NCoA3 upregulation in breast cancer‑associated adipocytes elicits an inflammatory profile.

ABSTRACT: Nuclear receptor coactivator 3 (NCoA3) is a transcriptional coactivator of NF‑κB and other factors, which is expressed at relatively low levels in normal cells and is amplified or overexpressed in several types of cancer, including breast tumors. NCoA3 levels have been shown to be decreased during adipogenesis; however, its role in tumor‑surrounding adipose tissue (AT) remains unknown. Therefore, the present study assessed the modulation of NCoA3 in breast cancer‑associated adipocytes and evaluated its association with the expression of inflammatory markers. 3T3‑L1 adipocytes were stimulated with conditioned medium from human breast cancer cell lines and the expression levels of NCoA3 were evaluated by reverse transcription‑quantitative (q)PCR. NF‑κB activation was measured by immunofluore
