|
| Lysine acetyltransferase 6A (KAT6A)-acetylated H3K23-mediated recruitment of tripartite motif-containing 24–SMAD3 complex to chromatin increased SMAD3 activation and immune response-related cytokine expression, leading to enhanced breast cancer stem-like cell stemness, myeloid-derived suppressor cell recruitment, and TNBC metastasis. [Advanced Science] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported that seryl tRNA synthetase, a key enzyme for protein biosynthesis, could translocate into the nucleus in a glucose-dependent manner to suppress key genes involved in the de novo lipid biosynthesis. [Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported that activation of β-catenin, an oncogene of the WNT signaling pathway, inhibited proliferation of BRCA1/2-deficient cells. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Neuregulin-1 (NRG1) was expressed in HER2-positive breast cancer-derived fibroblasts at significantly higher levels than in cancer cells. NRG1 and the conditioned media from cancer-associated fibroblasts phosphorylated HER3 and AKT in cancer cells and mediated trastuzumab resistance. [Clinical Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Slit2 increased recruitment of M1-like tumor-associated macrophages (M1-TAMs) to the tumor and enhanced the ability of M1-TAMs to phagocytose tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. [Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Researchers identified decaprenyl diphosphate synthase subunit 1 (PDSS1) as an essential gene for TNBC metastasis. PDSS1 expression was significantly upregulated in TNBC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues and was positively associated with poor survival among TNBC patients. [Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Transcriptome analyses indicated that chronic estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) inhibition triggered a broad immunosuppressive program in ER-positive breast cancer cells, which was subsequent to their growth arrest and involved the activation of multiple immune checkpoints together with the silencing of the antigen presentation machinery. [Molecular Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Exogenous leptin abrogated tamoxifen-mediated growth inhibition and potentiated breast tumor growth even in the presence of tamoxifen. [npj Breast Cancer] |
|
|
|
| Peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) inactivation in mammary fibroblasts occured via SRC-induced phosphorylation of PRDX1 TYR194 and not through the expected direct oxidation of CYS52 in PRDX1 by ROS. [British Journal of Cancer] |
|
|
|
| To assess a potential combination strategy in a CDK4/6i resistant breast cancer population, the authors investigated the mechanism of action of ZEN-3694 combined with CDK4/6 inhibitors in the ER+ cell lines resistant to palbociclib or abemaciclib. [Cancer Gene Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Predicted pathogenic mutation R532Q within S5 disrupted the S5/S6 interaction leading to gain-of-function of the channel, which promoted breast cancer cell progression through strengthening of the TRPV6/PI3K interaction, activation of a PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β cascade, and up-regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and anti-apoptosis. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| Circular RNA circ-ERBB2 knockdown constrained TNBC growth in vivo and reduced Warburg effect, accelerated apoptosis, repressed proliferation, migration, and invasion of TNBC cells in vitro. [Molecular and Cellular Biology] |
|
|
|
|
| Investigators summarize the principal molecular, clinical, and safety characteristics of approved and experimental anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugates, contextualizing the current and future landscape of drug development. [Breast Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| The authors present a comprehensive overview of the current literature concerning how miRNAs and cyclooxygenase-2 signaling interact in breast cancer progression. [Clinica Chimica Acta] |

|
| Seagen, Inc. and RemeGen Co., Ltd. announced that the two companies have entered into an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement to develop and commercialize disitamab vedotin, a novel HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate. [Seagen, Inc.] |
|
|
|
| Carrick Therapeutics announced that the US FDA has granted Fast Track designations to samuraciclib in combination with fulvestrant for CDK4/6i resistant HR+, HER2– advanced breast cancer and samuraciclib in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic TNBC.
