Abstract
Anti-tumor drug resistance is a challenge for human triple-negative breast cancer treatment. Our previous work demonstrated that TNFAIP2 activates RAC1 to promote triple-negative breast cancer cell proliferation and migration. However, the mechanism by which TNFAIP2 activates RAC1 is unknown. In this study, we found that TNFAIP2 interacts with IQGAP1 and Integrin {beta}4. Integrin {beta}4 activates RAC1 through TNFAIP2 and IQGAP1 and confers DNA damage-related drug resistance in triple-negative breast cancer. These results indicate that the Integrin {beta}4/TNFAIP2/IQGAP1/RAC1 axis provides potential therapeutic targets to overcome DNA damage-related drug resistance in triple-negative breast cancer.
