Over-expression of FSIP1 promotes breast cancer progression and confers resistance to docetaxel via MRP1 stabilization.

ABSTRACT: Fibrous sheath-interacting protein 1 (FSIP1) functions centrally in breast carcinogenesis and progression, although its exact role remains to be clarified. Therefore, we sought to establish a correlation between the clinico-pathological features of breast cancer and FSIP1 expression in breast cancer tissues, as well as to validate its role in tumor progression and chemo-resistance. We analyzed FSIP1 expression in the breast cancer and para-tumor tissues by immunohistochemistry. We performed MTT, Caspase-Glo 3/7 Assay, Annexin V staining, wound healing and trans-well assays to evaluate cellular apoptosis, proliferation, migration and invasion in FSIP1 knockout and wild-type breast cancer cell lines. Additionally, we examined the effects of FSIP1 on docetaxel sensitivity in a nude mice model
