Background

CD8A, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, is primarily responsible for cell-mediated immune defense and T-cell development. CD8A, as an important member of the T-cytotoxicity pathway-associated genes, may be a useful biomarker of immunotherapeutic response and immune-cell infiltration, and has been widely reported to be a potential prognostic and diagnostic marker for a variety of disorders (e.g., inflammatory disorders and tumors). Studies have shown that CD8A expression is highly correlated with tumor mutational load, key immune checkpoint genes, and several types of tumor-infiltrating immune cells, predicting effective response to immunotherapy. Recent studies suggest that CD8A may be a potential prognostic marker for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and may also play a role in breast cancer (BC) metastasis.
