The Renaissance of Cyclin Dependent Kinase Inhibitors

Tobias Ettl et al.

Summary: This review provides an overview of CDK inhibitors, focusing on their development and clinical use for the treatment of head and neck cancer. CDK inhibitors have shown potential in combination therapy, enhancing the efficacy of chemo-, radio-, and immunotherapy by overcoming resistance in some tumor types. The success of CDK inhibitors in breast cancer has led to their clinical approval. The review also discusses the molecular mechanisms of CDKs and the latest research on CDK inhibition in the treatment of head and neck cancer.

18F-FDG PET/CT Metabolic Response With Hormone Receptor-Positive, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Negative Breast Cancer Treated With Cyclin-Dependent 4/6 Kinase Inhibitors

Nuh Filizoglu et al.

Summary: The dysregulation of the cyclin D-CDK4/6-INK4-RB pathway in breast cancer can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation. Recently, three CDK4/6 inhibitors have been approved by the FDA as first-line treatment for hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. However, the metabolic response to these new drugs has not been extensively demonstrated.

Triple-negative and triple-positive breast cancer cells reciprocally control their growth and migration via the S100A4 pathway

Elena A. Dukhanina et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of S100A4 in regulating tumor cell proliferation and migration in breast carcinoma cell lines TPBC and TNBC. TPBC negatively impacted TNBC growth and migration, while extracellular S100A4 reduced TPBC proliferation. The intracellular level of S100A4 in TNBC decreased, with an increase in the dimeric form's contribution to overall S100A4 concentration. The S100A4 pathway involved dexamethasone-sensitive mechanisms in regulating intracellular and extracellular S100A4 pools.

ZL-n-91, a specific Phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, suppresses the growth of triple-negative breast cancer

Longming Liang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the anticancer effects of a novel PDE4 inhibitor, ZL-n-91, on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and its underlying mechanism. The results showed that ZL-n-91 inhibited TNBC cell proliferation, induced cell apoptosis, and caused cell cycle arrest. It also downregulated cell cycle-related proteins and inhibited the transcription of DNA repair genes, leading to an intracellular DNA damage response. In addition, ZL-n-91 prevented the growth of TNBC tumor xenografts in nude mice. These findings suggest the potential use of ZL-n-91 in anticancer therapy for TNBC.

Fertility Counseling in BRCA1/2-Mutated Women with Breast Cancer and Healthy Individuals

Joanna Kufel-Grabowska et al.

Summary: Breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, and young women with breast cancer account for a small percentage of cases. The availability of next-generation sequencing has improved the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, but the treatment of young breast cancer patients may impact their fertility. Therefore, in addition to oncological treatment, patients need to receive genetic counseling, fertility preservation, and psychological support.

Resistance to CDK4/6 inhibition: Mechanisms and strategies to overcome a therapeutic problem in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer

Marios C. Papadimitriou et al.

Summary: Selective CDK4/6 inhibitors are approved for the treatment of HR+, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer, but resistance is a major concern. Various mechanisms of resistance have been identified, including cell cycle-related mechanisms and bypass mechanisms. Understanding these mechanisms can aid in the development of new treatment strategies.

PSMG2-controlled proteasome-autophagy balance mediates the tolerance for MEK-targeted therapy in triple-negative breast cancer

Xueyan Wang et al.

Summary: By performing a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 library screening, researchers discovered that inhibiting PSMG2 can increase the sensitivity of triple-negative breast cancer cells to the MEK inhibitor AZD6244. The mechanism involves impairing proteasome function through PSMG2 knockdown, which activates autophagy-mediated degradation of PDPK1. This degradation enhances the tumor growth inhibition induced by AZD6244 by interrupting negative feedback signals towards the AKT pathway.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Summary: Breast cancer brain metastasis is a common cause of death among breast cancer patients, with poor prognosis due to limited permeability of the blood-brain barrier and lack of effective treatments. While the sequence of metastasis events is accepted, the underlying mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated.
