Abstract

Hypoxia, an important component of the tumor microenvironment, plays a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of cancer. However, to the best of our knowledge, a systematic analysis of a hypoxia‑related prognostic signature for breast cancer is lacking and is urgently required. Therefore, in the present study, RNA‑seq data and clinical information were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and served as a discovery cohort. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed to construct a 14‑gene prognostic signature (PFKL, P4HA2, GRHPR, SDC3, PPP1R15A, SIAH2, NDRG1, BTG1, TPD52, MAFF, ISG20, LALBA, ERRFI1 and VHL). The hypoxia‑related signature successfully predicted survival outcomes of the discovery cohort (P<0.001 for the TCGA dataset). Three independent Gene Expression Omnibus databases (GSE10886, GSE20685 and GSE96058) were used as validation cohorts to verify the value of the predictive signature (P=0.007 for GSE10886, P=0.021 for GSE20685, P<0.001 for GSE96058). In the present study, a robust predictive signature was developed for patients with breast cancer, and the findings revealed that the 14‑gene hypoxia‑related signature could serve as a potential prognostic biomarker for breast cancer.
