    Abstract Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes have been shown to be essential for DNA repair pathways, including homologous recombination repair (HRR). Cancers with HRR defects (e.g., BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations) are targets for PARP inhibitors (PARPis) based on the exploitation of "synthetic lethality". As a result, PARPis offer a promising treatment option for advanced ovarian and breast cancers with deficiencies in HRR. However, acquired resistance to PARPis has been reported for most tumors, and not all patients with BRCA1/2 mutations respond to PARPis. Therefore, the formulation of effective treatment strategies to overcome resistance to PARPis is urgently necessary. This review summarizes the molecular mechanism of therapeutic action and resistance to PARPis, in addition to emerging combination treatment options involving PARPis.

    Abstract Chemoresistance and inefficient therapeutic efficacies in triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) are among the major clinical problems in breast cancers. A potential new method to sensitize these tumors to current treatment options is, therefore, urgent and necessary. Our previous studies demonstrated that miR-489 serves as one of the top tumor-suppressing miRs and features downregulated expression in metastatic TNBCs and that the restoration of miR-489 expression in TNBCs effectively inhibits the metastatic potentials of TNBCs both in vitro and in vivo. The chemical modification of miR-489 (CMM489) through the replacement of uracil with 5-FU further enhances the therapeutic potential of miR-489. In the present study, we tested the effects of CMM489 in synergizing DNA damage response (DDR) inhibitors such as PARP inhibitors. CMM489 is particularly effective in sensitizing TNBC cell lines with inherent resistance to PARP inhibitors regardless of BRCA mutation status. One of the anti-cancer mechanisms through which CMM489 synergizes with PARP inhibitors is the blockade of homologous recombination (HR) in TNBC cells upon DNA damage. The results of this study highlight the potential use of CMM489 in combination treatments with PARP inhibitors in TNBCs.

    Abstract Despite the established role of integrin β4 (ITG β4) in breast cancer progression, the importance of endocytic recycling of ITG β4 and its regulatory mechanism are poorly understood. Here, we found that a sub-population of ITG β4 is sorted into early endosomes, recycled back to the plasma membrane, and secreted in the form of extracellular vesicles (EVs) upon EGF treatment in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells.

    Abstract Our previous studies demonstrated the importance of arrestin domain containing 3 (ARRDC3), a metastasis suppressor, in inhibiting invasive and metastatic potential of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) in vitro and in vivo. However, little is known about ARRDC3 mediated transcriptional control and its target genes that are implicated in its metastatic suppressing activity. In this study, we used miRNA array and subsequent functional analyses to identify miRNAs whose expression are significantly regulated by ARRDC3 in TNBC cells. We identified miR-200b as a major target gene of ARRDC3. miR-200b played an essential role in mediating ARRDC3 dependent reversal of EMT phenotypes and chemo-resistance to DNA damaging agents in TNBC cells. Expression of miR-200b also increased the expression of ARRDC3 as well in TNBC cells, suggesting a positive feedback loop between these two molecules. In addition, we combined the therapeutic powers of miR-200b and 5-fluorourancil (5-FU) into a single compound (5-FU-miR-200b) to maximize the synergistic effects of these compounds. Chemically modified miR-200b (5-FU-miR-200b mimic) was more effective in inhibiting metastatic potentials of TNBC cells than unmodified miR-200b and does not require transfection reagents, implying its therapeutic potential in TNBC. Our studies showed the importance of therapeutic targeting ARRDC3/miR-200b pathway in TNBC.

    Abstract Exosomes are endosome derived extracellular vesicles of 30-120 nm size ranges. Exosomes have been identified as mediators of cell-to-cell communication by transferring bioactive molecules such as nucleic acids, proteins and lipids into recipient cells. While exosomes are secreted by multiple cell types, cancer derived exosomes not only influence the invasive potentials of proximally located cells, but also affect distantly located tissues. Based on their ability to alter tumor microenvironment by regulating immunity, angiogenesis and metastasis, there has been growing interest in defining the clinical relevance of exosomes in cancers. In particular, exosomes are valuable sources for biomarkers due to selective cargo loading and resemblance to their parental cells. In this review, we summarize the recent findings to utilize exosomes as cancer biomarkers for early detection, diagnosis and therapy selection.

    Abstract Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) lack ER, PR and her2 receptors that are targets of common breast cancer therapies with poor prognosis due to their high rates of metastasis and chemoresistance. Based on our previous studies that epigenetic silencing of a potential metastasis suppressor, arrestin domain-containing 3 (ARRDC3), is linked to the aggressive nature of TNBCs, we identified a sub-group of tumor suppressing miRNAs whose expressions were significantly up-regulated by ARRDC3 over-expression in TNBC cells. Among these tumor suppressing miRs, we found that miR-489 is most anti-proliferative in TNBC cells. miR-489 also blocked DNA damaging responses (DDRs) in TNBC cells. To define the mechanism by which miR-489 inhibits TNBC cell functions, we screened the potential target genes of miR-489 and identified MDC-1 and SUZ-12 as novel target genes of miR-489 in TNBC cells. To further exploit the therapeutic potentials of miR-489 in TNBC models, we chemically modified the guide strand of miR-489 (CMM489) by replacing Uracil with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) so that tumor suppressor (miR-489) and DNA damaging (5-FU) components are combined into a single agent as a novel drug candidate for TNBCs. Our studies demonstrated that CMM489 shows superior effects over miR-489 or 5-FU in inhibition of TNBC cell proliferation and tumor progression, suggesting its therapeutic efficacy in TNBC models.

    Abstract The functional interaction between integrin α6β4 and growth factor receptors has been implicated in key signaling pathways important for cancer cell function. However, few attempts have been made to selectively target this interaction for therapeutic intervention. Previous studies showed that curcumin, a yellow pigment isolated from turmeric, inhibits integrin α6β4 signaling important for breast carcinoma cell motility and invasion, but the mechanism is not currently known. To address this issue, we tested the hypothesis that curcumin inhibits the functional interaction between α6β4 and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). In this study, we found that curcumin disrupts functional and physical interactions between α6β4 and EGFR, and blocks α6β4/EGFR-dependent functions of carcinoma cells expressing the signaling competent form of α6β4. We further showed that curcumin inhibits EGF-dependent mobilization of α6β4 from hemidesmosomes to the leading edges of migrating cells such as lammelipodia and filopodia, and thereby prevents α6β4 distribution to lipid rafts where functional interactions between α6β4 and EGFR occur. These data suggest a novel paradigm in which curcumin inhibits α6β4 signaling and functions by altering intracellular localization of α6β4, thus preventing its association with signaling receptors such as EGFR.
