A bi-steric mTORC1-selective inhibitor overcomes drug resistance in breast cancer

Delong Meng et al.

Summary: The study found that complete suppression of mTORC1 using a bi-steric molecule called RMC-6272 induces apoptosis in ER+/HER2- breast cancer cell lines. This molecule is particularly effective in cells with mutations in PIK3CA or PTEN, inhibiting proteins such as 4EBP1 and MCL1 that are associated with mTORC1, leading to cell death. Additionally, RMC-6272 reduces transcription levels of oncogenes, suggesting a greater impact on oncogenic pathways compared to the partial mTORC1 inhibitor everolimus. Selective dual inhibition of mTORC1 may be effective in overcoming therapy resistance in ER+ breast cancers.

JAK-STAT Signaling in Inflammatory Breast Cancer Enables Chemotherapy-Resistant Cell States

Laura E. Stevens et al.

Summary: Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a difficult-to-treat disease with poor clinical outcomes due to high risk of metastasis and resistance to treatment. CD44(+)CD24(-) cells, which possess stem cell-like features, are the most frequent cell type in IBC and are commonly activated by the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. Combination therapy with JAK2/STAT3 inhibition and paclitaxel has shown promising results in decreasing IBC xenograft growth. Furthermore, single-cell analyses have revealed the mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance and the potential of targeting the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway in IBC.

Progression after First-Line Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4/6 Inhibitor Treatment: Analysis of Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Data

Federica Villa et al.

Summary: This article reviews the cellular mechanisms, treatment strategies, and clinical data of subsequent treatments after resistance to CDK4/6is-based therapy. It discusses the cell-cycle-specific and cell-cycle-non-specific resistance, focusing on early and late progression. It also analyzes potential therapeutic approaches and available clinical data.

Identification of hub genes associated with EMT-induced chemoresistance in breast cancer using integrated bioinformatics analysis

Bhavjot Kaur et al.

Summary: This study identified hub genes associated with EMT and chemoresistance in breast cancer, impacting patient survival. The research found that commonly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were involved in chemoresistance and EMT, and that EMT-induced breast cancer cells exhibited drug efflux transporter overexpression and resistance to chemotherapy. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed enrichment in immunological pathways, early endosome, protein dimerization, and proteoglycans in cancer, and identified eight hub genes from the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network.

Harmine is an effective therapeutic small molecule for the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy

Jie Huang et al.

Summary: Harmine exhibits protective effects on cardiac hypertrophy, reducing cell enlargement, restoring calcium handling and contractility, and downregulating hypertrophy-related genes. It also inhibits NF-kappa B phosphorylation and inflammatory cytokines, suggesting it as a promising therapeutic agent for cardiac hypertrophy independent of blood pressure modulation.

Cellular mechanisms underlying response and resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer

April C. Watt et al.

Summary: Pharmacological inhibitors of CDK4/6 are standard therapies for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, primarily by suppressing tumor cell proliferation. Recent data suggests that these inhibitors also have other effects in tumor and stromal compartments, which may explain their clinical activity.

Resistance to cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors confers cross-resistance to other CDK inhibitors but not to chemotherapeutic agents in breast cancer cells

Ryohei Ogata et al.

Summary: Acquired resistance to PAL or ABE in breast cancer cells confers cross-resistance to the other CDK4/6 inhibitor but not to chemotherapeutic agents. Down-regulation of basal RB expression and normalized RB phosphorylation reduced by CDK4/6 inhibitors may be responsible for the attenuated anti-cell growth effects of the inhibitors.

Twist1 is required for the development of UVB-induced squamous cell carcinoma

Fernando Eguiarte-Solomon et al.

Summary: The transcription factor Twist1 plays a critical role in regulating the balance between proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes, impacting the development of UVB-induced skin cancer. Deletion of Twist1 in keratinocytes leads to reduced epidermal hyperproliferation and suppresses skin carcinogenesis caused by UVB radiation, indicating Twist1 as a potential target for preventing cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

Harmine inhibits breast cancer cell migration and invasion by inducing the degradation of Twist1

Ebtesam Nafie et al.

Summary: The study found that Harmine can inhibit migration and invasion of human and mouse breast cancer cells, possibly by inducing Twist1 degradation. This inhibition is largely independent of its cytotoxicity, but due to its ability to affect EMT regulator Twist1.
