The role and mechanism of inflammation in breast cancer is unclear. This study aims to probe the relationship between inflammation and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and to stablish an inflammation-related competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network in breast cancer. Inflammation-related lncRNAs and target genes were screened based on the data from four single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) studies and miRNAs were bioinformatically predicted according to ceRNA hypothesis. A series of analyses were performed to construct an inflammation-related ceRNA network in breast cancer. Consequently, a total of seven inflammation-related lncRNAs were selected, after which LRRC75A-AS1 was identified as the most potential lncRNA in view of its expression and prognostic predictive value in breast cancer. Finally, an inflammation-related ceRNA network in breast cancer at the single cell level was established based on lncRNA LRRC75A-AS1, miR-3127-5p, miR-2114-3p, RPL36 and RPL27A mRNAs. Collectively, the lncRNA LRRC75A-AS1 and the LRRC75A-AS1-based on ceRNA network may exert crucial roles in modulating inflammation response during the initiation and progression of breast cancer.

The estrogen receptor (ER or ERα) remains the primary therapeutic target for luminal breast cancer, with current treatments centered on competitive antagonists, receptor down-regulators, and aromatase inhibitors. Despite these options, resistance frequently emerges, highlighting the need for alternative targeting strategies. We discovered a novel mechanism of ER inhibition that targets the previously unexplored interface between the DNA-binding domain (DBD) and ligand-binding domain (LBD) of the receptor.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a multifunctional signaling molecule in oncology, influencing tumor progression, apoptosis, and immune responses. In contrast, chlorambucil (Cbl), a DNA-alkylating chemotherapeutic, induces cytotoxicity through DNA damage. Here, we report a photoresponsive nanoparticle platform for sequential codelivery of NO and Cbl, where NO is released within 10 min of irradiation, followed by Cbl release within 30 min.

Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is a rare neurological disorder caused by tumor-mediated antibodies targeting the cerebellum, often leading to irreversible cerebellar damage. The most common antibody implicated in PCD is anti-Purkinje cell cytoplasmic antibody type-1, associated with malignancies such as breast, gynecological, and lung cancers. Symptoms often include dizziness, imbalance, progressive ataxia, and other cerebellar signs/symptoms, but early presentations may mimic acute vestibular syndrome, thus complicating diagnosis.

Endothelial Colony-Forming Cells (ECFCs) are recognized as key vasculogenic progenitors in humans and serve as valuable liquid biopsies for diagnosing and studying vascular disorders. In a groundbreaking study, Anceschi et al. present a novel, integrative strategy that combines ECFCs loaded with gold nanorods (AuNRs) to enhance tumor radiosensitization through localized hyperthermia.
