Title: Breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1) suppresses prostate cancer progression by inducing apoptosis and regulating invasion.
Abstract: Breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1) was originally identified as a metastasis suppressor gene in human breast cancer.A recent study has established an association between BRMS1 with the clinical stage and different pathology grades of prostate cancer. However, whether BRMS1 plays a role in prostate cancer has not been elucidated.In this study, we found that overexpression of BRMS1 in PC-3 cells induced apoptosis and inhibited invasion; moreover, we found that overexpression BRMS1 was associated with the suppressed expression of EMMPRIN.Taken together, our results show that BRMS1 may suppress progression and metastasis of prostate cancer through modulating EMMPRIN expression.
