    STAT1 Potentiates Oxidative Stress Revealing a Targetable Vulnerability That Increases Phenformin Efficacy in Breast Cancer

    Researchers demonstrated that inflammatory mediators, including IFNγ and polyIC, potentiated the cytotoxicity of phenformin by inducing a parallel increase in oxidative stress through STAT1-dependent mechanisms.

    Systemic Metastasis-Targeted Nanotherapeutic Reinforces Tumor Surgical Resection and Chemotherapy

    Investigators designed a systemic metastasis-targeted nanotherapeutic (H@CaPP) to hinder the multiple steps of tumor metastasis. H@CaPP efficiently inhibited tumor metastasis and prolonged overall survival of 4T1 mammary tumor-bearing mice.

    The PTEN and ATM Axis Controls the G1/S Cell Cycle Checkpoint and Tumorigenesis in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

    Researchers generated and analyzed knock-in mice expressing a mutant form of PTEN that could not be phosphorylated by ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), which accelerated tumorigenesis in a model of HER2-positive breast cancer.

    Contraceptive Progestins with Androgenic Properties Stimulate Breast Epithelial Cell Proliferation

    Using mouse mammary tissue ex vivo, scientists showed that testosterone-related progestins induced the progesterone receptor (PR) target and mediator of PR signaling-induced cell proliferation receptor activator of NF-κB ligand, whereas progestins with anti-androgenic properties in reporter assays did not.

    Inhibiting an RBM39/MLL1 Epigenomic Regulatory Complex with Dominant-Negative Peptides Disrupts Cancer Cell Transcription and Proliferation

    Investigators established RBM39/MLL1 as a major contributor to the abnormal epigenetic landscape in breast cancer and laid the foundation for peptide-mediated cancer-specific therapy based on disruption of RBM39 epigenomic functions.

    Long Non-Coding RNA Lnc-408 Promotes Invasion and Metastasis of Breast Cancer Cell by Regulating LIMK1

    The authors found that Lnc-408, a novel long noncoding RNA, was significantly upregulated in breast cancer (BC) cells undergoing epithelial-mesenchymal transformation and in BC tumor with lymphatic metastases compared with those without lymphatic metastases.

    The Targetable Nanoparticle BAF312@cRGD-CaP-NP Represses Tumor Growth and Angiogenesis by Downregulating the S1PR1/P-STAT3/VEGFA Axis in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    Researchers prepared shell-core structure nanoparticles which inhibited tumor growth and angiogenesis in vitro and in MDA-MB-231 tumor-bearing mice via downregulating the sphingosine 1 phosphate receptor 1/phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3/vascular endothelial growth factor A (S1PR1/P-STAT3/VEGFA) axis.

    SEC61G Promotes Breast Cancer Development and Metastasis via Modulating Glycolysis and Is Transcriptionally Regulated by E2F1

    Scientists investigated the expression and function of SEC61G in breast cancer, and demonstrated that knockdown of SEC61G suppressed breast cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and promoted breast cancer cell apoptosis in vitro.

    LncRNA PART1 Promotes Proliferation and Migration, Is Associated with Cancer Stem Cells, and Alters the miRNA Landscape in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    Investigators demonstrated that long non-coding RNA prostate androgen-regulated transcript 1 (PART1) was enriched in TNBCs. Knockdown of PART1 in TNBC cell lines and a patient-derived xenograft decreased cell proliferation, migration, tumor growth, and mammosphere formation potential.

    The LINC01119-SOCS5 Axis as a Critical Theranostic in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells stimulated robust expression of LINC01119 in TNBC cells, which in turn induced suppression of cytokine signaling 5 (SOCS5), leading to accelerated cancer cell growth and tumorigenesis.
