Abstract Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients have relatively poor clinical outcomes. A marker predicting the prognosis of patients with TNBC could help guide treatment. Extensive evidence demonstrates that angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) is involved in the regulation of cancer growth, metastasis and angiogenesis. Therefore, its role in TNBC is of interest.Methods: We tested the ANGPTL4 expression level in tumor tissues by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and detected its association with the clinical features of TNBC patients. Next, the effects and mechanisms of ANGPTL4 on TNBC cell migration and adhesion were investigated.Results: We found that ANGPTL4 overexpression was associated with favorable outcomes in TNBC patients. ANGPTL4 upregulation inhibited cell adhesion, migration and invasion in vitro. Further analyses demonstrated that the possible mechanism might involve suppression of TNBC progression by interacting with extracellular matrix-related genes.Conclusions: The present findings demonstrated that enhancement of ANGPTL4 expression might inversely correlate with TNBC progression. ANGPTL4 is a promising marker of TNBC and should be evaluated in further studies. Trial registration: Retrospectively registered.

Purpose: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype and lacks specific targeted therapeutics. The current mechanistic evidence from cell-based studies suggests that the matricellular protein SPARC has a tumor-promoting role in TNBC; however, data on the clinical relevance of SPARC expression/secretion by tumor and stromal cells in TNBC are limited. Experimental Design: This study analyzed the prognostic value of tumor and stromal cell SPARC expression in a large series of 148 patients with non-metastatic TNBC and long follow-up (median: 5.4 years). Fibrosis, tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) infiltration, tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) density, PD-L1 and PD-1 expression were assessed. Tumor and stromal cell SPARC expression was studied by immunofluorescence, western blotting, and meta-analysis of published single-cell mRNA sequencing data. The biological role of fibroblast-secreted SPARC was analyzed using cell adhesion, wound healing, Transwell-based motility and invasion, and tumor spheroid assays. Results: SPARC expression was detected in cancer cells (42.4%), cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) (88.1%), TAMs (77.1%), endothelial cells (75.2%), and TILs (9.8%). Recurrence-free survival was significantly lower in patients with SPARC-expressing CAFs. SPARC expression in CAFs was an independent prognostic factor in multivariate analysis. Tumor and stromal cell SPARC expression was observed in TNBC cytosols, patient-derived xenografts, and cell lines. SPARC was expressed by different CAF subsets, including myofibroblasts and inflammatory CAFs. Fibroblast-secreted SPARC inhibited TNBC cell adhesion and stimulated their migration and invasion. Conclusions: SPARC expression in CAFs is an independent predictor of recurrence-free survival in TNBC. Patients with SPARC-expressing CAFs could be eligible for anti-SPARC-targeted therapy.
