ABSTRACT

Forkhead box K1 (FOXK1) is members of the FOX transcription factor family. Previous work has found out that FOXK1 promotes cell proliferation, migration and invasion in several cancers, such as gastric cancer, glioma cancer and lung cancer; however, the exact role of FOXK1 in breast cancer is still poorly known. Here, the association between FOXK1 expression and the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with breast cancer was identified. To further decipher the functional roles of FOXK1, it was overexpressed or knocked down in MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-10A cells. Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation and cell cycle assays were performed to examine the proliferation of breast cancer cells. Moreover, wound-healing and Transwell invasion analyses were carried out to explore the effect of FOXK1 on breast cancer cell migration and invasion. Our findings discovered that FOXK1 promotes cell proliferation, migration and invasion in breast cancer. In addition, consistent with the previous report, FOXK1 also facilitates EMT in breast cancer. TargetScan was used to predict up-stream of FOXK1, indicating that miR-365-3p could regulate FOXK1 expression in breast cancer. The findings of the present study demonstrated that miR-365-3p-FOXK1 axis plays a key role in breast cancer.
