-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modifications in the progression of breast cancer (BC) has been recognised. However, their potential role and mechanism of action in the tumour microenvironment (TME) and immune response has not been demonstrated. Thus, the role of m6A regulators and their downstream target gene components in BC remain to be explored. In this study, we used a series of bioinformatics methods and experiments to conduct exploratory research on the possible role of m6A regulators in BC. First, two regulatory modes of immune activation and inactivation were determined by tumour classification. The TME, immune cell infiltration, and gene set variation analysis results confirmed the reliability of this pattern. The prognostic model of the m6A regulator was established by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and univariate and multivariate Cox analyses, with the two regulators most closely related to survival verified by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Next, the prognostic m6A regulator identified in the model was crossed with the differential copy number of variant genes in invasive BC (IBC), and it was determined that YTHDF1 was a hub regulator. Subsequently, single-cell analysis revealed the expression patterns of m6A regulators in different IBC cell populations and found that YTHDF1 had significantly higher expression in immune-related IBC cells. Therefore, we selected the intersection of the BC differential expression gene set and the differential expression gene set of a cell line with knocked-down YTHDF1 in literature to identify downstream target genes of YTHDF1, in which we found IFI6, EIR, and SPTBN1. A polymerase chain reaction was conducted to verify the results. Finally, we confirmed the role of YTHDF1 as a potential prognostic biomarker through pan-cancer analysis. Furthermore, our findings revealed that YTHDF1 can serve as a new molecular marker for BC immunotherapy.
