Analyses of an epigenetic switch involved in the activation of pioneer factor FOXA1 leading to the prognostic value of estrogen receptor and FOXA1 co-expression in breast cancer.
Functional Variant rs4442975 Modulating FOXA1 Binding Affinity Can Influence Bone Marrow Suppression during Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Luminal A Type Breast Cancer.
Further, we demonstrated that FOXA1 attenuation was involved in transcriptional downregulation of proapoptotic Bim and thus suppressed breast cancer cell apoptosis.
Breast cancer metastases (n = 164) from various anatomical sites were retrospectively analyzed by immunohistochemistry for FOXA1, Nestin and GATA3 expression.
Through <i>in vitro</i> examination of the expression pattern at both transcriptional and translational levels, patient relapse-free survival analysis, immunohistochemistry staining and prediction power assessment using clinical samples, as well as functional studies, we systematically compared the role of FOXA1 in identifying triple negative and luminal type of breast cancers and explored the mechanisms driving such functionalities.
Altered FOXA1 levels contribute to endocrine-resistant breast cancer, where it maintains ER-chromatin interactions, even in contexts in which cells are refractory to ER-targeted drugs.
This is in line with other studies suggesting these SNPs as risk-associated polymorphisms which may lead to a change in the affinity of FOXA1, as a distal enhancer, to <i>TOX3</i> and thus change in <i>TOX3</i> expression, which can eventually affect the risk of breast cancer.
The analysis revealed already well-established associations with XBP1 and FOXA1, but also identified a strong association with CT62, a potential immunotherapeutic target with few previous associations with breast cancer.
It was found that forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1) is abnormally expressed in various tumors, such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and is closely related to tumorigenesis.
Biological assays indicated that the germline G>T variation at rs6506689 creates a FOXA1-binding site and up-regulates the expression of RAB31, thus playing an important role in the development of BC.
Here in this study, we aimed to identify which are the proteins that could potentially control FOXA1 function in breast cancer cell lines expressing different molecular markers.
Ultrasound assisted gene and photodynamic synergistic therapy with multifunctional FOXA1-siRNA loaded porphyrin microbubbles for enhancing therapeutic efficacy for breast cancer.
FOXA1 was found increased in metastatic breast cancers in relation to the primary tumor, but a comprehensive clinical assessment thereof, in relation to different metastatic sites and endocrine therapy usage, is currently lacking.
Particularly, our model correctly prioritized SNPs that are proved to be enriched for the binding sites of FOXA1 in breast cancer cell lines from previous studies.
In contrast, constitutive (MYC, TBX3) and signal-induced (TP53, FOXA1) DB-TFs that do not mediate default repression are directly altered in breast cancer.
