title: Expression of cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A in human triple negative breast cancer correlates with tumor survival, invasion and autophagy.
abstract: Cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) is a recently characterized oncoprotein which is involved in the progression of several human malignancies. The present study aimed to investigate its biological function in human triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The expression of CIP2A in TNBC cells was examined and it was observed that CIP2A was elevated in the TNBC cell line compared with poorly invasive breast cancer cells. CIP2A depletion in TNBC cell lines inhibited proliferation, and induced apoptosis and autophagy. In addition, CIP2A depletion inhibited invasion and migration of TNBC cells. Furthermore, CIP2A depletion downregulated Akt/mTOR/P70S6K phosphorylation. These results validate the role of CIP2A as a invasion-associated oncoprotein and established CIP2A as a promising therapeutic target of TNBC.
