    Abstract Background: Arginine plays significant and contrasting roles in breast cancer growth and survival. However, the factors governing arginine balance remain poorly characterized.
    Objective: We aimed to identify the molecule that governs arginine metabolism in breast cancer and to elucidate its significance.
    Methods: We analyzed the correlation between the expression of solute carrier family 7 member 3 (SLC7A3), the major arginine transporter, and breast cancer survival in various databases, including GEPIA, UALCAN, Metascape, String, Oncomine, KM-plotter, CBioPortal and Prognosis. Additionally, we validated our findings through bioinformatic analyses and experimental investigations, including colony formation, wound healing, transwell, and mammosphere formation assays.
    Results: Our analysis revealed a significant reduction in SLC7A3 expression in all breast cancer subtypes compared to adjacent breast tissues. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses demonstrated that high SLC7A3 expression was positively associated with decreased nodal metastasis (HR=0.70, 95% CI [0.55, 0.89]), ER positivity (HR=0.79, 95% CI [0.65, 0.95]), and HER2 negativity (HR=0.69, 95% CI [0.58, 0.82]), and increased recurrence-free survival. Moreover, low SLC7A3 expression predicted poor prognosis in breast cancer patients for overall survival. Additionally, the knockdown of SLC7A3 in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells resulted in increased cell proliferation and invasion in vitro.
    Conclusion: Our findings indicate a downregulation of SLC7A3 expression in breast cancer tissues compared to adjacent breast tissues. High SLC7A3 expression could serve as a prognostic indicator for favorable outcomes in breast cancer patients due to its inhibitory effects on breast cancer cell proliferation and invasion.

    Abstract Purpose: The potential of targeting forkhead box C1 (FOXC1) as a therapeutic approach for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is promising. However, a comprehensive understanding of FOXC1 regulation, particularly upstream factors, remains elusive. Expression of the L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM), a transmembrane glycoprotein associated with brain metastasis, was observed to be positively associated with FOXC1 transcripts. Thus, this study aims to investigate their relationship in TNBC progression.
    Methods: Publicly available FOXC1 and L1CAM transcriptomic data were obtained, and their corresponding proteins were analyzed in four TNBC cell lines. In BT549 cells, FOXC1 and L1CAM were individually silenced, while L1CAM was overexpressed in BT549-shFOXC1, MDA-MB-231, and HCC1937 cells. CCK-8, transwell, and wound healing assays were performed in these cell lines, and immunohistochemical staining was conducted in tumor samples.
    Results: A positive correlation between L1CAM and FOXC1 transcripts was observed in publicly available datasets. In BT549 cells, knockdown of FOXC1 led to reduced L1CAM expression at both the transcriptional and protein levels, and conversely, silencing of L1CAM decreased FOXC1 protein levels, but interestingly, FOXC1 transcripts remained largely unaffected. Overexpressing L1CAM resulted in increased FOXC1 protein expression without significant changes in FOXC1 mRNA levels. This trend was also observed in BT549-shFOXC1, MDA-MB-231-L1CAM, and HCC1937-L1CAM cells. Notably, alterations in FOXC1 or L1CAM levels corresponded to changes in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion capacities. Furthermore, a positive correlation between L1CAM and FOXC1 protein expression was detected in human TNBC tumors.
    Conclusion: FOXC1 and L1CAM exhibit co-regulation at the protein level, with FOXC1 regulating at the transcriptional level and L1CAM regulating at the post-transcriptional level, and together they positively influence cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in TNBC.

    Abstract The transcription factor forkhead box C1 (FOXC1) has recently been proposed as a crucial regulator of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and associated with TNBC metastasis. However, the mechanism of FOXC1 in TNBC development and metastasis is elusive. In this study, overexpression of FOXC1 in MDA-MB-231 cells significantly enhanced, whereas knockdown of FOXC1 in BT549 cells significantly reduced, the capabilities of TNBC cell invasion and motility in vitro and metastasis to the lung in vivo, when compared to their respective control cells. Mechanistic studies revealed that FOXC1 increased the expression of CXC chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4), probably through transcriptional activation. AMD3100, an inhibitor of CXCR4, could block cell migration. In a zebrafish tumor model, AMD3100 could suppress cell invasion and metastasis. In addition, overexpressing CXCR4 in FOXC1-knockdown BT549 cells increased the capabilities of TNBC cell invasion and motility. In contrast, inhibition of CXCR4 with either AMD3100 or siRNA in MDA-MB-231 cells overexpressing FOXC1 reduced the capabilities of invasion and motility. Taken together, our results reveal a potential mechanism for FOXC1-induced TNBC metastasis.

    Abstract Background: Aldolase A (ALDOA) is one of the glycolytic enzymes primarily found in the developing embryo and adult muscle. Recently, a new role of ALDOA in several cancers has been proposed. However, the underlying mechanism remains obscure and inconsistent. In this study, we tried to investigate ALDOA-associated (AA) genes using available microarray datasets to help elucidating the role of ALDOA in cancer.
    Results: In the dataset of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC, E-GEOD-19188), 3448 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) including ALDOA were identified, in which 710 AA genes were found to be positively associated with ALDOA. Then according to correlation coefficients between each pair of AA genes, ALDOA-associated gene co-expression network (GCN) was constructed including 182 nodes and 1619 edges. 11 clusters out of GCN were detected by ClusterOne plugin in Cytoscape, and only 3 of them have more than three nodes. These three clusters were functionally enriched. A great number of genes (43/79, 54.4%) in the biggest cluster (Cluster 1) primarily involved in biological process like cell cycle process (
    Conclusions: ALDOA could contribute to the progress of cancer, at least partially through its association with genes relevant to cell cycle independent of glycolysis. AA genes plus ALDOA represent a potential new signature for development and prognosis in several cancers.
