摘要

Background

G protein-coupled receptor 17 (GPR17), a Gi protein-coupled receptor, has been defined poorly about its roles and clinical significance in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Purpose

The biological expression profile, prognostic value and functional roles of GPR17 in TNBC were elucidated in the present study.

Methods

Differentially expressed genes were screened through comprehensive bioinformatics analyses of the GSE233242 dataset. GPR17 expression patterns and their prognostic significance in TNBC were evaluated based on the UALCAN, bc-GenExMiner v4.8 and KM-Plotter databases. Prognostic correlations of GPR17 were further validated in a retrospective cohort comprising 163 TNBC patients. In vitro functional assays for cell proliferation, migration and invasion were conducted in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-453 cells after GPR17 overexpression.

Results

GPR17 was significantly downregulated in TNBC tumor tissues (p < 0.001), and reduced GPR17 expression was associated with more aggressive tumor phenotypes in TNBC patients. GPR17 expression was closely correlated with clinical T stage and lymph node metastasis, and was identified as an independent prognostic factor for the disease. Ectopic GPR17 overexpression significantly suppressed the proliferative, migratory and invasive capacities of MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-453 TNBC cell lines.

Conclusion

GPR17 holds potential as a novel prognostic biomarker for TNBC, with its expression levels closely associated with tumor progression and able to predict clinical outcomes in TNBC patients.
