Unravelling transcriptomic complexity in breast cancer through modulation of DARPP-32 expression and signalling pathways (2023)
Journal Article

DARPP-32 is a key regulator of protein-phosphatase-1 (PP-1) and protein kinase A (PKA), with its function dependent upon its phosphorylation state. We previously identified DKK1 and GRB7 as genes with linked expression using Artificial Neural Network...

The expression of high mobility group protein 3 (HMGB3) in breast cancer with emphasis on its role in lymphovascular invasion (2023)
Journal Article

Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is a common phenomenon in breast cancer (BC), and it is correlated to poor outcome. However, the biomarkers that influence the development of LVI remain to be defined. Through rigorous bioinformatics analyses, high mobil... Read More about The expression of high mobility group protein 3 (HMGB3) in breast cancer with emphasis on its role in lymphovascular invasion.

Differential response of HER2-positive breast cancer to anti-HER2 therapy based on HER2 protein expression level (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Increasing data indicate that HER2-positive (HER2 +) breast cancer (BC) subtypes exhibit differential responses to targeted anti-HER2 therapy. This study aims to investigate these differences and the potential underlying molecular mechani... Read More about Differential response of HER2-positive breast cancer to anti-HER2 therapy based on HER2 protein expression level.

Obesity-associated changes in molecular biology of primary breast cancer (2023)
Journal Article

Obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer (BC) and worse prognosis in BC patients, yet its impact on BC biology remains understudied in humans. This study investigates how the biology of untreated primary BC differs acc... Read More about Obesity-associated changes in molecular biology of primary breast cancer.

The clinical and biological significance of estrogen receptor-low positive breast cancer (2023)
Journal Article

Estrogen Receptor (ER) status in breast cancer (BC) is determined using immunohistochemistry (IHC) with nuclear expression in ≥1% of cells defined as ER-positive. BC with 1-9% expression (ER-low positive), is a clinically and biologically unique subg... Read More about The clinical and biological significance of estrogen receptor-low positive breast cancer.

Encapsulated papillary carcinoma of the breast: does it have a native basement membrane? (2023)
Journal Article

Background Encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) is surrounded by a thick fibrous capsule-like structure, which is interpreted as a thickened basement membrane (BM). This study aimed to describe the geometric characteristics of the EPC capsule and... Read More about Encapsulated papillary carcinoma of the breast: does it have a native basement membrane?.

Characteristics and prognostic significance of polo-like kinase-1 (PLK1) expression in breast cancer (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Polo-like kinase-1 (PLK1) plays a crucial role in cell cycle progression,and it is considered a potential therapeutic target in many cancers. Although the role of PLK1 is well established in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) as an onco...

High Inner Centromere Protein Expression Correlates with Aggressive Features and Predicts Poor Prognosis in Patients with Invasive Breast Cancer (2023)
Journal Article

Introduction: Inner centromere protein (INCENP) is a member of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) and plays a key role in mitosis and cell proliferation. This study aims to evaluate the clinical and prognostic significance of INCENP in invasive...

A retrospective analysis of ezrin protein and mRNA expression in breast cancer: Ezrin expression is associated with patient survival and survival of patients with receptor-positive disease (2023)
Journal Article

Introduction: The cytoskeletal protein ezrin is upregulated in many cancer types and is strongly associated with poor patient outcome. While the clinical and prognostic value of ezrin has been previously evaluated in breast cancer, most studies to da...

RANK is a poor prognosis marker and a therapeutic target in ER-negative postmenopausal breast cancer (2023)
Journal Article

Despite strong preclinical data, the therapeutic benefit of the RANKL inhibitor, denosumab, in breast cancer patients, beyond the bone, is unclear. Aiming to select patients who may benefit from denosumab, we hereby analyzed RANK and RANKL protein ex...
