概括
雌激素受体低阳性乳腺癌 (BC) 通常是ER阴性. 建议在BC病例中重复检测ER状态,其表达率为1-9%,以改善治疗决策.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 病理学 病理学 病理学
- 分子生物学分子生物学
背景情况:
- 雌激素受体 (ER) 状态对于乳腺癌 (BC) 的分类和治疗至关重要.
- ER-低阳性BC (1-9%表达) 代表了一个独特的子组,其生物和临床特征不明确.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究ER-低阳性BC的异质性.
- 确定ER-低阳性BC是否包括ER-阳性和ER-阴性瘤的混合体.
- 为了比较ER-低阳性BC与ER-阳性和ER-阴性BC的临床病理学和结果特征.
主要方法:
- 对一个大规模的BC队列 (n=8171) 的分析,按ER表达水平分类.
- 使用IHC,RNAscope和RT-qPCR对ER低阳性病例的详细评估.
- 从癌症基因组图谱 (TCGA) 中评估ER-低阳性病例中的PAM50亚型和ESR1mRNA表达.
主要成果:
- 低ER阳性瘤 (<2%的病例) 与ER阴性BC具有临床病理相似性.
- 45%的低ER阳性瘤在重复测试和分子分析后被证实为ER阴性.
- 低阳性ER瘤经常具有低ESR1mRNA表达的非光线,针芯活检显示出错误阳性ER染色.
结论:
- 常规诊断的ER-低阳性BC包括相当一部分ER-阴性病例.
- 建议修订≥10%的ER表达的切割值来定义ER阳性.
- 在表达率为1-9%的病例中,重复测试ER状态对于准确的诊断和治疗规划至关重要.

Transducer Mechanism: Nuclear Receptors
1.4K
Nuclear receptors, or NRs, are unique transcription factors that regulate gene transcription and affect the cellular pathways involved in reproduction, development, or metabolism. Their ability to be stimulated by small lipophilic ligands and control vital cellular processes makes them ideal drug targets. Nearly 10-15% of currently prescribed drugs target these receptors.
About 48 different soluble family members of nuclear receptors are identified that can be divided into two main classes:

Receptor Downregulation in MVBs
2.1K
Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are mature endosomes that sort ubiquitinated proteins and then fuse with lysosomes to degrade the sorted proteins. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR) form a complex that can be internalized through endocytosis, sorted into an MVB, and later degraded.
The EGFR can initiate signaling pathways that lead to cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Overexpression of EGFR stimulates cells to proliferate. Excessive EGFR...
