In vivo animal experiments further confirmed that VIRMA and HNRNPC enhanced the TFAP2A/DDR1 axis, promoting collagen fiber alignment, reducing anti-tumor immune cell infiltration, and promoting immune escape in BC.<h4>Conclusion</h4>This study demonstrated that HNRNPC promoted DDR1 transcription by recognizing VIRMA-unveiled m6A modification of TFAP2A mRNA, which enhanced collagen fiber alignment and ultimately resulted in the reduction of anti-tumor immune cell infiltration and promotion of immune escape in BC. Here, TFAP2A is linked to neoplasm.
