Open AccessMicroRNA-149 targets GIT1 to suppress integrin signaling and breast cancer metastasis
Metastasis is the predominant cause of death in breast cancer patients. Several lines of evidence have shown that microRNAs (miRs) can have an important role in cancer metastasis. Using isogenic pairs of low a...

Autocrine/paracrine mechanism of interleukin-17B receptor promotes breast tumorigenesis through NF-κB-mediated antiapoptotic pathway
Gain of function of membrane receptor was a good strategy exploited by cancer cells to benefit own growth and survival. Overexpression of HER2 has been found to serve as a target for develo** trastuzumab to ...

miR-495 is upregulated by E12/E47 in breast cancer stem cells, and promotes oncogenesis and hypoxia resistance via downregulation of E-cadherin and REDD1
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in tumorigenecity by regulating specific oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, and their roles in breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are becoming apparent. Distinct from the CD44+/CD...

Open AccessCumulative survival in early-onset unilateral and bilateral breast cancer: an analysis of 1907 Taiwanese women
As the epidemiological pattern of breast cancer in modernising Asian countries differs greatly from that in Western countries, it is worthwhile to investigate the long-term prognoses of unilateral and bilatera...

Molecular signatures of metaplastic carcinoma of the breast by large-scale transcriptional profiling: identification of genes potentially related to epithelial–mesenchymal transition
Metaplastic carcinoma of the breast (MCB) is a poorly understood subtype of breast cancer. It is generally characterized by the coexistence of ductal carcinomatous and transdifferentiated sarcomatous component...

Open AccessCytochrome P4501A1 polymorphism as a susceptibility factor for breast cancer in postmenopausal Chinese women in Taiwan
The incidence of breast cancer has been greatly increasing in Taiwan over the past two decades. Since cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) is involved in the metabolism of environmental carcinogens or oestrogen, we hyp...
