LABORATORY RESEARCH

Oncogenic PI3K and K-Ras Stimulate De Novo Lipid Synthesis through mTORC1 and SREBP
Oncogenic stimulation of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling in an isogenic setting or a panel of eight breast cancer cell lines led to activation of the sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) that are required for oncogene-induced lipid synthesis. The SREBPs are also required for the growth factor-independent growth and proliferation of oncogene-expressing cells. [Oncogene] Abstract 

Induction of miRNA-181a by Genotoxic Treatments Promotes Chemotherapeutic Resistance and Metastasis in Breast Cancer
The authors showed that genotoxic treatments significantly increased the expression of miR-181a in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, which enhanced TNBC cell survival and metastasis upon doxorubicin treatment. [Oncogene] Abstract

MERIT40 Is an Akt Substrate that Promotes Resolution of DNA Damage Induced by Chemotherapy
Scientists identified a mechanism by which the PI3K/Akt pathway mediates resistance to doxorubicin. In addition to inducing DNA damage, doxorubicin triggers sustained activation of Akt signaling in breast cancer cells. [Cell Rep] Full Article | Graphical Abstract

Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor Entinostat Inhibits Tumor-Initiating Cells in Triple Negative Breast Cancer Cells
Investigators showed that entinostat (ENT) treatment can reduce the percentage of tumor-initiating cells (TICs) from triple negative breast cancer cells. ENT treatment was able to reduce the CD44high/CD24low cell population, ALDH-1 activity as well as protein and mRNA expression of known TIC markers such as Bmi-1, Nanog and Oct-4. [Mol Cancer Ther] Abstract 

CD24+ Cells Fuel Rapid Tumor Growth and Display High Metastatic Capacity
Researchers demonstrated that CD24+ cells create intra-tumor heterogeneity, and display highly metastatic properties. The cells formed mammospheres in high efficiency and CD24+ tumors displayed rapid growth in both WT and MKR mice, and were more metastatic than CD24− cells. [Breast Cancer Res] Abstract | Full Article

Ubiquitin Specific Protease 2 Acts as a Key Modulator for the Regulation of Cell Cycle by Adiponectin and Leptin in Cancer Cells
Scientists investigated the effects of adiponectin and leptin on ubiquitin specific protease-2 (USP-2) expression and its potential role in the modulation of cell cycle. Treatment with globular adiponectin decreased, whereas leptin increased USP-2 expression both in human hepatoma and breast cancer cells. [Mol Cell Endocrinol]Abstract

Down-Regulation of Programmed Cell Death 4 (PDCD4) Is Associated with Aromatase Inhibitor Resistance and a Poor Prognosis in Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer
Researchers determined PDCD4 expression levels in aromatase inhibitor (AI)-resistant breast cancer cell lines and estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer tumors and investigated the regulation of PDCD4 in AI-resistant breast cancer cell lines. [Breast Cancer Res Treat] Abstract

p53 Modulates Notch Signaling in MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells by Associating with the Notch Transcriptional Complex via MAML1
The authors studied the regulation of Notch signaling by p53 in MCF-7 cells and normal human mammary epithelial cells. [J Cell Physiol] Abstract

AP4 Activates Cell Migration and EMT Mediated by p53 in MDA-MB-231 Breast Carcinoma Cells
It has been found that activating enhancer-binding protein (AP4) upregulates the genes involved in EMT and cell proliferation in colorectal cancer cells and that the aggressive human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 are highly metastatic. Therefore, investigators tested the hypothesis that AP4 may also affect cell migration and EMT in this cell type. [Mol Cell Biochem] Abstract

CLINICAL RESEARCH

Palbociclib in Hormone-Receptor-Positive Advanced Breast Cancer
This Phase III study involved 521 patients with advanced hormone-receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative breast cancer that had relapsed or progressed during prior endocrine therapy. Investigators randomly assigned patients in a 2:1 ratio to receive palbociclib and fulvestrant or placebo and fulvestrant. [N Engl J Med] Full Article | Press Release

Adjuvant Denosumab in Breast Cancer (ABCSG-18): A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial
In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase III trial, postmenopausal patients with early hormone receptor-positive breast cancer receiving treatment with aromatase inhibitors were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either denosumab 60 mg or placebo administered subcutaneously every six months in 58 trial centres in Austria and Sweden.
