Background: Pembrolizumab (PEM), an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), is often used for triple-negative breast cancer, but can also be used to treat solid tumors that exhibit high microsatellite instability (MSI-High). However, patients with breast cancer rarely have MSI-High, the use of PEM in such cases in clinical practice is uncertain due to lack of sufficient supporting data. Here, we report the case of a premenopausal woman in who received PEM for MSI-High luminal-type breast cancer.

Most women diagnosed with breast cancer (BC) have estrogen receptor alpha-positive (ER+) disease. The current mouse models of ER+ BC often rely on exogenous estrogen to encourage metastasis, which modifies the immune system and the function of some tissues like bone. Other studies use genetically modified or immunocompromised mouse strains, which do not accurately replicate the clinical disease.

Hormone-dependent cancers, such as certain types of breast cancer are characterized by over-expression of estrogen receptors (ERs). Anticancer drug conjugates combining ER ligands with other classes of anticancer agents may not only benefit from dual action at both anti-cancer targets but also from selective delivery of cytotoxic agents to ER-positive tumor cells resulting in less toxicity and adverse effects. Moreover, they could also take advantage of overcoming resistance typical for anti-hormonal monotherapy such as tamoxifen.

Estradiol regulates thyroid function, and chloride channels are involved in the regulation of thyroid function. However, little is known about the role of chloride channels in the regulation of thyroid functions by estrogen. In this study, the effects of estrogen on chloride channel activities in human thyroid Nthy-ori3-1 cells were therefore investigated using the whole cell patch-clamp technique.
