PFAS is associated with perineural invasion in triple-negative breast cancer with a potential role for Cathepsin D dysregulation: a multi-omics and experimental study.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent pollutants linked to breast cancer (BC), but their role in perineural invasion (PNI) of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is unclear. Cathepsin D (CTSD), a lysosomal protease, is hypothesized to mediate PFAS-induced PNI, though systematic evidence is lacking. We integrated multi-omics data from TCGA-BRCA, METABRIC, and single-cell RNA-se...

Targeting tumor-associated G-protein coupled receptors: beyond single-axis inhibition toward multidimensional regulation.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) serve as central hubs in tumor signal transduction and microenvironment regulation. However, their therapeutic exploitation is confounded by a fundamental complexity: GPCR functions are exquisitely context-dependent, varying across cell types and spatial locations within the heterogeneous tumor microenvironment. A single receptor may drive malignant proliferatio...
