Abstract
Polyadenylate‐binding protein‐interacting protein 1 (PAIP1) is a protein that modulates translation initiation in eukaryotic cells. Studies have shown that PAIP1 was overexpressed in various type of cancers, and drives cancer progression by promoting cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. In our previous study, we identified that PAIP1 was overexpressed in breast cancer, and the expression was correlated with poor prognosis. However, the biological function of PAIP1 in breast cancer has not been clearly understood. In this study, we constructed PAIP1 specifically silenced breast cancer cells. Then, cell proliferation, cell cycle distribution, and apoptosis were detected in PAIP1 knockdown cells. RNA‐seq analysis was performed to predict the downstream target of PAIP1, and the molecular mechanism was explored. As a results, we found that knockdown of PAIP1 repressed cell proliferation, induced cell cycle arrest, and triggers apoptosis. Xenograft mouse model showed that knockdown of PAIP1 inhibits cell growth in vivo. RNA‐seq predicted that CCNE2 mRNA was one of the downstream targets of PAIP1. In addition, we identified that knockdown of PAIP1‐inhibited cell proliferation through modulating cyclin E2 expression. Mechanically, knockdown of PAIP1 reduces the expression of cyclin E2 by regulating the mRNA stability of cyclin E2. Moreover, in breast cancer tissues, we found that the expression of PAIP1 was positively correlated with cyclin E2. Taken together, our findings establish the role and mechanism of PAIP1 in breast cancer progression, indicating that PAIP1 would be a new therapeutic target for breast cancer treatment.
