Effect of NIMA-related kinase 2B on the sensitivity of breast cancer to paclitaxel in vitro and vivo:

NIMA-related kinase 2B has been known to be an important centrosome regulatory factor. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of NIMA-related kinase 2B on the sensitivity of breast cancer to paclitaxel. We detected the expression of NIMA-related kinase 2B messenger RNA in MCF-10 cells, including MCF-10A, MCF-10AT, MCF-10DCIS.com, and MCF-10CA1a. The influence of NIMA-related kinase 2B in nude mouse was also detected. The association between NIMA-related kinase 2B and clinicopathological factors was explored in invasive ductal carcinoma tissues. NIMA-related kinase 2B was lowly expressed in the precancerous cells, MCF-10A and MCF-10AT, and it was highly expressed in carcinomatous cells, MCF-10DCIS.com and MCF-10CA1a. The upregulation of NIMA-related kinase 2B can introduce the growth of MCF-10AT cells, knockdown of NIMA-related kinase 2B could remarkably inhibit cell proliferation in MCF-10DCIS.com and MCF-10 CA1a cells. Comparing the volume of the xenografts in nude mouse, we found that the t...
