BRCA1 expression

Immortalized ovarian cells derived from patients with germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations showed substantially higher MMP1 expression than normal ovarian cells. However, the findings need to be validated in the future.

Finally, CENPA and BRCA1 were identified as potential common targets for IHF and cancer. These findings provide new perspectives for expanding our understanding of the etiology and underlying mechanisms of HF and cancer.

BC patients with PVs in BRCA1/2 have higher RS results that stem from distinct gene expression profiles in the majority of genes in the 21-gene assay.

HPV infection appears to have the potential to enhance the aggressiveness of breast cancers, especially those deficient in BRCA1.

Furthermore, the downregulation of KLF5 expression promotes the DNA damage induced by olaparib and significantly reduces the IC 50 of the RARP inhibitor in pancreatic cancer cells...Our results indicate that inhibition of KLF5 may induce BRCAness in a larger pancreatic cancer subset with proficient BRCA. The combination of KLF5 inhibitors and PARP inhibitors provides a novel treatment strategy to enhance the sensitivity of BRCA1-proficient pancreatic cancer to PARP inhibitors.

Our study showed BRCA1 mutation in 32.1% and associated with postmenopausal age group, larger tumor size, and higher staging and negative hormonal status of breast carcinoma.

Breast cancers classified as basal-like by PAM50 comprise a histologically heterogeneous group of tumors. Tumors with infiltrating borders are much more likely to be associated with LVI and lymph node metastasis compared with pushing border tumors. Genes more highly expressed in tumors with infiltrative borders include a number of potential therapeutic targets, suggesting unique therapeutic strategies.

It promoted cell growth and DNA damage repair, and decreased gemcitabine sensitivity via positively regulating DDB1 expression. The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10616-023-00599-7.

Our findings evidenced that UCMSCs-CM could be considered as a potential therapeutic option to modulate Tamoxifen chemosensitivity by regulating BRCA1 in breast cancer.

Our results suggest RAD51, BRCA1, and BRCA2 methylation as a frequent epigenetic mechanism in gastric cancer, support the hypothesis that reduced BRCA1 expression participates in disease progression, and show an association between RAD51 mRNA and perineural invasion and mortality that may be considered unexpected, considering the former immunohistochemical studies. The lack of correlation between immunohistochemistry and mRNA, and even the inverse association, for ATR, can be seen as indicative of action of post-transcriptional or post-translational regulatory mechanisms, to be better investigated.

Our study is the first to provide evidence indicating that the presence of BRCA1 can serve as a reliable marker for both diagnosing and determining the prognosis of BRCA. Moreover, BRCA1 acts as a crucial indicator of the cancer's potential to infiltrate and invade the immune system, which has important implications for developing targeted therapies in BRCA.

Our longitudinal in vivo imaging analysis showed that knockdown of either BRCA1 or ELK-1 altered the fates of neural progenitor cells and furthermore that the effects of visual experience on neurogenesis depend on BRCA1 and ELK-1 expression. These studies provide insight into the potential mechanisms by which neural activity affects neural progenitor cell fate.

Similar results were obtained in ex vivo patient-derived primary breast cancer cells. Thus, the present study revealed that RES + OLA treatment inhibited PARP1 activity in the chromatin, and blocked TIP60-mediated chromatin relaxation, which, in turn, affected PARP1-dependent TIP60-BRCA1 association, resulting in deregulation of HR pathway in breast cancer cells.

Moreover, we did not detect an association between FTH1 expression and the amount of CD45+ (p = 0.13), CD8+ (p = 0.18), CD4+ (p = 0.20) or FOXP3+ cells (p = 0.17). Consequently, the mechanism underlying the worse recurrence-free survival of nFTH1 expression in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers needs further investigation.

In conclusion, our study reveals the unique genetic profile of HNSC in Pakistani patients, featuring unique pathogenic mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. These mutations offer promise as valuable diagnostic markers and potential therapeutic targets.

Downstream mechanistic studies showed that nuclear translocation of CTSB facilitates DNA damage and cell cycle arrest in RB cells by inhibiting breast cancer 1 protein (BRCA1) expression and also activates the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3/stimulator of interferon response cGAMP interactor 1 (STAT3/STING1) pathway to induce lysosomal stress, leading to ferroptosis and autophagy in Y79 cells and alleviating RB. Nuclear translocation of CTSB facilitates DNA damage and cell cycle arrest in RB cells by inhibiting BRCA1 expression and activating the STAT3/STING1 pathway and induces lysosomal stress, which eventually leads to ferroptosis and autophagy and mitigates RB.

Rather, high Lyn expression and slower tumour growth were likely a result of B-cell infiltration. The multifaceted role of LYN means it is likely to present difficulties as a therapeutic target in breast cancer.

In contrast, BRCA1 expression did not correlate with survival outcomes in squamous cell carcinoma patients. The overexpression of BRCA1 was an independent risk factor for LUAD and was indicative of an immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment.

Consequently, BA affects some of the DNA DSB repair genes of breast cancer stem cells. Findings from this study could provide new insights into the potential therapeutic application of BA in BC-SC elimination and cancer intervention.

Our findings show the utility of the BRCA1/ID4 ratio in predicting neoadjuvant therapy response, which needs further evaluation in larger cohorts with long-term outcomes.

In this study, we designed and synthesized the first dual PARP-1 and proteasome inhibitor based on Olaparib and Ixazomib. Additionally, 42i induced more significant apoptosis and showed better inhibitory effect on cell proliferation in clonal formation experiments in breast cancer cells than 42d. In summary, our study presented a new class of dual PARP-1/proteasome inhibitors with significant synergistic effects for the treatment of breast cancer.

Immunotherapy, while not yet a mainstream treatment for gynecologic cancers, is advancing, with Dostarlimab recently receiving approval as a treatment for endometrial cancer...To explore the relationship between distant tissue biopsy regions and blood circulation, we investigated the TCR beta chain (TCRβ) in bulk tumor and matched blood samples from 39 patients with gynecologic cancer. We found that the TCR clones of TILs at different tumor sites were globally shared within patients and had high overlap with the TCR clones in peripheral blood.

Bisulfite-seq revealed a significant hypomethylation within promoter regions of mutated BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in ovarian cancer samples, compared to non-mutated cases with pathogenic mutations, indicating the role of epigenetics in expression dysregulation as well. By uncovering clinically significant pathogenic mutations in BRCA1/2 genes and establishing their link with up-regulated gene expression, this study significantly advances our understanding of ovarian cancer's underlying causes in the Pakistani population.

Our work dispels prevailing ambiguities surrounding BRCA1-BARD1 E3 ligase functions, underscoring its paramountcy in genome repair. This trailblazing research not only enriches our understanding but also beckons therapeutic interventions targeting tumor suppression. The unveiling of BRCA1-BARD1 E3 ligase's intricate regulatory dynamics combined with our novel mutants paves the way for an exciting new era in cancer therapeutics, hinting at superior treatments to enhance patient recovery.

In all cases, the associated DCIS shows the same pattern of expression as the invasive carcinoma, suggesting that overexpression occurs early in tumorigenesis, while tumor cells are still confined within the ducts. The high rate of overexpression of EZH2 in BRCA1- and BRCA2-associated tumors suggests a potential role for EZH2 as a target and/or a biomarker in these cancers.

Contrary to our initial hypothesis, we did not find any significant association between BRCA1 gene expression and survival outcomes in breast cancer patients. Based on the results of our study, we speculate that the interplay between enhanced cancer cell proliferation and aggressive tumor characteristics may counterbalance the effect of high BRCA1 expression in breast cancer.

These data demonstrate a novel use of the RXR agonist, IRX4204, to delay the formation of Brca1-deficient mammary tumors. We have found that IRX4204 treatment modulates the tumor immune response through increased infiltration of cytotoxic CD8-positive T-cells in Brca1-deficient mammary tumors in vivo. We have also determined that IRX4204 modulates lipid metabolism in breast cancer cell lines in vitro.

Finally, high expression of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in the host cells, at remission, is strongly correlated with a higher risk of relapse. Although this study has been performed with an adequate number of children with B-ALL, it is mandatory to perform a prospective project with a larger population.

Positive BRCA1 expression had proven to be associated with advanced stage & grade of tumors, as well as worsened prognostic survival parameters (metastasis, recurrence, residual disease, and mortality) in patients with ovarian serous carcinoma.

Furthermore, we demonstrate that BRCA1-BARD1 ligase is not only required for DNA resection during homology-directed repair (HDR) but also contributes to later stages for HDR completion. Altogether, our findings reveal crucial, previously unrecognized roles of BRCA1-BARD1 ligase activity in genome repair via HDR, settle prior controversies regarding BRCA1-BARD1 ligase functions, and catalyze new efforts to uncover substrates related to tumor suppression.

Both BRCA1-defective groups showed a slightly activated immune response mediated by interferon (IFN) gamma pathways. In conclusion, even if the expression profile of many genes related to DNA damage and repair system is shared between BRCA1 and BRCA1 EOCs supporting that BRCA1 EOCs may benefit from PARPi therapies, our data demonstrate that BRCA1 and BRCA1 EOCs show different expression profiles, suggesting a different mechanism of carcinogenesis that can be reflected in different responses to therapies and disease recovery.

Markers of DNA damage, cell cycle arrest, senescence and fibrosis were evaluated by immunofluorescence staining and western blot analysis of tissue sections and patient-derived PTCs subjected to AA or cisplatin... BRCA1 induces fibrosis after tubular injury. Loss of BRCA1 from PTs reduces G2/M cell cycle arrest, cellular senescence, and secretion of profibrotic mediators in vivo and in vitro. Thus, transient inhibition of BRCA1 can be beneficial for preventing AKI-CKD transition.

Evaluating HER2 expression by mRNA may identify HER2-low breast cancers that cannot be identified at the protein level in IHC, which may allow for more patients with TNBC to receive effective anti-HER2 drugs. However, further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

HMTV might contribute to the development of subsets of benign and malignant breast tumors. The observed rates of defective or mutated BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in healthy tissues indicate a role in the development of breast tumors.

RUNX1 regulates DNA damage repair system and has inhibitory effect on tumor immunity. Inhibiting the expression of RUNX1 in lung adenocarcinoma cells can enhance the effect of radioimmunotherapy.

The results manifested that the βG is a strong inducer of the BRCA1 protein expression in the LPSinduced hepatic stress and the protein constitutes the key component of a βG mediated liver protection against an LPS-induced genotoxic and pathological damage.

These results support the hypothesis that loss of KMT2C function decreases the expression of the HRR factors in H-FLACs. H-FLACs with low KMT2C expression may be a good indication for poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor-based therapy.

We show that FBL promotes the expression of BRCA1 by increasing the binding of YBX1 to the BRCA1 promoter. Our study sheds light on the regulatory mechanism of FBL in tumorigenesis and DNA damage response, providing potential therapeutic targets to overcome chemoresistance in cancer.

Thus, for the first time, this study proves that βhCG suppresses the host antitumor immune response and contributes to tumour progression in BRCA1 deficient tumours. This study will help develop new immunotherapeutic approaches for treating BRCA1 defective TNBC by regulating βhCG.

HUWE1 catalytic domain mutations were also seen in a case of PARPi resistant, BRCA1 exon 11 mutant, high grade serous ovarian cancer. These results suggest how elevated levels of BRCA1-∆11q and PARPi resistance can be achieved, identify HUWE1 as a candidate biomarker of PARPi resistance for assessment in future clinical trials and illustrate how some PARPi resistance mechanisms may only operate in patients with particular BRCA1 mutations.

Thus, NORE1A forms a tumor suppressor complex with BRCA1. Its frequent epigenetic inactivation may facilitate the transformation of Her2+/BRCA1- mediated breast cancer by suppressing senescence.
