Abstract
Breast cancer is known as the most common type of cancer found in women and a leading cause of cancer death in women, with the global incidence only increasing. Breast cancer in Malaysia is also unfortunately the most prevalent in Malaysian women. Many treatment options are available for breast cancer, but there is increasing resistance developed against treatment and increased recurrence risk, emphasizing the need for new treatment options. This review will focus on the applications of phage display screening in the context of breast cancer. Phage display screening can facilitate the drug discovery process by providing rapid screening and isolation of peptides that bind to targets of interest with high specificity. Peptides derived from phage display target various types of proteins involved in breast cancer, including HER2, C5AR1, p53 and PRDM14, either for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. Different approaches were employed as well to produce potential peptides using radiolabelling and conjugation techniques. Promising results were reported for in vitro and in vivo studies utilizing peptides derived from phage display screening. Further optimization of the protocols and factors to consider are required to mitigate the challenges involved with phage display screening of peptides for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
期刊介绍:
Life Sciences is an international journal publishing articles that emphasize the molecular, cellular, and functional basis of therapy. The journal emphasizes the understanding of mechanism that is relevant to all aspects of human disease and translation to patients. All articles are rigorously reviewed.
The Journal favors publication of full-length papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki or NIH guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research. The Journal welcomes reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences. We particularly encourage submission of brief, focused reviews containing high-quality artwork and require the use of mechanistic summary diagrams.
