in breast cancer cells resulted
in decreased
expression of genes
in the JAK / STAT and
cytokine /
cytokine receptor pathway signatures, which may be due to decreased STAT5A mRNA
expression and reduced STAT5 phosphorylation
in ABL1 / ABL2 - depleted breast cancer cells.
Further, inactivation of the ABL kinases resulted

expression of the genes
in the Hippo, Janus kinase (JAK) / STAT, and
