Caveolin-1 As A Novel Therapeutic Target For Breast Cancer: A Review Article

Abstract

In preclinical studies, expressed Cav-1 has been demonstrated to prevent breast tumor cell invasion, and the lack of stromal Cav-1 is linked to early breast cancer development. According to certain research, Cav-1 may also inhibit the late phase of autophagy via HIF-1 in triple-negative breast cancer. Furthermore, Cav-1 has been demonstrated to prevent breast tumor stem cells' self-renewal ability and aerobic glycolysis activity. These data show that Cav-1 may play an important function in breast tumor inhibition, as a possible target for treatment of breast cancer.
