Abstract

Abstract : Background . A tumor occurs because of abnormal cell multiplication caused by many variables like a significant disturbance in the regulation of cell growth and the instability of chromosome mitosis. Budding uninhibited by benzimidazoles 1 (BUB1), BUB1 mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine kinase B (BUB1B), and budding uninhibited by benzimidazoles 3 (BUB3) are key regulators of mitosis, and their abnormal expression is highly correlated with breast cancer (BrCa), sarcoma, hepatic carcinoma, and other malignant tumors. However, the occurrence of BUBs (BUB1, BUB1B, and BUB3) and the development of BrCa have not been systematically explained. Methods . Find out the target gene by looking up literature on PubMed and CNKI. Using the R software, TCGA, GEO, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, TIMER, and other databases, we studied the level of transcription, genetic changes, and physiological functions of BUBs in BrCa patients and their relationship with the origin, development, prognosis, immunity, and drug resistance of BrCa patients. Findings . We found that the high expression level of BUBs in BrCa tissues proposed a poor prognosis. The multivariate Cox regression analysis suggested that BUB1B and BUB3 might be independent prognostic factors of BrCa. In addition, the Metascape functional enrichment analysis showed that BUBs may be involved in the composition of the spindle, chromosome, and other structures and play a role in mitosis, sister chromatid separation, and other processes. Pathway enrichment suggests that BUBs may affect the cell cycle and lead to abnormal proliferation. Meanwhile, we also found that BUB3 can negatively regulate B lymphocytes, and BUB1 and BUB1B inhibit immune responses by promoting the secretion level of checkpoint molecules of the immune system, leading to immune escape of tumor cells. Conclusion . We speculate that BUB1, BUB1B, and BUB3 may be therapeutic targets for BrCa patients and also provide new therapeutic strategies for BrCa treatment.
