By shotgun proteomics of decellularized human BCs, we found a significant enrichment in proteins involved in tumor-ECM interaction in E3G3 tumors. These tumors were characterized by high dense collagen deposition, a fibrillary cytoskeleton network and the highest stiffness. CLEC3A, a secreted C-type lectin domain family 3 member, was found unique of E3G3 tumors and was validated to be more expressed in these tumors by immunohistochemistry in 2 human BC cohorts, associating significantly with worse prognosis. Ectopic CLEC3A overexpression in MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-361, and MDA-MB-468 BC cells increased intracellular mediators of tumor adhesion to the ECM, actin-stress fibers and YAP activation, and tumor migration. Accordingly, levels of the YAP/TAZ gene signature were higher in CLEC3A-positive ECM3-enriched tumors and correlated with tumor stiffness.

Despite this progress, many unanswered questions remain regarding the sequencing of different ADCs with similar payloads, optimal combinations, drug design strategies to limit off-target toxicities, biomarkers to define antigen positivity, and the use of ADCs in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings. In this review, we summarize novel ADC approaches in breast cancer treatment, including potential improvements in ADC payloads, linkers, targets, and drug delivery. We also evaluate novel strategies to combine ADCs with other agents, such as targeted drugs and immune checkpoint inhibitors. To improve patient selection, the development of quantitative biomarkers is reviewed, including HER2 mRNA, immunofluorescence-based assays, mass spectrometry, liquid biopsies, digital pathology, and molecular imaging-based approaches. Lastly, we evaluate the potential to incorporate ADCs into the early-stage setting, including evaluating currently published and ongoing clinical trials. This review highlights the potential for ADCs to shift the treatment paradigm in both the advanced and early-stage settings.
