Özet
Breast cancer, the most commonly diagnosed cancer type and the leading cause of cancer-associated deaths, is the major health issue among women worldwide. In many cancer types, the expression of the semaphorins and their receptors such as plexins and neuropilins are dysregulated. SEMA6D is a member of class-6 family transmembrane semaphorin proteins and acts through Plexin-A1 receptor. It was previously shown that overexpression of SEMA6D in breast cancer cell line MCF-7 leads to a reduction in proliferation and an increase in migration. On the other hand, in the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line, overexpression of SEMA6D had no significant effect on proliferation but enhanced migration. In this study, we aimed to analyze the effects of SEMA6D overexpression in normal breast cell line MCF10A and investigate the invasive behavior and transformation capacity of SEMA6D overexpressing breast cancer cell lines. We demonstrated that overexpression of SEMA6D leads to elevated proliferation, viability and migration in MCF10A cells, whereas it did not trigger their anchorage-independent growth. On the other hand, MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 cells stably expressing SEMA6D showed reduced colony formation in the soft-agar assay. Furthermore, the invasiveness of MDA-MB-231 cells was elevated with SEMA6D overexpression, whereas SEMA6D overexpression did not stimulate the invasiveness of MCF-7 cells through matrigel microenvironment, whereas slightly trigger invasion through bone microenvironment. In conclusion, SEMA6D overexpression has cell-specific effects on breast cancer. The exact role of SEMA6D in breast cancer development remains undefined and must be further investigated.
