Abstract Molecular mechanisms underlying breast cancer lymph node metastasis remain unclear. Using single-cell sequencing, we investigated the transcriptome profile of 96,796 single cells from 15 paired samples primary tumors and axillary nodes. We identified nine cell subclusters including CD44 + / ALDH2 /ALDH6A1 stem (BCSCs), which had a copy-number variants similar to that normal tissue. Importantly, BCSCs existed only in evolved into metastatic clusters infiltrating Furthermore, data...

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is highly aggressive with a poor clinical prognosis and no targeted therapy. The c-Myc protein master transcription factor potential therapeutic target for TNBC. In this study, we develop PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) based on TNA (threose nucleic acid) DNA that effectively targets degrades c-Myc. aptamer selected in vitro to bind the c-Myc/Max heterodimer appended E-box sequence create high-affinity, biologically stable bivalent binder. TNA-E...

As a transcription factor and proto-oncogene, MYC is known to be deregulated in variety of tumors, including breast cancer. However, no consistent conclusion on the role mechanism deregulation during cancer carcinogenesis has been formed. Here, we used UALCAN, bc-GenExMiner, TCGA, cBioportal, STRING Kaplan-Meier Plotter databases explore mRNA expression, prognosis, transcriptional profile changes, signal pathway rewiring interaction with stem cells We found that expression varies different...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a crucial role as important mediators of intercellular communication in the progression tumors. The capture and analysis tumor-derived EVs offer new possibilities for application cancer liquid biopsies. This study aims to construct DNA tetrahedral nanostructure that specifically recognizes HER2 CD63, enabling effective enrichment detection HER2-expressing (HEVs). We enriched HEVs from cell lines 13 random clinical samples validated their characteristics by...

Cancer immunotherapy has emerged as a promising strategy against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). One of the immunosuppressive pathways involves programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and death ligand-1 (PD-L1), but many patients derived little benefit from PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint blockades treatment. Prior research shown that MYC, master transcription amplifier highly expressed in TNBC cells, can regulate tumor immune microenvironment constrain efficacy immunotherapy. This study aims to...
