Targeting BIG3–PHB2 interaction to overcome tamoxifen resistance in breast cancer cells

TLDR
A cell-permeable peptide inhibitor, called ERAP, that regulates multiple ERα-signalling pathways associated with tamoxifen resistance in breast cancer cells by inhibiting the interaction between BIG3 and PHB2 is reported.
Abstract
Oestrogen receptor-α (ERα) signalling has a role in breast cancer drug resistance. Here, the authors report a synthetic peptide that disrupts the interaction between the signalling molecules BIG3 and PHB2, and thereby suppresses tamoxifen resistance.

Prohibitin 2: At a communications crossroads

TL;DR: This review focuses on PHB2 and new data concerning its cellular functions both in complex with PHB1 and independent ofPHB1, placing these proteins among the key regulators of pathologies such as cancer, neuromuscular degeneration, and other metabolic diseases.

Nuclear receptor crosstalk - defining the mechanisms for therapeutic innovation

TL;DR: Broad mechanistic insights into the contribution of atypical nuclear receptor heterodimers to unique gene-modulatory events are lacking and various mechanistic crosstalk modes are presented with examples that support applicability of theAtypical heterodimer concept.

Network analysis and in silico prediction of protein–protein interactions with applications in drug discovery

TL;DR: How PPI networks (PPINs) inferred from experimentally characterized PPI data have been utilized for knowledge discovery and how in silico approaches to PPI characterization can contribute to PPIN-based biological research are discussed.

Xanthohumol suppresses oestrogen-signalling in breast cancer through the inhibition of BIG3-PHB2 interactions

TL;DR: XN treatment effectively prevented the BIG3-PHB2 interaction, thereby releasing PHB2 to directly bind to both nuclear- and cytoplasmic ERα, leading to the complete suppression of the E2-signalling pathways and ERα-positive breast cancer cell growth both in vitro and in vivo.

Tamoxifen for Prevention of Breast Cancer: Report of the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project P-1 Study

TL;DR: Tamoxifen decreases the incidence of invasive and noninvasive breast cancer and its use as a breast cancer preventive agent is appropriate in many women at increased risk for the disease.

In vivo activation of the p53 pathway by small-molecule antagonists of MDM2.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify potent and selective small-molecule antagonists of MDM2 and confirm their mode of action through the crystal structures of complexes, leading to cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and growth inhibition of human tumor xenografts.
