Abstract excerpt
A genetic study was conducted to determine if activated Stat5a contributes to mammary carcinogenesis and to evaluate the mechanism. Similar to human breast cancers, a proportion of mammary adenocarcinomas in the WAP-TAg transgenic mouse model demonstrate constitutive Stat5a/b and Stat3 activation. Stat5a activation is linked to mammary epithelial cell survival and differentiation, and proliferation in...
