Targeting the BRD4/FOXO3a/CDK6 axis sensitizes AKT inhibition in luminal breast cancer

The molecular mechanism underlying the resistance of AKT inhibitors in breast cancer is still elusive. Here, the authors demonstrate that BRD4/FOXO3a axis upregulates CDK6 promoter activity to promote resistance to AKT inhibition in breast cancer cells and that blocking the action of CDK6 re-sensiti...
