Description

One of the most common cancers affecting women's health globally is breast cancer, which has a prominent tendency to recur and spread to other parts of the body. After the cell transitions from a quiescent to an active state, tumour initiation and progression start, and several mechanisms must work together to control the expression of a particular collection of spectral genes. Due to their ability to self-renew and differentiate, Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) have been shown to start and propel carcinogenesis. CSCs are also thought to be able to promote metastasis, recurrence, and resistance to anti-tumor medications [1].

In order to create Breast Cancer Stem Cell (BCSC)-targeted therapy options, it is crucial to understand the genesis, regulatory mechanisms, and ultimate fate decision of CSCs in breast cancer outcomes. In this study, they will focus on the role BCSCs play in breast cancer and examine both internal and extrinsic factors that affect BCSC fate. The mammary gland, a highly dynamic organ that creates and secretes milk to nurture offspring, goes through several stages of remodelling over the course of a female's lifetime and is made up of two primary components: the parenchyma and surrounding stroma [2].

The primary cell types in the parenchyma are epithelial, glandular, and myoepithelial cells, which are found in the inner layer of milk ducts, the glandular cells that make up the alveoli, which secrete milk as their primary function during lactation, and the myoepithelial cells that make up the basement membrane, which typically encircles or distinguishes the epithelial cells from the glandular cells. Estradiol, progesterone, and prolactin are only a few examples of the hormones and growth factors that control the mammary gland's ability to proliferate and differentiate [3].

Mammary gland development can be roughly divided into six developmental stages: embryonic stage, birth to early sexual maturity, sexual maturity, pregnancy, lactation, and involution. Additionally, each estrous/menstrual cycle can trigger mammary cell expansions and/or differentiation based on local and systemic stimuli. Because a hierarchical array of Mammary Stem Cells (MaSCs) and Progenitor Cells (PCs) are positioned in the organ, which maintains homeostasis under physiological conditions, the mammary gland exhibits such evident periodicity. Cell lineage identification and maturation are the first two steps in the two-step process of MaSC differentiation [4].

All of the mammary glands mature cell types, including ductal, alveolar, and myoepithelial, can be produced by these cells, and the main outgrowths contain daughter cells that have the same capacity for regeneration as the original stem cells. As a result, these cells exhibit both multidirectional differentiation and the capacity for self-renewal, which are characteristics of stem cells. Different processes are needed to coordinate and control the expression of a certain set of lineage genes in order for stem cell destiny decisions, which start after the cells differentiate from a quiescent to an active state, to take place. Although stem cells are vital for researching the mechanisms of organogenesis and cell differentiation as well as for the regeneration of the mammary gland, their aberrant differentiation and proliferation can result in cancers [5].

They now know that BCSCs are a tiny group of cancer cells with the ability to self-renew and differentiate, and they play a role in regulating tumour heterogeneity, recurrence, metastasis, and therapy resistance. According to recent studies, BCSCs are a desirable target for combating resistance and recurrence in the clinical treatment of breast cancer. Fortunately, BCSCs express their own unique markers that can promptly inform posttherapeutic local biopsies of treatable targets for any remaining tumour tissue based on variable biomarkers, enabling the choice of targets for the application of tailored and accurate second-line therapy.

A new approach to preventing tumour recurrence is specifically provided by the development of the breast cancer stem cell concept, which focuses on biomarkers of BCSCs in the posttreatment period. Further consideration must be given to the possibility that BCSCs and normal tissue stem cells both display overlapping biomarkers and signalling pathways.
