乳腺癌(BC)发病率持续上升,已成为严重威胁公共健康的重大挑战,转移仍是导致患者死亡的主要原因。目前,切除肿瘤并辅以放化疗后仍有较大几率发生转移。此外,早期转移隐匿性强,干预措施不完善及耐药发生迅速均是预后不良的重要因素。细胞外囊泡(EVs)是由细胞释放的、具有膜结构的纳米级颗粒,是细胞间通讯的重要介质。EVs通过转运膜性组分、胞质蛋白及核酸等,调控乳腺癌的发生、进展及转移定植,其来源异质性决定了其在乳腺癌转移中发挥独特作用。本文重点总结了不同来源EVs作为液体活检标志物在转移预警中的价值,以及靶向EVs分泌或阻断其通讯网络在克服免疫治疗耐药中的潜在临床应用,以期为临床医生提供有价值的诊疗参考。
The incidence of breast cancer(BC) continues to rise and has become a major public health challenge.Metastasis remains the principal cause of BC-related mortality.Currently,there remains a high probability of metastasis even after surgical tumor resection followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.The insidious nature of early metastasis,inadequate intervention strategies,and rapid development of drug resistance are all critical factors contributing to poor prognosis.Extracellular vesicles(EVs) are membrane-enclosed,nanoscale particles released by cells.As mediators of intercellular communication,EVs transfer membrane components,cytosolic proteins,and nucleic acids to recipient cells,thereby modulating BC initiation,progression,and metastatic dissemination.The heterogeneity of EV origins determines their distinct roles in breast cancer metastasis.This review focuses on summarizing the value of EVs from different sources as liquid biopsy biomarkers for metastasis warning,as well as their potential clinical applications in targeting EV secretion or blocking their communication networks to overcome immunotherapy resistance,aiming to provide valuable diagnostic and therapeutic references for clinicians.
目的 探讨TAP水平与乳腺癌分子亚型及临床病理参数之间的相关性。方法 以2021年3月—2025年1月期间收治的150例乳腺癌病例为样本,采用静脉采血方式测定TAP凝聚物表面积指标,通过免疫组织化学EnVision双步染色技术,对雌激素受体(ER)、雄激素受体(AR)、孕激素受体(PR)、Ki-67及p53等表达水平进行分析,采用荧光原位杂交(FISH)对人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)基因扩增状态进行检测。结果 150例患者中,TAP强阳性131例,TAP弱阳性15例,TAP阴性4例,TAP阳性率97.33%。免疫表型:ER阴性43例,ER阳性107例;AR阳性133例,AR阴性17例;PR阴性60例,PR阳性90例;p53阳性73例,p53阴性77例;HER2强阳性41例,HER2弱阳性89例,HER2阴性20例;Ki-67增殖指数≥20% 116例,Ki-67增殖指数<20% 34例。FISH对65例免疫组织化学检测结果为HER2(2+ )的乳腺癌病例进行基因扩增状态分析,其中阳性7例,阴性58例。Ki-67高增殖组TAP表达水平显著高于低增殖组(P<0.05);不同临床分期患者TAP表达水平存在差异(P<0.05);三阴型、HER2阳性型、Luminal A型和Luminal B型的患者之间的TAP表达水平存在差异(P<0.05),各分子分型(HER2阳性型、三阴型、Luminal A型和Luminal B型)与其对应非分型组的TAP表达均无统计学差异(均P>0.05)。结论 TAP在乳腺癌中广泛表达,且与Ki-67增殖指数、临床分期呈正相关。虽然不同分子分型间TAP表达存在总体差异,但具体亚型对比未显示显著性,后期需扩大样本量验证。
Objective To explore the relationship between tumor abnormal protein(TAP)level and molecular typing and clinicopathological features of breast cancer.Methods A total of 150 breast cancer cases admitted from March 2021 to January 2025 were enrolled in this study.The surface area of TAP condensates was measured using venous blood samples.The expression levels of estrogen receptor(ER),androgen receptor(AR),progesterone receptor(PR),Ki-67,and P53 were analyzed via immunohistochemistry(IHC)using the EnVision two-step staining technique.The amplification status of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2+)gene was determined using fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH).Results Among 150 patients,131 cases were strongly positive,15 cases were weakly positive and 4 cases were negative,with a positive rate of 97.33%.Immunophenotype:ER positive in 107 cases and ER negative in 43 cases,133 cases were positive for AR and 17 cases were negative,PR was positive in 90 cases and negative in 60 cases,73 cases were positive for p53 and 77 cases were negative.HER2 is strongly positive in 41 cases,weakly positive in 89 cases and negative in 20 cases.There were 116 cases with Ki-67 proliferation index ≥ 20% and 34 cases with Ki-67 proliferation index < 20%.Sixty-five cases of breast cancer HER2(2 )were detected in the later stage.by FISH,of which 7 cases were positive and 58 cases were negative.The expression level of TAP in patients with high Ki-67 proliferation index was higher than that in patients with low Ki-67 proliferation index(P<0.05).The expression level of TAP in patients with different clinical stages was different(P<0.05).There were differences in TAP expression levels among patients with triple negative type,HER2 positive type,Luminal A type and Luminal B type(P<0.05).There was no statistical difference in TAP expression between each molecular type(triple negative type,HER2 positive type,Luminal A type and Luminal B type)and its corresponding non-typing group(all P>0.05).Conclusions TAP is widely expressed in breast cancer,and it is positively correlated with Ki-67 proliferation index and clinical stage.Although there is a general difference in TAP expression among different molecular typing,the comparison of specific subtypes shows no significance,and it needs to be verified by expanding the sample size

Objective To investigate the predictive value of multi-parameter quantitative features of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI)in the risk of axillary lymph node metastasis(ALNM)in breast cancer.Methods Clinical data of 155 patients with breast cancer diagnosed by surgery and pathology in Foshan Gaoming District People's hospital from March 2020 to November 2022 were retrospectively collected.According to whether the patients had ALNM,they were divided into ALNM group(n=39)and non-ALNM group(n=116).Univariate analysis and multiple Logistic regression models were used to explore the influencing factors of ALNM in breast cancer.Results There was no significant difference in mass texture,mass diameter,mass location,mass shape and internal enhancement between the ALNM group and the non-ALNM group(t/χ2=2.249,0.977,1.369,0.524,2.158,P>0.05).There were significant differences in ADC value,ALN short diameter,tumor margin and TIC curve between the two groups(t/χ2=6.573,9.873,29.441,2.031,P<0.05).Binary Logistic regression model showed that ADC value,ALN short diameter(≥5 mm)and tumor margin(blur)were risk factors for the occurrence of breast cancer ALNM(OR=0.251,0.106,0.002,P<0.05).Conclusions Among the multi-parameter quantitative features of DCE-MRI,the ADC value of breast cancer,the short diameter of ALN(≥5 mm),and the edge of the tumor(blur)are the risk factors for the occurrence of ALNM in breast cancer.
乳腺癌是女性最常见的原发恶性肿瘤之一。目前,通过采用综合治疗手段,包括手术、新辅助治疗、辅助放化疗等多种手段,乳腺癌已成为疗效最佳的实体肿瘤之一。其中,新辅助治疗(NAT)包括新辅助化疗、靶向治疗和内分泌治疗,目的是使肿瘤降期、保乳、保腋窝,并可观察药物敏感性,是当前乳腺癌综合治疗中非常重要的组成部分,其治疗疗效对患者手术方式的选择和预后至关重要。尽管病理学评价在评估NAT疗效方面被公认为金标准,但其局限性在于只能通过有创手段在治疗后进行,无法在治疗前对患者做出准确预测。磁共振成像(MRI)作为一项广泛使用的乳腺成像技术,在评估NAT疗效中扮演着关键角色。近年来,人工智能技术,尤其是影像组学(Radiomics)和深度学习(Deep Learning),在医学影像分析领域取得了显著进展。这些技术能够从医学图像中提取大量肉眼难以识别的特征,揭示病变内部的微观结构和生物学行为,全面反映肿瘤的异质性,这不仅有助于临床医生更准确地区分良、恶性肿瘤,还能对恶性肿瘤的预后进行更为精确的评估。本文系统综述了近年来基于MRI的人工智能技术在乳腺癌新辅助治疗疗效评估中的应用研究,旨在促进人工智能在NAT临床实践中的应用和发展,为乳腺癌NAT治疗策略的优化和个性化医疗的实现提供科学依据。
Breast cancer is one of the most common primary malignant tumors in women.Currently,breast cancer has become one of the most effective solid tumors by using comprehensive treatment methods,including surgery,neoadjuvant therapy,adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy.Among them,neoadjuvant therapy(NAT),including neoadjuvant chemotherapy,targeted therapy and endocrine therapy,is a very important part of the current comprehensive treatment of breast cancer.It aims to reduce the tumor stage,preserve the breast,preserve the armpit,and observe the drug sensitivity.Its therapeutic effect is crucial to the choice of surgical methods and prognosis of patients.Although pathological evaluation is recognized as the gold standard in evaluating the response to NAT,its limitation is that it can only be performed after treatment by invasive means,and cannot accurately predict response before treatment.As a widely used breast imaging technology,magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)plays a key role in evaluating the response to NAT.However,traditional MRI evaluation methods are limited by the individual differences of interobserver and the low repeatability of evaluation results,which affects the accuracy of efficacy evaluation to a certain extent.In recent years,artificial intelligence technology,especially radiomics and deep learning,has made significant progress in the field of medical image analysis.These techniques can extract a large number of features that are difficult to be recognized by the naked eye from medical images,reveal the internal microstructure and biological behavior of the lesion,and fully reflect the heterogeneity of the tumor.This not only helps clinicians to distinguish benign and malignant tumors more accurately,but also makes a more accurate assessment of the prognosis of malignant tumors.This article reviews the application and progress of MRI-based artificial intelligence technology in evaluating the response to neoadjuvant therapy for breast cancer in the past five years,aiming to promote the application and development of artificial intelligence in NAT clinical practice,and provide a scientific basis for the optimization of NAT treatment strategy and the realization of personalized medicine for breast cancer.
目的 分析TIMELESS、鼠肉瘤病毒家族相关蛋白2A(RAB2A)、异常纺锤体样小头畸形相关基因(ASPM)在乳腺癌组织中的表达及与临床特征相关性。方法 选取2019年2月—2021年2月我院乳腺癌组织标本84例作为研究组、正常乳腺组织标本53例作为对照组,采用荧光定量聚合酶测定TIMELESS、ASPM,采用Western blot检测RAB2A蛋白表达情况,分析上述三个指标在乳腺癌中表达及与临床特征相关性。结果 对比对照组,研究组TIMELESS、ASPM表达较高,RAB2A较低(P<0.05)。TIMELESS、RAB2A、ASPM与乳腺癌淋巴结浸润、TNM分期、分化程度相关(P<0.05)。TIMELESS、RAB2A、ASPM为影响乳腺癌发生的危险因素(P<0.05)。TIMELESS、RAB2A负相关(r=-0.383、P=0.001);TIMELESS、ASPM正相关(r=0.397、P=0.001);RAB2A、ASPM负相关(r=-0.257、P=0.018)。对比TIMELESS、RAB2A、ASPM单一检测,三者联合检测对乳腺癌的诊断价值较高(P<0.05)。结论 乳腺癌患者TIMELESS、ASPM呈高表达,RAB2A呈低表达,上述三个指标与乳腺癌高度相关,可作为乳腺癌发生的检测指标。
Objective To analyze the expression of TIMELESS,murine sarcoma virus family related protein 2A(RAB2A)and abnormal spindle like microcephaly related gene(ASPM)in breast cancer tissues and their correlation with clinical features.Methods A total of 84 breast cancer tissue samples from our hospital from February 2019 to February 2021 were selected as the study group and 53 normal breast tissue samples were selected as the control group.Time,ASPM and RAB2A protein expression were determined by fluorescent quantitative polymerase,and RAB2A protein expression was detected by Western blot.The expression of the above three indicators in breast cancer and their correlation with clinical characteristics were analyzed.Results Compared with the control group,the study group had higher TIMELESS and ASPM expression levels and lower RAB2A level(P<0.05).TIMELESS,RAB2A and ASPM expressions were correlated with lymph node infiltration,TNM stage and differentiation of breast cancer(P<0.05).TIMELESS,RAB2A and ASPM were the risk factors of breast cancer(P<0.05).TIMELESS and RAB2A were negatively correlated(r=-0.383,P=0.001);TIMELESS and ASPM were positive correlated(r=0.397、P=0.001);RAB2A and ASPM were negatively correlated(r=-0.257,P=0.018).Compared with the single detection of TIMELESS,RAB2A and ASPM,the combined detection had higher diagnostic value for breast cancer(P<0.05).Conclusions Patients with breast cancer had high expression of TIMELESS and ASPM,and low expression of RAB2A.The above three indicators were highly correlated with breast cancer and can be detection indicators for breast cancer.

Objective To construct and characterize the size-variable nano-delivery system PAMAM/DOX-pep,examine its physicochemical properties and evaluate its antitumor and targeting effects in vitro. Methods Small particle size PAMAM/DOX was obtained by physically encapsulating DOX within the hydrophobic cavity of the cationic polymer PAMAM. The large size nano-delivery system(PAMAM/DOX-pep)was formed by tandem linking small size nanoparticles by MMP-2 sensitive peptide pep(CPLGVRGC)using SMCC as a cross-linker. The particle size,potential,physical and chemical properties,inhibitory effect,cell uptake and nuclear targeting effect of each nanoparticle on mouse breast cancer cells(4T1)were detected. Results The particle size of PAMAM/DOX was about 10 nm,and the drug loading rate was 23%. PAMAMAM/DOX-pep,formed after cross-linking of peptide,had a particle size of about 200 nm,which could release DOX slowly at low pH,and remained stable,safe and non-toxic in vitro for 7 days with low hemolysis rate,and its cellular uptake amount and nuclear targeting rate increased significantly after co-incubation with MMP. Conclusions Size-variable nanoparticles overcome size-induced delivery barriers to target and deliver drugs to the 4T1 nucleus,providing a new strategy for the design of nano delivery systems.
