Trastuzumab-resistant cells rely on a HER2-PI3K-FoxO-survivin axis and are sensitive to PI3K inhibitors
Excerpt:
We treated a panel of trastuzumab-resistant HER2 gene-amplified human breast cancer cells with the pan-PI3K inhibitor XL147...Treatment with XL147 + trastuzumab but not CI-1040 + trastuzumab inhibited monolayer (Fig. 1A) and 3D growth (Fig. 1B) in all resistant lines.
