Abstract

Expression of the SASH1 protein is reduced in a range of human cancers and has been implicated in apoptotic Cancer cell death. This study investigated whether increasing SASH1 expression could be a useful therapeutic strategy in breast Cancer. Ectopic SASH1 expression increased Apoptosis in 7/8 breast Cancer cell lines. Subsequent in silico connectivity screening demonstrated that the clinically approved antihistamine drug, chloropyramine, increased SASH1 mRNA levels. Chloropyramine has previously been shown to have anti-tumour activity in breast Cancer in part through modulation of FAK signalling, a pathway also regulated by SASH1. This study demonstrated that chloropyramine increased SASH1 protein levels in breast Cancer cells. Consistent with this the agent reduced cell confluency in 7/8 cell lines treated irrespective of their ER status but not Apoptosis incompetent MCF7 cells. In contrast SASH1 siRNA-transfected breast Cancer cells exhibited reduced chloropyramine sensitivity. The prognostic significance of SASH1 expression was also investigated in two breast Cancer cohorts. Expression was associated with favourable outcome in ER-positive cases, but only those of low histological grade/proliferative status. Conversely, we found a very strong inverse association in HER2+ disease irrespective of ER status, and in triple-negative, basal-like cases. Overall, the data suggest that SASH1 is prognostic in breast Cancer and could have subtype-dependent effects on breast Cancer progression. Pharmacologic induction of SASH1 by chloropyramine treatment of breast Cancer warrants further preclinical and clinical investigation.
