Within the triple-negative breast cancer subset, cell lines with a p53 mutation and increased p53 expression were more sensitive to the cytotoxic and proapoptotic effects of ENMD-2076 exposure than cell lines with decreased p53 expression.
Within TNBC, TP53 mutation frequency (75.6%, 31/41) did not differ comparing basal (74.3%, 26/35) and LAR (83.3%, 5/6); however, TP53 stop-gain mutations were more common in basal (22.9%, 8/35) vs LAR (0.0%, 0/6), which was confirmed in The Cancer Genome Atlas and British Columbia data sets.
We showed that the expression level of GTSE1 was upregulated in breast cancer specimens and cell lines, especially in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and p53 mutated breast cancer cell lines.
We recently identified a subgroup of TNBC with loss of the tumor suppressor PTEN and five specific microRNAs that exhibits exceedingly poor clinical outcome and contains TP53 mutation, RB1 loss and high MYC and WNT signalling.
We performed p53 immunohistochemistry (IHC), nCounter mRNA expression assay, and DNA sequencing to determine the relationship between <i>TP53</i> alteration and clinical outcomes of TNBC patients.
We also found a significant decrease of caspase-3 and p53 expression after 48 h, accompanied by a down-regulation of NF-κB in cells exposed to MWCNT-COOH-CDDP system which promotes apoptosis escape and thus failing to overcome the triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells resistance.
Tumor specimens from patients with TNBC were engrafted into humanized mammary fat pads of immunodeficient mice to create 3 independent human-in-mouse TNBC lines: 1 WT (WU-BC3) and 2 mutant for TP53 (WU-BC4 and WU-BC5).
To investigate how p53 deficiency contributes to late-stage tumor growth and metastasis, we developed paired isogenic patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) differing only in p53 status for longitudinal analysis.
These results demonstrate the potential of the pH-responsive nanoparticle and the precise POLR2A targeted therapy in TNBC harbouring the common TP53 genomic alteration.
There were significantly lower IC<sub>50</sub> values for TNBC than for non-TNBC cell lines (p = 0.03) and for p53-mutated cell lines compared with p53 WT cells (p = 0.003).
The objective of this study was to examine the prognostic significance of carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), an endogenous marker for tumor hypoxia; the cellular tumor antigen p53; and the apoptosis regulator Bcl-2, in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients.
The molecular heterogeneity of TNBC and lack of high frequency driver mutations other than TP53 have hindered the development of new and effective therapies that significantly improve patient outcomes. miRNAs, global regulators of survival and proliferation pathways important in tumor development and maintenance, are becoming promising therapeutic agents.
The high frequency of TP53 mutations in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC: negative for estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2) make Chk1 an attractive therapeutic target.
The expression of CK5/6, AR, and p53 in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) surgical sections from 52 patients with TNBC was analysed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and the co-expression patterns in individual cells were investigated by immunofluorescent (IF) staining.
The expression of p53 was higher in luminal B, HER2-enriched, and triple-negative breast cancers, and this was positively correlated with the expression of EGFR in TNBC but not in the other subtypes. p53 and EGFR expression was positively correlated in TNBC, which enables us to explore the molecular biological characteristics of TNBC, so as to provide new ideas for the treatment of TNBC.
