    Cell–Cell
    Adhesion and 3D Matrix Confinement Determine Jamming Transitions in Breast Cancer Invasion

    Using spatially defined organotypic culture, intravital microscopy of mammary tumors in mice and in silico modelling, scientists identified cell density regulation by three-dimensional tissue boundaries to physically control collective movement irrespective of the composition and stability of cell–cell junctions.

    ITGB3-Mediated
    Uptake of Small Extracellular Vesicles Facilitates Intercellular Communication in Breast Cancer Cells

    The functional requirement for integrin beta 3 (ITGB3) derived from its interactions with heparan sulfate proteoglycans and the process of integrin endocytosis, allowed the capture of extracellular vesicles and their endocytosis-mediated internalization.

    Single-Cell
    RNA-Sequencing Reveals Distinct Patterns of Cell State Heterogeneity in Mouse Models of Breast Cancer

    Researchers revealed that Neu, PyMT and BRCA1-null mammary tumors contained distinct lineage-specific tumor propagating cells and this was reflective of the self-sustaining capabilities of lineage-specific stem/progenitor cells in the mammary epithelial hierarchy.

    Methylation of SHANK2 by PRMT7 Promotes Human Breast Cancer Metastasis through Activating Endosomal FAK Signalling

    Investigators identified the pivotal roles of protein arginine methyltransferase 7 (PRMT7) in promoting endosomal focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signalling activation during breast cancer metastasis.

    Abstract

    Canonical
    ErbB-2 Isoform and ErbB-2 Variant C Located in the Nucleus Drive Triple Negative Breast Cancer Growth

    Scientists revealed that not only receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 in the nucleus of TNBC (NErbB-2) canonical and alternative isoforms role as targets of therapy in TNBC, but also isoform c dominant oncogenic potential.

    Promotes Early Dissemination of Breast Cancer by Suppressing the p38-MK2-Hsp27 Pathway That Is Targetable by Wip1 Inhibition

    Using early lesion breast cancer models, researchers demonstrated the effect of p38 suppression by human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2) on early dissemination was mediated by mitogen-activated protein kinase activated protein kinase 2 (MK2) and heat shock protein 27.

    ZEB1-Mediated
    Transcriptional Up-Regulation of circWWC3 Promotes Breast Cancer Progression through Activating Ras Signaling Pathway

    Researchers found that the zinc finger e-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) upregulated circular WWC3 expression, but not the linear WWC3 mRNA expression.

    Hippo/MST
    Blocks Breast Cancer by Downregulating WBP2 Oncogene Expression via miRNA Processor Dicer

    Scientists hypothesized that WW domain-binding protein 2 (WBP2) was regulated by the hippo tumor suppressor pathway. The macrophage-stimulating protein (MST) was demonstrated to negatively regulate WBP2 expression in a kinase-dependent but large tumor suppressor kinase-independent manner.

    NEDDylation
    Negatively Regulates ERRβ Expression to Promote Breast Cancer Tumorigenesis and Progression

    Authors used in vitro and in vivo models and discovered that MLN4924, a specific small molecule inhibitor of NEDDylation, restored estrogen-related receptor β (ERRβ) expression and culminated in a reduction in cell proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells.

    Tumor Cell Invasion and Pro-invasive Activity of Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Co-Targeted by Novel Urokinase-Derived Decapeptides

    In three dimensional organotypic assays, peptide-exposed telomerase immortalised fibroblasts and primary cancer-associated fibroblasts from breast carcinoma patients both exhibited a markedly reduced pro-invasive ability of either HT1080 fibrosarcoma or MDA-MB-231 mammary carcinoma cells, respectively.

    MDA-MB-231
    Breast Cancer Cells Resistant to Pleurocidin-Family Lytic Peptides Are Chemosensitive and Exhibit Reduced Tumor-Forming Capacity

    Scientists described the generation and characterization of two MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell-line variants with reduced susceptibility to pleurocidin-family and mastoparan direct-acting anticancer peptides.

    Transcriptome Analysis of Bovine Mammary Progenitor Cells by P-Cadherin Enrichment as a Marker in the Mammary Cell Hierarchy

    When investigators analyzed only the genes that were differentially expressed in the stem cell enriched fraction, clusters of downregulated genes were related to proliferation, while among the upregulated expression, cluster of genes related to cell adhesion, migration and cytoskeleton organization were observed.

    Therapeutic
    Effects of Ginsenosides on Breast Cancer Growth and Metastasis

    Authors discuss various roles of ginsenosides in the treatment of breast cancer, including apoptosis, autophagy, metastasis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, epigenetic changes, combination therapy, and drug delivery system.
