Autophagy is closely related to breast cancer and has the dual role of promoting and inhibiting the progression of breast cancer. In this study, we aimed to establish an autophagy-related gene signature for the prognosis of breast cancer. A gene signature composed of the eight most survival-relevant autophagy-associated genes was identified by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis. A risk score was calculated based on the gene signature, which divided breast cancer patients into low- or high-risk groups and showed good and poor prognosis, respectively. The risk score displayed good prognostic performance in both the training cohort (TCGA, 1-10-year AUC > 0.63) and the validation cohort (GEO, 1-10-year AUC > 0.66). The multivariate Cox regression and stratified analysis revealed that the risk score was an independent prognostic factor for breast cancer patients. Moreover, the high-risk score was associated with higher infiltration of neutrophils and M2-polarized macrophages, and lower infiltration of resting memory CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and NK cells. Finally, the high-risk score was associated with myc target, glycolysis, and mTORC1 signaling. The risk score developed based on the autophagy-associated gene signature was an independent prognostic biomarker for breast cancer.
