Objective:Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) encoded by IFNG gene is a pleiotropic molecule linked with inflammatory cell death mechanisms. This work aimed to determine and characterize IFNG and co-expressed genes, and to define their implications in breast carcinoma (BRCA).Methods:Transcriptome profiles of BRCA were retrospectively acquired from public datasets. Combination of differential expression analysis with WGCNA was conducted for selecting IFNG-co-expressed genes. A prognostic signature was generated through Cox regression approaches. The tumor microenvironment populations were inferred utilizing CIBERSORT. Epigenetic and epitranscriptomic mechanisms were also probed.Results:IFNG was overexpressed in BRCA, and connected with prolonged overall survival and recurrence-free survival. Two IFNG-co-expressed RNAs (AC006369.1, and CCR7) constituted a prognostic model that acted as an independent risk factor. The nomogram composed of the model, TNM, stage, and new event owned the satisfying efficacy in BRCA prognostication. IFNG, AC006369.1, and CCR7 were closely linked with the tumor microenvironment components (e.g., macrophages, CD4/CD8 T cells, NK cells), and immune checkpoints (notably PD1/PD-L1). Somatic mutation frequencies were 6%, and 3% for CCR7, and IFNG, and high amplification potentially resulted in their overexpression in BRCA. Hypomethylated cg05224770 and cg07388018 were connected with IFNG and CCR7 upregulation, respectively. Additionally, transcription factors, RNA-binding proteins, and non-coding RNAs possibly regulated IFNG and co-expressed genes at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels.Conclusion:Collectively, our work identifies IFNG and co-expressed genes as prognostic markers for BRCA, and as possible therapeutic targets for improving the efficacy of immunotherapy.
