Research shows that DUXAP8 is highly expressed in TNBC, and its silencing can inhibit TNBC cell proliferation and promote cell apoptosis. DUXAP8 interacts with miR-29a-3p to enhance the expression of SAPCD2. The transcription factor YY1 can bind to the DUXAP8 promoter, activating transcription of DUXAP8. YY1-induced transcriptional activation of DUXAP8 promotes TNBC cell growth through the miR-29a-3p/SAPCD2 axis.
Double homeobox A pseudogene 8 (DUXAP8) belongs to long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which has been proven to promote the biological processes of multiple human cancers. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. However, the specific role of lncRNA DUXAP8 and its underlying mechanism in TNBC remains to be unclear. We detected the expression of DUXAP8 in TNBC cells through qRT-PCR analysis. The effects of DUXAP8 silencing on TNBC cell proliferation and apoptosis were identified using CCK-8 assay, EdU assay, flow cytometry analysis and TUNEL assay. The downstream microRNA (miRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) of DUXAP8 were searched out through bioinformatics analysis and mechanism experiments. Rescue assays were conducted to verify the involvement of suppressor APC domain containing 2 (SAPCD2) in DUXAP8-mediated TNBC cell proliferation and apoptosis. DUXAP8 was highly expressed in TNBC cells compared to that in normal breast cells. Knockdown of DUXAP8 inhibited TNBC cell proliferation and accelerated cell apoptosis. DUXAP8 interacted with miR-29a-3p and thus enhanced the expression of SAPCD2. Moreover, YY1 transcription factor could bind to DUXAP8 promoter to activate the transcription of DUXAP8. YY1-induced transcriptional activation of DUXAP8 promotes TNBC cell growth through miR-29a-3p/SAPCD2 axis.
