Lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2) a new regulator of cell polarity required for metastatic dissemination of basal-like breast carcinomas
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Basal-like breast carcinoma is characterized by the expression of basal/myoepithelial markers, undifferentiated phenotype, highly aggressive behaviour and a frequent triple negative status (ESR-, PR-, Her2neu-). We have previously shown that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) occurs in basal-like breast tumours and identified Lysyl- Oxidase-Like 2 (LOXL2) as an EMT player and a poor prognosis marker in squamous cell carcinomas. We now show that LOXL2 mRNA is overexpressed in basal-like human breast carcinomas. Identification of new molecular markers in basal breast carcinomas
