PinX1 might exert its tumor suppressor function in breast cancer cell lines by inhibiting cell proliferation through the Jak/STAT pathway and the HIF-1 signaling pathway; by resisting the protooncogene RET, transcription factor E2F2, focal adhesion related LAMC1, and DNA mismatch repair related MLH1; and by activating the tumor suppressor BRAC2. The gene discussed is RET; the disease is breast cancer.
