Forced expression of FOXN3 inhibited the growth, migration and invasion of colon cancer cells, while knocking down the expression of FOXN3 promoted the growth, migration, invasion and metastasis of colon cancer cells.
We demonstrated that the FOXN3-NEAT1-SIN3A complex promotes EMT and invasion of breast cancer cells in vitro as well as dissemination and metastasis of breast cancer in vivo.
The present study suggested that FOXN3 was notably downregulated in OS tissues compared with in adjacent normal tissues, and the expression of FOXN3 was negatively correlated with tumor size, metastasis and tumor, node and metastasis stage.
