Defining the ATM-Mediated Barrier to Tumorigenesis in Somatic Mammary Cells Following ErbB2 Activation This in vivo study uncovers an unexpected effect of ErbB2 activation previously known for its prosurvival roles, and suggests that protection of the ATM-mediated DDR-p53 signaling pathway may be important in breast cancer prevention. [Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A] Interaction of Developmental Transcription Factor HOX11 with Steroid Receptor Coactivator SRC-1 Mediates Resistance to Endocrine Therapy in Breast Cancer Findings define a biomolecular interaction network that drives an adaptive response to endocrine therapy with negative consequences for survival in breast cancer. [Cancer Res] Common Genetic Variants Associated with Breast Cancer and Mammographic Density Measures That Predict Disease Findings could help elucidate how common breast cancer susceptibility variants and mammographic density measures are associated with breast cancer susceptibility. [Cancer Res] Estrogen Suppresses Mixed Lineage Kinase 3-Mediated Apoptosis Sensitivity in ER+ Breast Cancer Cells Results indicate that 17(beta)-estradiol inhibits the proapoptotic function of mixed lineage kinase 3 as a mechanism to limit cytotoxic drug-induced death of ER+ breast cancer cells. [Cancer Res] Antiestrogens Induce Transforming Growth Factor (Beta)-Mediated Immunosuppression in Breast Cancer Evidence illustrates that antiestrogen induces immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment, through a TGF(beta)-dependent mechanism that may contribute to the development of antiestrogen resistance in breast cancer. [Cancer Res] Resistance to ErbB2 Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Breast Cancer Is Mediated by Calcium-Dependent Activation of RelA Elucidating the regulation of RelA by lapatinib in ErbB2+ breast cancers, and showing its role in the development of therapeutic resistance to lapatinib, identifies another therapeutic target to overcome or prevent the onset of resistance to lapatinib in some women with ErbB2+ breast cancers. [Mol Cancer Ther] CLINICAL RESEARCH Phase I/II Trial of Metronomic Chemotherapy With Daily Dalteparin and Cyclophosphamide, Twice-Weekly Methotrexate, and Daily Prednisone As Therapy for Metastatic Breast Cancer Using Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Soluble Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor Levels As Markers of Response Metronomic daily dalteparin and oral cyclophosphamide, twice-weekly methotrexate, and daily prednisone are safe, well tolerated, and clinically active in metastatic breast cancer. [J Clin Oncol] The Predictive Value of HLA Class I Tumor Cell Expression and Presence of Intratumoral Regulatory T Cell for Chemotherapy in Patients with Early Breast Cancer HLA class I and regulatory T cell can predict response to chemotherapy with high discriminative power and these markers could be applied in response prediction to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. [Clin Cancer Res] Low-Molecular-Weight Cyclin E Can Bypass Letrozole-Induced G1 Arrest in Human Breast Cancer Cells and Tumors Data support the clinical investigation of CDK2 inhibitor therapy for postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive, low-molecular-weight cyclin E-expressing breast cancer.

POLICY NEWS Senate Rejects Stem Cell Legislation By a vote of 21 to 12, the South Dakota Senate shot down a bill that could have repealed South Dakota’s ban on embryonic stem cell treatments. [South Dakota Senate, United States] Parsing National Institutes of Health’s 2011 Budget: Is Big Science Up, Small Science Down? Is National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins planning to steer his ocean liner of an institute toward "big biology" at the expense of single-investigator grants? [National Institutes of Health, United States] Medvedev Talks Science in Moscow Russian science has been getting some bad press recently, what with a recent report on its declining productivity in scientific papers and a letter from expatriate scientists to the Russian president and prime minister warning of the parlous state of basic research.
