Abstract

Growth arrest‑specific 5 (GAS5) is a known tumor suppressor which negatively regulates cell survival and malignancy in several cancer cell types. The present study aimed to establish the correlation between GAS5 and unc‑51 like autophagy activating kinase (ULK)1/2, two key regulators of autophagy initiation in breast cancer (BC). To address this, expression levels of these genes were quantitively analyzed in BC clinical samples by performing reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR. GAS5 was downregulated in BC clinical samples compared with adjacent samples and was positively correlated with ULK1/2. Detection methods including cell cycle analysis, annexin V‑FITC/PI double staining and flow cytometry analysis, Transwell cell invasion assay, transfection and western blotting were used for BC cells. In MCF‑7 cells, it was also observed that overexpression of GAS5 upregulated ULK1/2 protein levels without disturbing other autophagy initiation‑associated proteins and inhibited cell proliferation, invasion and tumor formation. These effects were reversed by blocking autophagy with 3‑methyladenine (3‑MA). These results demonstrated that the suppressive effects of overexpressed GAS5 were mediated via autophagy induction, at least in part. Overexpression of GAS5 induced chemoresistance to cisplatin, which was not reversed by 3‑MA‑mediated inhibition of autophagy, indicating that GAS5 promotes chemosensitivity in an autophagy‑independent manner. Collectively, these results indicated that GAS5 contributes to the pathogenesis of BC potentially by promoting autophagy. However, the mechanism by which GAS5 functions as a tumor suppressor in an autophagy‑independent manner remains unknown.
