    NEAT1 Is Essential for Metabolic Changes That Promote Breast Cancer Growth and Metastasis

    Investigators showed that the deletion of the long noncoding RNA Neat1 in MMTV-PyVT mice profoundly impaired tumor initiation, growth, and metastasis, specifically switching off the penultimate step of glycolysis.

    Parity-Induced Changes to Mammary Epithelial Cells Control NKT Cell Expansion and Mammary Oncogenesis

    The authors illustrated how pregnancy-induced changes modulated the communication between mammary epithelial cells and the immune microenvironment and established a causal link between pregnancy, the immune microenvironment, and mammary oncogenesis.

    FDI-6 Inhibits the Expression and Function of FOXM1 to Sensitize BRCA-Proficient Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells to Olaparib by Regulating Cell Cycle Progression and DNA Damage Repair

    Scientists found that repression of the oncogenic transcription factor FOXM1 using FOXM1 shRNA or FOXM1 inhibitor FDI-6 could sensitize BRCA-proficient TNBC to PARP inhibitor Olaparib in vitro and in vivo.

    Triple Targeting of Breast Tumors Driven by Hormonal Receptors and HER2

    Investigators tested the activity of co-targeting of estrogen receptor, HER2, and cyclin-dependent kinases 4/6 therapy with tucatinib, palbociclib, and fulvestrant in HR+/HER2+ human breast tumor cell lines and xenograft models.

    Syntaxin4-Munc18c Interaction Promotes Breast Tumor Invasion and Metastasis by Regulating MT1-MMP Trafficking

    Scientists observed that expression of a construct derived from the N-terminus of Syntaxin4 (Stx4), which interfered with Stx4-Munc18c interaction, led to perturbed trafficking of MT1-MMP, and reduced invadopodium-based invasion in vitro, in models of TNBC.

    Cisplatin−Cyclooxygenase Inhibitor Conjugates, Free and Immobilised in Mesoporous Silica SBA-15, Prove Highly Potent against Triple-Negative MDA-MB-468 Breast Cancer Cell Line

    For the development of anticancer drugs with higher activity and reduced toxicity, two approaches were combined: preparation of platinum complexes exhibiting higher stability compared to their platinum counterparts and loading them into mesoporous silica SBA-15.

    Circular RNA circRPPH1 Promotes Breast Cancer Progression via circRPPH1-miR-512-5p-STAT1 Axis

    Non-coding RNAs including circular RNAs have been reported to be involved in different aspects during tumorigenesis and progression. Scientists explored the biological functions and underlying mechanism of circRPPH1 in breast cancer.

    Adipose Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome Formulation as a Biotherapeutic to Inhibit Growth of Drug Resistant Triple Negative Breast Cancer

    Researchers developed a protocol for processing human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cell secretome formulation of varying concentration. Its molecular composition was evaluated, and its effectiveness in vitro using breast cancer cell lines.

    Nm23-H1 Activator Phenylbutenoid Dimer Exerts Cytotoxic Effects on Metastatic Breast Cancer Cells by Inducing Mitochondrial Dysfunction Only under Glucose Starvation

    The authors found that a small molecule phenylbutenoid dimer NMac1, a previously identified anti-metastatic agent, had novel anti-proliferative effects only under glucose starvation in metastatic breast cancer cells.

    Enigmatic Role of Exosomes in Breast Cancer Progression and Therapy

    Scientists review the role of exosomes in the breast cancer (BC) pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapy as well as the role of tumor derived exosomes in the mechanistic pathways of BC metastasis, immunosuppression, migration, dormancy and chemo-resistance.

    The Molecular Mechanism of Chronic Stress Affecting the Occurrence and Development of Breast Cancer and Potential Drug Therapy

    The authors review previous research on the correlation between chronic stress and the occurrence and development of breast cancer, particularly the molecular mechanism through which chronic stress promotes breast cancer via neurotransmitters secreted by the nervous system.

    ENHERTU® (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) Additional Analyses Further Reinforce Ground-Breaking Efficacy in Patients With HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer

    New results from the DESTINY-Breast03 Phase III trial showed that Enhertu demonstrated a higher progression-free survival and objective response rate in pre-specified patient subgroups compared to trastuzumab emtansine in patients with HER2-positive unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer.
