CURRENT PUBLICATIONS (Ranked by Impact Factor of the Journal) LABORATORY RESEARCH Protease-Activated Receptors Mediate Cross-Talk Between Coagulation and Fibrinolysis Researchers compared the protease-activated receptor-dependent expression of urokinase plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in two murine mammary adencocarcinoma cell lines: metastatic 4T1 cells and non-metastatic 67NR cells. [Blood] RNA Helicase A is a DNA-Binding Partner for EGFR-Mediated Transcriptional Activation in the Nucleus Consistently, researchers observed a positive correlation of the nuclear expression of EGFR, RHA, and cyclin D1 in human breast cancer samples. [Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A] Synergistic Chemosensitivity of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cell Lines to PARP Inhibition, Gemcitabine and Cisplatin BRCA1 mutant cells exhibit sensitivity to gemcitabine, cisplatin and PARP inhibition, therefore, researchers hypothesized that triple negative cancer cells may also exhibit sensitivity to these drugs. [Cancer Res] Secreted and Membrane-Bound Isoforms of Protease ADAM9 Have Opposing Effects on Breast Cancer Cell Migration In this study, researchers show that ADAM9-S, a secreted variant, promotes breast cancer cell migration in a manner requiring its metalloprotease activity, whereas ADAM9-L, a transmembrane protein, suppresses cell migration independent of its metalloprotease activity. [Cancer Res] Transforming Growth Factor-Beta-Induced Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Facilitates Epidermal Growth Factor-Dependent Breast Cancer Progression Researchers show in this study that murine metastatic 4T1 breast cancer cells formed compact and dense spheroids when cultured under three-dimensional conditions, which was in sharp contrast to the branching phenotypes exhibited by their nonmetastatic counterparts. [Oncogene] ITF2 is a Target of CXCR4 in MDA-MB-231 Breast Cancer Cells and is Associated with Reduced Survival in Estrogen Receptor-Negative Breast Cancer Researchers propose that ITF2 is one of the CXCR4 targets, which is involved in CXCR4-dependent tumor growth and invasion of breast cancer cells. [Cancer Biol Ther] CLINICAL RESEARCH Alcohol Consumption and Breast Cancer Recurrence and Survival Among Women With Early-Stage Breast Cancer: The Life After Cancer Epidemiology Study The purpose of this study was to examine the association of alcohol consumption after breast cancer diagnosis with recurrence and mortality among early-stage breast cancer survivors. [J Clin Oncol] Molecular Anatomy of Breast Cancer Stroma and Its Prognostic Value in Estrogen Receptor-Positive and -Negative Cancers The purpose of this study was to identify genes enriched in breast cancer stroma, assess the stromal gene expression differences between estrogen receptor (ER) -positive and -negative cancers, and separately determine their prognostic value in these two subtypes of breast cancers.
