    EFA6B Regulates a Stop Signal for Collective Invasion in Breast Cancer

    Researchers report that loss of exchange factor for ARF6, B (EFA6B) triggered a transcriptional reprogramming of cell-to-extracellular matrix interaction machinery and unleashed CDC42-dependent collective invasion in collagen.

    Triple SILAC Identified Progestin-Independent and Dependent PRA and PRB Interacting Partners in Breast Cancer

    Scientists showed that the differences in progesterone receptor A (PRA) and PRB structure facilitated the binding of common and distinct protein interacting partners affecting the downstream signaling events of each PR-isoform. Tet-inducible HA-tagged PRA or HA-tagged PRB constructs were expressed in T47DC42 (PR/ER negative) breast cancer cells.

    Cytokeratin 5 Determines Maturation of the Mammary Myoepithelium

    Investigators showed that the expression of basal/myoepithelial proteins CK5, CK14, and α-SMA altered along with the increasing grade of malignancy, and their loss affected the maintenance of organotypic 3D mammary architecture.

    TWIST1-Mediated Transcriptional Activation of PDGFRβ in Breast Cancer Stem Cells Promotes Tumorigenesis and Metastasis

    Scientists report that TWIST1, an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) regulated by transcription factors, exhibited positive transcriptional regulation on PDGFRβ promoter, thus identifying PDGFRβ as one of the downstream targets of EMT regulation in breast cancer stem cells.

    Local Production of Lactate, Ribose Phosphate, and Amino Acids by Human Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    Investigators explored human TNBC metabolism by isotope tracing with glucose, a tracer that differentiates glycolytic versus oxidative pentose phosphate pathway catabolism and reveals glucose-driven anabolism.
