Integrated bioinformatics analysis to elucidate cellular communication in the microenvironment of breast cancer. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
In the tumor microenvironment of breast cancer, intercellular communication pairs of different cell types and molecules can exacerbate the development of breast cancer. among them, through the present study, we found that CXCL12-CXCR4 and FGF7-FGFR1 are the most important. Also, most significantly differentially expressed genes including CHRDL1, SCARA5, LYVE1, PI16, and SAA2 seemed to play a critical role in these mechanisms and immune cell infiltration, shaping the TME of BC.
