AB  - Background: Breast cancer is the most commonly occurring malignancy and the leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Triple-negaƟ ve breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype and is associated with high recurrence rates, high incidence of distant metastases and poor overall survival. The aim of this study was to invesƟ gate the role of cludin 3, claudin 4 and claudin 7 in TNBC promoƟ on and progression. Claudins are Ɵ ght juncƟ on (TJ) integral membrane proteins that are key regulators of the paracellular pathway. Materials and methods: This is a retrospecƟ ve analysis of 125 paƟ ents with triple-negaƟ ve breast cancer operated at the InsƟ tute of Oncology and Radiology of Serbia in the period from 2009 to 2014. The expression of claudin 3, 4 and 7 was observed using the immunohistochemical staining method. The Allred scoring system was used with cut-off values: ≤4 and >4 (low/ high expression). Results: Our results showed that the expression of claudins 3 and 4 correlate with higher nuclear gradus and low desease free interval (DFI). More over, the expression of claudin 3 and claudin 4 correlates (Spearman test p˂0.0001). In addiƟ on, high expression of claudin 7 is signifi cantly related to low DFI of paƟ ents (p˂0.005) and distant metastases. Conclusions: We concluded that claudin 3, claudin 4 and claudin 7 have signifi cant impact on TNBC progression. Namely, elevated expression of these proteins signifi cantly correlates with low DFI and distant metastases. In other words, elevated expression of claudins is a bad news for TNBC paƟ ents. Therefore, the expression of claudins could be a good prognosƟ c marker for TNBC paƟ ents and potential target for future therapy protocols.

AB  - Rak dojke (RD) je najčešći tip maligniteta i vodeći uzrok smrti od raka kod žena širom sveta. RD je izuzetno heterogena bolest i stoga su neophodni različiti modaliteti lečenja da bi se pokrile ove razlike. Cilj našeg istraživanja je bio da se ispita uticaj inaktivacije TP53 i PTEN tumor supresorskih gena (TSG) na odgovor RD na različite modalitete lečenja, kao i njihova moguća saradnja u tome, na postoperativnim uzorcima RD. Metode. Pacijentkinje su klasifikovane, na osnovu primenjene adjuvantne terapije, u četiri različite grupe: one koje su primale samo hormonsku terapiju (HT), hormonsku terapiju u kombinaciji sa hemoterapijom (HT/CHT), hormonsku terapiju u kombinaciji sa hemoterapijom i biološkom terapijom (HT/CHT/H) i druge sistemske terapije koje isključuju HT. Funkcionalna inaktivacija TP53 i PTEN TSG je proučavana analizom mutacionog statusa, gubitka heterozigotnosti (LOH) i metilacionog statusa. Rezultati. Naši rezultati su pokazali da je TP53 gen izmenjen kod 63 od 90 pacijenata (70%), dok je učestalost promena PTEN gena bila nešto niža, 54 od 90 (60%). Simultana inaktivacija je detektovana u 43 testirana uzorka (48%) sa značajnom povezanošću između dva analizirana TSG-a. Dalje, pokazali smo da status TP53 ima značajan uticaj na odgovor pacijenata na terapiju. Suprotno ovome, nismo pokazali značajnu asocijaciju između mutacionog statusa PTEN-a i različitih modaliteta lečenja. Međutim, utvrđena je značajna povezanost između primenjenih terapija i simultanih inaktivacija ova dva TSG-a (p = 0,00001). Zaključak. Pacijenti sa wtTP53 pokazuju značajno bolji terapijski odgovor bez obzira na vrstu terapije u poređenju sa nosiocima mutiranog TP53 gena.
AB  - Introduction. Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent type of malignancy and the leading cause of cancer related death among women worldwide. BC is exceptionally heterogeneous disease and therefore distinct treatment modalities are necessary to address these differences. The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of TP53 and PTEN tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) inactivation on BC response to different treatment modalities and their possible cooperation, on post-operative BC samples.   Methods. Patients were classified, based on applied adjuvant therapy, into four distinct groups: those that received hormonal therapy (HT) only, hormonal therapy combined with chemotherapy (HT/CHT), hormonal therapy combined with chemo and biological therapy (HT/CHT/H), and other systemic therapies that exclude HT. Functional inactivation of TP53 and PTEN TSG’s were studied by mutation, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and hypermethylation analysis.   Results. Our results revealed that TP53 gene was altered in 63 out of 90 specimens (70%), while the frequency of PTEN alterations was slightly lower, 54 out of 90 (60%). Simultaneous inactivation was detected in 43 tested samples (48%) with significant association between two analyzed TSGs. Further, we found that TP53 status has significant influence on patients’ therapy response. Contrary to this, no significance was found between mutational status of PTEN and various treatment modalities. However, significant association was found between the type of applied therapy and simultaneous alterations of these two TSGs (p = 0.00001).   Conclusion. Patients with wtTP53 show significantly better therapy response regardless of the type of therapy, compared to carriers of altered TPp53 gene.

AB  - Background: ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are responsible for the efflux of a wide variety of anti-cancer agents and have been implicated in the chemoresistance of various solid tumors. Chemoresistance is a major cause of therapeutic failure, especially in the highly aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in which, unlike estrogen receptor-expressing (ER+) BC, both endocrine and targeted treatments are ineffectual. We aimed to investigate the level and frequency of expression of the three most important ABC transporter, ABCG2, ABCC1, and ABCB1, according to breast cancer subtype. Methods: We evaluated ABCG2, ABCC1, and ABCB1 protein expressions in 124 primary breast tumors (78 samples were classified as TNBC, while 46 were classified as ER+) by immunohistochemistry and correlated it to clinicopathological characteristics and outcome. Results: All three transporters had significantly higher expression and were more frequently expressed in TNBC compared to ER+ tumors (p < 0.0001). ABCG2 and ABCC1 had a very high level of expression in TNBC that was significantly greater compared to ABCB1 (p < 0.0001). ABCB1 expression was associated with TNBC metastatic spread (p = 0.03). In contrast, TNBC patients with high ABCG2 expression level had significantly longer disease-free interval (p = 0.03) and overall survival (p = 0.007). Conclusion: ABCG2, ABCC1, and ABCB1 expression in breast cancer is subtype-specific and associated with triple-negative tumors. The expression of ABCB1 may be useful as a marker of metastatic spread. Moreover, unexpectedly, our results showed a beneficial effect of ABCG2 expression on TNBC clinical behavior. These findings could have implications for the implementation of future TNBC treatment strategies.

AB  - Breast cancer is the most commonly occurring malignancy and the leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype and is associated with high recurrence rates, high incidence of distant metastases, and poor overall survival. The aim of this study was to investigate the PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR pathway as one of the most frequently deregulated pathways in cancer. We aimed to explore the impact of PI3K and mTOR oncogenes as well as the PTEN tumor suppressor on TNBC clinical behavior, prognosis, and multidrug resistance (MDR), using immunohistochemistry and copy number analysis by quantitative real-time PCR. Our results revealed that loss of PTEN and high expression of PI3K and mTOR proteins are associated with poor outcome of TNBC patients. PTEN deletions appeared as a major cause of reduced or absent PTEN expression in TNBC. Importantly, homozygous deletions of PTEN (and not hemizygous deletions) are a potential molecular marker of metastasis formation and good predictors of TNBC outcome. In conclusion, we believe that concurrent examination of PTEN/PI3K/mTOR protein expression may be more useful in predicting TNBC clinical course than the analysis of single protein expression. Specifically, our results showed that PTEN-reduced/PI3K-high/mTOR-high expression constitutes a 'high risk' profile of TNBC.

AB  - Breast cancer (BC) is a leading cause of death among women with malignant diseases. The selection of adequate therapies for highly invasive and metastatic BCs still represents a major challenge. Novel combinatorial therapeutic approaches are urgently required to enhance the efficiency of BC treatment. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) emerged as key regulators of the complex mechanisms that govern BC therapeutic resistance and susceptibility. In the present review we aim to critically examine how miRNAs influence BC response to therapies, or how to use miRNAs as a basis for new therapeutic approaches. We summarized recent findings in this rapidly evolving field, emphasizing the challenges still ahead for the successful implementation of miRNAs into BC treatment while providing insights for future BC management. The goal of this review was to propose miRNAs, that might simultaneously improve the efficacy of all four therapies that are the backbone of current BC management (radio-, chemo-, targeted, and hormone therapy). Among the fifty-nine described miRNAs, miR-21 and miR-16 emerged as the most promising, closely followed by miR-205, miR-451, miR-182, and miRNAs from the let-7 family. miR-21 inhibition might be the best choice for future improvement of invasive BC treatment. New therapeutic strategies of miRNA-based agents alongside current standard treatment modalities could greatly benefit BC patients. This review represents a guideline on how to navigate this elaborate puzzle. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC part of Springer Nature.

The selection of adequate therapies for highly invasive and metastatic BCs still represents a major challenge. Novel combinatorial therapeutic approaches are urgently required to enhance the efficiency of BC treatment.

AB  - © 2018 Milica Nedeljković et al., published by De Gruyter Open 2018. Background: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by aggressive clinical course and is unresponsive to anti-HER2 and endocrine therapy. TNBC is difficult to treat and is often lethal. Given the need to find new targets for therapy we explored clinicopathological significance of copy number gain of FGFR1 and c-MYC. Our aim was to determine the impact of FGFR1 and c-MYC copy number gain on clinical course and outcome of TNBC. Methods: FGFR1 and c-MYC gene copy number alterations were evaluated in 78 archive TNBC samples using TaqMan based quantitative real time PCR assays. Results: 50% of samples had increased c-MYC copy number. c-MYC copy number gain was associated with TNBC in contrast to ER positive cancers. Our results showed significant correlation between c-MYC copy number gain and high grade of TNBCs. This suggests that c-MYC copy number could be an useful prognostic marker for TNBC patients. c-MYC copy number gain was associated with high pTNM stage as well as lobular and medullary tumor subtypes. 43% of samples had increased FGFR1 copy number. No correlations between FGFR1 copy number gain and clinicopathological variables were observed. Conclusions: We identified c-MYC copy number gain as a prognostic marker for TNBC. Our results indicate that c- MYC may contribute to TNBC progression. We observed no significant association between c-MYC and/or FGFR1 copy number status and patient survival.

AB  - Background: Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women. It arises from multiple genetic changes in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Among so far studied oncogenes relatively few, including epdermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), cyclinD1 (CCND1) and c-myc, have been found to play an important role in progression of this type of human malignancy. The aim of this study was to examine the prognostic potential of CCND1, c-myc and EGFR amplification and their possible cooperation in breast carcinogenesis. Methods: Copy number analyses of CCND1 and c-myc genes were done by TaqMan based quantitative real time PCR. Amplification status of EGFR was determined by differential PCR. Results: Amplification of CCND1, c-myc and EGFR oncogene has been found in 20.4%, 26.5% and 26.5% of breast cancer cases, respectively. Analysis showed that amplification of CCND1 oncogene was significantly associated with the stage II of disease while amplification of EGFR gene was significantly associated with overexpression of HER-2/neu. Tumour stage and expression of HER-2/neu appeared to be significant predictors of patients outcome. Stage I patients lived significantly longer then stage III patients (p=0.04) while patients with HER-2/neu overexpression had worse prognoses and lived significantly shorter (p=0.001). Finally, survival of patients who underwent hormone therapy only was significantly longer (p=0.001) then survival of the rest of patients. Conclusions: Amplification of CCND1 or EGFR oncogene is associated with the progression of breast cancer and bad prognosis. No co-ordination in amplification of CCND1, c-myc and EGFR oncogenes were established in this cohort of breast cancer patients.
