Abstract

IntroductionExtracellular Matrix Protein 1 (ECM1) is a secreted glycoprotein with putative functions in cell proliferation, angiogenesis and differentiation. Expression of ECM1 in several types of carcinoma suggests that it may promote tumor development. In this study, we investigated the role of ECM1 in oncogenic cellular signaling in breast cancer, and potential mechanisms for its effects.MethodsIn order to find out the functional role of ECM1, we used the recombinant human ECM1 and viral transduction systems which stably regulated the expression level of ECM1. We examined the effect of ECM1 on cell proliferation and cellular signalings in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, tissues and sera of patients with breast cancer were used to confirm the effect of ECM1.ResultsECM1 protein was increased in trastuzumab-resistant (TR) cells, in association with trastuzumab resistance and cell proliferation. Through physical interaction with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), ECM1 potentiated the phosphorylation of EGFR and extracellular signal-regulated kinase upon EGF treatment. Moreover, ECM1-induced galectin-3 cleavage through up-regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-9 not only improved mucin-1 expression, but also increased EGFR and human epidermal growth factor receptor-3 protein stability as a secondary signaling.ConclusionsECM1 has important roles in both cancer development and trastuzumab resistance in breast cancer through activation of EGFR signaling.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 December 2021.
All research outputs
#8,262,445
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Breast Cancer Research
#944
of 2,053 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#107,540
of 368,239 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Breast Cancer Research
#20
of 51 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 66th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,053 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 368,239 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 51 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its contemporaries.
