Abstract excerpt
More than 20 different PIK3CA gene mutations were identified in breast cancer with different frequencies. Whether these breast cancer associated mutations have similar biological effects is largely unknown. In this study, we established a novel cell model using the lentivirus system to express 10 different PIK3CA genes (wild type and mutant) based on the human mammary epithelial cell MCF10A. We found that nine...
