    CDK12 Promotes Tumorigenesis but Induces Vulnerability to Therapies Inhibiting Folate One-Carbon Metabolism in Breast Cancer

    Researchers showed that transgenic cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) overexpression in the mouse mammary gland per se was sufficient to drive the emergence of multiple and multifocal tumors, while, in cooperation with known oncogenes, it promoted earlier tumor onset and metastasis.

    Loss of RBMS1 Promotes Anti-Tumor Immunity through Enabling PD-L1 Checkpoint Blockade in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    Scientists reported that the RNA binding protein RBMS1 was prevalent among immune-cold TNBC and provided a new immunotherapeutic strategy against TNBC by targeting RBMS1.

    RUNX2 Recruits the NuRD(MTA1)/CRL4B Complex to Promote Breast Cancer Progression and Bone Metastasis

    The authors demonstrated that the runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2)/NuRD(MTA1)/cullin 4B-Ring E3 ligase (CRL4B) complex promoted the proliferation, invasion, tumorigenesis, bone metastasis, cancer stemness of breast cancer in vitro and in vivo.

    UBR5 Targets Tumor Suppressor CDC73 Proteolytically to Promote Aggressive Breast Cancer

    Researchers demonstrated that CDC73 was a key substrate that impeded ubiquitin protein ligase E3 component n-recognin 5 (UBR5)’s profound tumorigenic and metastatic activities in TNBC.

    Parthenolide Reverses the Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition Process in Breast Cancer by Targeting TGFbeta1: In Vitro and In Silico Studies

    Scientists assessed the efficacy of parthenolide on epithelial to mesenchymal transition and its underlying mechanisms in both lowly metastatic, estrogen-receptor positive, MCF-7 cells and highly metastatic, triple-negative MDA-MB-231 cells.

    Anti-Breast-Cancer Activity of Self-Fermented Bovistella sinensis Lloyd Extracts through the Mitochondrial ROS-Induced Apoptosis In Vitro

    Dry fruiting body of Bovistella sinensis Lloyd was self-fermented to improve the anti-breast-cancer activity and the mitochondrial reactive oxygen species-induced apoptosis of key compounds was investigated.

    Abstract

    Synergy between Sublethal Doses of Shikonin and Metformin Fully Inhibits Breast Cancer Cell Migration and Reverses Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition

    Researchers investigated the potential synergy between shikonin and anti-diabetic metformin against tumorigenic properties of breast cancer cell line MCF-7.
