Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we identified that Xanthohumol a natural compound effectively inhibits the BIG3(former name; ERAP1)-PHB2 interaction, resulting in suppression of estrogen (E2)-dependent tumor growth of breast cancer in vitro and in vivo. In addition, we discovered that the mechanism by which BIG3 blocks the nuclear translocation of PHB2 via interactions with KPNA1, 5, and 6, in estrogen receptor (ER) α-positive breast cancer cells. Moreover, we further demonstrated that BIG3 interacts serine/threonine protein phosphatase and dephosphorylates the E2-dependent phosphorylation of PHB2 in breast cancer cells. These findings can provide therapeutic strategies for controlling E2/ERα signals in breast cancer cells.
