PubReading [338] - A Systems Biology Approach to Investigate Kinase Signal Transduction Networks That Are Involved in Triple Negative Breast Cancer Resistance to Cisplatin - N. Mukherjee, A. Eustace et al.
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains a therapeutic challenge due to the lack of targetable genetic alterations and the frequent development of resistance to the standard cisplatin-based chemotherapies. Here, we have taken a systems biology approach to investigate kinase signal transduction networks that are involved in TNBC resistance to cisplatin. Treating a panel of cisplatin- sensitive and cisplatin-resistant TNBC cell lines with a panel of kinase inhibitors allowed us to reconstruct two kinase signalling networks that characterise sensitive and resistant cells. The analysis of these networks suggested that the activation of the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway is critical for cisplatin resistance. Experimental validation of the computational model predictions confirmed that TNBC cell lines wi ...
