Androgen Receptor Signaling in in vivo models of Estrogen Receptor-positive Breast Cancer and Normal Breast Epithelium
Steroid hormone receptors (HRs) are ligand-activated transcription factors that play a pivotal role in breast development and carcinogenesis. It is well established that estrogen receptor (ER) signaling is a major proliferative driver in estrogen receptor ...
EPFL2024Ru(II)-Arene Complexes of Curcumin and Bisdesmethoxycurcumin Metabolites
Paul Joseph Dyson, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Mouna Hadiji
Curcuminoids and their complexes continue to attract attention in medicinal chemistry, but little attention has been given to their metabolic derivatives. Here, the first examples of (arene)Ru(II) complexes with curcuminoid metabolites, tetrahydrocurcumin ...
Amer Chemical Soc2024Targeting the Progesterone Receptor in Breast Cancer: Mind the Short Form!
Cathrin Brisken, Carlos Henrique Venturi Ronchi
The presurgical window of opportunity trial (WOT) MIPRA provides evidence that neoadjuvant treatment with the prog-esterone receptor (PR) antagonist mifepristone (RU486) may benefit patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer characterized ...
AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH2023Estrogen receptor signaling in the human breast epithelium
Breast cancer is the most diagnosed malignancy in women worldwide, making effective prevention strategies crucial. Hormonal contraceptives, consisting of a synthetic progesterone receptor agonist alone or in combination with an estrogen, are used by millio ...
EPFL2022Binding affinity of p-PD-based schiff-bases towards human serum albumin; in-vitro and in-silico assessment
The Schiff-bases [N,N'-Bis(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-benzene-1,4-diamine (L-1), N,N'-Bis(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-benzene-1,4-diamine (L-2), N,N'-Bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzylidene)-benzene-1,4-diamine (L-3), and N,N'-Bis(2-hydroxynaphthylidene)-benzene- ...
ELSEVIER2022Intraductal xenografts show lobular carcinoma cells rely on their own extracellular matrix and LOXL1
Cathrin Brisken, Giovanna Ambrosini, Georgios Sflomos, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Laura Battista, Philipp Bucher, Maryse Fiche, Valentina Scabia, Patrik Aouad, Fabio De Martino
Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the most frequent special histological subtype of breast cancer, typically characterized by loss of E‐cadherin. It has clinical features distinct from other estrogen receptor‐positive (ER+) breast cancers but the molecul ...
202190 YEARS OF PROGESTERONE Progesterone receptor signaling in the normal breast and its implications for cancer
Cathrin Brisken, Valentina Scabia
Progesterone is considered as the pregnancy hormone and acts on many different target tissues. Progesterone receptor (PR) signaling is important for normal development and the physiologic function of the breast and impinges on breast carcinogenesis. Both s ...
BIOSCIENTIFICA LTD2020Tissue deformation algorithm to estimate breast tumor location from prone-to-supine position
Nearly 15-40% of patients who undergo Breast Conserving Surgery (BCS) require a repeat procedure to ensure complete removal of the tumor resulting in increased healthcare costs and possible negative psychological impact on the patient. To ensure complete t ...
2020Membrane expression of the estrogen receptor ER alpha is required for intercellular communications in the mammary epithelium
Cathrin Brisken, Stéphanie Cagnet
17 beta-Estradiol induces the postnatal development of mammary gland and influences breast carcinogenesis by binding to the estrogen receptor ER alpha. ER alpha acts as a transcription factor but also elicits rapid signaling through a fraction of ER alpha ...
COMPANY BIOLOGISTS LTD2020The secreted protease Adamts18 links hormone action to activation of the mammary stem cell niche
Cathrin Brisken, Giovanna Ambrosini, Marian Caikovski, Philipp Bucher, Renuga Devi Rajaram, Patrik Aouad, Dalya Ataca, Marie Shamseddin, Céline Berthe Constantin, Csaba Ferenc László
Estrogens and progesterone control breast development and carcinogenesis via their cognate receptors expressed in a subset of luminal cells in the mammary epithelium. How they control the extracellular matrix, important to breast physiology and tumorigenes ...
