C-type lectin domain family 3 member A (CLEC3A) is a poorly characterized protein belonging to the superfamily of C-type lectins. Elevated CLEC3A expression may correlate with breast IDC metastatic potential and indicated a poor prognosis in breast IDC. CLEC3A knockdown inhibited BC cell growth and metastasis might be through suppressing PI3K/AKT signaling activity. That CLEC3A is a promising therapeutic target for BC in the future. Matrilysin (MMP-7) plays important roles in tumor progression. Previous studies have suggested that MMP-7 binds to tumor cell surface and promotes their metastatic potential. C-type lectin domain family 3 member A (CLEC3A) as a membrane-bound substrate of MMP-7. CLEC3A binds to heparan sulfate proteoglycans on cell surface, leading to the enhancement of cell adhesion to integrin ligands on ECM. It can be speculated that the cleavage of CLEC3A by MMP-7 weakens the stable adhesion of tumor cells to the matrix and promotes their migration in tumor microenvironments.
