TIPE3 protein promotes breast cancer metastasis through activating AKT and NF-κB signaling pathways.

ABSTRACT: TIPE3 (TNFAIP8L3) is the transfer protein of phosphoinositide second messengers that promote cancer. Its role in breast cancer has not been evaluated. We report here that TIPE3 protein was significantly upregulated in human breast cancer tissues as compared with adjacent non-tumor tissues from the same patients. The level of TIPE3 protein in invasive ductal carcinoma was significant higher than that in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and the level of TIPE3 in lymphatic metastasized carcinoma was higher than that in invasive ductal carcinoma from the same patients. Additionally, the level of TIPE3 protein was positively correlated with the level of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2), and TIPE3 expression was significantly higher in high-invasive breast cancer cell lines than
