    Breast Cancer–Secreted Factors Perturb Murine Bone Growth in Regions Prone to Metastasis

    Researchers suggested that breast cancer–secreted factors may promote perturbed bone growth before metastasis, which could affect the initial seeding of tumor cells.

    Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Reveals the Cellular Origin and Evolution of Breast Cancer in BRCA1 Mutation Carriers

    Scientists performed single-cell RNA sequencing on 82,122 cells isolated from the breast cancer tissues and adjacent or prophylactic normal breast tissues from four BRCA1 mutation carriers and three non-carriers.

    Abstract

    POU1F1 Transcription Factor Induces Metabolic Reprogramming and Breast Cancer Progression via LDHA Regulation

    Using breast cancer cell lines, human primary cultures of breast tumors, and immune deficient murine models, investigators demonstrated that the POU1F1 transcription factor was functionally and clinically related to both metabolic reprogramming in breast cancer cells and fibroblasts activation.

    CircHIF1A Regulated by FUS Accelerates Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Progression by Modulating NFIB Expression and Translocation

    Gain- and loss-of-function experiments were conducted to investigate the biological roles of circHIF1A in TNBC. Overexpression of circHIF1A significantly promoted TNBC growth and metastasis in vitro and in vivo, while knockdown of circHIF1A exerted the opposite effects.

    Abstract

    p97/VCP Is Highly Expressed in the Stem-Like Cells of Breast Cancer and Controls Cancer Stemness Partly through the Unfolded Protein Response

    Researchers report that the levels of p97 positively correlated with the histological grade, tumor size, and lymph node metastasis in breast cancers.

    Rab26 Suppresses Migration and Invasion of Breast Cancer Cells through Mediating Autophagic Degradation of Phosphorylated Src

    Investigators found that the expression of Rab26 was suppressed in the aggressive breast cancer cells as compared to the levels in non-invasive breast cancer cells.

    USP19 Modulates Cancer Cell Migration and Invasion and Acts as a Novel Prognostic Marker in Patients with Early Breast Cancer

    Researchers identified the deubiquitinase USP19 and demonstrated that its silencing reduced the migratory and invasive potential of highly invasive breast cancer cell lines.

    OMO-1 Reduces Progression and Enhances Cisplatin Efficacy in a 4T1-Based Non-C-MET Addicted Intraductal Mouse Model for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    The authors investigated the therapeutic efficacy of OMO-1, a potent and selective c-MET inhibitor, in an immunocompetent intraductal mouse model for TNBC.

    PI3K Activation Promotes Resistance to Eribulin in HER2Negative Breast Cancer

    Resistance to eribulin was evaluated in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2) breast cancer cell lines and patient-derived tumor xenografts, and correlated with a mutation in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway.

    Abstract

    The Molecular Underpinning of Geminin-Overexpressing Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells Homing Specifically to Lungs

    Investigators proposed that geminin overexpression in normal mammary epithelial cells promoted the generation of TNBC metastatic precursors that homed specifically to lungs by upregulating LGR5 expression and promoting stemness, intravasation, and extravasation in these precursors.

    MiR-301 Regulates the SIRT1/SOX2 Pathway via CPEB1 in the Breast Cancer Progression

    Scientists found specific miRs were involved in the progression of breast cancer and explored the underlying molecular mechanism.

    All-Trans Retinoic Acid and Protein Kinase C α/β1 Inhibitor Combined Treatment Targets Cancer Stem Cells and Impairs Breast Tumor Progression

    Employing hormone-independent mammary cancer models, Gö6976 and all-trans-retinoic acid combined treatment induced a synergistic reduction in the proliferative potential that correlated with an increased apoptosis and retinoic acid receptors modulation towards an anti-oncogenic profile.

    CD73 Facilitates EMT Progression and Promotes Lung Metastases in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    The authors investigated the mechanisms by which CD73 might contribute to TNBC progression. This was done by inhibiting CD73 with adenosine 5′-(α, β-methylene) diphosphate in MDA-MB-231 or 4T1 TNBC cells or through shRNA-silencing.
