Abstract
SLC26A9 is a member of the Slc26a family of multifunctional anion transporters that function as Cl− channels in the stomach. We reported for the first time that SLC26A9 is involved in gastric tumorigenesis. However, the role of SLC26A9 in breast cancer has not yet been investigated. We first demonstrated that the upregulation of SLC26A9 is associated with the clinicopathological progression and poor prognosis of patients with breast cancer and is positively correlated with HER2 amplification. SLC26A9 alters the proliferation, migration, and invasion potential of breast cancer cells by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. SLC26A9 acts as an oncogene in the development of breast cancer. These findings provide valuable insights for the development of future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for BC.
期刊介绍:
BBA Molecular Cell Research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of cellular processes at the molecular level. These include aspects of cellular signaling, signal transduction, cell cycle, apoptosis, intracellular trafficking, secretory and endocytic pathways, biogenesis of cell organelles, cytoskeletal structures, cellular interactions, cell/tissue differentiation and cellular enzymology. Also included are studies at the interface between Cell Biology and Biophysics which apply for example novel imaging methods for characterizing cellular processes.
