Insights into the Steps of Breast Cancer-Brain Metastases Development: Tumor Cell Interactions with the Blood-Brain Barrier

Fabienne Hamester et al.

Summary: Brain metastases (BM) is an increasing problem for breast cancer (BC) patients, and recent studies have shown that the BC molecular subtype has a strong impact on BM development. This study investigates the interaction between BC cells of different molecular subtypes and the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The results show that TNBC cells have a greater ability to influence the BBB in vitro and develop BM in vivo compared to luminal BC cells. Transcriptome analysis reveals potential key regulators involved in the processes of angiogenesis and cell migration and invasion. The study suggests that the ability of tumor cells to disrupt the BBB through angiogenesis activation and increased cellular motility is necessary for BC cells to overcome the BBB and develop brain metastases.

Desmosomal Cadherins in Health and Disease

Marihan Hegazy et al.

Summary: Desmosomal cadherins are a recently evolved adhesive substance that forms the core of desmosomes, which are crucial for tissue integrity. They not only resist mechanical stress, but also promote tissue differentiation and morphogenesis. Interfering with desmosomal cadherin function can lead to various diseases. Our understanding of their regulation and function is still limited, but new directions for combating desmosome-related diseases are emerging.

High blood flow shear stress values are associated with circulating tumor cells cluster disaggregation in a multi-channel microfluidic device

Alessandra Marrella et al.

Summary: This study developed a new multichannel microfluidic device to simulate different blood flow shear stresses and analyze their correlation with CTC cluster behavior. The results demonstrated that higher values of WSS decrease the viability of single CTCs and lead to the disaggregation of CTC clusters.

Interplay between desmoglein2 and hypoxia controls metastasis in breast cancer

Po-Hao Chang et al.

Summary: High expression of DSG2 promotes tumor growth, increases the prevalence of CTC clusters, and facilitates distant organ colonization. The dynamic regulation of DSG2 by hypoxia, with down-regulation in hypoxic regions of primary tumors leading to elevated EMT gene expression, allows cells to detach from the primary tumor and undergo intravasation. The derepression of DSG2 after intravasation and release of hypoxic stress is associated with increased ability to colonize distant organs, mediated by Hypoxia-Induced Factor1 alpha (HIF1 alpha).

Detection of clustered circulating tumour cells in early breast cancer

Ilona Krol et al.

Summary: By utilizing nanostructured titanium oxide-coated slides for shear-free CTC identification, this study detected clustered CTCs in multiple early breast cancer patients prior to surgical treatment, indicating their presence at early stages of the disease. These results emphasize the importance of understanding metastasis biology and the potential for anti-cluster therapeutics intervention even during the early manifestation of breast cancer.

Desmosomal proteins of DSC2 and PKP1 promote cancer cells survival and metastasis by increasing cluster formation in circulatory system

Koukou Li et al.

Summary: Cancer cells resistant to fluid shear stress showed higher abilities to form clusters, survive, and metastasize, with elevated expression of DSC2 and PKP1 proteins. The high levels of DSC2 and PKP1 facilitated cancer cell survival and metastasis, making them potential new biomarkers for targeting metastatic circulating tumor cells.

Fibronectin regulates anoikis resistance via cell aggregate formation

Hyeong-jun Han et al.

Summary: This study elucidated the relationship between cell aggregation and anoikis resistance, demonstrating that cell detachment increases cell aggregation and upregulates fibronectin levels. The findings suggest that increased fibronectin expression and enhanced desmosomal interactions are critical for cell aggregation and anoikis resistance upon cell detachment.

Molecular Mechanisms Associated with Brain Metastases in HER2-Positive and Triple Negative Breast Cancers

Sarah Bryan et al.

Summary: Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor among women globally and becomes incurable once it spreads to the brain. Approximately 30% of metastatic breast cancer patients develop brain metastases, with HER2-positive and triple-negative molecular subtypes being associated with an increased risk. Genetic and molecular mechanisms linked to these subtypes influence brain metastasis formation, presenting potential therapeutic strategies to prevent or slow progression.

Better together: circulating tumor cell clustering in metastatic cancer

Emma Schuster et al.

Summary: CTC clusters play a crucial role in cancer, with a higher metastatic potential and unfavorable clinical outcomes compared to single CTCs. While the mechanism of CTC cluster formation is still unclear, certain cell adhesion molecules and tight junction proteins have been identified as key factors.
