Since breast cancers often become resistant to therapies, and certain breast cancers lack therapeutic targets, new approaches are urgently required. A cell-stress response pathway, the unfolded protein response (UPR), has emerged as a promising target for the development of novel breast cancer treatments. This pathway is activated in response to a disturbance in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis but has diverse physiological and disease-specific functions. In breast cancer, UPR signalling promotes a malignant phenotype and can confer tumours with resistance to widely used therapies. Here, we review several roles for UPR signalling in breast cancer, highlighting UPR-mediated therapy resistance and the potential for targeting the UPR alone or in combination with existing therapies.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Max Essex Wen Xie Control of HIV-1C replication both in vivo and in vitro Abstract In this study, we established an HIV latency model using pluripotent stem cells in vitro. We found that a HIV accessory protein nef is responsible for full-length HIV silencing in human pluripotent stem cells. This effect is mediated by host factors NMT1, NMT2, Hck, PAK2, ACOT8. We further suggested that deprivation of host factors can only partially reactivate the virus. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on Botswana treatment-naïve AIDS patients infected by HIV-1C.
