BAIAP2L1 accelerates breast cancer progression and chemoresistance by activating AKT signaling through binding with ribosomal protein L3.

ABSTRACT: BAI1-associated protein 2-like 1 (BAIAP2L1), also known as insulin receptor tyrosine kinase substrate, modulates the insulin network; however, its function in breast cancer has not been explored. Immunohistochemical analysis of 140 breast cancer specimens (77 triple-negative and 63 nontriple-negative cases) indicated that BAIAP2L1 expression was higher in breast cancer tissues (56/140, 40%) than in normal breast tissues (28.3%, 15/53; p < 0.001). BAIAP2L1 expression in breast cancer was correlated with triple-negative breast cancer (p = 0.0013), advanced TNM stage (p = 0.001), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.001), and poor patient prognosis (p = 0.001). BAIAP2L1 overexpression could accelerate breast cancer proliferation, invasion, and stemness in vivo and in vitro, possibly through the activ
