Epithelial Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B Contributes to the Induction of Mammary Tumors by HER2/Neu but Is Not Essential for Tumor Maintenance
17 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), a well-established metabolic regulator, plays an important role in breast cancer. Using whole-body PTP1B knockout mice, recent studies have shown that PTP1B ablation delays HER2/Neu-induced mammary cancer. Whether PTP1B plays a cell-autonomous or a noncell-autonomous role in HER2/Neu-evoked tumorigenesis and whether it is involved in tumor maintenance was unknown. We...
