Abstract
Metastasis accounts for almost 90% of breast cancer-related fatalities, making it frequent malignancy and the main reason of tumor mortality globally among women. LSD1 is a histone demethylase, which plays an important role in breast cancer. In order to explore the effect of LSD1 on invasion and migration of breast cancer, we treated breast cancer cells with MCF7 and T47D exosomes knocked down by LSD1, and the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells were significantly enhanced. This phenomenon indicates that LSD1 can inhibit the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells. miR-1290 expression was downregulated in LSD1 knockdown MCF7 exosomes. By analyzing the database of miR-1290 target gene NAT1, we verified that miR-1290 could regulate the expression of NAT1. These data provide fresh insights into the biology of breast cancer therapy by demonstrating how the epigenetic factor LSD1 stimulates the breast cancer cells' invasion and migration via controlling exosomal miRNA.
