JAC1 suppresses proliferation of breast cancer through the JWA/p38/SMURF1/HER2 signaling

Abstract The overexpression of HER2 is associated with a malignant proliferation of breast cancer. In this study, we developed a non-cytotoxic JWA gene activating compound 1 (JAC1) to inhibit the proliferation of HER2-positive breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo experimental models. JAC1 increa...
