Modeling ERBB receptor-regulated G1/S transition to find novel targets for de novo trastuzumab resistance
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In breast cancer, overexpression of the transmembrane tyrosine kinase ERBB2 is an adverse prognostic marker, and occurs in almost 30% of the patients. For therapeutic intervention, ERBB2 is targeted by monoclonal antibody trastuzumab in adjuvant settings; however, de novo resistance to this antibody is still a serious issue, requiring the identification of additional targets to overcome resistance.
