[HTML][HTML] Characterisation of retinoblastomas without RB1 mutations: genomic, gene expression, and clinical studies

…, C Massey, R Godbout, Z Jiang, E Zacksenhaus… - The lancet …, 2013 - thelancet.com
Background Retinoblastoma is the childhood retinal cancer that defined tumour-suppressor
genes. Previous work shows that mutation of both alleles of the RB1 retinoblastoma …

E Zacksenhaus, Z Jiang, D Chung… - Genes & …, 1996 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Mice deficient for the RB gene (RB-/-), prior to death at embryonic day 14.5, show increased
cell death in all tissues that normally express RB1: the nervous system, liver, lens, and …

Identification of tumorsphere-and tumor-initiating cells in HER2/Neu-induced mammary tumors

JC Liu, T Deng, RS Lehal, J Kim, E Zacksenhaus - Cancer research, 2007 - AACR
A variety of human malignancies, including breast cancer, are thought to be organized in a
hierarchy, whereby a relatively minor population of tumor initiating cells (TIC) is responsible …

[HTML][HTML] Rb deletion in mouse mammary progenitors induces luminal-B or basal-like/EMT tumor subtypes depending on p53 status

…, TF Lane, CM Perou, E Zacksenhaus - The Journal of …, 2010 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease, with several different subtypes being
characterized by distinct histology, gene expression patterns, and genetic alterations. The tumor …

Cooperation between Pik3ca and p53 Mutations in Mouse Mammary Tumor Formation

…, W Wang, KL Wright, TF Lane, E Zacksenhaus… - Cancer research, 2011 - AACR
PIK3CA, which codes for the p110α catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, is one
of the most frequently mutated genes in human breast cancer. Here, we describe a mouse …

[HTML][HTML] RB1 deficiency in triple-negative breast cancer induces mitochondrial protein translation

…, A Schimmer, E Zacksenhaus - The Journal of …, 2016 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) includes basal-like and claudin-low subtypes for
which no specific treatment is currently available. Although the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor …

[HTML][HTML] Molecular stratification within triple-negative breast cancer subtypes

…, Z Jiang, Y Ben-David, JR Woodgett, E Zacksenhaus - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has been subdivided into six distinct subgroups: basal-like
1 (BL1), basal-like 2 (BL2), mesenchymal (M), mesenchymal stem–like (MSL), …

[PDF][PDF] Lunatic fringe deficiency cooperates with the Met/Caveolin gene amplicon to induce basal-like breast cancer

…, K Yoon, N Gaiano, V Ling, J Beyene, E Zacksenhaus… - Cancer cell, 2012 - cell.com
Basal-like breast cancers (BLBC) express a luminal progenitor gene signature. Notch
receptor signaling promotes luminal cell fate specification in the mammary gland, while …

Combined deletion of P ten and p53 in mammary epithelium accelerates triple‐negative breast cancer with dependency on e EF 2 K

…, M Tsao, TW Mak, E Zacksenhaus - EMBO molecular …, 2014 - embopress.org
The tumor suppressors Pten and p53 are frequently lost in breast cancer, yet the consequences
of their combined inactivation are poorly understood. Here, we show that mammary‐…
