BACKGROUND/AIM: SLC20A1 has been identified as a prognostic marker in ER+ breast cancer. However, the role of SLC20A1 expression in breast cancer subtypes other than the ER+ types remains unclear.
Genomics datasets were downloaded and analyzed, and the effect of SLC20A1 knockdown using targeted siRNA on cell viability and tumor-sphere formation was assessed.
SLC20A1 patients with ER+, claudin-low or basal-like breast cancers showed poor prognoses. SLC20A1 patients treated with radiotherapy had poor clinical outcomes. SLC20A1 knockdown suppressed the viability of MDA-MB 231 (claudin-low), MDA-MB 468 (basal-like) and MCF-7 (ER+) cells, and tumor-sphere formation by ALDH1 cells. These results suggest that SLC20A1 is involved in cancer progression and contributes to clinical outcomes in patients with ER+, claudin-low and basal-like breast cancers.
SLC20A1 is a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target in ER+, claudin-low and basal-like breast cancers.
背景/目的:SLC20A1 已被确定为 ER+ 乳腺癌的预后标志物。然而,SLC20A1 表达在 ER+ 类型以外的乳腺癌亚型中的作用尚不清楚。
下载并分析基因组数据集,并使用靶向 siRNA 评估 SLC20A1 敲低对细胞活力和肿瘤球体形成的影响。
SLC20A1 患者的 ER+、claudin-low 或基底样乳腺癌预后不良。接受放疗的 SLC20A1 患者临床结局不佳。SLC20A1 敲低抑制了 MDA-MB 231(claudin-low)、MDA-MB 468(基底样)和 MCF-7(ER+)细胞的活力,以及 ALDH1 细胞的肿瘤球体形成。这些结果表明,SLC20A1 参与了癌症的进展,并导致 ER+、claudin-low 和基底样乳腺癌患者的临床结局不良。
SLC20A1 是 ER+、claudin-low 和基底样乳腺癌的潜在预后标志物和治疗靶点。
