Background The homeobox gene family, encoding a specific nuclear protein, is essential for embryonic development, differentiation, and homeostasis. The role of the HOXB3 protein varies in different tumors. This study aims to explore the role of the HOXB3 gene in breast cancer. Method Differentially expressed genes were screened by analyzing metastatic breast cancer gene chip data from TCGA and GEO databases. The function of the selected HOXB3 gene was also analyzed in different databases and through molecular biology methods, such as qRT-PCR, western blot and IF to verify bioinformatics findings. Results Both bioinformatics analyses and western blot showed that HOXB3 was lost in breast cancer compared to normal breast tissue. Survival analysis also showed that lower expression of HOXB3 was associated with poor prognosis. Bioinformatics analyses further showed that HOXB3 was positively correlated with hormone receptors. Metascape for GO analysis of GEO data provided possible mechanisms that HOXB3 could positively regulate cell adhesion, inhibit cell proliferation and activate immune response in breast cancer; moreover, GSEA included several cancer-associated pathways. Conclusion In summary, HOXB3 expression was decreased in breast cancer, and it was associated with poor prognosis. It might become a new biomarker to predict prognosis of breast cancer.

We have reported the maturation of an intracisternal A-type particle in murine plasma cell tumor cultures and three human tumor cell cultures (rhabdomyosarcoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and osteogenic sarcoma) after IUDR-DMSO activation. In all of these studies the A-type particle seems to develop into a form with an electron dense nucleoid, presumably mature, which is also intracisternal. A similar intracisternal A-type particle has been described in leukemic guinea pigs. Although no biological activity has yet been demonstrated for these particles, on morphologic grounds, and by the manner in which they develop within the cell, they may represent members of the same family of viruses.

Since the report, which described the ultrastructure of a metastatic nodule of human breast cancer after estrogen therapy, additional ultrastructural observations, including some which are correlative with pertinent findings in the literature concerning mycoplasmas, have been recorded concerning the same subject. Specimen preparation was identical to that in.The mitochondria possessed few cristae, and were deteriorated and vacuolated. They often contained particulates and fibrous structures, sometimes arranged in spindle-shaped bundles, Fig. 1. Another apparent aberration was the occurrence, Fig. 2 (arrows) of linear profiles of what seems to be SER, which lie between layers of RER, and are often recognizably continuous with them.It was noted that the structure of the round bodies, interpreted as within autophagic vacuoles in the previous communication, and of vesicular bodies, described morphologically closely resembled those of some mycoplasmas. Specifically, they simulated or reflected the various stages of replication reported for mycoplasmas grown on solid nutrient. Based on this observation, they are referred to here as “mycoplasma-like” structures, in anticipation of confirmatory evidence from investigations now in progress.
