HOXD8 acts as an apoptotic inducer to suppress tumor progression in triple-negative breast cancer. It was found to be reduced in TNBC tissues and overexpression of HOXD8 promoted tumor cell progression while inhibiting apoptosis. In vivo experiments showed that HOXD8 overexpression inhibited tumor growth, potentially through repression of AKT/mTOR pathway.
HOXD8 (Homeobox D8) functions as an apoptotic inducer to suppress tumor progression. However, the role of HOXD8 in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has not been fully understood. Firstly, HOXD8 was found to be reduced in TNBC tissues based on the TCGA samples through Ualcan (http://ualcan.path.uab. edu/analysis.html) prediction. Moreover, data from qRT-PCR and western blot confirmed the lower expression of HOXD8 in the TNBC tissues or cells than that in paracancerous tissues or human mammary epithelial cell line (MCF10A), respectively. Secondly, pcDNA-mediated over-expression of HOXD8 were conducted in TNBC cells, and the gain-of functional assays showed that over-expression of HOXD8 promoted TNBC cell progression with repressed cell apoptosis and induced proliferation, migration and invasion. Moreover, xenografted mouse model was constructed by injection of tumor cell line with stable over-expression of HOXD8 to assess the in vivo tumor growth, and the results revealed that overexpression of HOXD8 inhibited tumor growth. Lastly, our results showed that AKT and mTOR phosphorylation were repressed by HOXD8 over-expression in TNBC cells. In conclusion, HOXD8 functioned as an apoptotic inducer to suppress TNBC cell growth and progression by inhibition of AKT/ mTOR pathway.
