ErbB Receptors and ErbB Targeted Therapies in Endometrial Cancer
The Epidermal Growth Factor system is present in human organs and plays an important role in cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis during embryogenesis and postnatal development. It has four receptors (EGFR, ErbB-2, ErbB-3 and ErbB-4) and numerous ligands.

C-erbB-2 Expression in Primary Breast Cancer
c-erbB-2 is an oncoprotein which is overexpressed in up to 40% of primary breast cancers. c-erbB-2 overexpression is a bad prognostic factor in patients with lymph node-positive disease.

An investigation of the role of the ErbB receptor family in chemotherapeutic drug resistance and invasion in human breast cancer [PDF]
The purpose of the work described in this thesis was to investigate the effects of upregulation of c-erbB-2 by cDNA transfection and the downregulation by ribozyme transfection on chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity, in vitro invasion, and expression of a ...

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Family and its Role in Gastric Cancer
Despite the gradual decrease in incidence, gastric cancer is still the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Although chemotherapy enhances overall survival and quality of life in advanced disease, the median overall survival is < 12 months ...

Sclerostin–erbB-3 interactions: Modulation of erbB-3 activity by sclerostin [PDF]
To gain insights into the mechanism of action of sclerostin, a protein that regulates bone mass, we performed yeast two-hybrid analyses using human SOST (sclerostin) cDNA cloned into pGBKT7 DNA-binding domain vector as a bait, and a normalized, high-complexity, universal cDNA library in a GAL4 activating domain vector.

PQB‐4, a fluorescent small‐molecule ligand that targets c‐MYC DNA G‐quadruplexes (G4s), showed marked synergy with gemcitabine in resistant PANC‐1 cells (CI = 0.027). In vivo, the ligand reduced tumor weight by 44% in a PANC‐1 xenograft model. These results highlight the therapeutic potential of c‐MYC DNA G4‐targeting ligands for treating gemcitabine ...
