Breast Cancer: CXCR4 plays an important role
in breast cancer progression by enhancing tumor growth, tumor cell invasion, and metastasis to bone and lung.
Nagahashi M, Ramachandran S, Kim EY, Allegood JC, Rashid OM, Yamada, A, Zhao R, Milstien S, Zhou H, Spiegel S, and Takabe K. Sphingosine -1-phosphate Produced by Sphingosine Kinase 1 Promotes
Breast Cancer Progression by Stimulating Angiogenesis and Lymphangiogenesis.
To evaluate whether altered expression of the ABL genes is associated
with breast cancer progression and metastasis, we examined the expression of ABL1 and ABL2 in normal and invasive breast tumor specimens using published TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) data sets (14 — 16).
University of Miami School of Medicine Resistance to tamoxifen: a consequence of altered p27Kip1 regulation during breast cancer progression
The study, «AKR1B1 promotes basal -
like breast cancer progression by a positive feedback loop that activates the EMT program,» which has been published in The Journal of Experimental Medicine, suggests that an inhibitor of this enzyme currently used to treat diabetes patients could be an effective therapy for this frequently deadly form of cancer.
Escobar G, Moi D, Ranghetti A, Ozkal - Baydin P, Squadrito ML, Kajaste - Rudnitski A, Bondanza A, Gentner B, De Palma M, Mazzieri R, Naldini L. Genetic engineering of hematopoiesis for targeted IFN - α delivery
inhibits breast cancer progression.
The team determined that because of the frequency of lesions, their association with spontaneous mammary cancer and the resemblance to human lesions, dogs may be the ideal model to study human
breast cancer progression as well as prevention and treatment.
In truth, says Lacroix, unlike the melanoma it really was, «this particular metatastic behavior is rarely seen
in breast cancer progression.»
These data confirm that LARP7 protein levels are also reduced
during breast cancer progression, and thus suggest that LARP7 may play a potential tumor suppressor role in breast cancer.
Therefore, we have explored the role of the alpha2 beta1 integrin in cancer initiation and progression using a clinically - relevant, spontaneous mouse model, the MMTV - Neu model
of breast cancer progression and metastasis.
As a next step, the researchers plan to further study the relationship between hot flashes and
breast cancer progression by measuring the tamoxifen metabolites in breast cancer survivors.
«It has taken us years to assemble the clinical outcome database and tissue samples, generate the immunohistochemical biomarkers, gene expression profiles and analyse the data for this study — and we were delighted to find a definite link between alpha beta crystallin and
breast cancer progression, which we hope will ultimately improve clinical outcomes.
Epithelial - mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cells: a dangerously dynamic duo in
breast cancer progression.
We are currently exploring this possibility and hope to elucidate the mechanism and relevance of the cycling hypoxia - selected cell population in
breast cancer progression.
We have established a technique to generate syngeneic murine metastatic breast cancer model that mimic human
breast cancer progression (Rashid OM et al, Breast Cancer Research and Treatment 2014).
The major two focuses of his Ph.D. study were to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms of prostate cancer metastasis and to study the effects of pomegranate derived natural products on prostate and
breast cancer progression.
His laboratory has pioneered work on S100A7 and its role in
breast cancer progression.
«Our findings provide compelling observational evidence for inverse associations between vitamin D levels and risk of
breast cancer progression and death,» Song Yao and colleagues concluded.
