Verteporfin Inhibits Cell Proliferation and Induces Apoptosis in Different Subtypes of Breast Cancer Cell Lines Without Light Activation [post]

2020 unpublished
Breast cancer (BC) can be separated into four molecular subclassifications including Lumina1 A, Lumina1 B, HER-2 overexpression and Basal-like subtype. These classifications are based on estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) and cell proliferation antigen (Ki-67). The Hippo signaling pathway plays an indispensable role in BC. The YAP1 gene is a terminal effector of Hippo pathway, and hyperactivation of YAP mediates tumorigenesis. As

This study set out to determine the effect and molecular mechanisms of VP-mediated inhibition of YAP in different subtypes of BC.
