[摘要]：Despite the proven benefit of antiestrogen drugs in breast cancer treatment, resistant disease ultimately develops in advanced breast cancer. In this issue of Cancer Cell, lorns et al. find that loss of CDK10 expression promotes resistance of cells to tamoxifen and is associated with poor outcome in breast cancer patients treated with the drug. CDK10 loss increases the activity of the transcription factor ETS2 on the promoter of the RAF1 gene, elevating ERK/MAPK kinase pathway activity and relieving tamoxifen-induced G1 arrest. CDK10 is thus a potential biomarker for sensitivity in prospective clinical trials of patients treated with endocrine therapies. |
