Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | breast cancer |
| ICD-0-3 | C50 |
| Methods | qPCR etc. |
| Sample | breast cancer tissues |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | We found that treatment with macrophage CM induced the expression of numerous lncRNAs, including urothelial cancer associated 1 (UCA1). Knockdown of UCA1 using shRNA inhibited AKT phosphorylation and abolished invasiveness of tumor cells induced by macrophage CM. Consistent with these results; we further showed that UCA1 level was significantly enhanced in human primary breast tumors and correlated with advanced clinical stage, supporting its role in promoting carcinogenesis and progression of breast cancer |
