    Breast Cancer Plasticity Is Restricted by a LATS1-NCOR1 Repressive Axis

    Investigators reported that Large Tumor Suppressor 1 (LATS1), whose expression is often downregulated in human breast cancer, helped maintain luminal breast cancer cell identity by reducing the chromatin accessibility of genes that were characteristic of a “basal-like” state, preventing their spurious activation.

    EZH2-H3K27me3 Mediated KRT14 Upregulation Promotes TNBC Peritoneal Metastasis

    Researchers revealed that selective hyper-activation of functional enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) (H3K27me3) over non-catalytic EZH2 altered TNBC metastatic landscape and fostered its peritoneal metastasis, particularly splenic.

    MiR-182-3p Targets TRF2 and Impairs Tumor Growth of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    By performing a high-throughput luciferase screening of 54 candidate miRNAs, the authors identified miR-182-3p as a specific and efficient post-transcriptional regulator of telomeric repeat-binding factor 2 (TRF2).

    Elacestrant Demonstrates Strong Anti-Estrogenic Activity in PDX Models of Estrogen-Receptor Positive Endocrine-Resistant and Fulvestrant-Resistant Breast Cancer

    Comparison of the orally bioavailable investigational elacestrant, versus fulvestrant, demonstrated both drugs impacted tumor growth of estrogen receptor (ER)+ patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models harboring several ESR1 mutations but that elacestrant was active after acquired resistance to fulvestrant.

    The Deubiquitinating Enzyme STAMBP Is a Newly Discovered Driver of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Progression That Maintains RAI14 Protein Stability

    By performing unbiased siRNA screening, researchers identified STAM-binding protein (STAMBP,) a JAMM metalloprotease in the deubiquitinase family, as a driver of human TNBC tumor growth.

    AKT-Driven Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Is Affected by Copper Bioavailability in HER2 Negative Breast Cancer Cells via a LOXL2-Independent Mechanism

    Scientists exposed different breast cancer cell lines, including two TNBC ones, an human epidermal receptor 2 (HER2) enriched, and one cell line representative of the Luminal A molecular subtype, to short- or long-term copper-chelation by triethylenetetramine.

    Mesenchymal-Endothelial Nexus in Breast Cancer Spheroids Induces Vasculogenesis and Local Invasion in a CAM Model

    Using the synthetic tumor microenvironment mimics, investigators showed that endothelial cell organization into vascular structures was breast cancer phenotype dependent, independent of ERα expression in epithelial cancer cells, and involved mesenchymal stromal cell-mediated Notch1 signaling.

    Cheminformatics Analysis of Chemicals That Increase Estrogen and Progesterone Synthesis for a Breast Cancer Hazard Assessment

    To identify chemical exposures that may increase breast cancer risk through estradiol (E2) or progesterone (P4) steroidogenesis, the authors developed a cheminformatics approach to identify structural features associated with increase in E2 and P4.

    Comprehensive Evaluation of Breast Cancer Immunotherapy and Tumor Microenvironment Characterization Based on Interleukin Genes-Related Risk Model

    Based on the random forest, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analysis, and multivariate Cox regression analysis, researchers constructed an interleukin signature. GSE22219, GSE25065, and GSE21653 were derived as validation sets.

    Enzymatic Digestion of Cell-Surface Heparan Sulfate Alters the Radiation Response in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells

    Heparan sulfate chains were degraded in vitro as TNBC cells MDA-MB-231 and HCC1806 were treated with heparinase I and III. Subsequently, radioresistance was determined via colony formation assay after doses of 2, 4, and 6 Gy.
