Abstract excerpt
Current evidence suggests that HER2-driven tumorigenesis requires HER3. This is likely due to the unique ability of HER3 to activate PI3K/Akt pathway signaling, which is not directly accessible to HER2. By genetic elimination of HER3 or shRNA knockdown of HER3 in HER2-amplified cancer cells, we find residual HER2-driven activation of PI3K/Akt pathway signaling that is driven by HER2 through direct and indirect...
