Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the most types of common malignant tumor in women. REC8 is a known tumor suppressor in several types of cancer; however, the role of REC8 in breast cancer remains unknown. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects and underlying mechanism of REC8 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. The expression of REC8 in normal and breast cancer cells was detected by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blotting. Stable REC8‑overexpressing breast cancer cells were constructed to modify the expression of REC8. The expression of cell division cycle 20 (CDC20) in breast cancer cells was altered using the CDC20 inhibitor apcin. Cell viability, proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis were determined by Cell Counting Kit‑8, colony formation, wound healing, Transwell and TUNEL assays, respectively. Western blotting was performed to measure the expression of matrix metalloproteinase‑2/9 and apoptosis‑associated proteins [Bcl‑2, caspase‑3, cleaved caspase‑3 and cleaved poly (ADP‑ribose) polymerase]. Compared with normal breast cells, the expression of REC8 was lower in breast cancer cells. Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins online database was used to predict the interaction between REC8 and CDC20. Overexpression of REC8 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of breast cancer cells in vitro; these changes were reversed by CDC20 overexpression. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that REC8 decreased proliferation, migration and invasion of breast cancer cells by inhibiting CDC20.
