This research aims to explore the association between TLS scores, immune profiles, and treatment responses in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
Analyzed clinical and transcriptomic data across 12 TNBC cohorts using a 12-gene TLS signature score.
Divided patients into TLS-high and low groups based on median cutoff.
Utilized spatial transcriptomic data for validation of TLS scores.
Assessed associations between TLS scores and clinicopathologic features, therapeutic outcomes, and genomic characteristics.
Higher TLS scores found in tumors with confirmed TLSs.
TLS-high tumors had greater histological grade and lymph node involvement.
Significant enrichment of immune-related pathways and increased infiltration of immune cells (CD8+ T cells, B cells, etc.) in TLS-high tumors.
TLS-high tumors showed higher intratumoral genomic heterogeneity.
Higher TLS scores correlated positively with favorable clinical outcomes, particularly in neoadjuvant chemotherapy cohorts.
