    Parallel Genomic Alterations of Antigen and Payload Targets Mediate Polyclonal Acquired Clinical Resistance to Sacituzumab Govitecan in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    Researchers identified mechanisms of TNBC resistance to Sacituzumab Govitecan through RNA and whole-exome sequencing of pre-treatment and post-progression specimens.

    KAT6A Acetylation of SMAD3 Regulates Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cell Recruitment, Metastasis, and Immunotherapy in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    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.

    Glucose-Sensitive Acetylation of Seryl tRNA Synthetase Regulates Lipid Synthesis in Breast Cancer

    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.

    A Transcription-Based Mechanism for Oncogenic β-Catenin-Induced Lethality in BRCA1/2-Deficient Cells

    Investigators reported that activation of β-catenin, an oncogene of the WNT signaling pathway, inhibited proliferation of BRCA1/2-deficient cells.

    Preclinical and Clinical Characterization of Fibroblast-Derived Neuregulin-1 on Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab Activity in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

    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.

    Abstract

    Slit2 Inhibits Breast Cancer Metastasis by Activating M1-Like Phagocytic and Anti-Fibrotic Macrophages

    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.

    Abstract

    PDSS1-Mediated Activation of CAMK2A-STAT3 Signaling Promotes Metastasis in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    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.

    Abstract

    Prolonged Estrogen Deprivation Triggers a Broad Immunosuppressive Phenotype in Breast Cancer Cells

    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.

    Hyperleptinemia in Obese State Renders Luminal Breast Cancers Refractory to Tamoxifen by Coordinating a Crosstalk between Med1, miR205 and ErbB

    Exogenous leptin abrogated tamoxifen-mediated growth inhibition and potentiated breast tumor growth even in the presence of tamoxifen.

    Peroxiredoxin-1 Tyr194 Phosphorylation Regulates LOX-Dependent Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in 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.

    Abstract

    Combination of ZEN-3694 with CDK4/6 Inhibitors Reverses Acquired Resistance to CDK4/6 Inhibitors in ER-Positive Breast 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.

    Abstract

    Auto-Inhibitory Intramolecular S5/S6 Interaction in the TRPV6 Channel Regulates Breast Cancer Cell Migration and Invasion

    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.

    CircRNA Circ-ERBB2 Elevates Warburg Effect and Facilitates Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Growth by the miR-136-5p/PDK4 Axis

    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.
