ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) on cell cycle of breast cancer and its molecular mechanisms.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The expression of CXCR4 and S phase kinase associated protein 2 (Skp2) was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (fqRT-PCR) and Western blot in breast cancer cells. The expression of signal proteins and the downstream genes of Skp2 was detected by Western blot. The effect of CXCR4, PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitor LY294002 and ERK pathway inhibitor U0126 on cell cycle of breast cancer was detected by propidium iodide staining.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Skp2 was significantly down-regulated in CXCR4-downregulated cells and up-regulated in CXCR4-upregulated cells. CXCR4 also regulated the expression of Skp2 and other downstream genes by signaling protein. The proportion of cells in G/Gphase increased and that in S phase declined in CXCR4-downregulated cell, and the effect was more significant when combined with the use of LY294002 or U0126.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>CXCR4 can affect cell cycle and inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells by regulating Skp2 gene expression through PI3K/Akt and ERK signaling pathway.</p>
