LABORATORY RESEARCH
Progesterone Induces Adult Mammary Stem Cell Expansion
Here researchers show that the mammary stem cell pool increases 14-fold during maximal progesterone levels at the luteal dioestrus phase of the mouse. [Nature]
A Novel Role for 14-3-3(Sigma) in Regulating Epithelial Cell Polarity
Using a unique transgenic mouse model of ErbB2-induced mammary tumorigenesis, researchers demonstrated previously that amplification of ErbB2 is frequently accompanied by loss of the 14-3-3(sigma) gene. [Genes Dev]
Primary Cilia Regulate Branching Morphogenesis during Mammary Gland Development
During mammary development, researchers find cilia on luminal epithelial, myoepithelial, and stromal cells during early branching morphogenesis when epithelial ducts extend into the fat pad and undergo branching morphogenesis. [Curr Biol]
Functionality of Unliganded VDR in Breast Cancer Cells: Repressive Action on CYP24 Basal Transcription
It is well-established that CYP24, an immediate target gene of VDR is upregulated by VDR ligands. This study is focused on the functional role of unliganded VDR by investigating the correlation between the expression of VDR protein and basal mRNA levels of CYP24 in breast cancer cell lines. [Mol Cell Biochem]
Sulforaphane, a Dietary Component of Broccoli/Broccoli Sprouts, Inhibits Breast Cancer Stem Cells
In this study, researchers evaluated sulforaphane, a natural compound derived from broccoli/broccoli sprouts, for its efficacy to inhibit breast cancer stem cells and its potential mechanism. [Clin Cancer Res]
Higher Expression Levels of SOCS 1,3,4,7 Are Associated with Earlier Tumour Stage and Better Clinical Outcome in Human Breast Cancer
In this study, researchers examined the expression of SOCS 1-7 genes in normal and breast cancer tissue and correlated this with several clinico-pathological and prognostic factors. [BMC Cancer]
Cytoplasmic Delivery of Liposomes into MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells Mediated by Cell-Specific Phage Fusion Coat Protein
Earlier, researchers have shown that doxorubicin-loaded liposomes (Doxil) modified with a chimeric phage fusion coat protein specific towards MCF-7 breast cancer cells identified from a phage landscape library demonstrated a significantly enhanced association with target cells and an increased cytotoxicity. [Mol Pharm]
Breast Cancer Diagnosis Using a Microfluidic Multiplexed Immunohistochemistry Platform
Here, researchers report a microfluidics-based multiplexed immunohistochemistry platform that significantly improves immunohistochemistry performance in reduction of time and tissue consumption, quantification, consistency, sensitivity, specificity and cost-effectiveness. [PLoS ONE]
CLINICAL RESEARCH
Estrogen Alone in Postmenopausal Women and Breast Cancer Detection by Means of Mammography and Breast Biopsy
As the influence of estrogen alone on breast cancer detection is not established, researchers examined this issue in the Women's Health Initiative trial, which randomly assigned 10,739 postmenopausal women with prior hysterectomy to conjugated equine estrogen (CEE; 0.625 mg/d) or placebo. [J Clin Oncol]
Phase I Study of Trastuzumab-DM1, a HER2 Antibody-Drug Conjugate, Given Every 3 Weeks to Patients With HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer
This first-in-human study of Tratuzmab-DM1 (T-DM1) evaluated safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary activity of T-DM1 in patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer. [J Clin Oncol]
Biomarker Expression and Risk of Subsequent Tumors After Initial Ductal Carcinoma In Situ Diagnosis
Researchers conducted a nested case-control study in a population-based cohort of 1162 women who were diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ and treated by lumpectomy alone from 1983 to 1994. [J Natl Cancer Inst]

POLICY NEWS
Hutchinson Center Receives $10.24 Million from National Institutes of Health for Latina Breast Cancer Research
The National Institutes of Health has awarded $10.24 million to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to lead a five-year study that aims to understand and prevent breast cancer disparities in Hispanic women. [Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Press Release]
Science Panel Cuts Authorization Levels for Three COMPETES Agencies
The House of Representatives Science and Technology Committee scaled back proposed funding levels for three key science agencies as part of its reauthorization of the America COMPETES Act. [The House of Representatives Science and Technology Committee, United States]
Commission to Boost Research and Innovation by Making it Easier to Apply for and Manage European Union Grants
The European Commission has unveiled a plan to simplify the procedures for taking part in European Union-funded research projects. [European Research, Innovation and Science Commissioner, European Union]
