STAT3 activation in HER2-overexpressing breast cancer promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cell traits
29 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
Clinically, HER2 proto-oncogene amplification is found in about 25-30% of human breast cancers, where it is correlated to a poor prognosis. Constitutive STAT3 activation is found in about 50-60% of the breast tumors and associated with tumorigenesis and drug resistance. In this study, we showed that STAT3 was phosphorylated in HER2-overexpressing, ER-positive human breast tumors and, furthermore, phosphorylated...
