Blockade of TGF-β inhibits mammary tumor cell viability, migration, and metastases

TL;DR: Blockade of TGF-β signaling may reduce tumor cell viability and migratory potential and represents a testable therapeutic approach against metastatic carcinomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human breast cancer cells selected for resistance to trastuzumab in vivo overexpress epidermal growth factor receptor and ErbB ligands and remain dependent on the ErbB receptor network.

TL;DR: The results are consistent with the inability of trastuzumab to block the heterodimerization of HER2 and suggest that amplification of ligand-induced activation of ErbB receptors is a plausible mechanism of acquired resistance to trastzumab that should be investigated in primary mammary cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

TGF-β inhibition enhances chemotherapy action against triple-negative breast cancer

TL;DR: Analysis of RNA expression in matched pairs of primary breast cancer biopsies before and after chemotherapy suggests that chemotherapy-induced TGF-β signaling enhances tumor recurrence through IL-8-dependent expansion of CSCs and that T GF-β pathway inhibitors prevent the development of drug-resistant C SCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of TGF-β with neutralizing antibodies prevents radiation-induced acceleration of metastatic cancer progression

TL;DR: Analysis of the MMTV/PyVmT transgenic model of metastatic breast cancer shows that administration of ionizing radiation or doxorubicin caused increased circulating levels of TGF-beta1 as well as increased circulating tumor cells and lung metastases, which implicate T GF-beta induced by anticancer therapy as a pro-metastatic signal in tumor cells.
