LKB1 is a central regulator of tumor initiation and pro-growth metabolism in ErbB2-mediated breast cancer
14 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Germline and somatic mutations in STK11, the gene encoding the serine/threonine kinase LKB1, are strongly associated with tumorigenesis. While loss of LKB1 expression has been linked to breast cancer, the mechanistic role of LKB1 in regulating breast cancer development, metastasis, and tumor metabolism has remained unclear. METHODS: We have generated and analyzed transgenic mice expressing ErbB2 in...
