Tumor Suppressor DEAR1 Regulates Mammary Epithelial Cell Fate and Predicts Early Onset and Metastasis in Triple Negative Breast Cancer
DEAR1 loss in human mammary epithelial cells resulted in significantly enhanced mammosphere formation that was accelerated in the presence of TGF-β/SMAD3 signaling.
[Haematologica] 301 patients with a median age 60 years were enrolled. Of them, 287 and 274 patients collected ≥2 and ≥4×106 CD34+ cells/kg, respectively, with a median of 9.9×106 CD34+ cells/kg collected.
[EMBO Journal] The authors provide an in-depth review of the metabolic and epigenetic interplay regulating hematopoietic stem cell fate, and discuss the influence of metabolic stress stimuli, as well as alterations occurring during leukemic development.
