Article Abstract

Background: This study aimed to analyze the expression of thyroid hormone-responsive spot 14 (THRSP) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha (ACACA) proteins in breast cancer tumor tissues and their relationship with clinicopathology and prognosis of breast cancer patients. In addition, a nomogram model to predict the prognosis of breast cancer patients was constructed in this study.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 202 cases of breast cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from October 2019 to March 2021, and collection of patients' cancer tissues and non-Tumor tissue specimens. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect THRSP and ACACA protein expression. Multivariate COX regression was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the prognosis of breast cancer patients. The "rms" package in R software was used to build a survival nomogram model and evaluate the effectiveness of the model.

Results: The expression of THRSP and ACACA proteins in tumor tissues of breast cancer patients was higher than that in non-tumor tissues ( < 0.05). The expression of THRSP and ACACA proteins in breast cancer patients with lymph node metastasis was higher than that in patients without lymph node metastasis ( < 0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that TNM stage III, lymph node metastasis, high expression of Ki-67, high expression of THRSP, and high expression of ACACA were all risk factors for the prognosis of breast cancer patients ( < 0.05). The C-index of the nomogram model was 0.704 (95% CI: 0.596~0.892). The predicted 1-, 2- and 3-year survival AUCs of this nomogram model were 0.802, 0.769 and 0.770, respectively. The calibration curve showed that the model fit the ideal curve well. Decision curve analysis showed the high clinical utility of the model.

Conclusion: The nomogram model constructed based on THRSP and ACACA proteins may provide a reference value for the prognostic evaluation of breast cancer patients.

Introduction: Cutaneous scalp metastases from breast carcinoma (CMBC) represent an uncommon manifestation of metastatic disease, with heterogeneous clinical presentations, including nodular or infiltrative lesions and scarring alopecia (alopecia neoplastica). The absence of standardized diagnostic criteria, particularly for alopecic phenotypes, poses challenges to early recognition of CMBC, which may represent either the first indication of neoplastic progression or a late recurrence.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a multicenter cohort of 15 patients with histologically confirmed CMBC.

PRMT1-Mediated PARP1 Methylation Drives Lung Metastasis and Chemoresistance via P65 Activation in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype, characterized by a high propensity for metastasis, poor prognosis, and limited treatment options. Research has demonstrated a substantial correlation between the expression of protein arginine N-methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) and enhanced proliferation, metastasis, and poor outcomes in TNBC. However, the specific role of PRMT1 in lung metastasis and chemoresistance remains unclear.

Purpose: This study aimed to conduct functional proteomics across breast cancer subtypes with bioinformatics analyses.

Methods: Candidate proteins were identified using nanoscale liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (NanoLC-MS/MS) from core needle biopsy samples of early stage (0-III) breast cancers, followed by external validation with public domain gene-expression datasets (TCGA TARGET GTEx and TCGA BRCA).

Results: Seventeen proteins demonstrated significantly differential expression and protein-protein interaction (PPI) found the strong networks including COL2A1, COL11A1, COL6A1, COL6A2, THBS1 and LUM.

A strategy for targeting tumor-associated hypoxia utilizes reductase enzyme-mediated cleavage to convert biologically inert prodrugs to their corresponding biologically active parent therapeutic agents selectively in areas of pronounced hypoxia. Small-molecule inhibitors of tubulin polymerization represent unique therapeutic agents for this approach, with the most promising functioning as both antiproliferative agents (cytotoxins) and as vascular disrupting agents (VDAs). VDAs selectively and effectively disrupt tumor-associated microvessels, which are typically fragile and chaotic in nature.

Breast cancer continues to present a major clinical hurdle, largely attributable to its aggressive metastatic behavior and the suboptimal efficacy of standard chemotherapeutic regimens. Cisplatin (CDDP) is a representative platinum drug in the treatment of breast cancer, however, its therapeutic application is often constrained by systemic toxicity and the frequent onset of chemoresistance. Here, we introduce a novel charge-adaptive nanoprodrug system, referred to as PP@, engineered to respond to tumor-specific conditions.
