    TOP STORY

    Inactivation of LATS1/2 Drives Luminal-Basal Plasticity to Initiate Basal-Like Mammary Carcinomas

    Using genetic mouse models and ex vivo primary organoid cultures, scientists showed that conditional co-deletion of the LATS1 and LATS2 kinases in mature mammary luminal epithelial cells promoted the development of Krt14 and Sox9-expressing basal-like carcinomas that metastasize over time.

    Breast Cancer Prevention by Short-Term Inhibition of TGFβ Signaling

    Investigators showed that short-term TGFBR inhibitor treatment of peripubertal ACI inbred and Sprague Dawley outbred rats induced lasting changes and prevented estrogen- and carcinogen-induced mammary tumors, respectively.

    The Insulin and IGF Signaling Pathway Sustains Breast Cancer Stem Cells by IRS2/PI3K-Mediated Regulation of MYC

    Researchers reported that insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling supported breast cancer stem cell self-renewal in an IRS2-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent manner that involved the activation and stabilization of MYC.

    FBXL2 Promotes E47 Protein Instability to Inhibit Breast Cancer Stemness and Paclitaxel Resistance

    Scientists demonstrated that the F-box protein FBXL2 was a critical negative regulator of breast cancer stem cell stemness and that downregulation of FBXL2 played a causal role in TNBC drug resistance.

    Abstract

    RBCK1 Regulates the Progression of ER-Positive Breast Cancer through the HIF1α Signaling

    Investigators identified RBCK1 as an important regulator of hypoxia-inducing factor (HIF) 1α signaling pathway which is activated in breast cancer tumor cells in hypoxia.

    Natural Product Preferentially Targets Redox and Metabolic Adaptations and Aberrantly Active STAT3 to Inhibit Breast Tumor Growth In Vivo

    Using TNBC as a model, the authors showed that compared to normal human breast epithelial cells, the TNBC cells, MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 that harbor constitutively active STAT3 also expressed higher glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, thioredoxin reductase 1, NADPH, and glutathione levels for survival.

    Acetylation of Checkpoint Suppressor 1 Enhances Its Stability and Promotes the Progression of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    Researchers found that checkpoint suppressor 1 had a high abundance in TNBC and its expression was tightly associated with malignant phenotype and poor outcomes of patients.

    Role of Androgen Receptor Signaling Pathway-Related lncRNAs in the Prognosis and Immune Infiltration of Breast Cancer

    Scientists investigated the effect of the androgen receptor signaling pathway-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) on the process of subtype classification and the tumor microenvironment of breast cancer.

    Transcriptomics Indicate Nuclear Division and Cell Adhesion Not Recapitulated in MCF7 and MCF10A Compared to Luminal A Breast Tumors

    Investigators performed RNA-seq analyses on a combined dataset of 2D and 3D cultures of tumorigenic MCF7 and non-tumorigenic MCF10A.
