Combined Inhibition of mTOR and CDK4/6 Is Required for Optimal Blockade of E2F Function and Long-term Growth Inhibition in Estrogen Receptor–positive Breast Cancer
26 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The cyclin dependent kinase (CDK)–retinoblastoma (RB)–E2F pathway plays a critical role in the control of cell cycle in estrogen receptor–positive (ER+) breast cancer. Small-molecule inhibitors of CDK4/6 have shown promise in this tumor type in combination with hormonal therapies, reflecting the particular dependence of this subtype of cancer on cyclin D1 and E2F transcription factors. mTOR inhibitors...
