The oncogenic potential of NANOG: An important cancer induction mediator

Basira Najafzadeh et al.

Summary: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a unique population in tumors, and the transcription factor NANOG plays a pivotal role in conferring CSCs with their characteristics and functions. Understanding and targeting NANOG may be key in diminishing CSCs, sensitizing tumors to chemotherapy, and eradicating cancer cells.

MicroRNA-383-5p restrains the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells and promotes apoptosis via inhibition of PD-L1

Shirin Azarbarzin et al.

Summary: The study revealed that miR-383-5p exerts multiple effects on breast cancer cells, including reducing cell viability, inducing apoptosis, inhibiting cell migration, and exerting anti-tumor effects through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Additionally, miR-383-5p can promote T-cell secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

In silico analysis of the association of hsa-miR-16 expression and cell survival in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells subjected to photodynamic therapy

Maria Guadalupe Cupido-Sanchez et al.

Summary: This study compared the differential expression of microRNAs between untreated MDA-MB-231 cells and those surviving photodynamic therapy (PDT). The results showed a significant decrease in hsa-miR-16 expression in cells surviving PDT, which may have altered its downstream target network. Analysis also predicted a network related to cell cycle, proliferation, and apoptosis, suggesting an enhanced survival capacity in the treated population.

The potential of photodynamic therapy in current breast cancer treatment methodologies

Elzbieta Ostasnka et al.

Summary: Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a well-known alternative cancer treatment that relies on light activation of a photosensitizer in the presence of oxygen to induce cytotoxic effects in cancer cells. Proper light delivery and the selection of an appropriate photosensitizer are crucial for the effectiveness of PDT in treating cancer.

The role of CD44 in cancer chemoresistance: A concise review

Zohreh Yaghobi et al.

Summary: CD44, overexpressed on cancer stem cells, interacts with hyaluronan to influence tumor development and chemoresistance, inhibiting the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapy medications. Therefore, high expression of CD44 is associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients.

From Micro to Long: Non-Coding RNAs in Tamoxifen Resistance of Breast Cancer Cells

Jessica Fernanda Barazetti et al.

Summary: Breast cancer is a common disease that often recurs due to resistance to tamoxifen. Understanding estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer tumors, which are the most common subtype, is crucial for more effective treatment. Non-coding RNAs play a role in tamoxifen resistance and further exploration of their mechanisms may lead to more personalized and targeted therapies.
