The orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 has been validated as a potential drug target for treating breast cancer. Therefore, focusing on the SAR study of the lead ( = 354 nM), we found the active compound which exhibited improved Nur77-binding capability ( = 91 nM) and excellent antiproliferative activities against breast cancer cell lines. Interestingly, acted as a potent and selective Nur77 antagonist, displaying good potency against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines but did not inhibit human normal breast cancer cell line MCF-10A (SI > 20). Exceptionally, Nur77-dependently caused mitochondria dysfunction and induced the caspase-dependent apoptosis by mediating the TP53 phosphorylation pathway. Moreover, significantly suppressed MDA-MB-231 xenograft tumor growth but had no apparent side effects in mice and zebrafish. Overall, demonstrated to be the first Nur77 modulator mediating the TP53 phosphorylation pathway that has the potential as a novel anticancer agent for TNBC.

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.

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.
