Triple-negative Breast Cancer and Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase Inhibitors

Abstract: Recent gene profiling studies have identified at least 5 major subtypes of breast cancer, including normal type, luminal A type, luminal B type, human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2 positive type, and basal-like type. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), showing no or low expressions of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), and HER2, considered important clinical biomarkers, accounts for 10% to 20% of all breast cancers. Hormonal therapy and molecular targeted therapy are not indicate… Show more

“…Triple negative breast cancers account for ~20% of all breast cancers and are associated with an aggressive clinical picture (20, 25, 29). Due to lack of hormone receptor or HER-2 expression, and no other known target for tailored therapy, the only current treatment option is chemotherapy.…”

“…Bevacizumaban anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody inhibiting angiogenesiswas also utilized as part of personalized therapy in the metastatic setting [4]. PARP inhibitors are pharmacological inhibitors of poly-ADP ribose polymerase, an enzyme responsible for repairing single-stranded DNA breaks [18][19][20]; as they may be given in BRCA mutant cancer, the PARP inhibitor olaparib was included as fourth line therapy. Approximately 25-45% of TNBC express AR, which may be utilized as a therapeutic target, and it is associated with a better prognosis [4,16,21]; however, AR status was negative in our case.…”

“…miRNAs represent another type of molecular markers for diagnosis and targeted drug delivery [37]. It can also be found in a number of recent review articles [42][43][44][45]. Further studies indicate that many miRNAs play crucial roles in cellular plasticity during breast tumorigenesis and metastasis [38].…”
