Figures & data
Notes: Cell division and the cell cycle are tightly controlled by a number of positive and negative regulators. Mitogenic signals upregulate and activate cyclin D, resulting in the complexing of cyclin D with CDK4 or -6. These complexes facilitate the addition of phosphate groups (P) to RB leading ultimately to the release of bound E2F transcription factors and allowing the cell to divide. The CDKs and their cyclin partners are positive regulators of the cell cycle, while RB, other tumor suppressors (p16INK4, p15INK4b, p18INK4c, and p19INK4d), and the CDK-interacting protein/kinase inhibitory protein (Cip/Kip) family negatively regulate.
Abbreviations: AR, androgen receptor; CDK, cyclin-dependent kinase; ER, estrogen receptor; NF-κB, nuclear factor κB; PR, progesterone receptor; RB, retinoblastoma; R, restriction point; P, phosphate.

Notes: Bar graph of IC50 values (nM) and cell type. Cell lines are color coded by subtype: light blue, luminal; dark blue bars or stripes, HER2 amplified; yellow, non-luminal/undergone an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition; red, non-luminal; and turquoise, immortalized.
