Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common tumor in women, and its incidence is increasing, ranking first among female malignant tumors. It is urgently needed to find new and reliable biomarkers of BC and to understand the cellular changes that cause metastasis. Stomatin-like protein-2 (SLP-2) is a member of the stomatin protein superfamily. Studies have shown that SLP-2 was highly expressed in some tumors and played an important role in tumor genesis and development. SLP-2 regulated the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway, and activation of ERK phosphorylated FOXO3a, which was involved in BC progression. However, its possible role in the progression of BC remains unclear. In this study, we found the high expression of SLP-2 in BC tissues and cells. SLP-2 promoted the viability of BC cells. In addition, we found that SLP-2 stimulated the motility of BC cells in vitro. Mechanically, our results revealed that SLP-2 could mediate FOXO3a expression and ERK signaling pathway, thereby contributing to the viability and motility of BC cells. Therefore, SLP-2 has the potential to serve as a promising target for BC treatment.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
