摘　　要：ERα36,a variant of estrogen receptor-α,acts as a dominant-negative factor in both estrogen-dependent and estrogen-independent transactivation signaling pathways,and is a key factor in the promotion,progression and prognosis of breast cancers.Caveolin-1,a 22-to 24-kD integral membrane protein,may function as a tumor suppressor in inhibiting of many growth-promoting signaling pathways.It was shown that downregulation of Caveolin-1 strengthens the interaction of ERα and Caveolin-1.In conclusion,Caveolin-1 gene silencing activated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in an ERα36-dependent way.Our finding may provide a promising therapeutic target of breast cancer.ERα36,a variant of estrogen receptor-α,acts as a dominant-negative factor in both estrogen-dependent and estrogen-independent transactivation signaling pathways,and is a key factor in the promotion,progression and prognosis of breast cancers.Caveolin-1,a 22-to 24-kD integral membrane protein,may function as a tumor suppressor in inhibiting of many growth-promoting signaling pathways.It was shown that downregulation of Caveolin-1 strengthens the interaction of ERα and Caveolin-1.In conclusion,Caveolin-1 gene silencing activated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in an ERα36-dependent way.Our finding may provide a promising therapeutic target of breast cancer.
