Abstract Tamoxifen has been the mainstay therapy to treat early, locally advanced, and metastatic estrogen receptor-positive (ER + ) breast cancer, constituting around 75% of all cases. However, emergence resistance is common, necessitating identification novel therapeutic targets. Here, we demonstrated that long-noncoding RNA LINC00152 confers tamoxifen by blocking tamoxifen-induced ferroptosis, an iron-mediated cell death. Mechanistically, inhibiting reduces mRNA stability...

Abstract Purpose: Tamoxifen remains an important hormonal therapy for ER-positive breast cancer; however, development of resistance is a major obstacle in clinics. Here, we aimed to identify novel mechanisms tamoxifen and provide actionable drug targets overcoming resistance. Experimental Design: Whole-transcriptome sequencing, downstream pathway analysis, repositioning approaches were used modulators [here: phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D)] Clinical data involving tamoxifen-treated patients...

Abstract Phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D) is a member of the phosphodiesterase family enzymes, catalyzing hydrolysis cAMP second messenger and inhibiting signaling. Targeting PDE4D raises intracellular levels, leading to apoptosis cell cycle arrest in different tumor types. However, its contribution drug resistance metastasis still elusive. lncRNAs are more than 200 nucleotides length carry out diverse functions including transcriptional regulation, regulation proteins or RNA molecules by direct...

Abstract Estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer accounts for about 75% of all cases. Tamoxifen has been the mainstay therapy over 40 years that is used to treat early, locally advanced, and metastatic ER-positive cancers. Despite initial clinical success, approximately 20-30% high-risk, advanced patients are resistant tamoxifen or develop resistance time which significantly decreases survival. Long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) a class non-coding more than 200 nucleotides in length...
