FLT1 and breast cancer: Pinteric et al. demonstrated that de novo overexpression of SIRT3 downregulates the expression of vegfr1 (a proangiogenic protein involved in cell proliferation), EMT markers (vimentin and slug), lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA; a glycolytic marker), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC1α), SIRT1, superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), and catalase (CAT) in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, thus indicating a tumor suppressor effect of SIRT3 in breast cancer [68].
