Background/aim: In breast cancer, initiation of carcinogenesis leads to epigenetic dysregulation, which can lead for example to the loss of the heterochromatin skeleton SUV39H1/H3K9me3/HP1 or the supposed secondary skeleton TIP60/P400/H4K12ac/BRD (2/4), which allows the maintenance of chromatin integrity and plasticity. This study investigated the relationship between TIP60, P400 and H4K12ac and their implications in breast tumors.
Materials And Methods: Seventy-seven patients diagnosed with breast cancer were included in this study. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay was used to identify chromatin modifications. Western blot and reverse transcription and quantitative real-time PCR were used to determine protein and gene expression, respectively.
Results: We verified the variation in H4K12ac enrichment and the co-localization of H4K12ac and TIP60 on the euchromatin and heterochromatin genes, respectively, by ChIP-qPCR and ChIP-reChIP, which showed an enrichment of H4K12ac on specific genes in tumors compared to the adjacent healthy tissue and a co-localization of H4K12ac with TIP60 in different breast tumor types. Furthermore, RNA and protein expression of TIP60 and P400 was investigated and overexpression of TIP60 and P400 mRNA was associated with tumor aggressiveness.
Conclusion: There is a potential interaction between H4K12ac and TIP60 in heterochromatin or euchromatin in breast tumors.

De-Escalation of Nodal Surgery in Clinically Node-Positive Breast Cancer.
JAMA Surg
January 2025
Breast Unit, Department of General Surgery, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Türkiye.
Importance: Increasing evidence supports the oncologic safety of de-escalating axillary surgery for patients with breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
Objective: To evaluate the oncologic outcomes of de-escalating axillary surgery among patients with clinically node (cN)-positive breast cancer and patients whose disease became cN negative after NAC (ycN negative).
Design, Setting, And Participants: In the NEOSENTITURK MF-1803 prospective cohort registry trial, patients from 37 centers with cT1-4N1-3M0 disease treated with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or targeted axillary dissection (TAD) alone or with ypN-negative or ypN-positive disease after NAC were recruited between February 15, 2019, and January 1, 2023, and evaluated.

Cardiovascular Disease and Breast Cancer Stage at Diagnosis.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Epidemiology, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston.
Importance: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer are the leading causes of mortality in the US. Large-scale population-based and mechanistic studies support a direct effect of CVD on accelerated tumor growth and spread, specifically in breast cancer.
Objective: To assess whether individuals presenting with advanced breast cancers are more likely to have prevalent CVD compared with those with early-stage breast cancers at the time of diagnosis.
