Excerpt

PLU-1/Jarid1B is a nuclear protein that is widely expressed in breast cancer, with higher levels being seen in ER+ cancers. Expression in normal adult issues is largely restricted to testis and the differentiating mammary gland. Through the JmjC domain the protein can demethylate H3K4me3, which correlates with its function as a transcriptional repressor. PLU-1/Jarid1B contains a DNA binding domain, and can be recruited to DNA through binding to transcription factors. We now find that the protein interacts with the ERα receptor and contributes to estrogen-induced survival of MCF-7 cells in in vitro culture and when grown as tumours in nude mice. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on antibody–drug conjugates in cancer

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel agents that have shown promise across multiple tumor types. Explore the current landscape of ADCs in breast and lung cancer with our experts, and gain insights into the mechanism of action, key clinical trials data, existing challenges, and future directions.
