Abstract
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) has been identified as a factor that hinders the malignant advancement of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Nevertheless, the specific molecular mechanism responsible for this impact remains unclear. This study demonstrates that GnRHR exhibits low expression levels in TNBC, which correlates with an unfavorable prognosis for patients. GnRHR promotes the expression of FOS, subsequently enhancing IFI44L transcription and expression, thereby inhibiting TNBC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Goserelin reduced the growth rate of TNBC tumors in nude mice, resulting in elevated levels of GnRHR, FOS, and IFI44L in tumor tissues, while the expression of Ki67, vimentin, and N-cadherin decreased. Overall, our results reveal that GnRHR suppresses the malignant progression of TNBC by upregulating FOS and IFI44L. Goserelin slows down the proliferation of TNBC tumors in vivo through the GnRHR/FOS/IFI44L pathway, which may present a new therapeutic approach for the management of TNBC.
期刊介绍:
Genomics is a forum for describing the development of genome-scale technologies and their application to all areas of biological investigation.
As a journal that has evolved with the field that carries its name, Genomics focuses on the development and application of cutting-edge methods, addressing fundamental questions with potential interest to a wide audience. Our aim is to publish the highest quality research and to provide authors with rapid, fair and accurate review and publication of manuscripts falling within our scope.
