Over the past decade, there has been growing interest in the Notch signalling pathway within the breast cancer field. This interest stemmed initially from the observation that Notch signalling is aberrantly activated in breast cancer and its effects on various cellular processes including proliferation, apoptosis, and cancer stem cell activity. However more recently, elevated Notch signalling has been correlated with therapy resistance in oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. As a result, inhibiting Notch signalling with therapeutic agents is being explored as a promising treatment option for breast cancer patients.

Novel ferrocenyl pyrazoles inhibit breast cancer cell viability via induction of apoptosis and inhibition of PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 signaling
Atmaca, Harika; Ozkan, Ayse Nur; Zora, Metin (2017-02-01)
Despite the advances in early detection and targeted therapies, chemotherapy is still of vital importance in breast cancer treatment. However, development of drug resistance and serious side effects limits their usage. Thus, there is an urgent need for safer and more effective agents against breast cancer. We have previously described the synthesis of a number of pyrazole derivatives, and in the current study, we have investigated the effects of two different ferrocenyl pyrazole (FP) derivates, 5-ferrocenyl...
Overexpressed genes/ESTs and characterization of distinct amplicons on 17q23 in breast cancer cells
Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; DEMERS, SK; ROUILLARD, JM; HANASH, SM; PETTY, EM (Elsevier BV, 2001-11-01)
17q23 is a frequent site of gene amplification in breast cancer. Several lines of evidence suggest the presence of multiple amplicons on 17q23. To characterize distinct amplicons on 17q23 and localize putative oncogenes, we screened genes and expressed sequence tags (ESTs) in existing physical and radiation hybrid maps for amplification and overexpression in breast cancer cell lines by semiquantitative duplex PCR, semiquantitative duplex RT-PCR, Southern blot, and Northern blot analyses. We identified two d...
Identification of Potential Therapeutic Genes and Pathways in Phytoestrogen Emodin Treated Breast Cancer Cell Lines via Network Biology Approaches
Sakalli-Tecim, Elif; Uyar-Arpaci, Pembegul; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün (2021-02-01)
Phytoestrogens have been investigated for their potential anti-tumorigenic effects in various cancers including breast cancer. Emodin being a phytoestrogen shows anti-carcinogenic properties especially in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancers. The aim of this study is to identify the molecular mechanism and related biological pathways in both (ER+) MCF-7 and (ER-) MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines upon Emodin treatment via microarray analysis in order to find out therapeutic biomarkers. In both ...
Modeling and Characterization of Nanomedicine Transport within Tumor Microenvironment across Scales
Akalın, Ali Aykut; Özçelikkale, Altuğ (2022-09-19)
Despite significant advances in recent decades, diagnosis and treatment of cancer remain to be a major challenge. Advances in nanotechnology have enabled numerous nanoparticle (NP) formulations for efficient delivery of drugs and diagnostic agents to the target tumor site. The size, shape, charge, and surface characteristics of so-called nanomedicine can be tuned to affect the interactions of the NP with the physiological environment [1]. However, design efforts to develop nanomedicine for efficient deliver...
The Spatiotemporal Evolution of Lymph Node Spread in Early Breast Cancer
Barry, Peter; et. al. (2018-10-01)
Purpose: The most significant prognostic factor in early breast cancer is lymph node involvement. This stage between localized and systemic disease is key to understanding breast cancer progression; however, our knowledge of the evolution of lymph node malignant invasion remains limited, as most currently available data are derived from primary tumors.
