Popis: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of HSF1 proteins on cell proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of breast cancer. The Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) HSF1-knocked down stable cell line (experimental group) and control cell line (control group) were obtained using a lentivirus assay, and the effects of HSF1 knockdown on the proliferation, tumor formation, apoptosis and invasion ability were analyzed, respectively. The effects of HSF1 on downstream signals were analyzed using western blotting. Western blotting results showed that lentivirus successfully established a HSF1 knockdown stable cell line of MCF-7. Compared with the control group, the growth rate of MCF-7 cells in the experimental group was significantly decreased (P
