The epidermal growth factor receptor/Erb-B/HER family in normal and malignant breast biology.
(UPV/EHU Press, 2011-01-01)
The EGFR/Erb-B receptor tyrosine kinases each play distinct and complementary roles in normal breast development. The four receptors form both homodimers and heterodimers in response to binding by ligands which show ...
Investigating the Contribution of Collagen to the Tumor Biomechanical Phenotype with Noninvasive Magnetic Resonance Elastography.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-11-15)
Increased stiffness in the extracellular matrix (ECM) contributes to tumor progression and metastasis. Therefore, stromal modulating therapies and accompanying biomarkers are being developed to target ECM stiffness. Magnetic ...
HER3-Mediated Resistance to Hsp90 Inhibition Detected in Breast Cancer Xenografts by Affibody-Based PET Imaging.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-04-15)
Purpose: Recent studies have highlighted a role of HER3 in HER2-driven cancers (e.g., breast cancer), implicating the upregulation of the receptor in resistance to HER-targeted therapies and Hsp90 inhibitors (e.g., AUY922). ...
AhR controls redox homeostasis and shapes the tumor microenvironment in BRCA1-associated breast cancer.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2019-02-26)
Cancer cells have higher reactive oxygen species (ROS) than normal cells, due to genetic and metabolic alterations. An emerging scenario is that cancer cells increase ROS to activate protumorigenic signaling while activating ...
Reactive oxygen species modulate macrophage immunosuppressive phenotype through the up-regulation of PD-L1.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2019-03-05)
The combination of immune checkpoint blockade with chemotherapy is currently under investigation as a promising strategy for the treatment of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are ...
Presence of human breast cancer xenograft changes the diurnal profile of amino acids in mice.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-01-19)
Human xenografts are extremely useful models to study the biology of human cancers and the effects of novel potential therapies. Deregulation of metabolism, including changes in amino acids (AAs), is a common characteristic ...
Identification of a minority population of LMO2+ breast cancer cells that integrate into the vasculature and initiate metastasis.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2022-11-11)
Metastasis is responsible for most breast cancer-related deaths; however, identifying the cellular determinants of metastasis has remained challenging. Here, we identified a minority population of immature THY1+/VEGFA+ ...
Impairment of a distinct cancer-associated fibroblast population limits tumour growth and metastasis.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-06-10)
Profiling studies have revealed considerable phenotypic heterogeneity in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) present within the tumour microenvironment, however, functional characterisation of different CAF subsets is ...
