Abstract excerpt
Two related receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 and 2 (FGFR1 and FGFR2), exert distinct effects during carcinogenesis. To examine FGFR1 and FGFR2 signaling in polarized epithelia, we have developed an in vitro three-dimensional HC11 mouse mammary epithelial cell culture model combined with a chemically inducible FGFR (iFGFR) dimerization system. Although activation of both RTKs...
