Early detection and surgical excision of tumors have helped improve the survival rate of patients with breast cancer. However, patients with metastatic cancer typically have a poor prognosis. In this study, we propose that ANKRD1 promotes metastasis of breast cancer. ANKRD1 was found to be highly expressed in the MDA-MB-231 and MDA-LM-2 highly metastatic breast cancer cell lines compared to the non-metastatic breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7, ZR-75-30, T47D) and normal breast cancer cells (MCF-10A). Furthermore, high-grade tumors showed increased levels of ANKRD1 compared to low-grade tumors. Both in vitro and in vivo functional studies demonstrated the essential role of ANKRD1 in cancer cell migration and invasion. The previous studies have suggested a significant role of NF-κB and MAGE-A6 in breast cancer metastasis, but the upstream regulators of this axis are not well characterized. Our study suggests that ANKRD1 promotes metastasis of breast cancer by activating NF-κB as well as MAGE-A6 signaling. Our findings show that ANKRD1 is a potential therapeutic target and a diagnostic marker for breast cancer metastasis.
