Epigenetic Silencing of HER2 Expression during Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Leads to Trastuzumab Resistance in Breast Cancer

HER2 receptor tyrosine kinase (encoded by the ERBB2 gene) is overexpressed in approximately 25% of all breast cancer tumors (HER2-positive breast cancers). Resistance to HER2-targeting therapies is partially due to the loss of HER2 expression in tumor cells during treatment. However, little is known...
