Its reporting after NACT is recommended by several guidelines, but evidence of its retained prognostic impact is scarce. Patients treated with NACT followed by surgery and having sufficient residual tumour for the determination of grade were analysed for the survival effects of posttreatment grade (yG). Kaplan-Meier analyses and the log-rank test were applied, followed by the univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. The cohort comprised 355 patients with known yG, and 320 of them had also a pretreatment grade available. Pretreatment grade changed in 99/320 (31 %) cases following NACT, and downgrading was more common (n=78/320, 24 %) than upgrading (21/320, 7 %). Among 355 breast cancer patients, those with yG3 (poorly differentiated) tumours (n=155) had worse 5-year relapse-free and overall survival estimates than those with yG2 (n=169) or yG1 (n=31) tumours. This was also substantiated by univariable analysis; however, yG lost its significance in the multivariable model. Post-NACT histological grade has a prognostic impact, but does not seem to be an independent prognosticator in the post-NACT setting; however, these results lend support for its reporting by pathologists after primary systemic treatment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19916,"journal":{"name":"Pathology, research and practice","volume":"265 ","pages":"Article 155732"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142701121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying such altered expression patterns are not yet fully understood. In this study, we focused on the role of the STAT3/CSE/H<sub>2</sub>S axis and the potential involvement of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including long and short ncRNAs, in modulating this pivotal pathway. The results revealed that STAT3 was upregulated and positively correlated with CSE expression in BC patients. Additionally, the lncRNA MALAT-1 was found to regulate STAT3 expression, indirectly influencing CSE levels. Furthermore, we explored the interplay between the IGF-1R as a gatekeeper for JAK/STAT pathway and accordingly its impact on the STAT3/CSE/H<sub>2</sub>S axis in TNBC cell lines. Our results demonstrated that miR-486–5p, a tumor suppressor miRNA, directly targets IGF-1R, leading to the downstream suppression of STAT3 and CSE in MDA-MB-231 cells. To identify a direct upstream repressor of CSE and CBS, we conducted an <em>in silico</em> analysis and identified miR-30a-5p as a promising candidate. When ectopically expressed, miR-30a-5p was downregulated in BC tissues and effectively suppressed CSE and CBS expression. In conclusion, this study revealed novel regulatory mechanisms involved in CSE and CBS expression in TNBC patients and cell lines.
