A novel culture method that sustains ER alpha signaling in human breast cancer tissue microstructures

Background Estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha) signaling is a defining and driving event in most breast cancers; ER alpha is detected in malignant epithelial cells of 75% of all breast cancers (classified as ER-positive breast cancer) and, in these cases, E ...

The Tumor Microenvironment as a Driving Force of Breast Cancer Stem Cell Plasticity

Albert Santamaria Martinez

Simple Summary Breast cancer stem cells are a subset of transformed cells that sustain tumor growth and can metastasize to secondary organs. Since metastasis accounts for most cancer deaths, it is of paramount importance to understand the cellular and mole ...

Synthesis of chemical tools to improve water solubility and promote the delivery of salinomycin to cancer cells

Loay Awad

Chemotherapy and radiation are unable to eliminate all cancer cells, particularly apoptosis-resistant cancer cells, despite their ability to kill cancer cluster cells. Thus, it is important to identify methods that eliminate all cancer cells in order to pr ...

Microfluidic-based immunohistochemistry for breast cancer diagnosis: a comparative clinical study

Martinus Gijs, Diego Gabriel Dupouy, Saska Brajkovic, Fabio Aimi

Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease. The efficacy of tailored therapeutic strategies relies on the precise detection of diagnostic biomarkers by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Therefore, considering the increasing incidence of breast cancer cases, ...

High-content, cell-by-cell assessment of HER2 overexpression and amplification: a tool for intratumoral heterogeneity detection in breast cancer

Martinus Gijs, Daniel Migliozzi, Huu Tuan Nguyen

Immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization are the two standard methods for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) assessment. However, they have severe limitations to assess quantitatively intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) when mu ...

Chemotherapy elicits pro-metastatic extracellular vesicles in breast cancer models

Michele De Palma, Alan Nicolas Thierry Guichard, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Chiara Cianciaruso, Esra Güç, Ioanna Keklikoglou, Antonino Cassarà

Cytotoxic chemotherapy is an effective treatment for invasive breast cancer. However, experimental studies in mice also suggest that chemotherapy has pro-metastatic effects. Primary tumours release extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, that can ...

ALK7 Signaling Manifests a Homeostatic Tissue Barrier That Is Abrogated during Tumorigenesis and Metastasis

Douglas Hanahan, Nadine Fournier, Mélanie Louise Tichet, Mohammad Sadegh Saghafinia, Iacovos Michael

Herein, we report that the TGF beta superfamily receptor ALK7 is a suppressor of tumorigenesis and metastasis, as revealed by functional studies in mouse models of pancreatic neuroendocrine and lumina! breast cancer, complemented by experimental metastasis ...

Type I interferon/IRF7 axis instigates chemotherapy-induced immunological dormancy in breast cancer

Mauro Delorenzi, Yu-Ting Huang

Neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapies provide survival benefits to breast cancer patients, in particular in estrogen receptor negative (ER-) cancers, by reducing rates of recurrences. It is assumed that the benefits of (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy are due ...

Thiol-to-amine cyclization reaction enables screening of large libraries of macrocyclic compounds and the generation of sub-kilodalton ligands

Gerardo Turcatti, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, Xudong Kong, Van Manh Pham, Patrick Andreas Gonschorek, Sangram Shivdas Kale, Milan Bergeron-Brlek, João Miguel Franco Machado

Macrocyclic compounds are an attractive modality for drug development, but the limited availability of large, structurally diverse macrocyclic libraries hampers the discovery of leads. Here, we describe the discovery of efficient macrocyclization reactions ...

Gold and silver bio/nano-hybrids-based electrochemical immunosensor for ultrasensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen

Sandro Carrara, Sattar Akbari Nakhjavani, Hadi Afsharan

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is an important oncomarker for the detection of breast cancer. For ultra-sensitive sensing of CEA with great specificity and accuracy, an innovative and reliable electrochemical immunosensor was developed using various nano-h ...
