Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive subtype of breast cancer that is prone to recurrence and metastasis. Because of the lack of expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in TNBC, treatment methods are greatly limited. In this study, the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis-inducing effects of PARP1 inhibitors in TNBC breast cancer cells and in vivo xenograft animal models were examined to investigate the molecular role of APE1 in PARP1-targeted therapy. In TNBC patients, the expression of APE1 and PARP1 were positively correlated, and high expression of APE1 and PARP1 was associated with poor survival of TNBC. Our results indicated that knockdown APE1 could increase the sensitivity of olaparib in the treatment of TNBC. In conclusion, the results of this study will not only clarify the molecular role of APE1 in PARP1-targeted therapy for TNBC but also provide a theoretical basis for the future clinical application of targeting APE1 and PARP1 in the treatment of refractory TNBC.

Chemotherapeutic resistance is a significant issue in the treatment of breast cancer, which is related to pyroptosis inhibition. Increasing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) contribute to tumorigenesis and drug resistance. In this study we investigated the role of the lncRNA STMN1P2 in doxorubicin resistance in breast cancer, as well as its correlation with pyroptosis inhibition.

Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) expands treatment options for solid tumor patients and identifies hereditary cancers. However, in Japan, confirmatory tests have been conducted in only 31.6% of patients with presumed germline pathogenic variants (GPVs) detected through tumor-only testing.

Purpose: Recent advancements in medical technologies have made trans-arterial treatment of breast cancer feasible. Consequently, understanding the vascular anatomies of breast cancers and axillary lymph node metastases has become indispensable for sophisticated treatments. The aim of this study was to determine the vascular anatomy of the breast, which is crucial for trans-arterial chemoembolization in patients with breast cancer.
