Summary: | The annexins(ANX) family is widely present in the cell membrane, cytoplasm or extracellular matrix. As key tumor regulatory molecules, annexins A (ANX A) family can promote or inhibit invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells by influencing cell membrane and cytoskeleton formation and participating in signaling pathways. ANX A family also plays a role in the apoptosis of breast cancer cells by regulation of pro-apoptotic proteins and cell cycle independent kinases (CDKs) and related pathways. In addition, ANX A family can also promote therapeutic resistance to a large number of drugs. For instance,ANX A1 enhances triple-negative breast cancer resistance by inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transformation. ANX A4 induces resistance by forming ANX A4-Fhit complexes and secretion of exosomes containing ANX A6 promotes paclitaxel resistance in breast cancer cells in a YAP1-dependent manner. So ANX A family may be a new target for breast cancer treatment.
