mRNA‐Lipid Nanoparticle‐Mediated Restoration of PTPN14 Exhibits Antitumor Effects by Overcoming Anoikis Resistance in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 32, August 27, 2024.
Through a genome‐wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screen, tyrosine‐protein phosphatase nonreceptor type 14 (PTPN14) is identified as a key regulator of anoikis resistance in triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC). Overexpressing PTPN14 inhibits anoikis resistance, tumorigenicity, and metastasis in TNBC cells by dephosphorylating breast cancer antiestrogen ...
