The diversity in the expression profile of caveolin II transcripts, considering its new transcript in breast cancer

Abstract

Most studies have revealed the effects of caveolins in cancer inhibition. However, due to a lack of reports about their new transcripts, their presence and their effects on different cancers are unclear. This study was conducted to evaluate the cavolin-2 (cav-2) transcripts expression changes in tumoral and corresponding tissues and in contralateral breast, to investigate their variation associated with the variation of caveolin-1 (cav-1) expression in breast cancer. There were 40 breast-derived tumoral, corresponding, and contralateral tissues obtained from the patients with breast cancer. The RNA and proteins were extracted from these samples. So, cav-1 and cav-2 transcripts' variation were assessed in whole tumoral, corresponding, and contralateral breast. Also, their expression modifications were evaluated via the Western blotting technique. The results derived from this study verified the presence of transcript III of cav-2 for the first time, which was reported only in the gene bank, but we could not detect and validate any protein associated with these transcripts. Also, the decreasing trend of cav-1 and the cav-2 (transcripts I and II) were observed in tumoral tissues compared to unaffected tissues especially in stages I and II. It seems that the descending expression levels of cav-1 and cav-2 (transcript I, II) besides the lasting expression of cav-2 (transcript III) are associated with the incidence and promotion of breast cancer, especially in the initial stages of breast cancer. So, this may show a potential in determining the patients who can undergo the prophylactic mastectomy. Moreover, the results of the study demonstrated that transcript III may be a candidate as a non-coding RNA.

The Relationship of Pre and Early Postnatal Risk Factors with Breast Cancer

“…These are not the only risk factors, also the psychospiritual and social factors will affect the fetus as well as his/her mom (Ariana et al, 2018;Akbari et al, 2016). Our study did not prove the effect of this aspect of health, which may be due to the shortage of number of cases.…”

Downregulation of HDAC2 and HDAC3 via oleuropein as a potent prevention and therapeutic agent in MCF‐7 breast cancer cells

“…Breast cancer is the most common neoplastic malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer‐related deaths among females in developing countries . At present, a large percentage of breast cancer patients are treated with different therapeutic approaches such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy . However, chemotherapy may have some adverse side effects such as toxicity, tissue damage in healthy organs, and also the development of drug resistance .…”

Clinical Significance of the Histone Deacetylase 2 (HDAC-2) Expression in Human Breast Cancer

“…As much as 30% of all cancers derive from the breast tissue and it is the second cause of cancer death in women following lung cancer in developed countries [ 30 , 31 ]. Diverse therapeutic methods are currently being used to treat patients, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ]. These methods do have side effects, including toxicity and drug resistance [ 36 ].…”
