The expression of Nuclear Protein 1 (NUPR1) is associated with chemoresistance in multiple malignancies. We previously reported that NUPR1 functions as a transcriptional cofactor for the p300–p53 complex and transcriptionally regulates p21 expression. In the present study we investigated the activity of NUPR1 in p53‐deficient, triple‐negative, inflammatory SUM159 breast cancer cells. Our studies reveal that NUPR1 confers growth benefit and chemoresistance by causing Akt‐mediated phosphorylation and subsequent cytoplasmic re‐localization of p21 and activation of the anti‐apoptotic Bcl‐xL protein. Our findings elucidate a NUPR1‐PI‐3‐K/Akt‐phospho‐p21 axis that functions in p53‐negative, inflammatory breast cancer cells to enhance chemoresistance in breast cancer.
