Is There a Special Role for Ovarian Hormones in the Pathogenesis of Lobular Carcinoma?

Cathrin Brisken, Georgios Sflomos

Lobular carcinoma represent the most common special histological subtype of breast cancer, with the majority classed as hormone receptor positive. Rates of invasive lobular carcinoma in postmenopausal women have been seen to increase globally, while other ...

TGF beta-mediated MMP13 secretion drives myoepithelial cell dependent breast cancer progression

Cathrin Brisken, Andrea Agnoletto

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-obligate precursor of invasive breast cancer. Virtually all women with DCIS are treated, despite evidence suggesting up to half would remain with stable, non-threatening, disease. Overtreatment thus presents a press ...

Optimized Modeling of Metastatic Triple-Negative Invasive Lobular Breast Carcinoma

Cathrin Brisken, Georgios Sflomos, Laura Battista

Simple Summary Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common histologic subtype of breast cancer and is often detected at an advanced stage. Up to 30% of ILC cases relapse and present a challenge for treatment. Unfortunately, there are few mod ...

Multiomic analysis of HER2-enriched and AR-positive breast carcinoma with apocrine differentiation and an oligometastatic course: a case report

Andrea Cavalli

Breast carcinoma is the most prevalent cancer among women globally. It has variable clinical courses depending on the stage and clinical-biological features. This case report describes a 56-year-old female with invasive breast cancer without estrogen or pr ...

Smartphone-Based Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid: An Innovative Tool to Improve Cervical Cancer Screening in Low-Resource Setting

Roser Vinals Terres

Visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) is recommended by theWorld Health Organization for primary cervical cancer screening or triage of human papillomavirus-positive women living in low-resource settings. Nonetheless, traditional VIA with the naked-eye ...

Intraductal xenografts show lobular carcinoma cells rely on their own extracellular matrix and LOXL1

Philipp Bucher, Cathrin Brisken, Giovanna Ambrosini, Georgios Sflomos, Valentina Scabia, Patrik Aouad, Laura Battista, Fabio De Martino, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan

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 ...

Intraductal xenografts model estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer dormancy and reveal a critical role for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in its establishment

Patrik Aouad

Compared to estrogen receptor-negative (ER-) breast cancer (BC), ER+ BC often manifests with a latent disease that recurs decades after initial diagnosis. The mechanisms governing dormancy and distant recurrence of ER+ tumors remain elusive due to the lack ...

CSL controls telomere maintenance and genome stability in human dermal fibroblasts

Joachim Lingner, Thomas Frédéric Lunardi, Paris Jafari

Genomic instability is a hallmark of cancer. Whether it also occurs in Cancer Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs) remains to be carefully investigated. Loss of CSL/RBP-J kappa, the effector of canonical NOTCH signaling with intrinsic transcription repressive fun ...

Characterization of a B16-F10 melanoma model locally implanted into the ear pinnae of C57BL/6 mice

Esra Güç

The common experimental use of B16-F10 melanoma cells focuses on exploring their metastatic potential following intravenous injection into mice. In this study, B16-F10 cells are used to develop a primary tumor model by implanting them directly into the ear ...

TIE-2-expressing monocytes are lymphangiogenic and associate specifically with lymphatics of human breast cancer

George Coukos, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Luc Henry, Hans-Anton Lehr

In experimental mouse models of cancer, increasingly compelling evidence point toward a contribution of tumor associated macrophages (TAM) to tumor lymphangiogenesis. Corresponding experimental observations in human cancer remain scarce although lymphatic ...

Identification and functional characterization of protein kinases that modulate Notch signaling under physiological conditions and in cancer

Chhavi Jain

The Notch signaling pathway is a key regulator of cell fate decisions in embryonic development and in adult tissue homeostasis. Mounting evidence suggests that Notch signaling is frequently deregulated in human neoplasms, where depending upon the cellular ...

Concentration-dependent and surface-assisted self-assembly properties of a bioactive estrogen receptor alpha-derived peptide

Giovanni Dietler, Francesco Simone Ruggeri

We have synthesized a 17-mer peptide (ER17p) that is issued from the hinge region of the estrogen receptor and which activates the proliferation of breast carcinoma cells in steroid-deprived conditions. In the present paper, we show that at a concentration ...

GLUT3 is induced during epithelial-mesenchymal transition and promotes tumor cell proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer

Bart Deplancke, Etienne Meylan, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Svenja Johanna Groeneveld, Jessica Christine Vazquez, Natasha Ella Samson, Mark Jonathan Masin

Alterations in glucose metabolism and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) constitute two important characteristics of carcinoma progression toward invasive cancer. Despite an extensive characterization of each of them separately, the links between EMT ...

Enhancing Radiotherapy by Lipid Nanocapsule-Mediated Delivery of Amphiphilic Gold Nanoparticles to Intracellular Membranes

Francesco Stellacci, Randy Patrick Carney

Amphiphilic gold nanoparticles (amph-NPs), composed of gold cores surrounded by an amphiphilic mixed organic ligand shell, are capable of embedding within and traversing lipid membranes. Here we describe a strategy using crosslink-stabilized lipid nanocaps ...

SPROUTY2 is a β-catenin and FOXO3a target gene indicative of poor prognosis in colon cancer

Jörg Hülsken, Anja Irmisch

SPROUTY2 (SPRY2) is an intracellular regulator of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling involved in cell growth, differentiation and tumorigenesis. Here, we show that SPRY2 is a target gene of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway that is abnormally activated in more ...

The Phosphate Specific Transport (Pst) System in Fast- and Slow-Growing Mycobacteria

Cyntia De Piano

Although mycobacteria are known to accumulate polyphosphate (PolyP), a linear polymer of orthophosphate, when subjected to stresses, the exact roles of this molecule are not yet clearly understood. We found that deletion of the pstA gene encoding for a tra ...
