TGFBR2 coordinates the endometrial response to estrogen, regulating endometrial hyperplasia and fertility. (PubMed, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A)
By integrating ER and SMAD4 genome-wide binding studies with transcriptomic datasets, we demonstrate that both ER and SMAD4 are required for Pgr transcription. In this study, we highlight the importance of TGFβR2 in endometrial function and female fertility and shed light on the potential involvement of TGFβ signaling in estrogen and progesterone response regulation during early pregnancy.

BRCA1: An Unrecognized Modulator of Lineage Plasticity in Basal-like Breast Cancer. (PubMed, J Mammary Gland Biol Neoplasia)
Understanding the mechanisms underlying BRCA1-mediated lineage plasticity offers novel therapeutic avenues to target early-stage tumor initiation and progression in BRCA1-mutated breast cancer. This review perspective sheds light on the role of BRCA1 in lineage plasticity and highlights probable mechanisms by which BRCA1 could promote this lineage plasticity.

Evaluating Ki-67 and PR as prognostic indicators in CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment for metastatic breast cancer. (PubMed, Ecancermedicalscience)
Patients with PR values <20% tended to have shorter PFS, unlike the Ki-67 value, which did not demonstrate an impact on PFS. This suggests a prognostic value of PR expression levels in this scenario.

Prevalence and Predictors of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Among Sudanese Women: A Retrospective Analysis of Newly Diagnosed Cases. (PubMed, Int J Womens Health)
TNBC is highly prevalent among Sudanese women, especially those younger than 50 years and those with MC. These findings underscore the importance of early diagnosis and wider access to molecular profiling to guide treatment in low-resource settings.

Progesterone receptors drive advanced breast cancer phenotypes including circulating tumor-and stem-like cell expansion in the context of ESR1 mutation. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
We previously showed that PR mediates expansion of cancer stem-like cell (CSC) populations and promotes tamoxifen resistance in nuclear ER/PR transcriptional complexes...The UPR activator ErSO, but not UPR inhibitors, blocked expansion of CSCs in WT as well as Y537S ER + models. Together, our findings demonstrate a critical interplay between PR and mutant ER function and provide insight into PR-driven pathways including hyperactivation of the stress-sensing UPR that can be exploited as potential therapeutic avenues in advanced ER+ breast cancer.

Repositioning GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Endometrial Cancer: Molecular Rationale, Preclinical Insights, and Translational Opportunities. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
As a class, GLP-1 RAs represent a promising therapeutic approach to targeting both the obesogenic milieu and tumor-intrinsic pathways in EC; however, agent-specific differences warrant attention. Prospective, subtype-stratified trials are essential to establish their role in comprehensive EC care.

Digital Quantification of Progesterone Receptor Expression in Meningiomas: Associations with WHO Grade and Clinicopathological Features. (PubMed, Turk Patoloji Derg)
Digital PR H-score assessment confirmed the inverse association between PR expression and WHO grade, as well as its correlation with proliferative activity. Using an FDA-cleared algorithm originally developed for breast carcinoma, this method provides objective and reproducible evaluation in meningiomas.

Ki67 Expression and Its Association With Clinicopathological Factors and Intrinsic Subtypes of Male Breast Cancer in Uganda: A Cross-sectional Study. (PubMed, Breast Cancer (Auckl))
The findings of this study have shown high expression in cases of MBC which are triple negative and negative PR status. This indicates that high Ki67 expression in MBC may be used in stratification of male patients with BC based on disease aggressiveness.

Immunological and Prognostic Profiling of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Based on Single-Cell and Bulk RNA Sequencing of T-Cell Exhaustion. (PubMed, Technol Cancer Res Treat)
Differential expression analysis and co-expression network construction revealed 154 candidate TEX-related genes, from which five prognostically significant genes were selected to construct a risk scoring model.ResultsOur findings indicate that TEX characteristics are crucial for prognostic assessment in TNBC patients, with significant correlations between risk scores and tumor-infiltrating immune cells. High-risk patients exhibited elevated expression levels of immune checkpoint genes, suggesting potential implications for immunotherapy.ConclusionsThis study underscores the clinical significance of TEX features in TNBC prognosis and highlights the urgent need for therapeutic strategies targeting TEX to improve patient outcomes.

Retrospective analysis of the correlation between MRP2 expression in circulating tumor cells and molecular characteristics of breast cancer. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
In conclusion, the present investigation reveals a noteworthy correlation between elevated levels of MRP2 protein in CTCs and TNBC. This finding deepens our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that contribute to the metastasis of breast cancer and provides a scientific basis for predicting treatment outcomes in breast cancer patients exhibiting elevated levels of MRP2 protein expression.

Synchronous Bilateral Breast Cancer with Heterogeneous Histology: Invasive Ductal and Lobular Carcinoma - A Case Report. (PubMed, Case Rep Oncol)
She underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel), followed by a left radical mastectomy with axillary dissection. Hormonal therapy (goserelin and exemestane) and adjuvant radiotherapy were initiated...Hormone receptor status, tumor biology, and extent of disease all influence treatment decisions. This rare clinical scenario highlights the need for further research and specific management guidelines.
