showed the highestlevels (p<0.0001). In addition, the FZD9 levels were significantly inversely and positively proportional (p<0.0001) to estrogen receptor, progesteronereceptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 clinical parameters. The high levels of FZD9 were associated with worse overall survival (p=0.007),relapse-free survival (p=5.8e-05), and worse survival in patients who received chemotherapy (p=3.2e-05; 0.007).Conclusion: Our cumulative results demonstrated that FZD9 plays an important role in TNBC and may be a potential prognostic biomarker. Nevertheless,further in vitro and in vivo assays are necessary to confirm our findings and to strengthen the evidences about the mechanisms by which FZD9 functionsin these tumors.
