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.

Antibody–Drug Nanoparticle Induces Synergistic Treatment Efficacies in HER2 Positive Breast Cancer Cells

Antibody–drug nanoparticles were engineered by synthesizing pure anti-cancer drug nanorods in the core of nanoparticles with a therapeutic monoclonal antibody, Trastuzumab on the surface of NRs for specific targeting and synergistic treatments of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive breast cancer cells.

Breast Cancer Dependence on MCL-1 Is Due to Its Canonical Anti-apoptotic Function

Scientists investigated the role of MCL-1 in clinically relevant breast cancer models and address whether the canonical role of MCL-1 in apoptosis, which can be targeted using BH3-mimetic drugs, is the major function for MCL-1 in breast cancer.

MiR-142-3p Targets HMGA2 and Suppresses Breast Cancer Malignanc

The authors demonstrated that the miRNA miR-142-3p directly targeted the 3′ untranslated region of HMGA2, which encoded an onco-embryonic protein that was overexpressed in most cancers, including breast cancer.

The Deubiquitinating Enzyme USP15 Stabilizes ERα and Promotes Breast Cancer Progression

By exploring the regulatory mechanisms of estrogen receptor α (ERα) at levels of post-translational modifications, investigators identified the deubiquitinase USP15 as a novel protector for preventing ERα degradation and a critical driver for breast cancer progression.

Oleandrin, a Cardiac Glycoside, Induces Immunogenic Cell Death via the PERK/elF2α/ATF4/CHOP Pathway in Breast Cancer

Researchers showed that oleandrin treatment triggered breast cancer cell immunogenic cell death by inducing calreticulin exposure on cell surface and the release of high-mobility group protein B1, heat shock protein 70/90, and adenosine triphosphate.
