PPA1 Promotes Breast Cancer Proliferation and Metastasis Through PI3K/AKT/GSK3β Signaling Pathway.

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women. Inorganic pyrophosphatase 1 (PPA1) is a multifunctional protein involved in the development of several tumors. However, the role of PPA1 in breast cancer progression remains unclear. In this study, we found that PPA1 was highly expressed in breast cancer compared to its levels in normal breast tissue and that it was correlated with breast cancer clinicopathological characteristics, as well as poor survival in breast cancer patients. Silencing PPA1 restrained breast cancer proliferation and metastasis by regulating Slug-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Opposite results were observed following PPA1 overexpression. In addition, investigation of the underlying mechanism demonstrated that PPA1 ablation led to decrease pho
