Objective: To explore the influence and the underlying mechanism of vaspin (visceral adipose tissue-derived serpin) on the development of triple-negative breast malignancy.
Methods: First, we analyzed medical records and screened out 22 breast cancer patients with different BMI according to inclusion and exclusion criterion, and measured serum vaspin of those patients. Then we studied the effects of vaspin on TNBC cell lines by using EdU assay, colony formation, transwell and wound-healing assay. Later, we used bioinformatics analysis to identify downstream effectors and verify with qRT-PCR, luciferase assay, western blot, etc. RESULTS: We found the vaspin level was positively correlated with BMI in breast malignant patients and vaspin could significantly enhance the proliferation, infiltration and transferring of triple-negative breast cancer cells by restraining the expression of miR-33a-5p. By using bioinformatic analysis and luciferase assay, we identified miR-33a-5p directly regulating ABHD2.
Conclusion: Vaspin, as a cancer-promoting cytokine, may inhibit miR-33a-5p thus increasing the level of ABHD2 to promote the development of the triple-negative breast cancer.

Berberine (BBR) is an isoquinoline alkaloid with a variety of biological activities, including anti-microbial and anti-tumoral activities. However, the cellular targets of BBR and the roles of BBR in the radiosensitivity of breast cancer cells are not well defined. In this study, we investigated the effects of BBR on the radiosensitivity of BT549 triple-negative breast cancer cells.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) was a highly aggressive and metastatic subtype of breast cancer characterized by a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Clarifying the underlying molecular mechanisms was of significant clinical importance. In this study, we We plotted Kaplan-Meier survival curves based on data from the Human Cancer Database and found that elevated CYPJ expression increased patient mortality risk and decreased survival rates.

We previously screened a peptide PDBAG1 that remarkably inhibited triple-negative breast cancer, and found that its target was C1QBP. Recently, C1QBP has been reported as a potential tumor marker in ovarian cancer, which of the mortality rate ranks first among malignant tumors of the female reproductive tract. However, it is unclear whether and how PDBAG1 plays a regulatory role in ovarian cancer.
