Androgen Receptor Signaling in in vivo models of Estrogen Receptor-positive Breast Cancer and Normal Breast Epithelium

Steroid hormone receptors (HRs) are ligand-activated transcription factors that play a pivotal role in breast development and carcinogenesis. It is well established that estrogen receptor (ER) signaling is a major proliferative driver in estrogen receptor ...

Optimized Modeling of Metastatic Triple-Negative Invasive Lobular Breast Carcinoma

Cathrin Brisken, Laura Battista, Georgios Sflomos

Simple Summary Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common histologic subtype of breast cancer and is often detected at an advanced stage. Up to 30% of ILC cases relapse and present a challenge for treatment. Unfortunately, there are few mod ...

Multiomic analysis of HER2-enriched and AR-positive breast carcinoma with apocrine differentiation and an oligometastatic course: a case report

Andrea Cavalli

Breast carcinoma is the most prevalent cancer among women globally. It has variable clinical courses depending on the stage and clinical-biological features. This case report describes a 56-year-old female with invasive breast cancer without estrogen or pr ...

Role of the androgen receptor in the human breast epithelium

Fabio De Martino

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide and understanding the risk factors affecting it is key for prevention. The relative risk of developing breast cancer is related to exposure to both endogenous hormones and exogenous natural and ...

Deep Learning Enables Individual Xenograft Cell Classification in Histological Images by Analysis of Contextual Features

Michaël Unser, Cathrin Brisken, Daniel Sage, Olivier Burri, Quentin Juppet, Fabio De Martino, Martin Weigert

Patient-Derived Xenografts (PDXs) are the preclinical models which best recapitulate inter- and intra-patient complexity of human breast malignancies, and are also emerging as useful tools to study the normal breast epithelium. However, data analysis gener ...

Intraductal xenografts show lobular carcinoma cells rely on their own extracellular matrix and LOXL1

Cathrin Brisken, Giovanna Ambrosini, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Georgios Sflomos, Laura Battista, Philipp Bucher, Valentina Scabia, Maryse Fiche, Fabio De Martino, Patrik Aouad

Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the most frequent special histological subtype of breast cancer, typically characterized by loss of E‐cadherin. It has clinical features distinct from other estrogen receptor‐positive (ER+) breast cancers but the molecul ...

90 YEARS OF PROGESTERONE Progesterone receptor signaling in the normal breast and its implications for cancer

Cathrin Brisken, Valentina Scabia

Progesterone is considered as the pregnancy hormone and acts on many different target tissues. Progesterone receptor (PR) signaling is important for normal development and the physiologic function of the breast and impinges on breast carcinogenesis. Both s ...

HISTOBREAST, a collection of brightfield microscopy images of Haematoxylin and Eosin stained breast tissue

Tiberiu Totu

Modern histopathology workflows rely on the digitization of histology slides. The quality of the resulting digital representations, in the form of histology slide image mosaics, depends on various specific acquisition conditions and on the image processing ...

Progestins used for hormonal contraception in Switzerland: study of their effects on the breast epithelium

Marie Shamseddin

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the most common cause of cancer death among women. Hormones have been shown to have a key role in breast development and carcinogenesis. Repeated activation of progesterone receptor (PR) signaling as ...

Stratification and therapeutic potential of PML in metastatic breast cancer

Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert

Patient stratification has been instrumental for the success of targeted therapies in breast cancer. However, the molecular basis of metastatic breast cancer and its therapeutic vulnerabilities remain poorly understood. Here we show that PML is a novel tar ...

TIE-2-expressing monocytes are lymphangiogenic and associate specifically with lymphatics of human breast cancer

George Coukos, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Luc Henry, Ioannis Xenarios, Hans-Anton Lehr, Nathalie Rufer, Emanuela Marina Iancu

In experimental mouse models of cancer, increasingly compelling evidence point toward a contribution of tumor associated macrophages (TAM) to tumor lymphangiogenesis. Corresponding experimental observations in human cancer remain scarce although lymphatic ...

Antagonistic roles of Notch and p63 in controlling mammary epithelial cell fates

Cathrin Brisken, Maryse Fiche

The breast epithelium has two major compartments, luminal and basal cells, that are established and maintained by poorly understood mechanisms. The p53 homolog, p63, is required for the formation of mammary buds, but its function in the breast after birth ...
