Targeted and cytotoxic inhibitors used in the treatment of breast cancer. (PubMed, Pharmacol Res)
Hormonal or endocrine therapy includes selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) such as raloxifene, tamoxifen and toremifene, selective estrogen-receptor degraders (SERDs) including elacestrant and fulvestrant, and aromatase inhibitors such as anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane...These agents include taxanes (docetaxel, nab-paclitaxel, and paclitaxel), anthracyclines (doxorubicin, epirubicin), anti-metabolites (capecitabine, gemcitabine, fluorouracil, methotrexate), alkylating agents (carboplatin, cisplatin, and cyclophosphamide), and drugs that target microtubules (eribulin, ixabepilone, ado-trastuzumab emtansine). Patients with ER-positive tumors are treated with 5-10 years of endocrine therapy and chemotherapy. For patients with metastatic breast cancer, standard first-line and follow-up therapy options include targeted approaches such as CDK4/6 inhibitors, PI3K inhibitors, PARP inhibitors, and anti-PDL1 immunotherapy, depending on the tumor type and molecular profile.

Pharmacologic Induction of ERα SUMOylation Disrupts Its Chromatin Binding. (PubMed, ACS Chem Biol)
In this study, we employed formaldehyde cross-linking followed by ERα immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry to reveal that fulvestrant, the first FDA-approved SERD, induces the interaction between ERα and SUMO E3 ligases PIAS1 and PIAS2. In addition, raloxifene (a SERM) and elacestrant (the first FDA-approved oral SERD) were identified as compounds that similarly induce ERα SUMOylation and inhibit its chromatin interaction. Our findings reveal a mechanism by which select ERα inhibitors disrupt ERα function through SUMOylation, offering insights for the development of next-generation ERα-targeted therapies.

Current status and challenges of breast cancer prevention~DNA methylation would lead to groundbreaking progress in breast cancer prevention~. (PubMed, Genes Environ)
As a result, the establishment of breast cancer prevention methods has become a health priority for high-risk individuals.Drugs such as tamoxifen and raloxifene are known to prevent the development of breast cancer, based on the results of multiple randomized controlled trials, but there are concerns regarding the side effects of these powerful agents. In other words, although many researchers have focused on chemoprevention and surgical prevention and clear preventive effects of these strategies have been confirmed, it cannot be said that they are widely accepted. Therefore, the current evidence for chemoprevention and surgical prevention, as well as highlights of several interesting lines of research currently underway, are summarized in this article.

An Emerging Class of ER mutations Enhances ER Dimerization and Promotes ER Activity (SABCS 2023)
Unlike Y537S, cells harboring mutations at the dimer interface maintain their sensitivity to Selective Estrogen Receptor Degraders (SERDs), including Fulvestrant, recently FDA-approved Elacestrant, and Camizestrant, as well as Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) including Tamoxifen and Raloxifene. Collectively, our finding unveiled a new class of ER mutations that enforce receptor dimerization and activation of the ER signaling pathway. The discovery opens up a new therapeutic interventional possibility, suggesting that targeting dimerization could emerge as a new strategy to combat these malignancies.

Molecular Investigation of the Antitumor Effects of Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors in Breast Cancer Cells. (PubMed, Biomed Res Int)
In breast cancer cells, the combination of anticancer drugs (doxorubicin or raloxifene) with MAO-AIs resulted in a synergistic effect. Finally, the MAO-AIs suppressed MAO-A, Bcl-2, and VEGF gene expressions in breast cancer cells relative to untreated cells. This study provides solid evidence supporting the anticancer effect of MAO-A inhibitors in breast cancer cells.

The role of PKN1 in glioma pathogenesis and the antiglioma effect of raloxifene targeting PKN1. (PubMed, J Cell Mol Med)
We showed that Ralo effectively targets PKN1, inhibits GBM cells proliferation and migration and sensitizes GBM cells to the major chemotherapeutic drug, Temozolomide. Ralo also reverses the effect of PKN1 on YAP activation. Thus, we confirm that PKN1 contributes to the pathogenesis of gliomas and may be a potential target for Ralo adjuvant glioma therapy.

Chemoprevention and Lifestyle Modifications for Risk Reduction in Sporadic and Hereditary Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Healthcare (Basel))
Chemoprevention with tamoxifen, raloxifene, anastrozole, and exemestane has already shown benefits in decreasing breast cancer incidence in women at an increased risk for breast cancer. Lifestyle modifications can reduce breast cancer incidence, and the recommendations for BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 P/LP germline variant carriers are comparable to the general population. This review summarizes the most recent evidence regarding the efficacy of chemoprevention and lifestyle interventions in women with sporadic and hereditary breast cancer.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for the Treatment of Endocrine Therapy-Induced Alopecia (EIA) and Permanent Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia (pCIA) in Breast Cancer Patients (WCD 2023)
The breakdown of endocrine induced alopecia was: Selective estrogen receptor modulator (tamoxifen, raloxifene) 6 (33.3%) Aromatase inhibitor (anastrozole, exemestane, letrozole) 5 (27.8%) The breakdown of chemotherapy induced alopecia includes: AC-T 4 (22.2%); dd-ACT 1 (5.6%); AC-THP 1 (5.6%); TCHP 1 (5.6%) See charts below for results. This is the first study showing the safe and effective use of PRP for hair regrowth in chemotherapy induced and endocrine induced alopecia in breast cancer patients. We see diffusion of treatment effect when one side of the scalp is treated which is in line with studies of PRP for androgenetic alopecia. Further studies are needed to elucidate the use of PRP in combination with medical therapies

Endocrine Therapy for Primary and Secondary Prevention After Diagnosis of High-Risk Breast Lesions or Preinvasive Breast Cancer. (PubMed, J Clin Oncol)
For patients with HRLs, available chemoprevention regimens differ by menopausal status, including tamoxifen 20 mg once daily for 5 years and more recently tamoxifen 5 mg once daily for 3 years in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women as well as raloxifene or aromatase inhibitors for postmenopausal women. For DCIS, the benefit of endocrine therapy in addition to radiation is small, and appears to be driven mainly by a reduction in contralateral breast diagnoses or new breast cancers. A strategy that reduces the side-effect profile of chemoprevention such as low-dose tamoxifen may be especially appealing in the setting of secondary prevention.

Computational approach in searching for dual action multitarget inhibitors for osteosarcoma. (PubMed, J Adv Pharm Technol Res)
The ligands used were raloxifene, simvastatin, dexamethasone, risedronate, ibandronate, zoledronic acid, ascorbic acid, alendronate, and β-glycerophosphate, whereas the target proteins used were RET, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1, KIT, PDGFRA, VEGFR1, and VEGFR2. Most types of interactions were hydrophobically followed by hydrogen bonding. The current study suggests that raloxifene, simvastatin, and dexamethasone have the potential to act as multitarget inhibitors for osteosarcoma with the ability to induce bone remodeling.

SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulator), acting as estrogen receptor β agonists in hepatocellular carcinoma cells, inhibit the transforming growth factor-α-induced migration via specific inhibition of AKT signaling pathway. (PubMed, PLoS One)
In the present study, we investigated whether SERM such as tamoxifen, raloxifene and bazedoxifene, affects the HCC cell migration using human HCC-derived HuH7 cells. Furthermore, PHTPP, an ERβ antagonist, significantly reversed the suppression by both raloxifene and bazedoxifene of the TGF-α-induced cell migration. Taken together, our results strongly indicate that raloxifene and bazedoxifene, SERMs, suppress the TGF-α-induced migration of HCC cells through ERβ-mediated inhibition of the AKT signaling pathway.
