YBX1 gene silencing inhibits migratory and invasive potential via CORO1C in breast cancer in vitro

Background Y-box binding protein-1 is an evolutionary conserved transcription and translation regulating protein that is overexpressed in various human malignancies, including breast cancer. Despite reports of YB-1 and its association with distant spread of breast cancer, the intrinsic mechanism underlying this observation remains elusive. This study investigates the role of YB-1 in mediating metastasis in highly invasive breast cancer cell lines.
