Abstract Most circulating tumor cells (CTC) are detected as single cells, whereas a small proportion of CTCs in multicellular clusters with stemness properties possess 20- to 100-times higher metastatic propensity than the cells. Here we report that CTC dynamics both singles and response therapies predict overall survival for breast cancer.

Breast cancers (BCs) of the luminal B subtype are estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), highly proliferative, resistant to standard therapies and have a poor prognosis. To better understand this we compared DNA copy number aberrations (CNAs), promoter methylation, gene expression profiles, somatic mutations in nine selected genes, 32 tumors with those observed 156 BCs other molecular subtypes. Frequent CNAs included 8p11-p12 11q13.1-q13.2 amplifications, 7q11.22-q34, 8q21.12-q24.23,...

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by a combination of inflammatory and demyelination processes in the spinal cord brain. Conventional drugs generally target autoimmune response, without any curative effect. For that reason, there great interest identifying novel agents with anti-inflammatory myelinating effects, to counter inflammation cell death distinctive disease. Methods results: An vitro assay showed curcumin (Cur) at 10 µM enhanced proliferation C8-D1A cells...

We recently identified a cell-of-origin-specific mRNA signature associated with metastasis and poor outcome in triple-negative carcinoma (TNBC). This TNBC cell-of-origin is the over-expression of histone deacetylases zinc finger protein HDAC1, HDAC7, ZNF92, respectively. Based on this signature, we discovered that combination three drugs (an HDAC inhibitor, an anti-helminthic Niclosamide, antibiotic Tanespimycin inhibits HSP90) synergistically reduces proliferation twelve tested cell lines....

Immunotherapy by blocking immune checkpoint regulators has emerged as a new targeted therapy for some cancers. Among them V-domain Ig suppressor of Tcell activation (VISTA) which is identified novel regulator in ovarian cancer. This study aimed to investigate the VISTA role Epithelial cancer (EOC), and its relationship with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) markers prognostic value. The expression VISTA, CD3, CD8, CD4, FOXP3, CD56 was assessed 168 EOC tissue microarrays (TMA)...

Introduction Immunotherapy by blocking immune checkpoints programmed death/ligand (PD1/PDL1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4(CTLA4) has emerged as new therapeutic targets in cancer. However, their efficacy been limited due to resistance. A new- checkpoint V-domain Ig-containing suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) appeared, but the use its inhibition effect combination with antibodies targeting PDL1/PD1and CTLA4 not reported ovarian Methods In this study, we investigated...

Although the detection of CTCs expressing HER2 at low intensity (HER2-low CTCs) has been shown to have a negative prognostic value in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients, biological intrinsic nature HER2-low remains unexplored. Considering technical challenges behind selective collection immunophenotype-specific CTCs, we developed pipeline individually capture CTCs. Four different cell lines (MDA-MB-231, T47D, MDA-MB-453, and SKBR3), that are known express immunohistochemistry levels...

To report epidemiological and anatomo-clinical features within a retrospective series of inflammatory breast cancer to evaluate prognostic factors. This study included 210 Tunisian patients presenting clinically diagnosed IBC, treated at the Institute Salah Azaiez (ISA) Tunis, Tunisia, from 2008 2013. We collected data on epidemiology, biological histologic response neoadjuvant therapy. Overall disease-free survivals were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method compared log-rank tests Cox's models...

Abstract Background: Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) has distinctive clinical and molecular features compared with invasive ductal (IDC). CTCs tdEVs are independent prognostic factors in MBC, however, liquid biopsy studies focusing on ILC to date scarce. Higher CTC levels have been observed than IDC. One study including 28 pts suggested the use of higher cutoff for prognosis stratification. The significance is unexplored. This aimed assess differences distribution value between Methods:...

1093 Background: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) expressing epithelial markers (EPCAM, cytokeratin (CK)) and lacking CD45 (a leukocyte marker) have been associated with poor outcome in many cancer types. Nonetheless, the presence of both CK (CK+/CD45+), circulating blood patients (pts) also reported, but not widely investigated. Early evidence indicates that dual-positive (DPcells) are hybrids deriving from fusion macrophages. We previously reported it is possible to detect DPcells pts...

Abstract Background: Liquid biopsy provides a real-time assessment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Recently, the complementary prognostic value tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (tdEVs) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) has been reported. We have previously confirmed strong significance CTCs tdEVs in inflammatory (IBC). While previous studies reported association with DNA (ctDNA) alterations MBC, no evidence is available for tdEVs. This study aimed to analyze ctDNA alterations,...
