QPRT was associated with tumour immunity, especially in macrophages. QPRT may influence the occurrence and progression of breast cancer through the PI3K-AKT signalling pathway, Wnt signalling pathway, and cell cycle-related molecules.
Taking all factors into consideration, the rise in QPRT expression is related to a good prognosis and a grown proportion of immune cells in BRCA, such as neutrophils, B cells, mast cells, and T cells. These results suggest that QPRT can be used to be a possible biological indicator to evaluate the immune infiltration level of BRCA and its prognosis.
QPRT is highly expressed in breast cancer and particularly in HER2 breast cancer. Upregulated QPRT expression is an independent predictor of breast cancer prognosis and promotes breast cancer progression by activating the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway.
