AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity, in tight association with stemness, contributes to the mammary gland homeostasis, evolution of early neoplastic lesions and cancer dissemination. Focused on cell surfaceome, we used mouse models of pre-neoplastic mammary epithelial and cancer stem cells to reveal the connection between cell surface markers and distinct cell phenotypes. We mechanistically dissected the TGF-β family-driven regulation of Sca-1, one of the most commonly used adult stem cell markers. We further provided evidence that TGF-β disrupts the lineage commitment and promotes the accumulation of tumor-initiating cells in pre-neoplastic cells.

Preoperative evaluation of red blood cell distribution width as a promising biomarker for discriminating between benign and malignant breast tumors and assessing breast cancer activity.
Indian J Pathol Microbiol
April 2024
Department of Pathology, Bharat Ratna Late Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Memorial Government Medical College, Chattisgarh, India.
Background: The red cell distribution width (RDW) has been recognized as a new prognostic factor in various pathophysiological states including breast cancers. The aim of this study was to compare the RDW values between patients diagnosed with benign and malignant breast tumors and to evaluate the potential of elevated RDW as a biomarker for breast cancer activity.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study compared RDW values in age-matched cohorts diagnosed with benign and malignant breast lesions and correlated them with prognostic factors for malignant breast tumors.

Chromosome instability (CIN) contributes to resistance to therapies and tumor evolution. Although natural killer (NK) cells can eliminate cells with complex karyotypes, high-CIN human tumors have an immunosuppressive phenotype. To understand which CIN-associated molecular features alter immune recognition during tumor evolution, we overexpress Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) in a Her2 breast cancer model.

Background And Purpose: MicroRNA-9 (miR-9) has previously been described as a dual-functional RNA during breast cancer progression and its roles need to be clarified thoroughly.
Experimental Approach: A miR-9 knockout mode of mouse breast cancer, the MMTV-PyMT model (PyMT-miR-9 ), combined with different human breast cancer cell lines were used to evaluate the effects of miR-9 on breast cancer initiation, progression and metastasis. Lin-NECs (Neoplastic mammary epithelial cells) and pNECs (Pre-neoplastic mammary epithelial cells) were isolated and subjected to tumour-initiation assay.
T-type Ca2+ channels and their relationship with pre-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions in the human breast.

The expression of T-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (Cav3) has been previously observed in breast cancer, but their expression and subcellular localization were not evaluated in pre-neoplastic lesions. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate protein expression and subcellular localization of T-type channel isoforms in human breast tissue samples. Protein expressions of CaV3.

microRNAs (miRNAs) serve as novel noninvasive cancer biomarkers. In an HMT-3522 S1 (S1) breast epithelial risk-progression three-dimensional (3D) culture model, non-neoplastic S1 cells form a fully polarized epithelium. When silenced for the gap junction and tumor suppressor Cx43, Cx43-KO-S1 cells recapitulate pre-neoplastic phenotypes observed in tissues at risk for breast cancer in vivo.
