RESUMO

Background: The combination of CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) and endocrine therapy (ET) is currently the standard first-line treatment for patients with metastatic hormone receptor positive (HR+), and HER2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer. However, the impact of HER2 status on the prognosis of patients receiving CDK4/6i and ET remains unclear. The meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate different outcomes between HER2-low and HER2-zero patients in advanced HR+ breast cancer receiving CDK4/6i and ET. Methods: A systematic search was performed in PubMed and EMBASE databases for relevant published literature. Objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) were pooled by fixed or random effects models. Results: Overall, 12 studies with 3567 patients were eligible for analysis. The pooled analysis suggested that no significant differences were observed in terms of ORR and OS between HER2-low and HER2-zero patients who underwent CDK4/6i and ET. Similarly, no significant difference in PFS was found between HER2-low and HER2-zero patients who underwent post-line CDK4/6i and ET or first-line Palbociclib and ET. However, in patients who received mixed-line (not a single treatment line) or first-line CDK4/6i and ET, the PFS was significantly shorter in the HER2-low subgroup than in the HER2-zero subgroup (mixed-line: HR = 1.36; 95% CI = 1.11-1.65; P = 0.002; first-line: HR = 1.14; 95% CI = 1.01-1.28; P = 0.04). A similar phenomenon was observed in patients who received mixed-line or post-line Palbociclib and ET (mixed-line: HR = 1.60; 95% CI = 1.09-2.34; P = 0.02; post-line: HR = 1.43; 95% CI = 1.03-2.00; P = 0.03). Conclusion: These results indicated that HER2-low status did not have a significant association with ORR and OS, but it may have a worse impact on PFS in patients who received mixed-line or first-line CDK4/6i and ET, as well as mixed-line or post-line palbociclib plus ET.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: It remains unknown whether the tumor stage at initial diagnosis and adjuvant treatments had any impacts on the long-term survival outcomes of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) achieving pathologic complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). METHODS: Clinical stage II-III patients with TNBC who achieved pCR after NACT were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program (SEER cohort) and the National Clinical Research Center for Cancer (Tianjin) in China (TMUCIH cohort). Survival analyses were conducted based on tumor stages and the types of adjuvant treatment received by the patients. The outcomes of interest were overall survival (OS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS). RESULTS: The TMUCIH cohort comprised 178 patients with a median follow-up of 55.5 months. Two and 3 patients experienced BCSS and OS events, respectively. The SEER cohort included 1218 patients with a median follow-up of 65.5 months, where 53 and 78 patients experienced BCSS and OS events, respectively. Patients diagnosed with stage III disease had significantly higher hazards of death compared to stage II disease (OS: hazard ratio [HR], 3.34; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.84-6.07; P < .001; BCSS: HR, 2.86; 95% CI, 1.38-5.92; P < .001). Adjuvant systemic and radiation therapy did not confer additional benefits to OS and BCSS. CONCLUSION: Tumor stage at initial diagnosis remains an independent predictor of long-term survival outcomes in patients with TNBC achieving pCR after NACT. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy do not appear to provide additional benefit to their long-term prognosis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The survival outcomes in HER2-low versus HER2-zero breast cancer (BC) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) remain unclear. The meta-analysis was conducted to summarize current evidence about the survival outcomes in HER2-low versus HER2-zero BC. METHODS: We conducted a systematic search in PubMed and EMBASE databases to identify relevant studies. RESULTS: A total of 14 studies with 53,714 patients were included. Overall, 34,037 patients (63.37%) were HER2-low, and 19,677 patients (36.63%) were HER2-zero. Patients with HER2-low tumors had a significantly lower pathological complete response (pCR) rate than patients with HER2-zero tumors, regardless of the hormone receptor status. Compared with HER2-zero breast cancer, the overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of HER2-low BC were longer in the overall cohort (HR = 0.72; 95% CI = 0.61-0.85; P < 0.0001; HR = 0.83; 95% CI = 0.75-0.92; P = 0.0002); however, no differences were observed in terms of OS and DFS between HER2-low and HER2-zero BC in the HR-negative group. In the HR-positive group, HER2-low status had no significant impact on OS, while significantly associated with increased DFS (HR = 0.85; 95% CI = 0.76-0.96; P = 0.007). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that although HER2-low BC has a poor response to NACT, it is correlated with favorable OS and DFS after NACT in the overall cohort as well as longer DFS in the HR-positive group.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with dual-targeted therapy is the standard treatment for human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. Although the dual-targeted therapy has significantly improved the pathological complete response (pCR) rate, further investigation is needed to identify biomarkers that predict the response to neoadjuvant therapy. METHODS: This retrospective study analyzed 353 patients with HER2-positive breast invasive ductal carcinoma. The correlation between clinicopathological factors and pCR rate was evaluated. A nomogram was constructed based on the results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis to predict the probability of pCR. RESULTS: The breast pCR (b-pCR) rate was 56.1% (198/353) and the total pCR (t-pCR) rate was 52.7% (186/353). Multivariate analysis identified ER status, PR status, HER2 status, Ki-67 index, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens as independent indicators for both b-pCR and t-pCR. The nomogram had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.73 (95% CI: 0.68-0.78). According to the nomogram, the t- pCR rate was highest in the ER-PR- HER2-positive patients (131/208) and lowest in the ER + PR + HER2-positive patients (19/73). The subgroup analyses showed that there was no significant difference in pCR rate among the neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens in ER positive, PR positive, HER2 IHC 2 + , Ki67 index < 30% population. However, for ER-PR-HER2-positive patients, the neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen has a great influence on the pCR rates. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with ER-negative, PR-negative, HER2 3 + and high KI-67 index were more likely to achieve pCR. THP may be used as an alternative to AC-THP or TCbHP in selected HER2-positive patients.

RESUMO

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer globally, endangering women's physical and mental health. Phospholipase D3 (PLD3) belongs to the phosphodiesterase family (PLD). PLD3 is related to insulin-mediated phosphorylation of the AKT pathway, suggesting that it may play a role in the occurrence and development of malignant tumors. This study may further explore the molecular mechanism of PLD3 inhibiting breast cancer cell proliferation. In this study, we demonstrated that PLD3 and miR-6796 are co-expressed in breast cancer. PLD3 can bind with CDK1 and inhibit its expression, leading to mitotic arrest and inhibiting breast cancer proliferation. Wild-type p53 regulates PLD3 and miR-6796 expression by competitively binding to the PLD3 promoter with ZEB1. DNMT3B, as the target gene of miR-6796, is recruited into the PLD3 promoter by combining with ZEB1 to regulate the DNA methylation of the PLD3 promoter and ultimately affect PLD3 and miR-6796 expression. In conclusion, we revealed the role and molecular mechanism of PLD3 and its embedded miR-6796 in breast cancer proliferation, providing clues and a theoretical foundation for future research and development of therapeutic targets and prognostic markers for breast cancer.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The oncologic safety of preserving the pectoralis major fascia (PMF) in patients with breast cancer remains controversial. In this study, we aimed to determine the impact of preserving the PMF on long-term oncologic outcomes in patients with breast cancer treated with immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) following conservative mastectomy. METHODS: We selected women with early-stage breast cancer who underwent conservative mastectomy and submuscular IBBR in our center during 2014-2019. The propensity score matching method was used to create well-balanced fascia-preserved and fascia-removed groups. Locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS), disease-free survival (DFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), and overall survival (OS) rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using log-rank tests between the fascia-preserved and fascia-removed groups. RESULTS: After matching, there were 219 patients in each group. The mean follow-up time was 64.8 ± 18.1 months for the fascia-preserved group and 64.9 ± 18.4 months for the fascia-removed group. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of LRFS (91.3% vs. 93.8%; p = 0.818), DMFS (94.0% vs. 92.3%; p = 0.056), DFS (89.9% vs. 88.4%; p = 0.261), and OS (95.8% vs. 95.4%; p = 0.783) rates. In the fascia-preserved group, 61.5% of the locoregional recurrence events occurred within 2 years after surgery. CONCLUSION: Preservation of the PMF did not significantly impact the long-term oncologic outcomes in patients with breast cancer who underwent conservative mastectomy and IBBR. The PMF might be safely preserved in patients without suspicious tumor invasion into this fascia.

RESUMO

Background: The sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) takes on a critical significance in breast cancer surgery since it is the gold standard for assessing axillary lymph node (ALN) metastasis and determining whether to perform axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). A bibliometric analysis is beneficial to visualize characteristics and hotspots in the field of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs), and it is conducive to summarizing the important themes in the field to provide more insights into SLNs and facilitate the management of SLNs. Materials and methods: Search terms relating to SLNs were aggregated and searched in the Web of Science core collection database to identify the top 100 most cited articles. Bibliometric tools were employed to identify and analyze publications for annual article volume, authors, countries, institutions, keywords, as well as hotspot topics. Results: The period was from 1998 to 2018. The total number of citations ranged from 160 to 1925. LANCET ONCOLOGY and JAMA-JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION were the top two journals in which the above articles were published. Giuliano, AE was the author with the highest number of articles in this field with 15. EUROPEAN INST ONCOL is the institution with the highest number of publications, with 35 articles. Hotspots include the following 4 topics, false-negative SLNs after neoadjuvant chemotherapy; prediction of metastatic SLNs; quality of life and postoperative complications; and lymphography of SLNs. Conclusion: This study applies bibliometric tools to analyze the most influential literature, the top 100 cited articles in the field of SLNB, to provide researchers and physicians with research priorities and hotspots.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies occurred in female around the globe. Recent studies have revealed the crucial characters of miRNA and genes, as well as the essential roles of epigenetic regulation in breast cancer initiation and progression. In our previous study, miR-142-3p was identified as a tumor suppressor and led to G2/M arrest through targeting CDC25C. However, the specific mechanism is still uncertain. METHODS: We identified PAX5 as the upstream regulator of miR-142-5p/3p through ALGGEN website and verified by series of assays in vitro and in vivo. The expression of PAX5 in breast cancer was detected by qRT-PCR and western blot. Besides, bioinformatics analysis and BSP sequencing were performed to analyze the methylation of PAX5 promoter region. Finally, the binding sites of miR-142 on DNMT1 and ZEB1 were predicted by JASPAR, and proved by luciferase reporter assay, ChIP analysis and co-IP. RESULTS: PAX5 functioned as a tumor suppressor by positive regulation of miR-142-5p/3p both in vitro and in vivo. The expression of PAX5 was regulated by the methylation of its promoter region induced by DNMT1 and ZEB1. In addition, miR-142-5p/3p could regulate the expression of DNMT1 and ZEB1 through binding with their 3'UTR region, respectively. CONCLUSION: In summary, PAX5-miR-142-DNMT1/ZEB1 constructed a negative feedback loop to regulate the progression of breast cancer, which provided emerging strategies for breast cancer therapy.

RESUMO

Background: Early identification of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is instrumental in predicting patients prognosis. However, since a fixed criterion with high accuracy cannot be generalized to molecular subtypes, our study first aimed to redefine grades of clinical response to NAC in invasive breast cancer patients (IBC). And then developed a prognostic model based on clinical features and ultrasound semantics. Methods: A total of 480 IBC patients were enrolled who underwent anthracycline and taxane-based NAC between 2018 and 2020. The decrease rate of the largest diameter was calculated by ultrasound after NAC and their cut-off points were determined among subtypes. Thereafter, a nomogram was constructed based on clinicopathological and ultrasound-related data, and validated using the calibration curve, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, decision curve analysis (DCA), and clinical impact curve (CIC). Results: The optimal cut-off points for predicting pCR were 53.23%, 51.56%, 41.89%, and 53.52% in luminal B-like (HER2 negative), luminal B-like (HER2 positive), HER2 positive, and triple-negative, respectively. In addition, time interval, tumor size, molecular subtypes, largest diameter decrease rate, and change of blood perfusion were significantly associated with pCR (all p < 0.05). The prediction model based on the above variables has great predictive power and clinical value. Conclusion: Taken together, our data demonstrated that calculated cut-off points of tumor reduction rates could be reliable in predicting pathological response to NAC and developed nomogram predicting prognosis would help tailor systematic regimens with high precision.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the major cause of death in females globally. Chemokine-like factor like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing 7 (CMTM7) is reported as a tumor suppressor and is involved in epidermal growth factor receptor degradation and PI3K/AKT signaling in previous studies. However, other molecular mechanisms of CMTM7 remain unclear. METHODS: The expression level of CMTM7 in breast cancer cells and tissues was detected by qRT-PCR and western blot, and the methylation of CMTM7 promoter was detected by BSP sequencing. The effect of CMTM7 was verified both in vitro and in vivo, including MTT, colony formation, EdU assay, transwell assay and wound healing assay. The interaction between CMTM7 and CTNNA1 was investigated by co-IP assay. The regulation of miR-182-5p on CMTM7 and TCF3 on miR-182-5p was detected by luciferase reporter assay and ChIP analysis. RESULTS: This study detected the hypermethylation levels of the CMTM7 promoter region in breast cancer tissues and cell lines. CMTM7 was performed as a tumor suppressor both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, CMTM7 was a direct miR-182-5p target. Besides, we found that CMTM7 could interact with Catenin Alpha 1 (CTNNA1) and regulate Wnt/ß-catenin signaling. Finally, transcription factor 3 (TCF3) can regulate miR-182-5p. We identified a feedback loop with the composition of miR-182-5p, CMTM7, CTNNA1, CTNNB1 (ß-catenin), and TCF3, which play essential roles in breast cancer progression. CONCLUSION: These findings reveal the emerging character of CMTM7 in Wnt/ß-catenin signaling and bring new sights of gene interaction. CMTM7 and other elements in the feedback loop may serve as emerging targets for breast cancer therapy.

RESUMO

Tamoxifen is commonly used for the treatment of patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, but the acquired resistance to tamoxifen presents a critical challenge of breast cancer therapeutics. Recently, long noncoding RNA MIR497HG and its embedded miR-497 and miR-195 are proved to play significant roles in many types of human cancers, but their roles in tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer remain unknown. The results indicate that MIR497HG deficiency induces breast cancer progression and tamoxifen resistance by inducing downregulation of miR-497/195. miR-497/195 coordinately represses five positive PI3K-AKT regulators (MAP2K1, AKT3, BCL2, RAF1, and CCND1), resulting in inhibition of PI3K-AKT signaling, and PI3K-AKT inhibition in tamoxifen-resistant cells restored tamoxifen responsiveness. Furthermore, ER α binds the MIR497HG promoter to activate its transcription in an estrogen-dependent manner. ZEB1 interacts with HDAC1/2 and DNMT3B at the MIR497HG promoter, resulting in promoter hypermethylation and histone deacetylation. The findings reveal that ZEB1-induced MIR497HG depletion contributes to breast cancer progression and tamoxifen resistance through PI3K-AKT signaling. MIR497HG can be used as a biomarker for predicting tamoxifen sensitivity in patients with ER+ breast cancer.

RESUMO

Studies exploring the association of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) with breast cancer and related mechanisms are limited. To investigate the relationship between TBBPA levels in breast adipose and breast cancer, we carried out case-control research. As well as further examine the mediating role of adipose metabolites between TBBPA and breast cancer using the metabolomics approach. In this study, the concentration of TBBPA was determined utilizing ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) after a solid phase extraction (SPE) pretreatment. High-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was employed to analyze adipose metabolomics. Evaluation of metabolites linked to TBBPA exposure and breast cancer was performed utilizing mediation analysis. With an estimated OR (95%CI) of 1.153 (1.023, 1.299), TBBPA was firmly linked with breast cancer. We also used propensity score matching analysis and sensitivity analysis to reduce the effect of confounding factors on the results. Metabolomics of adipose suggested significant perturbation in the linoleic acid metabolism pathway. In addition, for PC (16:0/16:0) as phospholipids, a mediation effect on the associations of TBBPA exposure with breast cancer risks was observed (estimated mediation percentage: 56.58%). Understanding the relationship between TBBPA exposure and the risk of breast cancer may be facilitated by the findings, which point to potential mediation metabolites.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Surgical meshes are often used in retro-pectoral implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) to improve lower pole expansion. However, using of surgical meshes is associated with increased complications and costs. To solve this problem, we have adopted a modified fascia-based IBBR technique using fasciae of pectoral major, serratus anterior, and external oblique muscles to form a sling covering the lower pole of prosthesis since 2014. METHODS: Data of 788 retro-pectoral IBBR cases, including 250 fascia-based IBBR cases (fascial group) and 538 traditional IBBR cases (control group), treated between 2014 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The surgical outcomes of the fascial and control group were compared. The primary endpoint was the rate of post-operative complications requiring interventions. The secondary endpoint was the rate of explantation. The exploratory endpoint was the time from surgery to complication and explantation. RESULTS: The fascial group had significantly lower rates of developing major post-operative complications (1.2 vs. 6.1%, p = 0.002) and losing prostheses (1.2 vs. 4.3%, p = 0.025), as compared with the control group. The median time from surgery to complication and explantation were 61 (range, 35-115) days and 92 (range, 77-134) days for the fascial group and 35 (range, 6-239) days and 63 (range, 23-483) days for the control group, respectively. CONCLUSION: Fascia-based IBBR technique had low rates of major post-operative complications and explantation. Fascia-based IBBR technique could be considered as an alternative reconstruction method in properly selected patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer (BC) remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. High recurrence risk Luminal BC receives adjuvant chemotherapy in addition to standard hormone therapy. Considering the heterogeneity of Luminal B BC, a more accurate classification model is urgently needed. METHODS: In this study, we retrospectively reviewed the data of 1603 patients who were diagnosed with HER2-negative breast invasive ductal carcinoma. According to the expression level of PR and Ki-67 index, the Luminal B (HER2-negative) BCs were divided into three groups: ER+PR-Ki67low (ER-positive, PR-negative, and Ki-67 index <20%), ER+PR+Ki67high (ER-positive, PR-positive, and Ki-67 index ≥20%), and ER+PR-Ki67high (ER-positive, PR-negative, and Ki-67 index ≥20%). The cox proportional hazards regression model was used to evaluate the correlation between each variable and outcomes. Besides, discriminatory accuracy of the models was compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and log-rank χ2 value. RESULTS: The analysis results showed that there was a significant correlation between subtypes using this newly defined classification and overall survival (p < 0.001) and disease-free survival (DFS) (p < 0.001). Interestingly, patients in the ER+PR-Ki67high subgroup have the worst survival outcome in Luminal B (HER2-negative) subtype, similar to Triple-negative patients. Besides, the ER+PR+Ki67high has worse 5-year DFS compared with Luminal A group. There was a significant relationship between the regrouping subtype and the recurrence score index (RI) (p < 0.001). Moreover, the results showed that patients in ER+PR-Ki67high subtype were more likely to have high RI for distance recurrence (RI-DR) and local recurrence (RI-LRR). Our newly defined classification has a better discrimination ability to predict survival outcome and recurrence score of Luminal B (HER2-negative) BC patients, which may help in clinical decision-making for individual treatment.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer has become the most frequently diagnosed cancer worldwide. Increasing evidence indicated that zinc finger proteins (ZNFs), the largest family of transcription factors, contribute to cancer development and progression. Although ZNF384 is overexpressed in several types of human cancer, the role of ZNF384 in breast cancer remains unknown. Therefore, our research focused on ZNF384 regulation of the malignant phenotype of breast cancer and the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS: CCK-8 and colony formation assays were used to evaluate cell proliferation. Transwell and scratch assays were used to evaluate the cell migration and invasion. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-qPCR and luciferase reporter assays were used to confirm the target relationship between ZNF384 and zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1). Xenografts were used to monitor the targets in vivo effects. RESULTS: We noted that ZNF384 was significantly overexpressed in breast cancer and highlighted the oncogenic mechanism of ZNF384. ZNF384 transactivated ZEB1 expression and induced an epithelial and mesenchymal-like phenotype, resulting in breast cancer metastasis. Furthermore, ZNF384 may be a target of miR-485-5p, and ZEB1 can up-regulate ZNF384 expression by repressing miR-485-5p expression. Together, we unveiled a feedback loop of ZNF384-ZEB1 in breast cancer metastasis. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that ZNF384 can serve as a prognostic factor and a therapeutic target for breast cancer patients.

RESUMO

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can influence the proliferation, autophagy, and apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). LncRNAs also emerge as valuable prognostic factors for NSCLC patients. Consequently, we set out to discover more autophagy-associated lncRNAs. We acquired autophagy-associated genes and information on lncRNAs from The Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA), and the Human Autophagy Database (HADb). Then, the prognostic prediction signature was constructed through using co-expression and Cox regression analysis. The signature was constructed including 7 autophagy-associated lncRNAs (ABALON, NKILA, LINC00941, AL161431.1, AL691432.2, AC020765.2, MMP2-AS1). After that, we used univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis to calculate the risk score. The survival analysis and ROC curve analysis confirmed good performances of the signature. GSEA indicated that the high-risk group was principally enriched in the adherens junction pathway. In addition, biological experiments showed that ABALON promoted the proliferation, metastasis and autophagy levels of NSCLC cells. These findings demonstrate that the risk signature consisting of 7 autophagy-associated lncRNAs accurately predicts the prognosis of NSCLC patients and should be investigated for potential therapeutic targets in clinic.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer remains the most common malignancy in females around the world. Recently, a growing number of studies have focused on gene dysregulation. In our previous study, Krüppel-like factors (KLFs) were found to play essential roles in breast cancer development, among which KLF2 could function as a tumor suppressor. Nevertheless, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. METHODS: miR-92a-3p was identified as the upstream regulator of KLF2 by starBase v.3.0. The regulation of KLF2 by miR-92a-3p was verified by a series of in vitro and in vivo assays. Further exploration revealed that Baculoviral IAP Repeat Containing 5 (BIRC5) was the target of KLF2. ChIP assay, dual-luciferase reporter analysis, quantitative real-time PCR, and western blot were performed for verification. RESULTS: miR-92a-3p functioned as a tumor promoter by inhibiting KLF2 by binding to its 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR). In addition, KLF2 could transcriptionally suppress the expression of BIRC5. CONCLUSION: Collectively, our results uncovered the miR-92a-3p/KLF2/BIRC5 axis in breast cancer and provided a potential mechanism for breast cancer development, which may serve as promising strategies for breast cancer therapy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a large family of synthetic chemicals, some of which are mammary toxicants and endocrine disruptors. Recent studies have implicated exposure to PFASs as a risk factor for breast cancer in Europe and America. Little is known about the role of PFASs with respect to breast cancer in the Chinese population. METHODS: Participants who were initially diagnosed with breast cancer at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital between 2012 and 2016 were recruited as cases. The controls were randomly selected from the participants with available blood samples in the Chinese National Breast Cancer Screening Program (CNBCSP) cohort. Ultimately, we enrolled 373 breast cancer patients and 657 controls. Plasma PFASs were measured by an ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) system coupled to a 5500 Q-Trap triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. A logistic regression model with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regularization was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the relationships between PFASs and breast cancer. The three most predictive variables in the LASSO model were selected from 17 PFASs, which was based on the optimal penalty coefficient (λ = 0.0218) identified with the minimum criterion. Additionally, Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) and quantile g-computation models were applied to evaluate the associations between separate and mixed exposure to PFASs and breast cancer. RESULTS: Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) exhibited the highest concentration in both the cases and controls. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluoro-n-decanoic acid (PFDA) were positively associated with breast cancer, and perfluoro-n-tridecanoic acid (PFTrDA) was negatively associated with breast cancer according to both the continuous-PFASs and the quartile-PFASs logistic regression models. Of note, PFOA was associated with the occurrence of estrogen receptor (ER)-, progesterone receptor (PR)-, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer (ORER+ = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.19, 1.80; ORPR+ = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.69; ORHER2 = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.19, 2.21). CONCLUSIONS: Overall, we observed that PFASs were associated with breast cancer in Chinese women. Prospective cohort studies and mechanistic experiments are warranted to elucidate whether these associations are causal.

RESUMO

Background: Commensal microbiota have been proven to colonize the mammary gland, but whether their composition is altered in patients with breast cancer (BC) remains elusive. This study intends to explore the breast microbiome differences between benign and malignant diseases and to investigate the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) on the breast microbiota in patients with BC. Methods: Breast normal adipose tissues (NATs) were collected from 79 patients with BC and 15 controls between July 2019 and November 2021. The BC group consisted of 29 patients who had received NAC and 50 who were non-NAC patients. Participants diagnosed with benign breast disease were recruited as controls. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to analyze the bacterial diversity of NATs. Results: The community structure of the NAT microbiome was significantly different between the BC and control groups. Proteobacteria decreased (47.40% versus 39.74%), whereas Firmicutes increased (15.71% versus 25.33%) in patients with BC when compared with that in control tissues. Nine genera were enriched in BC NATs, and four genera levels increased in the control group. The associations between differential bacterial genera and breast tumor grade were calculated by Spearman's correlation. The results showed that tumor grade was positively associated with the relative abundance of Streptococcus and negatively related to Vibrio, Pseudoalteromonas, RB41, and Photobacterium. Moreover, menopause was associated with the microbiota composition change of non-NAC BC patients and related to the significant reduction in the abundance level of Pseudoalteromonas, Veillonella, and Alcaligenes. In addition, NAC was related to the beta diversity of patients with BC and associated with the decrease of Clostridium_sensu_stricto_7 and Clostridium_sensu_stricto_2 in postmenopausal patients. Of note, Tax4Fun functional prediction analysis revealed that the metabolic state was more exuberant in the BC group with upregulating of multiple metabolism-related pathways. Conclusion: Our results offer new insight into the relationship between NAC and breast microbiota and help to better characterize the breast microbial dysbiosis that occurs in patients with BC. Further epidemiological studies with larger sample size and well-designed animal experiments are required to elucidate the role of breast microbiota in the therapeutic outcome of BC.

RESUMO

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is disrupting routine medical care of cancer patients, including those who have cancer or are undergoing cancer screening. In this study, breast cancer management during the COVID-19 pandemic (BCMP) is reviewed, and the research trends of BCMP are evaluated by quantitative and qualitative evaluation. Methods: In this study, published studies relating to BCMP from 1 January 2020 to 1 April 2022 were searched from the Web of Science database (WoS). Bibliometric indicators consisted of publications, research hotspots, keywords, authors, journals, institutions, nations, and h-index. Results: A total of 182 articles investigating BCMP were searched. The United States of America and the University of Rome Tor Vergata were the nation and the institution with the most publications on BCMP. The first three periodicals with leading published BCMP studies were Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, Breast, and In Vivo. Buonomo OC was the most prolific author in this field, publishing nine articles (9/182, 4.94%). The co-keywords analysis of BCMP suggests that the top hotspots and trends in research are screening, surgery, rehabilitation, emotion, diagnosis, treatment, and vaccine management of breast cancer during the pandemic. The hotspot words were divided into six clusters, namely, screening for breast cancer patients in the pandemic, breast cancer surgery in the pandemic, recovery of breast cancer patients in the pandemic, motion effect of the outbreak on breast cancer patients, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer patients in the pandemic, and vaccination management for breast cancer patients during a pandemic. Conclusion: BCMP has received attention from scholars in many nations over the last 3 years. This study revealed significant contributions to BCMP research by nations, institutions, scholars, and journals. The stratified clustering study provided the current status and future trends of BCMP to help physicians with the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer through the pandemic, and provide a reference for in-depth clinical studies on BCMP.
