    Abstract As aberrant alternative splicing by either dysregulation or mutations of splicing factors contributes to cancer initiation and progression, splicing factors are emerging as potential therapeutic targets for cancer therapy. Therefore, pharmacological modulators targeting splicing factors have been under development. Epithelial splicing regulatory protein 1 (ESRP1) is an epithelial cell-specific splicing factor, whose downregulation is associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by regulating alternative splicing of multiple genes, such as CD44, CTNND1, ENAH, and FGFR2. Consistent with the downregulation of ESRP1 during EMT, it has been initially revealed that high ESRP1 expression is associated with favorable prognosis and ESRP1 plays a tumor-suppressive role in cancer progression. However, ESRP1 has been found to promote cancer progression in some cancers, such as breast and ovarian cancers, indicating that it plays a dual role in cancer progression depending on the type of cancer. Furthermore, recent studies have reported that ESRP1 affects tumor growth by regulating the metabolism of tumor cells or immune cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment, suggesting the novel roles of ESRP1 in addition to EMT. ESRP1 expression was also associated with response to anticancer drugs. This review describes current understanding of the roles and mechanisms of ESRP1 in cancer progression, and further discusses the emerging novel roles of ESRP1 in cancer and recent attempts to target splicing factors for cancer therapy.

    Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are the most prominent proteinases involved in tumorigenesis. They were initially recognized to promote tumor progression by remodeling the extracellular matrix through their proteolytic activity. However, accumulating evidence has revealed that some MMPs have protective roles in cancer progression, and the same MMP can exert opposing roles depending on the cell type in which it is expressed or the stage of cancer. Moreover, studies have shown that MMPs are involved in cancer progression through their roles in other biological processes such as cell signaling and immune regulation, independent of their catalytic activity. Despite the prognostic significance of tumoral or stromal expression of MMPs in breast cancer, their roles and molecular mechanisms in breast cancer progression remain unclear. As the failures of early clinical trials with broad-spectrum MMP inhibitors were mainly due to a lack of drug specificity, substantial efforts have been made to develop highly selective MMP inhibitors. Some recently developed MMP inhibitory monoclonal antibodies demonstrated promising anti-tumor effects in preclinical models of breast cancer. Importantly, anti-tumor effects of these antibodies were associated with the modulation of tumor immune microenvironment, suggesting that the use of MMP inhibitors in combination with immunotherapy can improve the efficacy of immunotherapy in HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer. In this review, the current understanding of the roles of tumoral or stromal MMPs in breast cancer is summarized, and recent advances in the development of highly selective MMP inhibitors are discussed.

    Abstract Globally, breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Substantial efforts have been made to develop novel therapies, including targeted therapies and immunotherapies, for patients with breast cancer who do not respond to standard therapies. Consequently, new targeted therapies, such as cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors, phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor, and antibody-drug conjugates targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 or trophoblast cell surface antigen-2, and immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting programmed cell death-1, have been developed and are now in clinical use. However, only some patients have benefited from these novel therapies; therefore, the identification and validation of reliable or more accurate biomarkers for predicting responses to these agents remain a major challenge. This review summarizes the currently available predictive biomarkers for breast cancer and describes recent efforts undertaken to identify potential predictive markers for molecularly targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors.

    Abstract A synthetic pyrethroid pesticide, bifenthrin, has been commonly used as an effective exterminator, although the rise in its usage has raised concerns regarding its effects on the environment and public health, including reproduction, globally. The current study investigated the function-related molecular disparities and mechanisms in bifenthrin-exposed sperm cells and the underlying mechanism. Therefore, epididymal spermatozoa were released, and various concentrations of bifenthrin were treated (0.1, 1, 10, and 100 μM) to evaluate their effects on sperm. The findings showed that although bifenthrin had no effect on sperm viability, various other sperm functions (e.g., motility, spontaneous acrosome reaction, and capacitation) related to male fertility were decreased, commencing at a 1 µM treatment. Molecular studies revealed nine differentially expressed sperm proteins that were implicated in motile cilium assembly, sperm structure, and metabolic processes. Furthermore, bifenthrin affected sperm functions through abnormal diminution of the expression of specific sperm proteins. Collectively, these findings provide greater insights into how bifenthrin affects male fertility at the molecular level.

    Abstract 4-Nonylphenol (4-NP) is an endocrine-disrupting chemical that impairs animal and human reproduction. However, the mechanisms underlying male reproductive dysfunction by 4-NP have not been fully understood. Herein, we demonstrated the effects of 4-NP on boar sperm functions and molecular mechanisms. Spermatozoa were treated with various concentrations of 4-NP (0, 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100 μM) during capacitation. Then, we evaluated sperm motility, capacitation status, intracellular ATP level, and cell viability. Finally, we measured the expression of phosphorylated protein kinase A (PKA), tyrosine phosphorylation, and proteins related to the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK1)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathways following exposure to 4-NP. Sperm motility and motion kinematics were reduced by 4-NP, whereas intracellular ATP levels were increased significantly in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the expression levels of p-PI3K, PTEN, p-PDK1, AKT, and p-AKT exhibited a significant dose-dependent increase. Moreover, abnormal activation of PKA and tyrosine phosphorylation were observed. Specifically, the ∼24 kDa p-PKA substrate demonstrated a significant reduction following exposure to 4-Np. In addition, the ∼18 kDa p-PKA substrate and tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins displayed a significant dose-dependent increase after exposure to 4-NP. Our results suggest that 4-NP may induce detrimental effects on sperm functions through abnormal changes in PKA activity and tyrosine phosphorylation during capacitation, possibly through unusual alteration of the PI3K/PDK1/AKT signaling pathway. Therefore, 4-NP must be cautiously used considering its reproductive toxicity.

    Abstract Several multigene assays have been developed to predict the risk of distant recurrence and response to adjuvant therapy in early breast cancer. However, the prognostic or predictive value of current proliferation gene signature-based assays are limited to hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+/HER2-) early breast cancer. Considerable discordance between the different assays in classifying patients into risk groups has also been reported, thus raising questions about the clinical utility of these assays for individual patients. Therefore, there still remains a need for better prognostic or predictive biomarkers for breast cancer. The role of immune cells comprising tumor microenvironment in tumor progression has been recognized. Accumulating evidences have shown that immune gene signatures and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) can be prognostic or predictive factors in breast cancer, particularly with regard to HER2+ and triple-negative breast cancer. In this review, I summarize current multigene assays for breast cancer and discuss recent progress in identifying novel breast cancer biomarkers, focusing on the emerging importance of immune gene signatures and TILs as prognostic or predictive biomarkers.
