Abstract Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most challenging subtype of breast cancer. Various endeavor has been made to explore the molecular biology basis of TNBC. Herein, we reported a novel function of factor Kinectin 1 (KTN1) as a carcinogenic promoter in TNBC. KTN1 expression in TNBC was increased compared with adjacent tissues or luminal or Her2 subtypes of breast cancer, and TNBC patients with high KTN1 expression have poor prognosis. In functional studies, knockdown of KTN1 inhibited the proliferation and invasiveness of TNBC both in vitro and in vivo, while overexpression of KTN1 promoted cancer cell proliferation and invasiveness. RNA-seq analysis revealed that the interaction of cytokine-cytokine receptor, particularly CXCL8 gene, was upregulated by KTN1, which was supported by the further experiments. CXCL8 depletion inhibited the tumorigenesis and progression of TNBC. Additionally, rescue experiments validated that KTN1-mediated cell growth acceleration in TNBC was dependent on CXCL8 both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, it was found that KTN1 enhanced the phosphorylation of NF-κB/p65 protein at Ser536 site, and specifically bound to NF-κB/p65 protein in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells. Moreover, the transcription of CXCL8 gene was directly upregulated by the complex of KTN1 and NF-κB/p65 protein. Taken together, our results elucidated a novel mechanism of KTN1 gene in TNBC tumorigenesis and progression. KTN1 may be a potential molecular target for the development of TNBC treatment. |
