Molecular investigation of Breast Cancer xenograft model exposed to proton radiations
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Specific Breast Cncer (BC) subtypes are associated with a bad prognosis due to the absence of successful treatment plans. Moreover, the triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtype, with estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR) and human epidermal growth factor-2 (HER2) negative receptors status, were characterized by unsuccessful therapies, makes it a clinical challenge for oncologists. In addition, Proton RadioTherapy (PRT) represents an effective treatment also against conventional radiotherapy (RT) resistant cancers, and a promising therapeutically choice for TNBC. Our study aimed at analyze the in vivo molecular response induced by PRT in a MDA-MB-231 triple negative Breast Cancer xenograft model, focusing on gene expression profile (GEP) analyses. Our results demonstrate the multiple advantages of xenograft tissue microarrays for preclinical signature characterization of PRT to understand the molecular mechanism activated and to discover new molecular targets.
