Breast cancer metastasis occurs via blood and lymphatic vessels. Breast cancer cells 'educate' lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) to support tumor vascularization and growth. However, despite known metabolic alterations in breast cancer, it remains unclear how lymphatic endothelial cell metabolis...
Environmental exposure to xenoestrogens, i.e., chemicals that imitate the hormone 17β-estradiol, has the potential to influence hormone homeostasis and action. Detailed knowledge of xenobiotic biotransformation processes in cell models is key when transferring knowledge learned from in vitro<...
Sample collection can significantly affect measurements of relative lipid concentrations in cell line panels, hiding intrinsic biological properties of interest between cell lines. Most quality control steps in lipidomic data analysis focus on controlling technical variation. Correcting for the t...
Activating PIK3CA mutations, present in up to 40% of hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (Her2-) breast cancer (BC) patients, can be effectively targeted with the alpha isoform-specific PI3K inhibitor Alpelisib. This treatment significantly improves ...
Bone metastasis is a lethal consequence of breast cancer. AT-rich interaction domain 1A gene (ARID1A), a subunit of the switch/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) complex, regulates immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. ARID1A deficient triple negative breast cancer promotes bone metastasis.To ...
Selective autophagy of mitochondria is known to promote survival and progression of cancer cells in various malignancies, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, we investigate the essential metabolic adaptations that support mitochondrial quality control in cancer cells with the ai...
