    Senescent CAFs Mediate Immunosuppression and Drive Breast Cancer Progression

    Scientists identified a subset of myofibroblast cancer-associated fibroblast (CAFs) that were senescent (senCAF) in mouse and human breast tumors. SenCAFs were present in HER2+, ER+, and triple-negative breast cancer and in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) where they predicted tumor recurrence.

    CARM1 Hypermethylates the NuRD Chromatin Remodeling Complex to Promote Cell Cycle Gene Expression and Breast Cancer Development

    Investigators revealed a gene activation program that required arginine methylation established by coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) on a key chromatin remodeler.

    IL1R2 Blockade Alleviates Immunosuppression and Potentiates Anti-PD-1 Efficacy in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    Researchers observed that interleukin-1 receptor type 2 (IL1R2) blockade strongly attenuated macrophage recruitment and the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages to inhibit breast tumor-initiating cell (BTIC) self-renewal and CD8+ T cell exhaustion.

    Loss of Tumor-Derived SMAD4 Enhances Primary Tumor Growth but Not Metastasis Following BMP4 Signaling

    Using preclinical models of spontaneous breast cancer metastasis, scientists investigated the impact of SMAD4 on the ability of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) to regulate tumor growth and metastasis.
