Abstract: Objective The aims of this study were to investigate the effect of FSIP1 expression in breast cancer tissues on the migration and invasion ability of breast cancer cells,and its relationship with the prognosis of breast cancer patients,so as to provide certain theoretical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Methods The breast tissue samples and case data of 404 breast cancer patients diagnosed in Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital from January 2004 to December 2018 were collected.The collected data of breast cancer patients were retrospectively analyzed and the survival curve was plotted by Kaplan-Meier method.Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the expression of FSIP1 in breast cancer and adjacent tissues,and breast cancer MCF-7,MDA-MB-231,MDA-MB-435,SK-BR-3,T-47D and HMECs(MCF-10A)cell lines were cultured.The FSIP1 gene in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and SK-BR-3 cell lines was knocked out using CRISPR/CAS9 technology and detected by Western blot.The effect of FSIP1 gene knockout on migration and invasion abilities of breast cancer cells was evaluated through cell migration and invasion assays. Results Compared with HMECs(MCF-10A),the expression of FSIP1 in breast cancer MCF-7,MDA-MB-231,MDA-MB-435,SK-BR-3,and T-47D cell lines was significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with adjacent breast tissues,the expression of FSIP1 in breast cancer tissues was significantly increased(P<0.01).Survival analysis showed that the overall survival of breast cancer patients with the high expression of FSIP1 was significantly shortened(P<0.01).The expression of FSIP1 was correlated with the clinical stage of breast cancer(P=0.0061)and the expression of cell proliferation marker-Ki-67(P=0.0067).The results of migration and invasion experiments showed that after knocking out the FSIP1 gene,the migration and invasion capabilities of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and SK-BR-3 cells were significantly reduced(P<0.01). Conclusion The high expression of FSIP1 in breast cancer cells can enhance their migration and invasion capabilities,and is correlated with the poor prognosis of patients.
