The ErbB2ΔEx16 splice variant is a major oncogenic driver in breast cancer that promotes a pro-metastatic tumor microenvironment
Amplification and overexpression of erbB2/neu proto-oncogene is observed in 20–30% human breast cancer and is inversely correlated with the survival of the patient. Despite this, somatic activating mutations with...

Inhibition of NF-kappa B activity in mammary epithelium increases tumor latency and decreases tumor burden
The transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is activated in human breast cancer tissues and cell lines. However, it is unclear whether NF-κB activation is a consequence of tumor formation or a cont...

The Ras oncogene signals centrosome amplification in mammary epithelial cells through cyclin D1/Cdk4 and Nek2
Centrosome amplification (CA) contributes to carcinogenesis by generating aneuploidy. Elevated frequencies of CA in most benign breast lesions and primary tumors suggest a causative role for CA in breast cance...

Transgenic overexpression of IGF-IR disrupts mammary ductal morphogenesis and induces tumor formation
Overexpression and hyperactivation of the type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) has been observed in human breast tumor biopsies. In addition, in vitro studies indicate that overexpression of IGF-IR...
