    Evolutionary Histories of Breast Cancer and Related Clones

    Using phylogenetic analyses of multiple microdissected samples from both cancer and non-cancer lesions, investigators showed unique evolutionary histories of breast cancers harboring der(1;16), a common driver alteration found in roughly 20% of breast cancers.

    Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Facilitate Breast Cancer Progression through Exosomal circTBPL1-Mediated Intercellular Communication

    Exosomal circRNA profiling of breast cancer-derived cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and normal fibroblasts was detected by high-throughput sequencing, and upregulated circTBPL1 expression was identified in CAF exosomes.

    Tn Antigen Promotes Breast Cancer Metastasis via Impairment of CASC4

    Scientists investigated the impact of Tn antigen expression on breast cancer metastasis and its underlying mechanisms. The expression of Tn antigen was induced in two breast cancer cell lines by deleting T-synthase or Cosmc.

    Abstract

    Correlation Between Connexin 43 Expression in Circulating Tumor Cells and Biological Characteristics of Breast Cancer

    Investigators determined circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in 156 patients, who had breast cancer with a disease course of two or more years. They also measured the expression of connexin 43 in the CTCs.
