In breast cancer cells, the ABL kinases activated the transcriptional coactivator TAZ and the transcription factor STAT5, which triggered the transcription of genes encoding factors that activate osteoclasts (cells that break down bone) and those that enhance
the survival of breast cancer cells in the bone microenvironment.
Our mission is to support for the long term
survival of breast cancer and enable our patients to live longer and happier.
To directly examine whether ABL kinases play a role in regulating the colonization and
survival of breast cancer cells in the bone microenvironment, we injected control or ABL1 / ABL2 knockdown breast cancer cells directly into the tibia of immunodeficient mice.
