The expression of linc-ITGB1 was significantly upregulated in both clinical breast cancer tissues and cultured breast cancer cell lines. Linc-ITGB1 depletion caused cell accumulation in the G0/G1 phase. Furthermore, the linc-ITGB1 knockdown decreased the expression of mesenchymal markers N-cadherin and vimentin while increasing the expression of the epithelial marker E-cadherin. Key cell cycle regulators Cdc25C and Cyclin B1 were also decreased by the linc-ITGB1 knockdown. These data suggest that linc-ITGB1 promotes breast cancer progression by inducing cell-cycle arrest and interrupting the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. |
