    Abstract Several studies have shown that female reproductive factors are associated with breast cancer (BC), but the results differ. We conducted two-sample MR in the present work. The raw data applied in the MR study were all from the Genome-wide association study (GWAS) database. The causal effect of reproductive factors on breast cancer were mainly estimated by the standard inverse variance weighted (IVW) method. Cochran’s Q test and I 2 statistics were used to assess heterogeneity. The pleiotropy was evaluated by MR-Egger intercept test and MR-PRESSO. Finally, the leave-one-out analysis was performed to evaluate the robustness of the MR results. We found that there was a negative causal effect of the age at last live birth on BC (OR = 0.687, 95%CI = 0.539–0.875, p = 0.002) and positive effect of the age at menopause on BC (OR = 1.054, 95%CI = 1.034–1.075, p = 8.010 × 10 −8 ). Additionally, there were null effects of the age at menarche (OR = 0.977, 95%CI = 0.915–1.043, p = 0.484), the age at first sexual intercourse (OR = 1.053, 95%CI = 0.958–1.157, p = 0.284) and the age at first birth (OR = 0.981, 95%CI = 0.936–1.027, p = 0.404) on BC. All these results were reliable and stable. In conclusion, the present study showed that younger age at last birth and older age at menopause could increase the risk of BC.

    Abstract Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor with a poor prognosis. Current treatment options are limited and often ineffective. CAR T cell therapy has shown success in treating hematologic malignancies, and there is growing interest in its potential application in solid tumors, including GBM. However, current CAR T therapy lacks clinical efficacy against GBM due to tumor-related resistance mechanisms and CAR T cell deficiencies. Therefore, there is a need to improve CAR T cell therapy efficacy in GBM.
    Methods: We conducted large-scale CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) screens in GBM cell line U87 MG cells co-cultured with B7-H3 targeting CAR T cells to identify genetic modifiers that can enhance CAR T cell-mediated tumor killing. Flow cytometry-based tumor killing assay and CAR T cell activation assay were performed to validate screening hits. Bioinformatic analyses on bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data and the TCGA database were employed to elucidate the mechanism underlying enhanced CAR T efficacy upon knocking down the selected screening hits in U87 MG cells.
    Results: We established B7-H3 as a targetable antigen for CAR T therapy in GBM. Through large-scale CRISPRi screening, we discovered genetic modifiers in GBM cells, including ARPC4, PI4KA, ATP6V1A, UBA1, and NDUFV1, that regulated the efficacy of CAR T cell-mediated tumor killing. Furthermore, we discovered that TNFSF15 was upregulated in both ARPC4 and NDUFV1 knockdown GBM cells and revealed an immunostimulatory role of TNFSF15 in modulating tumor-CAR T interaction to enhance CAR T cell efficacy.
    Conclusions: Our study highlights the power of CRISPR-based genetic screening in investigating tumor-CAR T interaction and identifies potential druggable targets in tumor cells that confer resistance to CAR T cell killing. Furthermore, we devised targeted strategies that synergize with CAR T therapy against GBM. These findings shed light on the development of novel combinatorial strategies for effective immunotherapy of GBM and other solid tumors.

    Abstract Purpose: Multiple studies on PIK3CA mutations in breast cancer (BC) had been performed, which showed the controversial results among different countries and races even those from the same country. The present study aimed to explore the PIK3CA gene mutation status in BC patients in Northwest China and reveal the relationship between PIK3CA mutations and clinicopathological features along with prognosis.
    Materials and methods: 1002 BC patients from Northwest China were recruited in this study, genomic DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissues, and hotspot mutations in the exon 9 and 20 of PIK3CA gene were detected by ARMS-PCR.
    Results: PIK3CA mutations were found in 31.2% (313/1002) of BC patients, among them 66.1% were mutations in exon 20% and 32.6% were mutations in exon 9. H1047R was the most common mutation type, accounting for 56.5% of the total mutated samples. Significant correlations were observed between PIK3CA mutation status and age (P = 0.035), histopathologic types (P = 0.004), pathological grade (P = 0.013), ER positivity (P < 0.001), PR positivity (P < 0.001), molecular subtypes (P = 0.004) and family history (P = 0.007). Cox multivariate analysis showed that patients with mutations in exon 9 or 20 had shorter DFS and OS than wild-type patients. Those with exon 9 mutations subgroup had the worst prognosis. Interestingly, patients with H1047L mutation had the best prognosis than others.
    Conclusion: PIK3CA mutations could be used as an indicator of clinical outcome or targeted therapy for multiple breast cancer subgroups in Northwest China.

    Abstract Background: Several observational studies have explored the associations between Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and certain cancers. Nevertheless, the causal relationships remain unclear. Mendelian randomization (MR) method was used to investigate the causality between SS and different types of cancers.
    Methods: We conducted the two-sample Mendelian randomization with the public genome-wide association studies (GWASs) summary statistics in European population to evaluate the causality between SS and nine types of cancers. The sample size varies from 1080 to 372,373. The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was used to estimate the causal effects. A Bonferroni-corrected threshold of P < 0.0031 was considered significant, and P value between 0.0031 and 0.05 was considered to be suggestive of an association. Sensitivity analysis was performed to validate the causality. Moreover, additional analysis was used to assess the associations between SS and well-accepted risk factors of cancers.
    Results: After correcting the heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy, the results indicated that patients with SS were significantly associated with an increased risk of lymphomas (odds ratio [OR] = 1.0010, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.0005-1.0015, P = 0.0002) and reduced risks of prostate cancer (OR = 0.9972, 95% CI: 0.9960-0.9985, P = 2.45 × 10
    Conclusions: SS had significant causal relationships with lymphomas, prostate cancer, and endometrial cancer, and suggestive evidence of association was found in liver and bile duct cancer and cancer of urinary tract, indicating that SS may play a vital role in the incidence of these malignancies.

    Abstract Background: Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) phenotype will sensitize tumors to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases inhibitors and platinum. However, previous studies did not focus on the prevalence of HRD among Chinese breast cancer (BC) patients.
    Methods: One hundred and forty-seven BC patients were included in this study. Their HRD status was assessed by Genomic Scar Score (GSS), which was determined according to the length, site, and type of copy number. HRD was defined as positive when a harmful BRCA1/2 mutation was detected or GSS ≥50.
    Results: Our data revealed that 9.5% of the 147 patients tested positive for BRCA1/2 mutation, while approximately 34.7% were HRD-positive. For triple negative BC (TNBC), HRD positivity rate (60.5%) was higher than Luminal A (5.3%), Luminal B (HER2-) (28.8%), and Luminal B (HER2+) (31.6%) subgroups. HRD-positive tumors were more likely to be ER/PR-negative and exhibited higher Ki-67 expression. 50.0% of the HRD-positive patients achieved pathologic complete remission (pCR) after neoadjuvant therapy. HRD-positive patients tended to have a higher risk for cancer recurrence or metastasis compared to HRD-negative patients (29.4% vs. 13.5%).
    Conclusion: We investigated the HRD status among Chinese BC patients using an HRD detection tool developed based on the Chinese population. The clinical characteristics, pathological profile, family history pattern, neoadjuvant efficacy, and disease progression events of HRD-positive and negative patients were described and compared. Thus, our data provided an evidence-based basis for applying the original HRD assay in Chinese BC.

    Abstract Background:BRCA1/2 mutations are closely related to high lifetime risk of breast cancer (BC). The objective of this study was to identify the genes, regulators, and immune-associated patterns underlying disease pathology in BC with BRCA1/2 somatic mutations and their associations with clinical traits.Methods: RNA sequencing data and clinical information from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA; N = 36 BRCA1-mutant BC; N = 49 BRCA2-mutant BC; and N = 117 BRCA1/2-wild-type BC samples) were used for discovery, which included consensus network analysis, function enrichment, and analysis of hub genes; other TCGA data (N = 117 triple-negative BC) and two Gene Expression Omnibus database expression profiles were used as validation cohorts.Results: Consensus network analysis helped to identify specific co-expressed modules that showed positive correlations with tumor stage, number of positive lymph nodes, and margin status in BRCA1/2-mutant BC but lacking correlations in BRCA1/2-wild-type BC. Functional enrichment suggested potential mechanisms in BRCA1/2 carriers that could regulate the cell cycle, immune response, cellular metabolic processes, and cell migration, via enriched pathways including p53 and JAK–STAT signaling. Consensus network analysis identified the specific and common carcinogenic mechanisms involving BRCA mutations. Regulators cross-linking these modules include E2F or IRF transcription factor family, associated with cell cycle or immune response regulation module, respectively. Eight hub genes, including ISG15, BUB1, and TTK, were upregulated in several BRCA1/2-mutant BC datasets and showed prognostic value in BC. Furthermore, their genetic expression was related to higher levels of immune infiltration in BRCA1/2-mutant BC, which manifested as recruitment of T helper cells (Th1 cells), follicular helper T cells, and regulatory T cells, and T cell exhaustion. Moreover, important indicators for evaluation of BC immunotherapy, tumor mutational burden and neoantigen load also positively correlated with ...

    Abstract Purpose: Baicalein, a widely used Chinese herbal medicine, has shown anticancer effects on many types of human cancer cell lines. However, little is known about the underlying mechanism in human breast cancer cells. In this study, we examined the apoptotic and autophagic pathways activated following baicalein treatment in human breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.
    Materials and methods: In in vitro study, we used MTT and clone formation assay to confirm the inhibitory role of baicalein on proliferation of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Apoptosis was detected employing Hoechst 33258 staining, JC-1 staining, and flow cytometry. Autophagy was monitored by acridine orange staining and transmission electron microscopy observation. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot analysis were employed to study the effects of baicalein on PI3K/AKT signaling components of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. In in vivo study, the effect of baicalein was tested with a breast cancer cells transplantation tumor model.
    Results: Our study showed that baicalein has the potential to suppress cell proliferation, induce apoptosis and autophagy of breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, baicalein significantly downregulated the expression of p-AKT, p-mTOR, NF-κB, and p-IκB while enhancing the expression of IκB in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. It also decreased the p-AKT/AKT and p-mTOR/mTOR ratios.
    Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that baicalein induces apoptosis and autophagy of breast cancer cells via inhibiting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in vivo and vitro. Our study revealed that baicalein may be a potential therapeutic agent for breast cancer.

    Abstract Having the excellent catalytic performance, single atom catalysts (SACs) arouse extensive research interest. However, the application of SACs is hindered by the lack of versatile and scalable preparation approaches. Here, we show a precursor-atomization strategy to produce SACs, involving the spray of droplets of solutions containing metal precursors onto support surface through ultrasonic atomization and the subsequent calcination. This approach is versatile to successful synthesis of a series of catalysts, including 19 SACs with different metal sites and supports and 3 derivatives of SACs (single atom alloys, double atom catalysts and bi-metallic SACs). Furthermore, it can be scaled up by a homemade production line with productivity over 1 kg day

    Abstract Leptin is a confirmed breast cancer susceptibility gene. However, published studies reported mixed results. This meta-analysis was conducted to systematically get a more accurate estimation of the association between the Leptin (-2548G/A) gene polymorphism and breast cancer risk. To assess the effect of Leptin (-2548G/A) gene polymorphism on breast cancer susceptibility, we searched PUBMED, ISI Web of Knowledge, EMBASE, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases until September 2015 to identify eligible studies, without restriction. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the susceptibility to breast cancer. Separate analyses were conducted on features of the population such as ethnicity, source of controls, and country. A total of 9 case-control studies on Leptin (-2548G/A) gene polymorphism and breast cancer risk, including 3725 cases and 3093 case-free controls were identified. The results revealed that compared with the G allele, the A allele was associated with modestly increased risk of overall breast cancer (A vs G: OR = 1.12, 95%CI = 1.04-1.20, P = 0.002, Phet P < 0.00001). Following further stratified analyses, in the subgroup analyses by ethnicity, a significantly increased risk was observed among Caucasian (A vs G: OR = 1.11, 95%CI = 1.03-1.20, P = 0.006, Phet = 0.00001). No publication bias was found in the present study. In conclusion, our meta-analysis suggests that the Leptin (-2548G/A) gene polymorphism plays an important role in breast cancer susceptibility, especially in Caucasian.
