Sensitivity and Acquired Resistance of BRCA1;p53-Deficient Mouse Mammary Tumors to the Topoisomerase I Inhibitor Topotecan
10 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
There is no tailored therapy yet for human basal-like mammary carcinomas. However, BRCA1 dysfunction is frequently present in these malignancies, compromising homology-directed DNA repair. This defect may serve as the tumor's Achilles heel and make the tumor hypersensitive to DNA breaks. We have evaluated this putative synthetic lethality in a genetically engineered mouse model for BRCA1-associated breast cancer,...
