| Investigators described the in vitro and in vivo activity of formulated 95 bp minicircles bearing one or several STAT3 binding sequences in TNBC. [Molecular Therapy-Nucleic Acids] |

|
|
| Researchers focused on the compounds without affecting cell viability and screened out three potential compounds that could significantly attenuate the stemness of breast cancer cells, as evident by the decrease of stemness marker expression. [Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences] |
|
|
|
| To validate the role of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) as a therapeutic target and to identify new synergistic drug combinations, scientists performed a high-throughput drug combination screen in various cell lines derived from BRCA1-deficient and -proficient mouse mammary tumors. [Breast Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Investigators revealed that cryptolepine could effectively suppress the process of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) mRNA translation rather than transcription. [Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy] |
|
|
|
| Researchers highlighted the significant crosstalk between tumor cells and the endothelium, including increased von Willebrand Factor secretion, which may have contributed to tumor metastasis. [Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis] |
|
|
|
| ST8SIA6-AS1 displayed a higher expression in TNBC cells. Silencing ST8SIA6-AS1 impaired cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, migration, and invasion in vitro, and slowed tumor growth in vivo. [Environmental Toxicology] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported that the chromatin remodeler microrchidia 2 (MORC2) expression positively correlated with β-catenin expression in breast cancer cell lines and patients. [Medical Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators defined lysosomal acid lipase A (LIPA) as a viable molecular target in TNBC and identified a stereospecific small molecule that bound LIPA. [Nature Cancer] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors highlight that the metabolic states/shifts of dormant breast cancer (BC) cells seem to be dependent on different BC subtypes and receptor status; however, more work needs to be done to fully map these differences. [British Journal of Cancer] |

| Susan G. Komen® has awarded $21.7 million to fund 48 new research projects at 26 distinguished academic medical institutions in the US that are focused on improving patient outcomes – particularly for people with the most aggressive breast cancers, or who have experienced a recurrence or metastasis.
