Human cytomegalovirus glycoprotein B inhibits migration of breast cancer MDA‑MB‑231 cells and impairs TGF‑β/Smad2/3 expression

Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer‑associated mortality in females worldwide and evidence suggests that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection may be implicated in the progress of breast cancer. HCMV glycoprotein B (gB) is the most abundant envelope protein and serves an important role in ho...

Description
Summary:Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer‑associated mortality in females worldwide and evidence suggests that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection may be implicated in the progress of breast cancer. HCMV glycoprotein B (gB) is the most abundant envelope protein and serves an important role in host cell entry. The present study aimed to clarify the role of HCMV gB in breast cancer cells.
