Application of Gene Editing in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Research

Abstract

With the rapid development of gene editing technology, its application in breast cancer has gradually become the focus of research. This article reviews the application of gene editing technology in the treatment of breast cancer, and discusses its challenges and future development directions. The key application areas of gene editing technology in the treatment of breast cancer will be outlined, including the discovery of new therapeutic targets and the development of drugs related to the pathway. Gene editing technology has played an important role in the discovery of new therapeutic targets. Through the use of gene editing technology, breast cancer-related genes are systematically edited to regulate key regulatory factors on related pathways or key tumor suppressor genes such as FOXC1 and BRCA, and the results are analyzed in cell or animal experiments, and the target is obtained from the experimental results, which provides important clues for the development of new drugs. This approach provides an innovative way to find more effective treatment strategies and inhibit tumor growth. In addition, gene editing technology has also promoted the personalization of breast cancer treatment. By analyzing a patient's genomic information, researchers can pinpoint key genetic mutations in a patient's tumor and design personalized treatments. This personalized treatment approach is expected to improve the therapeutic effect and reduce adverse reactions. Finally, the application of gene editing technology also provides support for the development of breast cancer immunotherapy. By editing immune cells to make them more potent against tumors, researchers are trying to develop more effective immunotherapies to bring new treatment options to breast cancer patients.
