Li, Viswanadhapalli et al utilized multiple in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo models of TNBC to investigate LIFR inhibition. The authors reported that HDAC inhibition in TNBC cells led to an increase of LIFR expression and over activation of the downstream signaling elements (e.g., STAT3, mTOR, AKT), enhancing the aggressive potential of TNBC cells, and an LIFR inhibitor, EC359, synergistically enhanced the efficacy of HADC inhibitors in suppressing TNBC in vitro and in vivo.
