    Mutant SF3B1
    Promotes AKT and NF-kB Driven Mammary Tumorigenesis

    Investigators identified that SF3B1 mutations in mammary epithelial and breast cancer cells induced a recurrent pattern of aberrant splicing leading to activation of AKT and NF-kB, enhanced cell migration, and accelerated tumorigenesis.

    Jagged1-Notch1-Deployed
    Tumor Perivascular Niche Promotes Breast Cancer Stem Cell Phenotype through Zeb1

    Scientists demonstrated that with direct cell-cell contact, tumor microenvironment-derived endothelial cells provided the Notch ligand Jagged1 to neighboring breast cancer stem cells, leading to Notch1-dependent upregulation of Zeb1.

    Pan-Cancer Analysis Reveals TAp63-Regulated Oncogenic lncRNAs that Promote Cancer Progression through AKT Activation

    By performing a mouse-human cross species analysis between the TAp63 metastatic mammary adenocarcinoma mouse model and models of human breast cancer progression, researchers identified two TAp63-regulated oncogenic lncRNAs, TROLL-2 and TROLL-3.

    OSR1
    Phosphorylates the Smad2/3 Linker Region and Induces TGF-β1 Autocrine to Promote EMT and Metastasis in Breast Cancer

    Scientists elaborated on the role of oxidative stress-responsive kinase 1 (OSR1) in breast cancer metastasis and the specific regulatory mechanism.

    FBI-1
    Enhanced the Resistance of TBNC Cells to Chemotherapeutic Agents via the miR-30c/PXR Axis

    Factor that bound to the inducer of short transcripts‐1 (FBI-1) enhanced the resistance of TNBC cells to chemotherapeutic agents by repressing the expression of micoRNA-30c targeting the pregnane X receptor (PXR).

    Targeting
    IL-3Rα on Tumor-Derived Endothelial Cells Blunts Metastatic Spread of TNBC via Extracellular Vesicle Reprogramming

    Using human TNBC cell lines for in vitro studies, investigators found that, unlike native tumor–endothelial cells extracellular vesicles (EVs), anti-IL-3R-EVs increased apoptosis and reduced cell viability and migration.

    Extracellular
    Matrix-Bound FGF2 Mediates Estrogen Receptor Signaling and Therapeutic Response in Breast Cancer

    Scientists uncovered that estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells cultured within extracellular matrix -scaffolds had an increase in ER signaling that occured via a MAPK-dependent, but estrogen-independent manner.
