A research team led by Associate Professor Lijun DI in the Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS) at the University of Macau (UM) has made a significant breakthrough in the study of therapeutic resistance in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The team discovered a mechanism that enables cancer cells to evade ferroptosis—an iron-dependent form of cell death—thereby reducing the effectiveness of cancer treatments. The study identified a stress-induced antioxidant signalling axis that allows TNBC cells to evade ferroptosis, thereby driving tumour aggressiveness and treatment resistance. This discovery reveals a new therapeutic vulnerability in cancer cells and provides a promising therapeutic target for enhancing treatment response and developing more effective personalised therapies for patients with TNBC. The findings have been published in the prestigious international journal Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research.

澳門大學健康科學學院副教授狄利俊帶領的研究團隊在三陰性乳癌治療抗藥性研究方面取得重大突破。該研究發現癌細胞會啟動一套抗氧化保護機制，抵擋能夠殺死癌細胞的“鐵死亡”（一種依賴鐵離子的細胞死亡形式），令治療效果大打折扣；團隊透過針對癌細胞的抗氧化防禦機制，找出全新治療弱點，發現癌細胞防護系統的弱點與可用於臨床治療的新靶點，為難治、惡性程度高的三陰性乳癌研發更精準的個人化治療方案。相關研究成果已發表於國際權威期刊《實驗與臨床癌症研究雜誌》(Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research)。詳情可瀏覽:https://fhs.um.edu.mo/zh-hant/um-fhs-research-team-uncovers-resistance-mechanism-in-triple-negative-breast-cancer-to-enhance-treatment-efficacy/

A research team led by Kathy Qian LUO, Professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS) at the University of Macau (UM), has uncovered the molecular pathway behind a deadly paradox in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Fluid shear stress (SS), the mechanical force exerted by blood flow on circulating cancer cells, is known to kill many tumour cells during metastasis. However, it also causes surviving cells to become more aggressive. The study shows that brief exposure to pulsatile shear stress (SS) rapidly increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through calcium channels, leading to the activation of the transcription factor FOS and enhanced metastatic potential, thereby identifying the SS-calcium channel-ROS-FOS axis as a promising therapeutic target for combating the spread of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The research findings have been published in the international journal International Journal of Biological Sciences.

澳門大學健康科學學院教授羅茜帶領的研究團隊成功解析三陰性乳腺癌（TNBC）中一個致命悖論背後的分子通路。血流作用於迴圈腫瘤細胞的機械力——流體剪切應力（SS），長期被認為能在轉移過程中殺死大量腫瘤細胞，但令人費解的是，存活細胞反而更具侵襲性。該研究表明，短暫的脈動式剪切應力可通過鈣通道快速提升腫瘤細胞內活性氧（ROS）水準，進而啟動轉錄因數FOS並增強轉移潛能，由此將SS–鈣通道–ROS–FOS軸確立為抑制三陰性乳腺癌擴散的潛在治療靶點。相關研究成果已發表於國際期刊《國際生物科學雜誌》（International Journal of Biological Sciences）。詳情可瀏覽:https://fhs.um.edu.mo/zh-hant/um-research-team-uncovers-new-mechanism-for-inhibiting-breast-cancer-metastasis/
