DRI_Background |
denotes |
Inhibition of the transition of ductal carcinoma in situ to invasive ductal carcinoma by a Gemini vitamin D analog. |
T2 |
116-253 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a nonmalignant lesion of the breast with the potential to progress to invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). |
T3 |
254-421 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The disappearance and breakdown of the myoepithelial cell layer and basement membrane in DCIS have been identified as major events in the development of breast cancer. |
T4 |
422-549 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
The MCF10DCIS.com cell line is a well-established model, which recapitulates the progression of breast cancer from DCIS to IDC. |
T5 |
550-776 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
We have previously reported that a novel Gemini vitamin D analog, 1α,25-dihydroxy-20R-21(3-hydroxy-3-deuteromethyl-4,4,4-trideuterobutyl)-23-yne-26,27-hexafluoro-cholecalciferol (BXL0124) is a potent inhibitor of the growth of |

DRI_Approach |
denotes |
tumors without hypercalcemic toxicity. |
T8 |
842-981 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
In this study, we utilized the MCF10DCIS.com in vivo model to assess the effects of BXL0124 on breast cancer progression from weeks 1 to 4. |
T9 |
982-1186 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Upon DCIS progression to IDC from weeks 3 to 4, tumors lost the myoepithelial cell layer and basement membrane as shown by immunofluorescence staining with smooth muscle actin and laminin 5, respectively. |
T10 |
1187-1374 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Administration of BXL0124 maintained the critical myoepithelial cell layer as well as basement membrane, and animals treated with BXL0124 showed a 43% reduction in tumor volume by week 4. |
T11 |
1375-1473 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
BXL0124 treatment decreased cell proliferation and maintained vitamin D receptor levels in tumors. |
T12 |
1474-1636 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
In addition, the BXL0124 treatment reduced the mRNA levels of matrix metalloproteinases starting at week 3, contributing to the inhibition of invasive transition. |
T13 |
1637-1816 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Our results suggest that the maintenance of DCIS plays a significant role in the cancer preventive action of the Gemini vitamin D BXL0124 during the progression of breast lesions. |
