In Silico and In Vitro Studies on the Anti-Cancer Activity of Andrographolide Targeting Survivin in Human Breast Cancer Stem Cells

Human CD24–/CD44+ breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) were treated with andrographolide in vitro for 24 hours. The cytotoxic effect of andrographolide on BCSCs was compared to that on human mesenchymal stem cells.

EMT Transcription Factor ZEB1 Represses the Mutagenic POLθ-Mediated End-Joining Pathway in Breast Cancers

Scientists combined a bioinformatics approach exploring both METABRIC and TCGA databases with CRISPR/Cas9-mediated depletion of the zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) in claudin-low tumor cells or forced expression of ZEB1 in basal-like tumor cells, two TNBC subtypes, to demonstrate that ZEB1 represses DNA polymerase theta (POLθ) expression.

Effects of Obesity on NK Cells in a Mouse Model of Postmenopausal Breast Cancer

The authors analyzed natural killer (NK) cells and NK cell receptor expression of obese mice in a model for postmenopausal breast cancer. Ovaries were ectomized and a syngeneic and orthotopical injection of 4T1-luc2 mouse mammary tumor cells into the mammary adipose tissue pad was performed.

Astaxanthin Reduces Stemness Markers in BT20 and T47D Breast Cancer Stem Cells by Inhibiting Expression of Pontin and Mutant p53

Using Western blotting and qRT-PCR analyses, investigators revealed that in the T47D and BT20 breast cancer cell lines, astaxanthin inhibited expression of pontin and mutp53, as well as the Oct4 and Nanog cancer stem cell stemness genes.
