    CD16+ Fibroblasts Foster a Trastuzumab-Refractory Microenvironment that Is Reversed by VAV2 Inhibition

    An abundance of CD16+ fibroblasts in HER2+ breast cancer patients was associated with poor prognosis and response to trastuzumab. Functionally, upon trastuzumab stimulation, CD16+ fibroblasts reduced drug delivery by enhancing extracellular matrix stiffness.

    Incorporating Cell Hierarchy to Decipher the Functional Diversity of Single Cells

    Scientists incorporated cell hierarchy to study functional diversity at subpopulation, club, and cell layers. Accordingly, they implemented a package, SEAT, to construct cell hierarchies utilizing structure entropy by minimizing the global uncertainty in cell–cell graphs.

    Oncolytic Urabe Mumps Virus: A Promising Virotherapy for Triple Negative Breast Cancer

    Two oncolytic Urabe mumps virus clinical trial virus stock (MuV-U-Japan) isolates, MuV-UA and MuV-UC, potently killed a panel of established human breast cancer cell lines in vitro, and significantly extended survival of nude mice with human TNBC MDA-MB-231 tumor xenografts in vivo.

    HNRNPU Promotes the Progression of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer via RNA Transcription and Alternative Splicing Mechanisms

    Investigators tested the pro-oncogenic role of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U (HNRNPU), which could induce the proliferation and migration of TNBC cells via its association with DEAD box helicase 5 protein.

    Microfluidic Live Tracking and Transcriptomics of Cancer-Immune Cell Doublets Link Intercellular Proximity and Gene Regulation

    Scientists tracked the temporal variations in natural killer—triple-negative breast cancer cell distances and compared them with terminal cellular transcriptome profiles.

    Tumor Suppressor DEAR1 Regulates Mammary Epithelial Cell Fate and Predicts Early Onset and Metastasis in Triple Negative Breast Cancer

    DEAR1 loss in human mammary epithelial cells resulted in significantly enhanced mammosphere formation that was accelerated in the presence of TGF-β/SMAD3 signaling.

    ODP539 AIPB Is a Biomarker for ER+/PR+/Her2 Breast Cancers

    To confirm Aromatase Interacting Partner in Breast (AIPB)’s regulatory role, investigators developed a conditional expression of AIPB by stably selecting with puromycin from MCF-7 cells and thus regulating AIPB expression under a tetracycline promoter.

    Abstract

    PDIA3 Activity Promotes Extracellular Accumulation of Proteins Relevant to Basal Breast Cancer Outcomes in Human MDA-MB-A231 Breast Cancer Cells

    Scientists showed that either prior PDIA3-inhibition by the disulphide isomerase inhibitor 16F16 or depletion of heparin-binding proteins strongly reduced the activity of conditioned medium of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells to support pro-migratory cell spreading by newly adherent MDA-MB-231 cells.
