Title

Abstract

breast cancer

Previous studies have shown that the rate of breast cancer metastasis correlates with the expression of vacuolar H(+)-ATPases (V-ATPases). However, how V-ATPase is involved in breast cancer metastasis remains unknown. Our previous study showed that Atp6v1c1-depleted osteoclasts did not form organized actin rings and that Atp6v1c1 co-localizes with F-actin. In this study, we found that the normal arrangement of filamentous actin is disrupted in Atp6v1c1-depleted 4T1 mouse breast cancer cells and in the ATP6V1C1-depleted human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435s. We further found that Atp6v1c1 co-localizes with F-actin in 4T1 cells. The results of our study suggest that high expression of Atp6v1c1 affects the actin structure of cancer cells such that it facilitates breast cancer metastasis. The findings also indicate that Atp6v1c1 could be a novel target for breast cancer metastasis therapy.
