  • Abstract:Accumulating evidence has suggested that cancer stem cells (CSCs) are at the root of drug resistance, and recent studies have indicated that caveolin-1, a membrane transporter protein, is involved in the regulation of cancer chemoresistance and stem cell signaling. However, the current understanding of the role of caveolin-1 in breast cancer development remains controversial. Herein, we demonstrate that caveolin-1 expression was upregulated after breast cancer chemotherapy in vitro and in vivo, accompanied by co-overexpression of β-catenin and ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) signaling. Additionally, breast CSCs were enriched for caveolin-1 expression. Caveolin-1 silencing sensitized breast CSCs by limiting their self-renewal ability but promoting the differentiation process. β-catenin silencing prevented the enhanced chemoresistance of CSCs induced by caveolin-1 overexpression, indicating that β-catenin is an essential molecule responsible for caveolin-1-mediated action. Further mechanistic investigation revealed that caveolin-1 silencing could downregulate the β-catenin/ABCG2 pathway through glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta activation and Akt inhibition, resulting in increased β-catenin phosphorylation and proteasomal degradation. Clinical investigation also revealed a close correlation between caveolin-1 and β-catenin/ABCG2 signaling in breast cancer samples. Notably, caveolin-1 was highly elevated in triple-negative breast cancer, and caveolin-1 silencing significantly impaired the tumorigenicity and chemoresistance of breast CSCs in in vivo models. Overall, our study not only highlights the role of caveolin-1 in mediating the chemoresistance of breast CSCs via β-catenin/ABCG2 regulation but also provides novel approaches for future therapies targeting CSCs.
