Abstract
SCYL1 is a pseudokinase and plays roles in cell division and gene transcription, nuclear/cytoplasmic shuttling of tRNA, protein glycosylation, and Golgi morphology. However, the role of SCYL1 in human breast cancer progression remains largely unknown. In this study, we determined expression of SCYL1 in breast cancer by searching the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Tumor Immunoassay Resource (TIMER) databases. Meanwhile, we collected breast tumor tissue samples from 247 cases and detected expression of SCYL1 in the tumors using the tissue microarray assay (TMA). Association of SCYL1 with prognosis of breast cancer was determined based on the PrognoScan database. The results have shown that SCYL1 is overexpressed in breast cancer, and the expression of SCYL1 is associated with poor clinical outcomes of breast cancer patients. Furthermore, knockdown of SCYL1 by shRNAs significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells. Taken together, our data suggest that SCYL1 is a biomarker for poor prognosis of breast cancer, has a promoting role in breast cancer progression, and is a potential target for breast cancer therapy.
