The role of PIWIL4 in breast cancer

ABSTRACT: PIWI proteins bind to PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and play key roles in the biogenesis and functions of piRNAs. It has been reported that PIWI proteins are essential for stem cell self-renewal and germline development in diverse organisms, and are ectopically expressed in multiple forms of cancer. However, the role of PIWI in cancer remains elusive. Here we report that one of the four PIWI proteins in humans, PIWIL4, is highly expressed in both breast cancer tissues and the cytoplasm of MDA-MB-231 cell line derived from breast cancer. Reducing PIWIL4 expression drastically impairs migration ability of MDA-MB-231 cells, significantly increases their apotosis, and mildly affects their proliferation. Our transcriptome and proteome analyses reveal that these functions are at least partially achieved via the PIWIL4 regulation of TGF-beta and FGF signaling pathways and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II proteins. These findings suggest that PIWIL4 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer.

Tang2019 - Pharmacology modelling of AURKB and ZAK interaction in TNBC

Project description:Aurora Kinase B and ZAK interaction model Equivalent of the stochastic model used in "Network pharmacology model predicts combined Aurora B and ZAK inhibition in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells" by Tang et. al. 2018. The only difference is cell division and partitioning of the components, which are available in the original model for SGNS2.

miRNA expression of extracellular vesicles

Project description:To further investigate the molecular mechanisms by which EVs mediated the abnormal localization of tight junction proteins and adherence junction protein, we performed miRNA microarray analysis of extracellular vesicles isolated from breast cancer cells. miRNA expression in extracellular vesicles was collected from MDA-MB-231-D3H1, MDA-MB-231-D3H2LN, BMD2a and BMD2b breast cancer cell lines.

Neuropilin-1 Knockout and Rescue Confirm its Role to Promote Metastasis in MDA-MB-231 Breast Cancer Cells

Project description:To investigate the function of Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing was used to knockout (KO) the NRP-1 gene in MDA-MB-231 human triple-negative breast cancer cells. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were determined in NRP-1 KO and parental MDA-MB-231 cells using whole transcriptome next-generation sequencing.
