    PIK3CA
    C-Terminal Frameshift Mutations Are Novel Oncogenic Events That Sensitize Tumors to PI3K-α Inhibition

    Investigators report that PIK3CA C-terminal mutations occured at a low frequency across multiple cancer subtypes, including breast, and was sufficient to drive oncogenic transformation in vitro and in vivo.

    Abstract

    Breast
    Cancer Cell Detection and Characterization from Breast Milk-Derived Cells

    Using the recently established culturing method that allowed propagation of normal and cancerous breast epithelial cells of luminal origin, flow cytometry characterization, and genomic sequencing, scientists showed that cancer cells were detected in breast milk.

    Abstract

    Combined
    Inhibition of JAK2-STAT3 and SMO-GLI1/tGLI1 Pathways Suppresses Breast Cancer Stem Cells, Tumor Growth, and Metastasis

    Investigators showed that novel combinations of JAK2 inhibitors with SMO inhibitors synergistically inhibited in vitro growth of TNBC and HER2-positive trastuzumab-resistant BT474-TtzmR cells.

    Abstract

    Chronic
    Stress Promotes EMT-Mediated Metastasis through Activation of STAT3 Signaling Pathway by miR-337-3p in Breast Cancer

    The analysis of transcriptome sequencing implied that activation of STAT3 signaling pathway by downregulated miR-337-3p might be a potential mechanism to induce epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cancer cells and promote metastasis under chronic stress
