SQSTM1/p62 regulate breast cancer progression and metastasis by inducing cell cycle arrest and regulating immune cell infiltration
摘要
Abstract
The autophagy adaptor protein SQSTM1/p62 is overexpressed in breast cancer and has been identified as a metastasis-related protein. However
the mechanism by which SQSTM1/p62 contributes to breast cancer progression and tumor microenvironment remains unclear. This study revealed that silencing
SQSTM1/p62
expression suppressed breast cancer progression via regulating cell proliferation and reshaping the tumor microenvironment (TME). Here
we found that SQSTM1/
p
62 was overexpressed in multiple human cancer tissue types and that was correlated with poor patient overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Moreover
we found that short-hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated knockdown of
