The objective of our study was to determine the association between expression of c-Myc and the loss of p27 by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in the four major subtypes of breast cancer (BC) (Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2, and Triple Negative) and with other clinicopathological factors in a population of 202 African-American (AA) women.
Zinc finger protein 703 (ZNF703), identified as an oncogene in luminal B breast cancer, is a member of the NET/NlZ family of zinc finger transcription factors.
Furthermore, some pivotal fusion genes like ESR1-C6orf97 with COBRA1-C9orf167 and VAPB-IKZF3 with ACACA-STAC2 were found in Luminal A and Luminal B breast cancer, respectively.
Thymidylate synthase (TYMS) 5'-UTR 28 bp tandem repeat (OR: 2.09, 95% CI: 1.05-4.16) and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T (OR: 4.10, 95% CI: 1.40-11.95) were strongly associated with Luminal B.
Staining of p53 and PARP1 in breast cancer TMAs and comparison with the TCGA database indicated a higher double-positive signal in basal-like breast cancer than in Luminal A or Luminal B subtypes.
Previously established associations between MAP3K1 and PIK3CA mutations with luminal A status/favorable prognosis and TP53 mutations with Luminal B/non-luminal tumors/poor prognosis were observed, validating the methodological approach.
TP53 mutations were associated with increased mortality in patients with luminal B, HER2-enriched, and normal-like tumors, but not in patients with luminal A and basal-like tumors.
Furthermore, some pivotal fusion genes like ESR1-C6orf97 with COBRA1-C9orf167 and VAPB-IKZF3 with ACACA-STAC2 were found in Luminal A and Luminal B breast cancer, respectively.
Secondly, TOP2A expression was found significantly associated with cell proliferation, and with the highly proliferative Luminal B, Her2-enriched and Basal-like intrinsic subtypes.

PET imaging with 2-deoxy-2-[<sup>18</sup>F]fluoro-D-glucose ([<sup>18</sup>F]FDG) was performed to monitor the metabolic changes in BT474 (luminal B) and MDA-MB-231 (triple-negative) breast cancer xenografts.
Acetylation of MnSOD and other mitochondrial proteins, due to loss of SIRT3, may explain the connection between ROS and development of luminal B breast cancer and how luminal B breast cancer becomes resistant to endocrine therapy.Antioxid.Redox Signal.25, 326-336.
Finally we demonstrated a strong positive correlation between Rictor and PgR expression and a negative correlation with Raptor expression in Luminal B breast cancer samples, a breast cancer histological subtype known for having an altered ERα-signaling pathway.
