  • CRYBETAB2 PREDICTS POOR BREAST CANCER OUTCOME AND SENSITIZES TUMORS TO NUCLEOLIN AND CDK INHIBITION
    Publication number: 20230160018
    Abstract: CKYPB2 induces EMT, sternness, protein synthesis and cell cycle progression through regulation of nucleolin, con-tributing to an increase in tumor growth and metastasis. CKYPB2 can be used as a prognostic marker in African American women with TNBC. CKYPB2 can further select patients with TNBC and ER positive tumors that will likely benefit from inhibitors of ribosomal RNA synthesis, CDK4 and nucleolin.
