Therapeutic Role of Tamoxifen for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Leveraging the Interaction Between ERβ and Mutant p53

Lauren Scarpetti et al.

Summary: The absence of effective therapeutic targets and aggressive nature of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) makes it difficult to treat. Studies on the functional role of estrogen receptor beta (ER beta) in TNBC have yielded inconsistent results. However, recent preclinical studies have shown the potential therapeutic utility of ER beta in the context of mutant p53 expression. This case study provides supporting evidence for the use of tamoxifen in p53-mutant, ER beta+TNBC, especially in the setting of brain metastasis.

The Role of Extracellular Matrix Proteins in Breast Cancer

Arkadiusz Lepucki et al.

Summary: The extracellular matrix is a dynamic molecular network composed of various molecules that play a critical role in regulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, influencing cell growth, migration, and differentiation, as well as serving as a reservoir for cytokines and growth factors. The breakdown of normal ECM and its replacement with tumor ECM is a key driver for tumorigenesis and metastasis, affecting the composition of the tumor microenvironment and promoting malignant progression. Abnormal ECM also affects stromal cells, tumor-associated angiogenesis, inflammation, and the immune response. Understanding the role of ECM in breast cancer can help identify disease markers and therapeutic targets.

Clinical translation of patient-derived tumour organoids- bottlenecks and strategies

Malia Alexandra Foo et al.

Summary: Multiple three-dimensional tumour organoid models assisted by multi-omics and AI have contributed to preclinical drug development and precision medicine. However, there are challenges in translating these models to clinical applications. This review identifies potential strategies to overcome these limitations.

A Platform of Patient-Derived Microtumors Identifies Individual Treatment Responses and Therapeutic Vulnerabilities in Ovarian Cancer

Nicole Anderle et al.

Summary: This study developed a new patient-derived tumor model for ovarian cancer, which consists of microtumors and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. The model successfully identified treatment-sensitive and treatment-resistant tumor models and can be used for personalized cancer treatments in the future.

Breast cancer as an example of tumour heterogeneity and tumour cell plasticity during malignant progression

Fabiana Luond et al.

Summary: Tumour heterogeneity, arising from intrinsic and extrinsic factors, has negative impacts on therapy response and prognosis. Cancer cell plasticity enables rapid adaptation to microenvironmental cues, playing a critical role in tumour progression and heterogeneity.

Patient-Derived Explants as a Precision Medicine Patient-Proximal Testing Platform Informing Cancer Management

Abby R. Templeton et al.

Summary: This article investigates the use of patient-derived explants (PDEs) in cancer treatment, revealing their limited longevity which may not be suitable for integrating personalized treatment options. Therefore, improving the longevity of PDEs is crucial to enhance the feasibility and effectiveness of personalized therapies.

Targeting CSF1R Alone or in Combination with PD1 in Experimental Glioma

Justyna M. Przystal et al.

Summary: This study investigated treatment strategies that target tumor-associated macrophages in the microenvironment by blocking CSF1R, alone or in combination with PD1 blockade. The results suggest that targeting CSF1R is a promising therapeutic approach for glioblastoma, potentially in conjunction with PD1 inhibition, as shown by increased survival in mouse models and enhanced attack of the immune system in ex vivo microtumor models.

New insight towards development of paclitaxel and docetaxel resistance in cancer cells: EMT as a novel molecular mechanism and therapeutic possibilities

Milad Ashrafizadeh et al.

Summary: EMT mechanism is responsible for cancer cell metastasis and migration, as well as drug resistance. Taxene chemotherapeutic agents PTX and DTX induce cancer cell cycle arrest by preventing microtubule depolymerization, while upstream mediators of EMT such as ZEB1/2 and TGF-ll affect cancer cells' response to these drugs.

Dichotomous role of microtubule associated protein tau as a biomarker of response to and a target for increasing efficacy of taxane treatment in cancers of epithelial origin

Maria Barbolina

Summary: Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, with one in six deaths globally attributed to cancer. Chemotherapy is a major treatment modality for advanced cancers, but resistance to anti-cancer drugs can diminish its effectiveness. Studies suggest that tau protein levels may be associated with response to taxane treatment, but the correlation remains controversial.

Activation of the eIF2α/ATF4 axis drives triple-negative breast cancer radioresistance by promoting glutathione biosynthesis

Xupeng Bai et al.

Summary: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype, and radiotherapy is an effective treatment option. However, acquired radioresistance is a major challenge. The integrated stress response (ISR) pathway is found to be highly activated in radioresistant TNBC cells, with the eIF2 alpha /ATF4 axis proposed as a potential therapeutic target.
