Characterizing and targeting PRMT5 in autophagy for cancer treatment
Abstract Breast cancer (BC) is the most diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in American women. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 15% to 20% of all BC cases and has the worst prognosis and overall survival. Although many targeted agents are ongoing clinical trials, none have significantly improved the survival in TNBC patients. Thus, the identification of novel targets and effective strategies, including combination therapies, are urgent needed for TNBC patients. PRMT5 is emerging as a potential therapeutic target. Several PRMT5 inhibitors have been developed and are currently being evaluated in clinical trials, including a phase II trial for…
