Forty subjects (20 females, 20 males) performed ten headers, and impact kinematics, including peak angular acceleration and velocity (PAA, PAV) and peak linear acceleration (PLA), were measured using mouthguards. Video recordings verified impacts and impact locations. Participants' head mass was estimated from their weights.

Females showed significantly higher PAA and PLA components but no significant differences in PAV. Impact location significantly influenced PAV, showing higher magnitudes for frontal impacts compared to top-front impacts, with no significant effects on PAA and PLA.

Improved understanding of molecular drivers in the metastatic cascade is crucial, to find accurate prognostic markers for invasiveness after chemotherapy treatment. Current breast cancer chemotherapy treatments include doxorubicin and paclitaxel, inducing various effects, such as the unfolded protein response (UPR). The key regulator of the UPR is the 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78), which is associated with metastatic disease, although, its expression level in the context of invasiveness is still controversial. We evaluate doxorubicin effects on TNBC cells, identifying GRP78 subpopulations linked to invasiveness. Specifically, we evaluate the motility and invasiveness of GRP78 positive vs. negative cell subpopulations by two different assays: the in vitro Boyden chamber migration assay and our innovative, rapid (2-3 h) clinically relevant, mechanobiology-based invasiveness assay. We validate chemotherapy-induced increase in the subpopulation of cell-surface GRP78(+) in two human, metastatic TNBC cell lines: MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468. The GRP78(+) cell subpopulation exhibits reduced invasiveness and metastatic potential, as compared to whole-population control and to the GRP78(-) cell subpopulation, which are both highly invasive. Thus, using our innovative, clinically relevant assay, we rapidly (on clinical timescale) validate that GRP78(-) cells are likely linked with invasiveness, yet also demonstrate that combination of the GRP78(+) and GRP78(-) cells could increase the overall metastatic potential. Our results and approach could provide patient-personalized predictive marker for the expected benefits of chemotherapy in TNBC patients and potentially reveal non-responders to chemotherapy while also allowing evaluation of the clinical risk for metastasis.</p>","PeriodicalId":7986,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Biomedical Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142930470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
