    TOP STORY

    PRMT5 Is an Actionable Therapeutic Target in CDK4/6 Inhibitor-Resistant ER+/RB-Deficient Breast Cancer

    Through a genome-wide CRISPR screen, investigators identified protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) as a molecular vulnerability in ER+/RB1-knockout breast cancer cells.

    CARM1 Drives Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Progression by Coordinating with HIF1A

    The authors reported that coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) promoted proliferation, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, and stemness in TNBC.

    Abstract

    ACSL4-Mediated Membrane Phospholipid Remodeling Induces Integrin β1 Activation to Facilitate Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Metastasis

    Investigators showed that metastatic TNBC tumors harbored more unsaturated phospholipids, especially long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, at the sn-2 position of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine compared to primary tumors.

    Abstract

    Cell Morphology Best Predicts Tumorigenicity and Metastasis In Vivo across Multiple TNBC Cell Lines of Different Metastatic Potential

    Scientists sought to classify each breast cancer cell line as poorly or highly metastatic by characterizing tumor growth and metastasis in a murine model of six commonly used human TNBC xenografts.

    Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Suppresses STING-Mediated Type I IFN Expression in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    Using TNBC systems, the authors discovered the aryl hydrocarbon receptor suppressed type I interferon expression via inhibition of stimulator of interferon genes (STING), a key mediator of interferon production.

    MicroRNA-561-3p Indirectly Regulates the PD-L1 Expression by Targeting ZEB1, HIF1A, and MYC Genes in Breast Cancer

    Researchers investigated the inhibitory effect of microRNA-561-3p on ZEB1, HIF1A, and MYC expression as oncogenes that have the most impact on programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) overexpression and cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle in breast cancer cell lines.

    Outlook and Opportunities for Engineered Environments of Breast Cancer Dormancy

    The authors address clinical and preclinical approaches to treating breast cancer dormancy, how precisely controlled artificial environments reveal key interactions that regulate breast cancer dormancy, and how future generations of biomaterials could answer further questions about breast cancer dormancy.

    Revolutionizing Breast Cancer Treatment: Harnessing the Related Mechanisms and Drugs for Regulated Cell Death

    Scientists discuss the unique regulatory mechanisms of cuproptosis, ferroptosis and pyroptosis in breast cancer, and the mechanisms through which they are affected by conventional cancer drugs.

    USask Breast Cancer Research Targets Post-Treatment Function, Rehabilitation

    Dr. Angelica Lang’s research project received $348,076 over four years from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Project Grant program. Lang’s research explores relationships between types of surgeries and subsequent movement pattern alterations, as well as their implications for post-surgery rehabilitation.
