LABORATORY RESEARCH
53BP1 Inhibits Homologous Recombination in BRCA1-Deficient Cells by Blocking Resection of DNA Breaks
Here, researchers show that DNA breaks in BRCA1-deficient cells are aberrantly joined into complex chromosome rearrangements by a process dependent on the nonhomologous end-joining factors 53BP1 and DNA ligase 4. [Cell]
CARM1 Mediates the Ligand-Independent and Tamoxifen-Resistant Activation of the Estrogen Receptor Alpha by cAMP
Sustained protein kinase A activity promoting a constitutive interaction may contribute to tamoxifen resistance of breast tumors. [Genes Dev]
Key Roles for MED1 LxxLL Motifs in Pubertal Mammary Gland Development and Luminal-Cell Differentiation
Results establish a key nuclear receptor- and cell-specific in vivo role for MED1 LxxLL motifs, through Mediator-ER(alpha) interactions, in mammary gland development. [Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A]
Function-Based Gene Identification Using Enzymatically Generated Normalized shRNA Library and Massive Parallel Sequencing
As a general strategy for function-based gene identification, an shRNA library containing on average 150 shRNAs per gene was enzymatically generated from normalized (reduced-redundance) human cDNA. [Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A]
Retinoic Acid Mediates Regulation of Network Formation by COUP-TFII and VE-Cadherin Expression by TGF(Beta) Receptor Kinase in Breast Cancer Cells
This study demonstrates that of the endothelial-related genes induced by retinoic acid (RA) treatment, only a few were affected by knockdown of VE-cadherin, ruling it out as a regulator of the RA-induced endothelial genotypic switch. [PLoS ONE]
Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in Tumor-Initiating Cells and Its Clinical Implications in Breast Cancer
Researchers review recent evidence of the involvement of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in breast cancer tumor-initiating cells, focusing on clinical studies. [J Mammary Gland Biol Neoplasia]
CLINICAL RESEARCH
Population-Based Study of the Risk of Second Primary Contralateral Breast Cancer Associated With Carrying a Mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2
This study assessed the risk of subsequent contralateral breast cancer associated with carrying a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. [J Clin Oncol]
Intratumor Heterogeneity and Precision of Microarray-Based Predictors of Breast Cancer Biology and Clinical Outcome
Researchers investigate the impact of intratumor heterogeneity, a largely unstudied component of variance, on the performance of several microarray-based assays in breast cancer. [J Clin Oncol]
Effect of Changing Breast Cancer Incidence Rates on the Calibration of the Gail Model
The Gail model combines relative risks for five breast cancer risk factors with age-specific breast cancer incidence rates and competing mortality rates to predict risk of invasive breast cancer over a given time period. Researchers evaluated the model's calibration in two recent cohorts. [J Clin Oncol]
Effect of Zoledronic Acid on Disseminated Tumour Cells in Women With Locally Advanced Breast Cancer: An Open Label, Randomised, Phase II Trial
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of zoledronic acid on clearance of disseminated tumor cells from the bone marrow in women undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. [Lancet Oncol]
