Abstract |
Different molecular changes have been previously associated with therapeutic response and recurrent disease, however, the detailed mechanism of action in triple-negative breast cancer subtype remains elusive. In this study, we investigated the cellular and molecular signaling of two claudin-low triple-negative breast cancer cells to doxorubicin and docetaxel treatment. Whole human transcriptomic evaluation was used to identify the subsequent changes in gene expression, while biological effects were measured by means of proliferation and anchorage-independent growth assays. Microarray analysis revealed changes in stem cell-related signaling pathways, suggesting that doxorubicin treatment affects the balance between self-renewal and differentiation. While the treatment reduced the proliferation, aggregation and mammosphere forming ability of stem-like cells derived from Hs578T cell line, stem-like cells derived from MDA-MB-231 cells were not significantly affected. Our results suggest that claudin-low triple-negative breast cancer cells might predominantly alter stem cell-related signaling pathways to promote stem-like cells activity as an innate resistance mechanism to doxorubicin treatment. |
