Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a type of breast cancer with poor prognosis, and has no ideal therapeutic target and ideal medicine. Downregulation of JWA is closely related to the poor overall survival in many cancers including TNBC. In this study, we reported at the first time that JWA gene activating compound 1 (JAC1) inhibited the proliferation of TNBC in vitro and in vivo experimental models. JAC1 specifically bound to YY1 and eliminated its transcriptional inhibition of JWA gene. The rescued JWA induced G1 phase arrest and apoptosis in TNBC cells through the p38 MAPK signaling pathway. JAC1 also promoted ubiquitination and degradation of YY1. In addition, JAC1 disrupted the interaction between YY1 and HSF1, and suppressed the oncogenic role of HSF1 in TNBC through p-Akt signaling pathway. In conclusion, JAC1 suppressed the proliferation of TNBC through the JWA/P38 MAPK signaling and YY1/HSF1/p-Akt signaling. JAC1 maybe a potential therapeutic agent for TNBC.
