ErbB2-driven downregulation of the transcription factor Irf6 in breast epithelial cells is required for their 3D growth

Abstract Background The ability of solid tumor cells to resist anoikis, apoptosis triggered by cell detachment from the extracellular matrix (ECM), is thought to be critical for 3D tumor growth. ErbB2/Her2 oncoprotein is often overproduced by breast tumor cells and blocks their anoikis by partially...
