Abstract Breast cancer ranks no. 1 in women worldwide, while 60–70% are estrogen receptor alpha positive. The selective modulators, such as tamoxifen, become the effective drugs for controlling ER breast progression. However, tamoxifen resistance will develop during long-time treatment and Thus, further understanding of signaling becomes necessary improvement therapy. Here, we identify TRIM56 a novel regulatory factor signaling. expression is positively correlated with PR samples related to...

Abstract Hippo signaling restricts tissue growth by inhibiting the transcriptional effector YAP. Here we uncover a role of and tumor suppressor function YAP in estrogen receptor positive (ER + ) breast cancer. We find that inhibition Hippo/MST1/2 or activation blocks ERα program ER cancer growth. Mechanistically, pathway transcription factor TEAD physically interacts with to increase its promoter/enhancer occupancy whereas inhibits ERα/TEAD interaction, decreases on target...

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has the highest mortality rate of all subtypes and currently lacks effective targeted therapies. LARP6 is an RNA-binding protein associated with promotion, but its mechanism action in TNBC remains unclear. We conducted RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) improved immunoprecipitation (iRIP-seq) to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) alternative splice sites bound regulated by MDA-MB-231 cells. Finally, both RT-qPCR RIP-qPCR were employed for verification....

Inflammation is the body's normal self-protection mechanism to eliminate pathogens and resist pathogen invasion. The excessive inflammatory response may lead lesions. mechanisms accounting for inflammation remain hazy. miRNAs have been proposed crucial effects on inflammation. In present study, we reported that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulation increased expression levels of cytokines cell-cycle progression was suppressed in RAW264.7 cells. Meanwhile, miR-322 significantly down-regulated...
