The homeobox family genes are often dysregulated in a various cancer type. Particularly HOXB7 amplification and overexpression correlate with poor prognosis in various cancer such as gastric, pancreatic, and lung cancers. Moreover, HOXB7 is known to contribute to cancer progression by promoting epithelial to mesenchymal transition, anti-cancer drug resistance, and angiogenesis. In this study, we show that HOXB7 is coamplified with ERBB2 in a subset of breast cancer patients and HOXB7 expression correlates with poor prognosis in HER2-positive breast cancer patients. This clinical observation is supported by the following results: HOXB7 overexpression in an immortalized murine mammary gland epithelial cell line NMuMG induces cellular transformation in vitro, tumorigenesis and lung metastasis through the activation of JAK-STAT signaling.
