The present study aims to determine the role of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) signaling molecules in breast cancer metastasis. Our results reveal that GABAergic system exists in breast cancer cells. Both the GABA synthetic enzyme. (GAD65/67) and GABAB receptor are expressed in 4T1 mouse breast cancer cells, MCF-7 human breast cancer cells and human breast cancer tissue. Baclofen, a GABABR agonist, significantly promoted 4T1 cells invasion and migration in vitro and metastasis in vivo, an event that was attenuated by GABABR antagonist CGP55845. Baclofen-induced breast cancer metastasis was mediated by ERK1/2 pathway.
本研究旨在确定γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)信号分子在乳腺癌转移中的作用。我们的结果表明 GABA 能系统存在于乳腺癌细胞中。GABA 合成酶(GAD65/67)和 GABAB 受体均在 4T1 小鼠乳腺癌细胞、MCF-7 人乳腺癌细胞和人乳腺癌组织中表达。Baclofen,一种 GABABR 激动剂,显著促进了体外 4T1 细胞的侵袭和迁移以及体内转移,而 GABABR 拮抗剂 CGP55845 则减弱了这种作用。Baclofen 诱导的乳腺癌转移是通过 ERK1/2 途径介导的。
