Nrf3 promotes the proliferation and migration of triple‑negative breast cancer by activating PI3K/AKT/mTOR and epithelial‑mesenchymal transition.

ABSTRACT: Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 3 (Nrf3) is increasingly implicated in multiple types of cancer; however, its function in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the role of Nrf3 in TNBC. Compared with adjacent normal tissues, TNBC tissues expressed higher levels of Nrf3, and its expression was negatively correlated with survival time. Additionally, Nrf3 knockdown reduced the proliferation and migration of TNBC cells, whereas overexpression of Nrf3 had the opposite effects in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, functional enrichment of TNBC cells overexpressing Nrf3 allowed for the identification of numerous genes and pathways that were altered following Nrf3 overexpression. Further study showed that overexpression of Nrf3 activate
