Fatty acidity binding protein 5 (FABP5) an intracellular lipid binding protein has been proven to play a role in various cancers including breast cancer. murine breast cancer cells. FABP5 loss in TNBC tumor cells Pectolinarigenin inhibited motility and invasion. Mechanistic studies revealed that FABP5 knockdown in TNBC cells results in decreased EGFR expression and FABP5 is important for EGF-induced metastatic signaling. Loss of FABP5 leads to proteasomal targeting of EGFR. Our studies show that FABP5 has a role in both host and tumor cell during breast cancer progression. These findings suggest that FABP5 mediates its enhanced effect on TNBC metastasis in part through EGFR by inhibiting EGFR proteasomal degradation. These studies show for the first time a correlation between FABP5 and EGFR in enhancing TNBC metastasis through a novel mechanism. < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
