Molecular Characterization of Basal-Like and Non-Basal-Like Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
TLDR
The results suggest that future clinical trials focused on TN disease should consider stratifying patients based upon BL versus non-BL gene expression profiles, which appears to be the main biological difference seen in patients with TN breast cancer.Abstract:
Triple-negative (TN) and basal-like (BL) breast cancer definitions have been used interchangeably to identify breast cancers that lack expression of the hormone receptors and overexpression and/or amplification of HER2. However, both classifications show substantial discordance rates when compared to each other. Here, we molecularly characterize TN tumors and BL tumors, comparing and contrasting the results in terms of common patterns and distinct patterns for each. In total, when testing 412 TN and 473 BL tumors, 21.4% and 31.5% were identified as non-BL and non-TN, respectively. TN tumors identified as luminal or HER2-enriched (HER2E) showed undistinguishable overall gene expression profiles when compared versus luminal or HER2E tumors that were not TN. Similar findings were observed within BL tumors regardless of their TN status, which suggests that molecular subtype is preserved regardless of individual marker results. Interestingly, most TN tumors identified as HER2E showed low HER2 expression and lacked HER2 amplification, despite the similar overall gene expression profiles to HER2E tumors that were clinically HER2-positive. Lastly, additional genomic classifications were examined within TN and BL cancers, most of which were highly concordant with tumor intrinsic subtype. These results suggest that future clinical trials focused on TN disease should consider stratifying patients based upon BL versus non-BL gene expression profiles, which appears to be the main biological difference seen in patients with TN breast cancer.read more

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time, that breast cancer subtypes are sensitive to either Lapatinib or Midostaurin, and a novel robust gene list (CNCL) is found that can identify both stemness and the EMT state of cell lines and tumors.

TL;DR: This study assessed the capacity of recently identified immunohistochemical markers of basal‐like subtype not dependent upon ER status – positive expression of nestin or loss of inositol polyphosphate‐4‐phosphatase (INPP4b) – to discriminate intrinsic subtypes, focusing on clinically problematic cases with weak ER positivity.

Molecular heterogeneity in adjacent cells in triple-negative breast cancer

TL;DR: There is a very significant molecular heterogeneity when “adjacent cells” are examined in triple-negative breast cancer, thereby making a successful targeted approach unlikely and it is not reasonable to consider that these changes will provide an answer to tumor dormancy.

Cluster analysis and display of genome-wide expression patterns
TL;DR: A system of cluster analysis for genome-wide expression data from DNA microarray hybridization is described that uses standard statistical algorithms to arrange genes according to similarity in pattern of gene expression, finding in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that clustering gene expression data groups together efficiently genes of known similar function.
