Bio‐Orthogonally Crosslinked Supramolecular Polymer Bottlebrush Hydrogels for Long‐Term 3D Cell Culture

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Fibrous benzenetrispeptide (BTP) hydrogels, fabricated via strain‐promoted azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) crosslinking, form robust, bioinert networks. These hydrogels can support 3D cell culture, where cell viability and colony growth depend on the fiber content.

Critical role of c-Jun overexpression in liver metastasis of human breast cancer xenograft model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background c-Jun/AP-1 has been linked to invasive properties of aggressive breast cancer. Recently, it has been reported that overexpression of c-Jun in breast cancer cell line MCF-7 resulted in increased AP-1 activity, motility and invasiveness of the ...

Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.

HUMAN PREADIPOCYTES INHIBIT PROLIFERATION OF MCF-7 BREAST CANCER CELL LINE [PDF]

open access: yesActa Medica Iranica, 2006
Cancer cell-stromal cell interaction plays a crucial role in the growth and invasion of tumor cells of various organs. It has been recently suggested that adipocytes and preadipocytes, two specific types of stromal cells, affect the biological behavior ...

Genetic variability in MCF-7 sublines: evidence of rapid genomic and RNA expression profile modifications

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2003
Background Both phenotypic and cytogenetic variability have been reported for clones of breast carcinoma cell lines but have not been comprehensively studied. Despite this, cell lines such as MCF-7 cells are extensively used as model systems.

Light Activated Induction of Cuproptosis in Resistant Cancer Cells Using Polymeric BODIPY Nanoparticles for Photoactivated Chemotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents a photo‐responsive nanoparticle platform that precisely triggers copper‐dependent cuproptotic cell death in (drug‐resistant) cancer cells. The system remains stable and inactive in the dark but releases cytotoxic species upon red‐light irradiation, achieving potent activity in drug‐resistant breast cancer cells.

Exosomes from tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cells transmit drug resistance partly by delivering miR-9-5p

open access: yesCancer Cell International, 2021
Background Resistance to drug therapy is a major impediment for successful treatment of patients suffering from breast cancer (BC). Tamoxifen (TAM) is an extensively used therapeutic agent, which substantially reduces the risk of recurrence and ...

ANN Based Virtual Classification Model for Discriminating Active and Inactive Withanolide E Analogs against Human Breast Cancer Cell Line MCF-7 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Withanolides are a group of natural C-28 steroids built on an ergostane skeleton and classified into two major groups according to their structural skeleton: (a) compounds with a beta-oriented side chain and (b) compounds with an alpha-oriented side ...

S1 kills MCF-7/ADR cells more than MCF-7 cells: A protective mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum stress

open access: yesBiomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2013
Drug resistance in chemotherapy for breast cancer is associated with high levels of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) as well as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. In this paper, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a pan-BH3 mimetic S1 on drug-resistant MCF-7/ADR cells, and the roles of S1-induced ER stress in cell death.

CD24 Modulates Chemosensitivity of MCF-7 Breast Cancer cells [PDF]

open access: yesAnticancer Research, 2017
The role of cluster of differentiation (CD) 24 in breast cancer remains unclear; previously, we showed that CD24 suppresses malignant phenotypes by inactivating Hedgehog signaling through signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 1 inhibition. In this study, we examined how CD24 affects chemosensitivity in breast cancer cells.
