Increased rates of locoregional recurrence are observed in patients with basal-like breast cancer (BC) despite the use radiation therapy (RT); therefore, approaches that result radiosensitization BC critically needed. Using patients' tumor gene expression data from 4 independent sets, we correlated to find genes significantly early after RT. The highest-ranked gene, TTK, was most highly expressed across multiple sets. Inhibition TTK by both genetic and pharmacologic methods enhanced...

Abstract Sustained locoregional control of disease is a significant issue in patients with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), local rates 80% or less at 5 years. Given the unsatisfactory outcomes for these patients, there clear need intensification therapy, including radiation. Inhibition DNA repair protein PARP1 has had little efficacy as single agent outside studies restricted to BRCA mutations; however, inhibition (PARPi) may lead radiosensitization aggressive tumor types. Thus, this study...

Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors have improved progression-free survival for metastatic, estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers, but their role in the nonmetastatic setting remains unclear. We sought to understand effects of CDK4/6 inhibition (CDK4/6i) and radiotherapy multiple preclinical cancer models.Transcriptomic proteomic analyses were used identify significantly altered pathways after CDK4/6i. Clonogenic assays quantify enhancement ratio (rER). DNA damage was...

Standard radiation therapy (RT) does not reliably provide locoregional control for women with multinode-positive breast cancer and triple-negative (TNBC). We hypothesized that CDK4/6 inhibition (CDK4/6i) would increase the radiosensitivity only of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) cells, but also TNBC expresses retinoblastoma (RB) protein. found CDK4/6i radiosensitized RB WT (n = 4, enhancement ratio [rER]: 1.49-2.22) failed to radiosensitize RB-null 3, rER: 0.84-1.00). expression predicted...

Canonical RAS signaling, including PI3K/AKT- and RAF/MEK-dependent activities, results mainly from RAS•GTP interaction with its effectors at the plasma membrane. Here, we identified a fundamental, oncogenic, noncanonical activity that increases XPO1-dependent export of nuclear protein cargo into cytoplasm is independent PI3K/AKT RAF/MEK signaling. This RAS-dependent step acts downstream XPO1 binding to mediated by perinuclear complex between RanGAP1 facilitates hydrolysis Ran•GTP Ran•GDP,...

Patients with radioresistant breast cancers, including a large percentage of women triple negative cancer (TNBC), demonstrate limited response to radiation (RT) and increased locoregional recurrence; thus, strategies increase the efficacy RT in TNBC are critically needed. We that pan Bcl-2 family inhibition (ABT-263, rER: 1.52-1.56) or Bcl-xL specific (WEHI-539, A-1331852; 1.31-2.00) radiosensitized wild-type

Abstract The majority of RAS oncogenic activity is thought to be mediated by its canonical signaling, mainly via RAS-GTP interactions with effectors RAF and PI3K at the plasma membrane, which respectively activate MEK/ERK AKT/mTOR pathways. However, in this study, we have identified a new, fundamental, pro-oncogenic, non-canonical that increases Exportin 1 (XPO1)-dependent export nuclear proteins into cytoplasm independent RAF/MEK PI3K/AKT signaling. protein machinery known depend on...

Abstract Background: Basal-like breast cancer (BC) has the highest rates of local recurrence despite use radiation therapy. Therefore, approaches for radiosensitization are critically needed patients with this subtype BC. Methods: Four independent datasets were used to correlate gene expression (LR) and Kaplan-Meier analysis validated impact TTK on LR. The METABRIC dataset was determine in BC subtypes. Clonogenic survival assays cell lines after inhibition (TTKi). Mouse models assess TTKi...
