Identifying markers for breast cancer is important for both diagnosis and the design of treatment strategies. Recent studies have implicated Paired box 5 (PAX5) as a suppressor in various cancer types, where it is silenced by hypermethylation. However, determining the role of PAX5 in breast cancer requires further study, and the relationship between PAX5 methylation and breast cancer remains unclear. In this study, we found that PAX5 expression was frequently silenced or reduced by methylation in breast cancer cell lines as well as in breast cancer tissues. Restoring expression of PAX5 in breast cancer cells led to tumor suppression through inhibited proliferation and invasion, which resulted from modulation of the cell cycle and altered vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. Most importantly, we found that PAX5 methylation status in breast cancer tissues was significantly correlated with patients' age, estrogen receptor (ER) status, progesterone receptor (PR) status, indicating that PAX5 could serve as a marker for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment strategy design.
