Summary:
Breast cancer is one of the most common of all cancers in women. This article discusses recent findings
about the understanding of causes and mechanics of breast cancer and its prevention strategies.
A recent research found that pepsinogen C (PGC) that belongs to aspartic protease family which is
secreted by gastric cells is linked to cancer development and progression. Another research published in
BMC indicates that penetration of the mammary gland membrane by cancer cells can lead to the
progression of tumor from the mammary glands to nearby tissues. These findings indicate that
peptidylarginine deiminase 2 can play a role in tge transfer and migration of breast cancer cells. Another
research on ductal carcinoma says that inhibition of peptidylarginine deiminase 2 activity can maintain
basement membrane integrity in xenograft tumors. PAD2 depletion or inhibition can suppress migration
of the cancer cells and alter their morphology.
