Metabolic/hypoxial axis predicts tamoxifen resistance in breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: We sought in our cross-sectional study to investigate the role of metabolic/hypoxial axis in the development of tamoxifen (TMX) resistance in BC patients. Quantification of plasma LncRNA Taurine upregulated-1 (TUG-1), miRNA 186-5p (miR-186), serum Sirtuin-3 (SIRT3), Peroxisome Proliferator Activator Receptor alpha (PPAR-1 α) and Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1 (HIF-1α) was done in a cohort of patients divided into TMX-sensitive and TMX-resistant candidates. Multiple logistic regression and Receiver Operating Characteristic curve were developed for significant predictors. Plasma TUG-1 and miR-186 were significantly elevated in TMX resistant patients. Serum proteins SIRT3, PPAR-1 α and HIF-1α were deficient in TMX resistant patients compared to TMX sensitive patients, respectively. miR-186 was as
