| Researchers showed that centrosome depletion induced synthetic lethality in cancer cells that contained the 17q23 amplicon, a recurrent copy number aberration that defined about 9% of all primary breast cancer tumors and was associated with high levels of genomic instability. [Nature] |

|
| Low tripartite motif-containing 37 (TRIM37) levels accelerated acentrosomal spindle assembly and improved proliferation following polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) inhibition, whereas high TRIM37 levels inhibited acentrosomal spindle assembly, leading to mitotic failure and cessation of proliferation. [Nature] |

|
|
| Investigators demonstrated that breast cancer-derived extracellular vesicles activated liver sinusoidal endothelial cells in the liver-chip, inducing endothelial to mesenchymal transition and destruction of vessel barriers. [ACS Nano] |
|
|
|
| Scientists found that glioma-associated oncogene family zinc finger 1was activated in TNBC cells in response to ionizing radiation (IR) and localized to ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences in response to both global double-strand breaks (DSBs) generated by IR and site-specific DSBs in rDNA. [Nucleic Acids Research] |
|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that meR342-EZH2 decreased enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) target gene expression, but increased breast cancer cell epithelial–mesenchymal transition, invasion and metastasis. [Cell Death & Differentiation] |
|
|
|
| Mechanistic analyses determined that hTERT promoter-driven VP16-GAL4-WPRE integrated systemic amplifier delivery composite vector-circular RNA RGPD6 (TV-circRGPD6) suppressed breast cancer stem cell-mediated metastasis via miR-26b/YAF2 axis. [Molecular Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Investigators discovered an alternative “migration-by-tethering” mechanism through which cancer cells gained momentum to migrate by adhering to mesenchymal stem cells or osteoblasts. [npj Breast Cancer] |
|
|
|
| To uncover the relation between oncogene expression, replication stress, and clinical features of breast cancer subgroups, researchers immunohistochemically analyzed the expression of a panel of oncogenes and markers of replication stress in breast tumor tissues prior to treatment. [npj Breast Cancer] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the effectiveness of a novel combination treatment with the platelet-derived growth factor receptor β aptamer and anti-programmed cell death-ligand 1 monoclonal antibody in TNBC. [Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Investigators revealed that prostate cancer-associated transcript 6 (PCAT6) boosted TNBC proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Ectopic expression of miR-210-3p enhanced glucose uptake, lactate production, extracellular acidification rate, colony formation ability, and reduced serum starvation-induced cell apoptosis. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Scientists analyzed the in vivo molecular response to proton therapy and its efficacy in a MDA-MB-231 TNBC xenograft model. [Cancers] |
|
|
|
|
| Investigators outline the prospects and directions for a better understanding and re-purposing of metformin as an anti-cancer/chemo-sensitizing drug in the treatment of breast cancer. [Cancers] |
|
|
|
| The authors review the function of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mTOR pathway and the various classes of PI3K pathway inhibitors that have been developed to disrupt this pathway signaling for the treatment of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer. [Drugs] |
|
|
|
| Investigators summarize the general understandings of miRNA-regulated biological processes in breast cancer, particularly focused on the role of miRNA in cisplatin resistance/sensitivity. [Anti-Cancer Agents in Medicinal Chemistry] |

|
| Knight Therapeutics Inc. announced the filing of NERLYNX®for receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2-positive metastatic breast cancer in Canada. [Knight Therapeutics Inc.] |
|
|
|
| Onxeo S.A. announced that it had received a Notice of Allowance from the US Patent and Trademark Office for a new patent in the United States covering the systemic administration of AsiDNA™ for the treatment of TNBC and chemo-resistant lung cancer, alone or in combination with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or other tumor DNA-damaging agents. [Onxeo S.A.] |

|
|
| Recent studies have shown that Lunit’s artificial intelligence solution was as accurate as average radiologists when it came to identifying breast cancer. [Lunit Inc (PRNewswire LLC)] |
