Abstract excerpt
HER2/neu, a receptor tyrosine kinase oncogene, promotes mitogenic growth and transformation of cancer cells. We previously identified that its oncogenic signals down-regulate the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27 Kip1, which is defined as a haplo-insufficient tumor suppressor. Here, we applied the human p27 gene as a novel anticancer agent for HER2/neu-overexpressing cells under the control of a tetracycline...
