Cavin3 Suppresses Breast Cancer Metastasis via Inhibiting AKT Pathway.

ABSTRACT: Objective:Cavin3 is a putative tumor suppressor protein. However, its molecular action on tumor regulation is largely unknown. The aim of the current study is to explore the implication of cavin3 alteration, its clinical significance, and any potential molecular mechanisms in the regulation of breast cancer (BC). Methods:TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) and GTEx (Genotype-Tissue Expression) data bases, and 17 freshly paired BC and adjacent normal tissues were analyzed for mRNA levels of Cavin3. Furthermore, cavin3 protein expression from 407 primary BC samples were assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and measured by H-score. The clinical significance of cavin3 expression was explored by Kaplan-Meier analysis and the Cox regression method. In vitro biological assays were performed to elucidate the function and underlying mechanisms of cavin 3 in BC cell lines. Results:Cavin3 mRNA was dramatically down-regulated in BC compared with the negative control. The median H-score of cavin3 protein by IHC was 50 (range 0-270). There were 232 (57%) and 175 (43%) cases scored as low (H-score?50) and high (H-score >50) levels of cavin3, respectively. Low cavin3 was correlated with a higher T and N stage, and worse distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) and overall survival (OS). Multivariate survival analysis revealed low cavin3 was an independent fact for worse DMFS. In BC cells, an overexpression of cavin3 could inhibit cell migration and invasion, and significantly decreased the level of p-Akt. Knockout of cavin3, meanwhile, promoted cell invasion ability and increased the level of p-AKT. Conclusion:Cavin3 expression is significantly lower in BC and is correlated with distant metastasis and worse survival. Cavin3 functions as a metastasis suppressor via inhibiting the AKT pathway, suggesting cavin3 as a potential prognostic biomarker and a target for BC treatment.

Project description:Breast cancer metastasis is the primary cause of mortality of patients with breast cancer. The present study aimed to explore the role and underlying mechanisms of IGJ in the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer. The Cancer Genome Atlas database was utilized to analyze the differential gene expression profiles in patients with breast cancer with or without metastasis; the target gene, joining chain of multimeric IgA and IgM (JCHAIN, also known as IGJ, as referred to herein), with significant expression and with prognostic value was screened. The expression levels of IGJ in human breast cancer paired tissues and cell lines were detected using reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blot analysis. IGJ differential expression was detected in paired human breast cancer tissues using immunohistochemistry. The role of IGJ in breast cancer was verified using CCK‑8, invasion and migration assays, and scratch tests in vivo and in vitro. Further exploration of the role and mechanism of IGJ in breast cancer was conducted through Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis, western blot analysis and immunofluorescence experiments. Through the analysis of gene expression profiles, it was found that IGJ was poorly expressed in patients with breast cancer with metastasis compared to patients with non‑metastatic breast cancer. The overexpression of IGJ was associated with an improved distant metastasis‑free survival and overall survival (OS). COX multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that IGJ was an independent prognostic factor for the OS and relapse‑free survival of patients with breast cancer. In comparison to healthy breast cancer adjacent tissues and cell lines, IGJ was poorly expressed in breast cancer tissues and cell lines (P<0.05). Further analyses indicated that the overexpression of IGJ suppressed the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells in vivo and in vitro by inhibiting the occurrence of epithelial‑to‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) and suppressing the nuclear translocation of p65. Finally, rescue experiments indicated that IGJ restricted the proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer cells by regulating the NF‑κB signaling pathway. On the whole, the present study demonstrates that IGJ suppresses the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer by inhibiting both the occurrence of EMT and the NF‑κB signaling pathway. These findings may provide novel biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.
