Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy among women worldwide.In recent years,immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)have emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy across different molecular subtypes of breast cancer,demonstrating significant clinical potential.This review systematically summarized the progress and clinical applications of ICIs in hormone receptor-positive(HR-positive),human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-overexpressing(HER2-positive),and triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC).In HR-positive breast cancer,the KEYNOTE-756 and CheckMate 7FL trials demonstrated that ICIs combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved the pathological complete response(pCR)rate,with greater benefits observed in programmed cell death-ligand 1(PD-L1)-positive patients.Furthermore,the PROMENADE study indicated that estrogen receptor(ER)-low HER2-negative breast cancer patients achieved a pCR rate closer to that of TNBC rather than HR-positive breast cancer following ICIs treatment.In metastatic HR-positive breast cancer,the SACI-IO and DOLAF studies suggested that ICIs combined with antibody-drug conjugates(ADC)or poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase(PARP)inhibitors may provide clinical benefits for specific subgroups of patients.For HER2-positive breast cancer,the Keyriched-1 and Neo-PATH studies revealed that ICIs combined with anti-HER2 therapy might improve pCR rates in HR-negative/HER2-positive patients.However,the Impassion-050 and KATE2 trials failed to demonstrate widespread clinical benefits of ICIs in HER2-positive breast cancer.In TNBC,long-term follow-up data from the KEYNOTE-522 study showed that ICIs combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy not only improved pCR rates but also conferred long-term survival benefits.Additionally,the Impassion-130,KEYNOTE-355,and TORCHLIGHT studies confirmed that ICIs combined with chemotherapy prolonged both progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)in PD-L1-positive advanced TNBC patients.Meanwhile,treatment strategies combining ICIs with anti-angiogenic therapy,PARP inhibitors and ADCs have demonstrated promising efficacy in TNBC(SPARK and BEGONIA trial).Currently,ICIs combined with chemotherapy remains the primary treatment approach,while combination strategies involving ICIs with anti-HER2 therapy,endocrine therapy,ADCs,and anti-angiogenic therapy are actively being explored.However,challenges remain,including complex resistance mechanisms,heterogeneous treatment responses,and the management of immune-related adverse events.Future research should focus on refining patient stratification strategies and developing more precise combination therapies to improve long-term survival outcomes for breast cancer patients.

Objective:To construct an in situ pancreatic tumor model in mice and explore the mechanism of neuromedin U (NMU) remodeling the metabolic microenvironment of pancreatic tumors via the Hedgehog signaling pathway.Methods:C57BL/6 NMU -/- heterozygous mice were bred in one cage with a female-to-male ratio of 2:1. The tail tissues of offspring rats were taken, and knockout primers were designed according to the sequence structure of NMU gene. The C57BL/6 NMU -/- mouse genotypes were identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and agarose gel electrophoresis. Five C57BL/6 NMU -/- homozygotes and five wild type mice aged 8 to 9 weeks were selected, and Panc02 cell suspension of pancreatic cancer in logarithmic growth phase was injected into pancreatic tail tissue to construct tumor bearing mice model of pancreatic tumor in situ. After 3 weeks of tumor loading, flow cytometry was used to detect the abundance changes of CD8 + T cells in the spleen tissues of two groups of mice. GSE102238 (data published in August 2017) and GSE62452 (data published in July 2016) datasets were download from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, including 119 samples of pancreatic cancer tissue and 111 samples of normal pancreatic tissue adjacent to cancer, and the differential expression factors of the two groups of samples were screened. R language limma package was used to analyze the differential expression of NMU mRNA in pancreatic cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues; the relative expression level of NMU mRNA in pancreatic cancer patients of different ages and tumor grades was analyzed by ggpubr package. The relative expression level data of NMU mRNA in pancreatic tumor patients were extracted, and the patients were divided into high expression group (>2.48) and low expression group (<2.48) based on the median value (2.48). The CIBERSORT algorithm was used to calculate the difference in the content of infiltrating immune cells in pancreatic tumors between the two groups of patients. The overall survival of patients with different relative expression levels of NMU mRNA in the OncoLnc database (59 cases in the high expression group and 59 cases in the low expression group) was compared. The data of 178 patients with pancreatic cancer in TCGA-PAAD of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database (updated in March 2024) were download. According to the median value of relative expression of NMU mRNA (2.740), the patients were divided into the high expression group (>2.740) and the low expression group (<2.740), with 89 cases in each group. GSEA software was used to analyze the biological functions and pathways in which the genes enriched significantly. The molecules and key targets for molecular docking were explored using the large molecule protein interaction tool PDBePISA. Spearman correlation analysis was performed using R language data packets. Results:The results of C57BL/6 NMU -/- mouse genotypes analyzed by using the gel electrophoresis pattern of PCR amplification products of tail tissues showed that the wild type was one 380 bp electrophoretic band, the homozygous type was one 450 bp electrophoretic band, and the heterozygous type was 450 bp and 380 bp electrophoretic bands. After identifying and screening pure strains mouse, reproduction was carried out, and C57BL/6 NMU -/- homozygous mice were successfully obtained. The results of flow cytometry analysis showed that the proportion of CD8 + T cells in the spleen tissues of C57BL/6 NMU -/- wild-type and homozygous pancreatic tumor bearing mice was (30.38±0.37)% and (37.00±0.48)%, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( t = 9.79, P < 0.001). The absolute values of CD8 + T cells were (8.36±0.27)×10 4 and (10.20±0.28)×10 4, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 3.71, P = 0.013). In the GEO database GSE102238 and GSE62452 datasets, there were differentially expressed genes in pancreatic cancer tissues compared with adjacent tissues, including 219 up-regulated genes and 325 down-regulated genes in pancreatic cancer tissues; among them, NMU was an upregulated differentially expressed gene. The relative expression of NMU mRNA in patients aged > 65 year or grade G3-G4 was higher than that in patients aged ≤ 65 years or grade G1-G2, and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.05). The analysis results of CIBERSORT algorithm showed that the expression abundance of CD8 + T cells, initial CD4 + T cells, activated memory CD4 + T cells, and γδ T cells in the high expression group of NMU was lower than that in the low expression group (all P < 0.05). The overall survival of the high expression group of NMU was worse than that of the low expression group in the OncoLnc database ( P = 0.010). GSEA enrichment analysis and Spearman correlation analysis revealed significant changes in the Hedgehog signaling pathway, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids and pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism, which affected tumor metabolic remodeling. Conclusions:NMU may remodel the tumor microenvironment of pancreatic cancer by regulating Hedgehog signaling pathway.
