Research progress on the mechanism of CDK4/6 inhibitors promoting antitumor immunity by regulating the immune microenvironment of triple negative breast cancer / 国际肿瘤学杂志

Triple negative breast cancer is a subtype of breast cancer with poor prognosis and lack of effective treatment. Cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors promote antitumor immunity by influencing the triple negative breast cancer immune microenvironment, such as increasing the tumor cell surface pragrammed death-ligand 1 protein expression, enhancing T cell activation and antigen presentation, changing the proportion of T cell subgroup and inducing lymphocyte infiltration. The change of immune microenvironment is related to tumor progression, but its mechanism is extremely complex. Exploring the mechanism of CDK4/6 inhibitor affecting immune microenvironment and its biomarkers can provide a new direction for the diagnosis and treatment of triple negative breast cancer.

The correlation of PIK3CA gene mutation and the efficacy of anti-HER2 targeted therapy for breast cancer / 国际肿瘤学杂志

It has been shown that the PIK3CA mutation in HER2 positive breast cancer is up to 25%, and thus activates PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,promotes HER2 mediated tumor cell epithelial transformation, alters the intrinsic phenotype of HER2 overexpression breast cancer,and finally leads to resistance to anti HER2 targeted therapy.Some studies have shown that the PIK3CA gene mutation is associated with the efficacy of anti-HER2 targeted therapy.Therefore,real-time monitoring of PIK3CA gene mutation will promote indivi-dualized anti-HER2 targeted therapy.
