Cuproptosis-related genes predict prognosis and trastuzumab therapeutic response in HER2-positive breast cancer

Breast cancer is the most common diagnosed cancer, the HER2-positive subtype account for 15% of all breast cancer. HER2-targeted therapy is the mainstay treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer. Cuproptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death, and is caused by mitochondrial lipoylation and destabilization of iron-sulfur proteins triggered by copper, which was considered as a key player in various biological processes. However, the roles of cuproptosis-related genes in HER2-positive breast cancer remain largely unknown. In the present study, we constructed a prognostic prediction model of HER2-positive breast cancer patients using TCGA database. Dysregulated genes for cells resistant to HER2-targeted therapy were analyzed in the GEO dataset. KEGG pathway, GO enrichment and GSEA was performed respectively. The immune landscape of DLAT was analyzed by CIBERSORT algorithm and TIDE algorithm. HER2-positive breast cancer patients with high CRGs risk score showed shorter OS. DLAT was downregulated and correlated with better survival of HER2-positive breast cancer patients (HR = 3.30, p = 0.022). High expressed DLAT was associated with resistant to HER2-targeted therapy. Knocking down DLAT with siRNA increased sensitivity of breast cancer to trastuzumab. KEGG pathway and GO enrichment of DEGs indicated that DLAT participates in various pathways correlated with organelle fission, chromosome segregation, nuclear division, hormone-mediated signaling pathway, regulation of intracellular estrogen receptor signaling pathway, condensed chromosome and PPAR signaling pathway. There was a negative correlation between TIDE and DLAT expression (r = - 0.292, p < 0.001), which means high DLAT expression is an indicator of sensitivity to immunotherapy. In conclusion, our study constructed a four CRGs signature prognostic prediction model and identified DLAT as an independent prognostic factor and associated with resistant to HER2-targeted therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer patients.
