Conditional Loss of ErbB3 Delays Mammary Gland Hyperplasia Induced by Mutant PIK3CA without Affecting Mammary Tumor Latency, Gene Expression, or Signaling

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in PIK3CA, the gene encoding the p110α catalytic subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), have been shown to transform mammary epithelial cells (MEC). Studies suggest this transforming activity requires binding of mutant p110α via p85 to phosphorylated YXXM motifs in activated receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) or adaptors. Using transgenic mice, we examined if ErbB3, a potent activator of PI3K, is...
