Abstract:Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a secreted member of the Tumor Necrosis Factor family. In addition to the functional roles of OPG in bone metabolism and apoptosis, there is growing evidence of the tumor promoting role of OPG in breast cancer. We have previously shown OPG can promote the invasion and metastasis of triple negative breast cancer cells. To understand the regulation of OPG, we are investigating the molecular mechanisms that control OPG expression in breast cancer cells.
