Abstract:
Bcl-3 is an established oncogene in diverse malignant tumors. In this study, we investigated a dual role of Bcl-3 in BL1-subtype triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The BL1-subtype TNBC is featured by increasing cell cycle gene expression and the highest sensitivity to chemotherapy among all subtypes. Bcl-3 is associated with a better prognosis in BL1 patients. Bcl-3 knockdown in BL1 cell MDA-MB-468 induces the inhibition of cell proliferation and the G1/S transition arrest by promoting p27 and reducing the expressions of c-Myc and skp2 at mRNA and protein levels. Meanwhile, Bcl-3 enhances the sensitivity of MDA-MB-468 to chemotherapeutics ABX and PTX. Furthermore, the regulation mechanisms are restricted to BL1 cell and do not occur in SUM159PT, a typical MSL subtype of TNBC cell. These data suggest that Bcl-3 may be a potential clinical biomarker for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of patients with BL1-subtype TNBC.

Adrenergic Receptors: ɑ Subtype
Adrenaline ≥ Noradrenaline >> Isoprenaline
α-adrenoceptors are further divided into α1 and α2-adrenoceptors.
α1-Adrenoceptors: These receptors are located postsynaptically on the effector organs and cause constriction of smooth muscle mediated by activation of phospholipase...
Adrenergic Receptors: β Subtype
Isoprenaline > Adrenaline > Noradrenaline
Neurotransmitter binding to these receptors causes activation of adenylyl cyclase resulting in increased concentrations of cAMP and modulation of calcium ion channels within the cell. They are further classified into β1, β2, and β3 subtypes.
