Members of the carbonic anhydrase family are functionally involved in the regulation of intracellular and extracellular pH in physiological and pathological conditions. Their expression is finely regulated to maintain a strict control on cellular homeostasis, and it is dependent on the activation of extracellular and intracellular signaling pathways. Combining RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), NanoString, and bioinformatics data, we demonstrated that the expression of carbonic anhydrase 12 (CAXII) is significantly different in luminal and triple negative breast cancer (BC) models and patients, and is associated with the activation of an epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) program...
