CRISPR/Cas9 screening identifies a kinetochore-microtubule dependent mechanism for Aurora-A inhibitor resistance in breast cancer

These findings provide a potential combinational drug target for promoting the therapeutic effects of MLN8237 and reveal a relationship between centromere-related functions and the sensitivity of Aurora-A inhibitor.

Dicer-independent snRNA/snoRNA-derived nuclear RNA 3 regulates tumor-associated macrophage function by epigenetically repressing inducible nitric oxide synthase transcription

  • Pages: 140-153
  • First Published: 17 January 2021

Nuclear small RNAs conducting gene-specific epigenetic regulation have not been clearly identified in adult mammals. Through establishing cytoplasmic and nuclear small RNomes in innate immune cells, we revealed that sdnRNA-3, one of the new class of nucleus-localized and dicer-independent small RNAs derived from snRNAs/snoRNAs, inhibited transcription of Nos2 gene (encode iNOS) by decreasing chromatin accessibility of gene promoter in macrophages, increasing the tumor promoting function of tumor-associated macrophages.

S100A8 promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis under TGF-β/USF2 axis in colorectal cancer

S100A8 promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis under TGF-β/USF2 axis in colorectal cancer

In colorectal cancer, S100A8 in tumor cells predicts poor prognosis but that in stroma cells indicates good prognosis. We first proved that TGF-β promotes metastasis through upregulated intracellular USF2/S100A8 axis, and USF2 maybe is the switcher on the opposite function of intracellular and extracellular S100A8.

Safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of BAT8001 in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer: An open-label, dose-escalation, phase I study

Safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of BAT8001 in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer: An open-label, dose-escalation, phase I study

BAT8001 demonstrated favorable safety and tolerability profiles, with promising anti-tumour activity in patients with HER2-positive advanced or recurrent solid tumours. BAT8001 has the potential to provide a new therapeutic option in heavily pretreated patients with metastatic Her2-positive breast cancer.
