Abstract excerpt
The overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and HER-2 underpin the growth of aggressive breast cancer; still, it is unclear what governs the regulation of these receptors. Our laboratories recently determined that the Y-box binding protein-1 (YB-1), an oncogenic transcription/translation factor, induced breast tumor cell growth in monolayer and in soft agar. Importantly, mutating YB-1 at...
