One of the factors involved in TNBC aggressiveness is HMGA1, a member of non-histone chromatin proteins. The High mobility group A1 is an architectural transcription factor which, by altering chromatin structure and interacting with transcription factors, can regulate the transcription of several genes. HMGA1 protein is defined as an oncofetal protein as it is highly expressed during the embryogenesis while its expression decreases or is absent in adults, and it is re-expressed in a variety of tumors, including breast cancer. Several works established that, in breast cancer, HMGA1 expression is correlated with high tumor grade and tumor metastasis, resistance to therapies and poor prognosis. The goal of this project is to find out in details, which are the genes that are modulated by HMGA1 in MDA-MB-231 triple negative breast cancer cell line model.
