FANCI Inhibition Induces PARP1 Redistribution to Enhance the Efficacy of PARP Inhibitors in Breast Cancer.

Breast cancer is a global public health concern with high mortality rates, necessitating the development of innovative treatment strategies. PARP inhibitors have shown efficacy in certain patient populations, but their application is largely limited to cancers with homologous recombination deficiency. Here, we identified the suppression of FANCI as a therapeutic strategy to enhance the efficacy of PARP inhibitors in breast cancer.

Additional new species of the genus Hexarhopalus Fairmaire, 1891 (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae: Cnodalonini) from China.

Three new species of the genus Hexarhopalus Fairmaire, 1891, all of the nominate subgenus, are described and figured from China: Hexarhopalus (Hexarhopalus) ferreri sp. nov. from Yunnan, H.

Kinesin family member 23, regulated by FOXM1, promotes triple negative breast cancer progression via activating Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Background: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is highly malignant and has a worse prognosis, compared with other subtypes of breast cancer due to the absence of therapeutic targets. KIF23 plays a crucial role in the tumorigenesis and cancer progression. However, the role of KIF23 in development of TNBC and the underlying mechanism remain unknown.

RBMS2 Chemosensitizes Breast Cancer Cells to Doxorubicin by Regulating BMF Expression.

Chemoresistance is closely related to the therapeutic effect and prognosis in breast cancer patients. Increasing evidences demonstrated that RNA binding proteins (RBPs) have notable roles in regulating cancer cell proliferation, metastasis and chemotherapeutic sensitivity. RNA binding motif single stranded interacting protein 2 (RBMS2), an RBP, has been considered to be a tumor suppressor in several cancers.

CircMETTL3, upregulated in a m6A-dependent manner, promotes breast cancer progression.

Growing evidence indicates N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has biological function in oncogenesis. METTL3, the catalytic component, is the most important part of methyltransferase complex and plays a crucial role in cancers. However, the biological function of circRNAs derived from in breast cancer and the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear.

Metformin exhibits antiproliferation activity in breast cancer via miR-483-3p/METTL3/mA/p21 pathway.

Evidence suggests that metformin might be a potential candidate for breast cancer treatment. Yet, its relevant molecular mechanisms remain to be fully investigated. We found that metformin could suppress the N6-methyladenosine (mA) level in breast cancer cells significantly.

Cell division cycle proteinising prognostic biomarker of breast cancer.

Cell division cycle protein (CDC20) has been observed to be expressed higher in various kinds of human cancers and was associated with poor prognosis. However, studies on role of CDC20 in breast cancer are seldom reported till now, most of which are not systematic and conclusive. The present study was performed to analyze the expression pattern, potential function, and distinct prognostic effect of CDC20 in breast cancer using several online databases including Oncomine, bc-GenExMiner, PrognoScan, and UCSC Xena.

TCDD-Inducible Poly-ADP-Ribose Polymerase (TIPARP), A Novel Therapeutic Target Of Breast Cancer.

Background: TIPARP (TCDD-inducible poly-ADP-ribose polymerase), a mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase and a transcriptional repressor of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), was one of the potential therapeutic targets for human cancers identified by CRISPR-Cas9 screens recently. Studies about TIPARP on cancers are scarce till now, most of which just focus on expressions, while the functions have not been widely reported yet. Moreover, the TIPARP prognostic significance and therapeutic value of breast cancer is also uncertain.
