<i>PIK3CA</i> and <i>PIK3CB</i> Inhibition Produce Synthetic Lethality when Combined with Estrogen Deprivation in Estrogen Receptor–Positive Breast Cancer
14 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Several phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) catalytic subunit inhibitors are currently in clinical trial. We therefore sought to examine relationships between pharmacologic inhibition and somatic mutations in PI3K catalytic subunits in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, in which these mutations are particularly common. RNA interference (RNAi) was used to determine the effect of selective inhibition of...
