Mouse | EZR | 7430 | ezrin | Together, these results suggest that blocking ezrin function may represent a novel and effective strategy for preventing breast cancer metastasis. CONCLUSION : Our findings indicate that ezrin is required for breast cancer metastasis, and that c-Src and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt are effectors of ezrin in the cell motility and invasion stages of the metastatic process. | Human | SCGB3A1 | 92304 | secretoglobin, family 3A, member 1 | To characterize molecular alterations in breast cancer metastasis, we investigated the frequency of hypermethylation of five genes (Cyclin D2, RAR-beta, Twist, RASSF1A, and HIN-1) in metastasis to four common sites: lymph node, bone, brain, and lung. | Human | INHBE | 83729 | inhibin, beta E | We, therefore, examined the gene expression pattern of the TGF-beta family members (inhibin/activin betaA subunit (activin betaA), inhibin alpha subunit, and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)), the TNF family members (receptor activator of NF-KB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG)), and osteopontin (OPN) in normal, non-invasive, invasive, and metastatic human breast cancer specimens. | Human | BRMS1 | 25855 | breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 | Taken together, these results implicate signaling through phosphoinositides in the regulation of breast cancer metastasis, specifically metastasis that can be suppressed by BRMS1. Expression of the breast cancer metastasis suppressor gene, BRMS1, in human breast carcinoma: lack of correlation with metastasis to axillary lymph nodes. Predisposition to efficient mammary tumor metastatic progression is linked to the breast cancer metastasis suppressor gene Brms1. BRMS1 (breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1) was recently identified as a novel breast cancer metastasis suppressor gene. We explored cell-to-cell communication between 435 carcinoma cells and a human osteoblastic cell line, hFOB1.19, to determine whether carcinoma cells can form gap junctions with bone cells and to explore the role of these heterotypic gap junctions and the BRMS1 gene in breast cancer metastasis to bone. | Human | WASL | 8976 | Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome-like | Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), small Rho GTPases, such as Cdc42 and Rac1, and neuronal Wiskott Aldrich syndrome protein (N-WASP) are key effectors that regulate dynamic changes in the actin cytoskeleton and cell migration. uPA- and EGF-stimulated chemotaxis, cytoskeletal rearrangements and activation of Cdc42, Rac1 and N-WASP were studied in the highly metastatic human breast cancer cell line MDA MB 231. uPA- and EGF-stimulated chemotaxis, cytoskeletal rearrangements and activation of Cdc42, Rac1 and N-WASP were studied in the highly metastatic human breast cancer cell line MDA MB 231. | Human | TNFSF11 | 8600 | tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 11 | BACKGROUND: Breast cancer metastasis to bone causes resorption of the mineralized matrix by osteoclasts.Macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF)and receptor activator of the NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) are produced by stromal cells and are essential for osteoclast formation. We, therefore, examined the gene expression pattern of the TGF-beta family members (inhibin/activin betaA subunit (activin betaA), inhibin alpha subunit, and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)), the TNF family members (receptor activator of NF-KB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG)), and osteopontin (OPN) in normal, non-invasive, invasive, and metastatic human breast cancer specimens. RANKL has a role in breast carcinoma metastasis | Human | CXCR4 | 7852 | chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 | Click here to display 17 evidence detail records. | Human | WNT5A | 7474 | wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 5A | We show here that NFAT1, a transcription factor connected with breast cancer metastasis, is activated by Wnt-5a through a Ca(2+) signaling pathway in human breast epithelial cells. | Human | EZR | 7430 | ezrin | However, the role played by ezrin in breast cancer metastasis has not been clearly delineated. | Human | THBS1 | 7057 | thrombospondin 1 | Increased expression is associated with breast tumor metastasis | Human | TFF1 | 7031 | trefoil factor 1 | The pNR-2 mRNA is regulated by oestrogens in cell lines established from metastatic human breast cancer cells. | Human | SPP1 | 6696 | secreted phosphoprotein 1 | Increased expression is associated with breast tumor metastasis | Human | SNCG | 6623 | synuclein, gamma (breast cancer-specific protein 1) | When over expressed, BCSG1 significantly stimulates breast cancer metastasis. | Human | CCL21 | 6366 | chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 21 | Their respective ligands CXCL12/SDF-1alpha and CCL21/6Ckine exhibit peak levels of expression in organs representing the first destinations of breast cancer metastasis. | Human | S100A4 | 6275 | S100 calcium binding protein A4 | S100A4 regulates cell motility and invasion in an in vitro model for breast cancer metastasis. | Human | MAP2K1 | 5604 | mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 | Using PD98059, an inhibitor of the ERK-kinase MEK1, we have here assessed the effects of ERK inhibition on the pattern of protein expression in the metastatic human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. | Human | TNFRSF11B | 4982 | tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 11b | We, therefore, examined the gene expression pattern of the TGF-beta family members (inhibin/activin betaA subunit (activin betaA), inhibin alpha subunit, and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)), the TNF family members (receptor activator of NF-KB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG)), and osteopontin (OPN) in normal, non-invasive, invasive, and metastatic human breast cancer specimens. | Human | NME1 | 4830 | NME/NM23 nucleoside diphosphate kinase 1 | We summarize published and recent research concerning the nm23 gene in breast cancer metastasis. We searched for well-tolerated compounds that could elevate Nm23 metastasis suppressor expression in metastatic human breast cancer cell lines. Nm23 and breast cancer metastasis. The nm23-H1 and p53 genes have been involved in the development of breast cancer metastasis. In the present investigation, we used cDNA microarrays to identify novel genes and functional pathways in nm23-mediated spontaneous breast metastasis. | Human | LOX | 4015 | lysyl oxidase | We identified previously an up-regulation in lysyl oxidase (LOX) expression,an extracellular matrix remodeling enzyme, in a highly invasive/metastatic human breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231, compared with MCF-7, a poorly invasive/nonmetastatic breast cancer cell line. | Human | LASP1 | 3927 | LIM and SH3 protein 1 | MLN 50 was previously identified in a cDNA library of breast cancer metastasis. | Human | KIF22 | 3835 | kinesin family member 22 | [Expression and clinical significance of KNSL4 in breast cancer] BACKGROUND _amp_ OBJECTIVE: Previous screening of breast cancer metastasis-related genes found that the mRNA level of kinesin-like 4 (KNSL4) gene is down-regulated in metastatic lymph nodes as compared with the paired primary breast cancer. | Human | ITGAV | 3685 | integrin, alpha V | Integrin alpha V beta 3 expression by bone-residing breast cancer metastases. | Human | INHA | 3623 | inhibin, alpha | We, therefore, examined the gene expression pattern of the TGF-beta family members (inhibin/activin betaA subunit (activin betaA), inhibin alpha subunit, and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)), the TNF family members (receptor activator of NF-KB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG)), and osteopontin (OPN) in normal, non-invasive, invasive, and metastatic human breast cancer specimens. | Human | IGF1R | 3480 | insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor | We found that the functional disruption of IGF-1R markedly influences breast cancer metastasis in nude mice by suppressing cellular adhesion, invasion, and metastasis of breast cancer cells to the lung, lymph nodes, and lymph vessels.
