Protective role of LRRC3B in preventing breast cancer metastasis and recurrence post-bupivacaine.

ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to investigate the potential effect of leucine-rich repeat containing 3B (LRRC3B) with respect to the inhibition of breast cancer recurrence and metastasis post-anesthesia. The mRNA expression of LRRC3B in breast MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell lines was detected using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis. The effect of bupivacaine on breast cancer cell invasion was analyzed using a Matrigel assay. LRRC3B specific small interfering (si)RNA was constructed and transfected into breast cancer cells using Lipofectamine® 2000 reagent. The influence of bupivacaine on LRRC3B expression was measured based on RT-qPCR. Additionally, the effect of LRRC3B silencing on the invasion of breast cancer cells treated with bupivacaine was analyzed.
