Abstract More and more evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) have important roles in several diseases, especially cancers. However, their involvement remains to be investigated breast cancer. Through screening circRNA profile, we identified 235 differentially expressed circRNAs Subsequently, explored the clinical significance of two circTADA2As a large cohort triple-negative cancer (TNBC), performed functional analysis circTADA2A-E6 vitro vivo support findings. Finally, evaluated...

Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a recently identified cytokine, an important member of the interleukin-1 family. IL-33 binds to its receptor ST2 induce type 2 cytokines and exert both pro-inflammatory protective functions in host defense disease. Murine breast carcinoma models suggest disruption signaling may enhance anti-tumor immune response, suggesting impedes immunity. However, role patients with cancers (BC) not elucidated. We detected expression tumor tissue, related serum from BC patients....

Abstract Recent studies indicate that the long noncoding RNA ATB (lncATB) can induce epithelial−mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer cells, but specific cellular targets of lncATB require further investigation. In present study, upregulation breast cells was validated a TGF-β-induced EMT model. Gain- and loss-of-function demonstrated enhanced cell migration, invasion clonogenicity vitro vivo. LncATB promoted by acting as sponge for miR-200 family restoring Twist1 expression. Subsequently,...

Resistance to chemotherapy remains a significant problem in the treatment of breast cancer, especially for triple-negative cancer (TNBC), which standard systemic therapy is currently limited chemotherapeutic agents. Our study aimed better understand molecular mechanisms that lead failure TNBC. Herein, we observed elevated expression Notch1 and major vault protein (MVP) MDA-MB-231DDPR cells compared their parental counterparts. We demonstrated could positively regulate MVP. Also,...

Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are derived from arachidonic acid by cytochrome P450 (CYP) and metabolized soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). EETs have been associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes several cancer diseases. However, the distribution in tissue role of CYP2C8, 2C9, 2J2 sEH human breast carcinogenesis remains uncertain.

Background S-phase kinase protein 2 (Skp2), an oncogenic protein, is a key regulator in different cellular and molecular processes, through ubiquitin-proteasome degradation pathway. Increased levels of Skp2 are observed various types cancer associated with poor prognosis. However, human breast carcinomas, the underlying mechanism prognostic significance cytoplasmic still undefined. Methods To investigate role expression we immnohistochemically assessed Skp2, p-Akt1, p27 251 patients invasive...

TFPI-2 has been recognized as a potent tumor suppressor gene. Low expression of results in enhanced growth and metastasis variety human tumors. In the present study, we investigated mechanism responsible for suppressive effect TFPI-2. Overexpression decreased phosphorylation ERK1/2 translocation p-ERK1/2 from cytoplasm into nucleus, eventually resulted reduced cell proliferation. Immunoprecipitation assays identified myosin-9 actinin-4 TFPI-2-interacting proteins. Full-length was required...
