Abstract

Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently diagnosed type of cancer and the leading cause of cancer‑associated mortality among women worldwide. However, the molecular basis for the pathogenesis of BC requires further exploration. Recent studies have demonstrated that chaperonin‑containing TCP1 subunit 6A (CCT6A) efficiently suppresses transforming growth factor‑β‑mediated metastasis by inhibiting the function of SMAD family member 2 in lung cancer. However, the functional significance of CCT6A in other types of cancer, including BC, remains to be investigated. Therefore, this study evaluated CCT6A expression in BC samples, and further analysed its association with survival, clinicopathological parameters and related signalling pathways using online datasets. The present study indicated that CCT6A expression was significantly higher in BC tissues compared with in surrounding noncancerous tissues at both mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, increased CCT6A expression was significantly associated with poor survival, including overall survival, relapse‑free survival, distant metastasis‑free survival and post progression survival, in patients with BC. Pathway finder analysis indicated that CCT6A was significantly associated with the cell cycle, and its expression was significantly positively correlated with cyclin (CCN)B2 and CCNA2 expression. Taken together, to the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to indicate that CCT6A may serve a significant role in BC tumour progression.
