The patient showed a response in her breast lesions to retinoic acid, arsenic and aracytin. Considering the case of the patient and the vicinity between RARA and HER2 genes, the study was extended to a clinical data set analysis to characterize RARA amplifications and expression in 103 breast cancer samples, together with an in vitro investigation of retinoic acid activity in breast cancer cell lines. Results showed that retinoic acid receptor alpha was gained or amplified in 27% of HER2-positive and 13% of HER2-negative breast cancer samples, and that retinoic acid receptor alpha can be co-amplified with HER2. All-trans-retinoic acid reduced cell viability of RARA-amplified, but not RARA-normal, cell lines through apoptosis. \u00abWe provide new evidence that a small subset of breast cancer patients present with RARA amplification that could be associated with sensitivity to retinoic acid derivatives in breast cancers\u00bb, authors say. \u00abRetinoic acid mechanism to induce apoptosis in these cells is mainly mediated by Interferon Regulatory Factor 1, which activates the caspase pathway. Our results suggest therefore a mechanistic basis for the synergistic antitumor activities of retinoic acid and interferons, arguing for combination therapies with trans-retinoic acid and nonspecific immunotherapy to eradicate tumor cells\u00bb. Based on these findings, researchers plan to open a phase II biomarker-driven trial, selecting patients with RARA amplification and evaluating the efficacy of retinoic acid when combined with trastuzumab in patients who are resistant to HER2 inhibitors.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2292&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;A small group of breast cancers with retinoic acid receptor alpha amplifications could be sensitive to retinoic acid&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]A new study published on<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2292,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2504","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
