Grb2 overexpression in nuclei and cytoplasm of human breast cells: a histochemical and biochemical study of normal and neoplastic mammary tissue specimens

Abstract excerpt

In 20-30 per cent of human breast cancers, the receptor tyrosine kinases epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and c-erbB2 are overexpressed. This overexpression leads to increased mitogenic signalling and is correlated with poor prognosis. Overexpression of associated adaptor proteins, like Grb2, can also induce upregulation of signalling pathways. In this study, the expression of the Grb2 adaptor protein was...
