For determination of how ADAMTS9-AS1/miR-301b-3p/TGFBR2/JAK STAT signaling axis modulates progression of breast cancer cells. Target lncRNA was determined by differential analysis of breast cancer expression data and survival analysis. Differentially expressed miRNAs and target mRNAs that had binding sites with target lncRNA were predicted. GSEA software was used to carry out pathway enrichment analysis for mRNAs. Binding of the researched genes were tested with RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP). How miR-301b-3p bound TGFBR2 mRNA was tested by dual-luciferase method. Transwell, colony formation, EdU approaches were employed for verification of invasion and proliferation of breast cancer cells in each treatment group. Markedly inactivated ADAMTS9-AS1 in breast cancer pertained to patient's prognosis. MiR-301b-3p was capable of binding TGFBR2/ADAMTS9-AS1. However, overexpression of ADAMTS9-AS1 stimulated miR-301b-3p binding ADAMTS9-AS1 and repressed miR-301b-3p binding TGFBR2 mRNA. ADAMTS9-AS1 interference enhanced cancer proliferation and invasion, facilitated levels of KI67, PCNA, MMP-9 and MMP-2, and activated the JAK STAT signaling pathway. While silencing miR-301b-3p reversed the effect of ADAMTS9-AS1 interference. In addition, TGFBR2 interference or restraining JAK STAT signaling counteracted the effect of ADAMTS9-AS1. ADAMTS9-AS1 could sequester miR-301b-3p to inhibit progression of breast cancer via TGFBR2/JAK STAT pathway. This study supplies a rationale for incremental apprehension of ADAMTS9-AS1 in breast cancer progression.

NEK2, a serine/threonine protein kinase, is integral to mitotic events such as centrosome duplication and separation, microtubule stabilization, spindle assembly checkpoint, and kinetochore attachment. However, NEK2 overexpression leads to centrosome amplification and chromosomal instability, which are significantly associated with various malignancies, including liver, breast, and non-small cell lung cancer. This overexpression could facilitate tumor development and confer resistance to therapy by promoting aberrant cell division and centrosome amplification.

MTHFD2 is highly overexpressed in breast cancer tissues, indicating that it might be used as a target in breast cancer treatment. This study aims to determine the role of MTHFD2 in breast cancer cell proliferation and the molecular pathways involved. In order to investigate MTHFD2 gene expression and its downstream pathways in breast cancer, we started our inquiry with a bioinformatics analysis.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive subtype of breast malignancy. Although some patients benefit from immune checkpoint therapy, current treatment methods rely mainly on chemotherapy. It is imperative to develop predictors of efficacy and identify individuals who will be sensitive to particular treatment regimens.

Background: CT thorax, abdomen and pelvis (CT-TAP) remains the standard in the identification of metastatic disease in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer. In patients with proven micro and macro axillary nodal metastasis, the optimal radiological technique remains controversial. A consensus on which patients with axillary nodal disease should receive radiological staging for distant disease and how this should be performed is not currently available.
