Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has a faster rate of metastasis compared to other breast cancer subtypes and no effective targeted therapies are currently FDA-approved. Recent data indicate that the androgen receptor (AR) promotes tumor survival and may serve as a potential therapeutic target in TNBC. Studies of AR in disease progression and the systemic effects of anti-androgens have been hindered by the lack of an AR-positive (AR+) immunocompetent preclinical model. In this study we identified the transgenic MMTV-PyMT (mouse mammary tumor virus-polyoma middle tumor antigen) mouse mammary gland carcinoma model of breast cancer and Met-1 cells derived from this model …
