概括
性别确认丸激素治疗 (TT) 在小鼠中降低了81%的雌激素受体阳性 (ER +) 乳腺癌风险,但不会影响与BRCA1相关的三阴性乳腺癌风险. 推对TT使用者进行持续的乳腺癌查.
科学领域:
- 内分泌学和瘤学 在内分泌学和瘤学.
- 在乳腺癌的翻译研究.
背景情况:
- 研究了 gender-affirming testosterone therapy (TT) 对乳腺癌 (BC) 风险和瘤进展的影响.
- 检查了TT对终端导管叶状单元 (TDLU) 卷积和乳腺组织标记物的影响.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定TT是否影响乳腺癌发病率和进展.
- 评估TT对乳腺组织和瘤微环境特征的影响.
- 为了评估跨性别男性个体的乳腺癌瘤特征.
主要方法:
- 用一个大型的人类乳腺组织数据集 (n=417) 进行TDLU卷积分析.
- 使用临床前模型 (MMTV-Cre Pik3ca和K14-Cre Brca Tp53) 来评估BC发生率和乳腺结构.
- 在人体组织和小鼠瘤上进行了转录基因组分析.
主要成果:
- TT促进了TDLU的卷积,并改变了树皮细胞标记物.
- 在小鼠中,TT显著降低了PIK3CA相关的ER+BC发生率,降低了81%,但没有影响与BRCA1相关的三阴性BC发生率.
- TT没有影响瘤进展,但调节了ER+瘤微环境.
结论:
- TT可以降低ER+BC风险,但不能消除它;对BRCA1相关的BC风险的影响是可以忽略不计的.
- TT调节瘤的微环境,但不会影响瘤建立后的生长.
- 支持需要进行乳腺癌查和针对使用TT的跨性别男性个体进行量身定制的监测.

Targeted Cancer Therapies
8.6K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression
4.6K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway
5.4K
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates growth, proliferation, and cell survival in response to hormones, growth factors, or nutrient availability. This kinase exists in two structurally and functionally distinct forms: mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2). The first form (mTORC1) is composed of a rapamycin-sensitive Raptor and proline-rich Akt substrate, PRAS40. In contrast, mTORC2 consists of a...
