A mitochondria pathways\u2010associated signature (MPAS) was established using multimachine learning framework and interpreted by SHAP analysis across independent BC cohorts. Additionally, a series of functional experiments were employed to explore the role of RNA exonuclease 2 (REXO2) in BC cells.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MRPs are extensively activated in BC at multiomics level. MPAS demonstrates outstanding predictive performance across multiple BC cohorts, with high scores indicating poor clinical outcomes. Moreover, it was observed that high MPAS scores are closely associated with immunosuppressive states and inflammatory microenvironments. SHAP analysis identified REXO2 as a hub factor of MPAS. Cell\u2010based work confirmed that silencing REXO2 greatly inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in BC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our proposed MPAS could effectively evaluate the prognosis and treatment response of BC patients, providing new reference for clinical decision\u2010making.
