Abstract

TGF‐β signaling pathway plays a key role in breast cancer metastasis. Recent studies suggest that TGF‐β regulates tumor progression and invasion not only via transcriptional regulation, but also via translational regulation. Using both bioinformatics and experimental tools, we identified a micropeptide CIP2A‐BP encoded by LINC00665, whose translation was downregulated by TGF‐β in breast cancer cell lines. Using TNBC cell lines, we showed that TGF‐β‐activated Smad signaling pathway induced the expression of translation inhibitory protein 4E‐BP1, which inhibited eukaryote translation initiation factor elF4E, leading to reduced translation of CIP2A‐BP from LINC00665. CIP2A‐BP directly binds tumor oncogene CIP2A to replace PP2A's B56γ subunit, thus releasing PP2A activity, which inhibits PI3K/AKT/NFκB pathway, resulting in decreased expression levels of MMP‐2, MMP‐9, and Snail. Downregulation of CIP2A‐BP in TNBC patients was significantly associated with metastasis and poor overall survival. In the MMTV‐PyMT model, either introducing CIP2A‐BP gene or direct injection of CIP2A‐BP micropeptide significantly reduced lung metastases and improved overall survival. In conclusion, we provide evidence that CIP2A‐BP is both a prognostic marker and a novel therapeutic target for TNBC.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
