IRS4 induces mammary tumorigenesis and confers resistance to HER2-targeted therapy through constitutive PI3K/AKT-pathway hyperactivation

IRS proteins are scaffolds that can activate survival signalling pathways. In this study, the authors identified IRS4 as a potential oncogene in breast cancer that leads to the constitutive activation of PI3K/AKT signalling and thus confers resistance to HER2-targeted therapy.
