ERBB2 Induces an Antiapoptotic Expression Pattern of Bcl-2 Family Members in Node-Negative Breast Cancer
12 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Members of the Bcl-2 family act as master regulators of mitochondrial homeostasis and apoptosis. We analyzed whether ERBB2 influences the prognosis of breast cancer by influencing the proapoptotic versus antiapoptotic balance of Bcl-2 family members. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: ERBB2-regulated Bcl-2 family members were identified by inducible expression of ERBB2 in MCF-7 breast cancer cells and by correlation...
