CCL8 Mediates Crosstalk between Endothelial Colony Forming Cells and Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells through IL-8, Aggravating Invasion and Tumorigenicity

Using an indirect co-culture system, scientists showed that co-culture increased the invasive and migratory phenotypes of both MDA-MB-231 TNBC cells and endothelial colony-forming cells.

MCPIP1-Mediated NFIC Alternative Splicing Inhibits Proliferation of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer via Cyclin D1-RB-E2F1 Axis

Investigators showed that monocyte chemotactic protein induced protein 1 (MCPIP1) was downregulated in 80 TNBC tissues and five TNBC cell lines compared to adjacent paracancerous tissues and one human immortalized breast epithelial cell line, while its high expression levels were associated with increased overall survival in TNBC patients.

Targeting Nucleotide Metabolism Enhances the Efficacy of Anthracyclines and Anti-Metabolites in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Deoxyuridine 5ā€²-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase inhibition significantly sensitized TNBC cell lines to fluoropyrimidines and anthracyclines through imbalanced nucleotide pools and increased DNA damage leading to decreased proliferation and increased cell death.

Nectin-4 and p95-ErbB2 Cooperatively Regulate Hippo Signaling-Dependent SOX2 Gene Expression, Enhancing Anchorage-Independent T47D Cell Proliferation

The authors found that nectin-4 and p95-ErbB2, but not nectin-4 and either ErbB2 or ErbB2āˆ†Ex16, cooperatively enhanced SOX2 gene expression and cell proliferation in a suspension culture.

Metabolic Modulation by CDK4/6 Inhibitor Promotes Chemokine-Mediated Recruitment of T Cells Into Mammary Tumors

Investigators showed that cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6i) could enhance efficacy of T cell-based therapies, such as adoptive T cell transfer or T cell-activating antibodies anti-OX40/anti-4-1BB, in murine breast cancer models.

The Modulation of PD-L1 Induced by the Oncogenic HBXIP for Breast Cancer Growth

The mechanisms of controlling programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) at the transcription and protein acetylation levels in promoting breast cancer growth are presented. Overexpressed PD-L1 accelerated breast cancer growth in vitro and in vivo.

Breast Cancer as an Example of Tumor Heterogeneity and Tumor Cell Plasticity during Malignant Progression

Investigators used breast cancer as an example of the origins of tumor heterogeneity and of tumor cell plasticity, as well as considering interclonal cooperativity and cell plasticity as sources of cancer cell heterogeneity.
