Based on our observation that forced expression of BTG2/TIS21 downregulated Twist1 protein expression without altering mRNA level, we investigated molecular mechanisms of the BTG2/TIS21-inhibited Twist1 translation in the triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells and in vivo BTG2/TIS21-knockout (KO) mice and human breast cancer tissues. Here, BTG2 is linked to breast carcinoma.
