Ursolic acid down-regulates ANXA6 and inhibits breast cancer cell growth and metastasis (PubMed, Zhonghua Yu Fang Yi Xue Za Zhi)
Overexpression of ANXA6 weakened the inhibitory effect of UA on the proliferation of 231 cells (P<0.05).The results of immunohistochemistry assay showed that the expression level of ANXA6 in breast cancer tissue was significantly increased, and the expression of ANXA6 was related to tumor size (P<0.05), but not to age, T stage, N stage, pathological grade, AJCC stage, ER, PR and E-cad. The expression level of ANXA6 in breast cancer tissues is increased, and UA can inhibit the growth, invasion and metastasis of 231 cells by down-regulating the expression of ANXA6.
