Background: Previous clinical studies have suggested that Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 had predictive function for endocrine resistance in HER2-positive breast cancer (BCa). Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether TLR2 would relate to development of endocrine therapy resistance in triple-positive breast cancer (TPBC). Methods: Bioinformatic analysis of TLR2 was carried out through a database. Ten tumor tissues were obtained from TPBC patients who underwent surgery, with five patients displaying primary resistance to tamoxifen (TAM) with the remaining 5 being sensitive. Different levels of proteins were identified through mass spectrometry analysis and confirmed through reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blot. TAM-resistant cell lines (BT474-TAM) were established by continuous exposure to TAM, and TAM resistance was assessed via IC50. Additionally, TLR2 mRNA was analyzed through western blot and RT-PCR in BT474, BT474-TAM, MCF-7, and MCF10A cells. Furthermore, TLR2-specific interference sequences were utilized to downregulate TLR2 expression in BT474-TAM cells to elucidate its role in TAM resistance. Results: TLR2 had a correlation with decreased relapse-free survival in BCa patients from the GSE1456-GPL96 cohort, and it was involved in cancer development predominantly mediated by MAPK and PI3K pathways. TLR2 protein expression ranked in the top 5 proteins within the TAM-resistant group, and was 1.9 times greater than that in the sensitive group. Additionally, TLR2 mRNA and protein expression increased significantly in the established TAM-resistant BT474/TAM cell lines. The sensitivity of TAM was restored upon TLR2 downregulation in BT474/TAM cells. Conclusions: TLR2 might have a therapeutic value as it was involved in the TAM resistance in TPBC, with potential to be a marker for primary endocrine resistance.
