Description

Jiao Yang and co-authors trace how a cell-surface linker protein shapes the most aggressive breast cancer type. The cancer lacks the usual hormone and growth receptors, so drug options are few. The protein's exact role in it was unclear.

The team mined expression data from over sixty breast cancer cell lines and patient tissues. Raising or lowering the protein in two cancer cell lines changed growth, spread, and self-eating behavior. A partner protein was found that binds the linker and carries much of the effect. Self-eating proteins shifted in step with the pair. The chain offers new drug targets in a cancer short of them. Lab evidence is the first rung, and the authors treat it so.
