Abstract:Objective: To investigate the effect of TAM on EMT in ER- GPER+ breast cancer cells and to discuss its signaling mechanism. Methods: ER- GPER+ breast cancer MDA-MB-468 cells were researched object. Cells were treated by TAM, intracellular GPER activity were inhibited by GPER specific inhibitor G15, GPER protein expression was interfered by siRNA , cell invasion ability was detected by invasion chamber experiment and western blot experiment was used to detect ERα, GPER, Vimentin, E-cadherin and N-cadherin protein expression changes. Results: TAM (5 μmol/L) could significantly enhance the invasion ability of MDA-MB-468 cells (P<0.01), and G15 (10 μmol/L) pretreatment could significantly inhibit TAM-induced cell invasion (P<0.01). GPER-siRNA could significantly interfere with the expression of GPER protein in MDA-MB-468 cells (P<0.01), and interference with GPER protein expression could effectively inhibit TAM-induced cell invasion (P<0.01). TAM treatment significantly induced up-regulation of Vimentin and N-cadherin protein expression (P<0.01) and down-regulation of E-cadherin protein expression (P<0.01). G15 pretreatment or interference with GPER protein expression could inhibit the above induction of TAM (P<0.05). Conclusion: TAM can induce EMT in ER-GPER+ breast cancer MDA-MB-468 cells, which is related to the activation of GPER.
