Abstract Background: Invasive breast carcinoma (BRCA) is associated with poor prognosis and high risk of mortality.
Therefore, it is critical to identify novel biomarkers for the prognostic assessment of BRCA. Methods: The expression data
of polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) in BRCA and the corresponding clinical information were extracted from TCGA and GEO
databases. PLK1 expression was validated in diverse breast cancer cell lines by quantitative real-time polymerase chain
reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting. Single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was performed to
evaluate immune infiltration in the BRCA microenvironment, and the random forest (RF) and support vector
machine (SVM) algorithms… More >
