High levels of luteinizing hormone analog stimulate gonadal and adrenal tumorigenesis in mice transgenic for the mouse inhibin-α-subunit promoter/Simian virus 40 T-antigen fusion gene
Transgenic (TG) mice expressing the Simian virus 40 T-antigen under the control of the murine inhibin-α promoter (Inhα/Tag) develop granulosa and Leydig cell tumors at the age of 5–6 months, with 100% penetrance....

Gene expression profiling of cancer progression reveals intrinsic regulation of transforming growth factor-β signaling in ErbB2/Neu-induced tumors from transgenic mice
Upregulation of HER2/ErbB2/Neu occurs in 15–30% of human breast cancers and correlates with poor prognosis. Identification of ErbB2/Neu transcriptional targets should facilitate development of novel therapeuti...

Open AccessIntrinsic bias in breast cancer gene expression data sets
While global breast cancer gene expression data sets have considerable commonality in terms of their data content, the populations that they represent and the data collection methods utilized can be quite disp...

Hypomethylation of the MMP7 promoter and increased expression of MMP7 distinguishes the basal-like breast cancer subtype from other triple-negative tumors
Identification of novel targets for the treatment of basal-like breast cancer is essential for improved outcomes in patients with this disease. This study investigates the association of MMP7 expression and MMP7 ...

Open AccessFollistatin is a metastasis suppressor in a mouse model of HER2-positive breast cancer
Follistatin (FST) is an intrinsic inhibitor of activin, a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily of ligands. The prognostic value of FST and its family members, the follistatin-like (FSTL) prot...

Expression of LC3B and FIP200/Atg17 in brain metastases of breast cancer
Macroautophagy/autophagy is considered to play key roles in tumor cell evasion of therapy and establishment of metastases in breast cancer. High expression of LC3, a residual autophagy marker, in primary breas...

Open AccessKLF4 defines the efficacy of the epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor, erlotinib, in triple-negative breast cancer cells by repressing the EGFR gene
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by high rates of recurrence and poor overall survival. This is due, in part, to a deficiency of targeted therapies, making it essential to identify therape...
