Abstract
Abstract An increase in PTHrP circulating levels is associated with breast cancer recurrence and reduced survival. Despite the frequent association of PTHrP dysregulation with many tumor types, a precise and direct role for PTHrP in cancer development and progression has been difficult to prove, and its involvement in tumor initiation in vivo and in critical steps of malignant conversion is not clear. In this study, mice carrying a conditional PTHrP allele were crossed with the PyVMT transgenic mouse mammary tumor model and then with a separate transgenic strain expressing Cre in the mammary epithelium (MMTV/Cre). Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) were detectable in animals with PyVMT-PTHrPflox/flox-Cre−phenotype but not in animals with PyVMT-PTHrPflox/flox-Cre+ phenotype. The invasive ability in vitro of PyVMT-PTHrPflox/flox-Cre+cells was reduced by over 80% (P<0.001) as compared to control cells (PyVMT-PTHrP flox/flox-Cre−). Metastatic spread to lungs was seen in 100% of animals with PyVMT-PTHrP flox/flox-Cre− phenotype but none of the animals with PyVMT-PTHrP flox/flox-Cre+ phenotype. AKT1 and CXCR4 expression by Western blot and confocal microscope in both isolated cells and tumors from both genotypes. Akt 1 and CXCR4 expression by Western blot and immunofluorescence were markedly reduced (over 80% P<0.001) in PyVMT-PTHrPflox/flox-Cre+cells and tumors as compared to PyVMT-PTHrPflox/flox-Cre− cells and tumors. Anti-PTHrP neutralizing mAbs significantly inhibited matrigel invasion by human MDA-MB-435 breast cancer and their growth in vivo when injected into the MFPs of BALB/c nu/nu mice. After 6 weeks, approximately 100% of control animals presented lung metastases in contrast with 33% for mAb-treated mice the mAbs antibody reduced the expression of CXCR4 and AKT1 in mammary tumours by over 80% these results suggest that anti-PTHrP antibodies can be considered for therapeutic use against human breast cancer progression. Overall,our study demonstrates that PTHrP plays a crucial role in metastatic spread possibly by altering critical checkpoint of cancer progression and suggest its potential usefulness to prevent progression and recurrence of breast cancer. These results also suggest that anti-PTHrP antibodies can be considered for therapeutic use against human breast cancer progression. Citation Format: Jiarong Li, Andrew C. Karaplis, Dao C.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
