Tamoxifen differentially modulates endometrial hyperplasia via wild-type and mutant p53 regulation of the ALKBH5-REG1A axis. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
These findings establish a mechanistic link between hormonal signaling, p53 allelic status, and m6A-dependent post-transcriptional regulation. Although further in vivo validation is required, disruption of the ALKBH5-REG1A axis may contribute to heterogeneous endometrial responses to tamoxifen, thereby providing a conceptual framework for biomarker-oriented investigation.

Decoding P21 Activated Kinase-1 (PAK1) and Drug-Resistance Enigma. (PubMed, Cell Biochem Funct)
Pak1 has been reported to be mechanistically contributing to drug resistance to tamoxifen and gemcitabine. The study analysis revealed that mutated Pak1 and more than one kinase were likely to be involved in drug resistance in patients associated with poor prognosis. The study concluded that the detection of altered kinases in resistant tumors is imperative, and a combination of kinase inhibitors could be useful for treatment rather than single agents to improve treatment outcomes.

SULT and UGT Genetic Variants Modulate Side Effect Profiles in South African Breast Cancer Patients Treated with Tamoxifen. (PubMed, Genes (Basel))
Hot flashes were frequent, affecting 33% of patients, but showed no clear pharmacogenetic associations. This study demonstrates that pharmacogenetic variation is associated with interindividual differences in treatment-related side effects, underscoring the need to expand research in African populations to better inform precision endocrine therapy.

Unraveling the roles of estrogen receptor alpha and retinoic acid receptor alpha signaling in perfluorinated iodine alkane-mediated migration of breast cancer cells. (PubMed, J Environ Sci (China))
The pro-migratory effects of PFIs on MCF-7 cells were abolished by an ERα antagonist of 4-hydroxytamoxifen, indicating the substantial role of ERα signaling in cancer cell progression...Although PFI-induced RARα antagonism alone had no effects on the migration of MDA-RARα cells, it did recover that compromised by atRA. This study provides new evidence on the promotion effects of PFIs on breast cancer cells, and reveals the multi-nuclear receptor-regulated mechanisms for understanding intricate toxicological effects of emerging pollutants.

Lymphatic Malformations With Activating KRAS Mutations Impair Lymphatic Valve Development Through Matrix Metalloproteinases. (PubMed, Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol)
To investigate the mechanisms leading to valve loss, we combined the lymphatic-specific and tamoxifen-inducible Flt4CreERT2 with Kras-loxP-stop-loxP-G12D (Kras+/G12D) mice and Prox1GFP reporter mice to induce the restricted expression of KRAS-G12D and enable valve quantification in postnatal pups...We conclude that hyperactive KRAS signaling upregulates MMPs that become excessively activated by the upregulation of the PA pathway. MMPs then degrade the lymphatic valve ECM core, preventing valve formation.

Invasive Apocrine Carcinoma in a Young Female With Triple Hormone Receptor Positivity: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
Adjuvant treatment included combination chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and dual hormonal therapy with tamoxifen and an AR inhibitor. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of hormone receptor-positive AC and underscores the importance of comprehensive immunohistochemical profiling for individualized management.
