Abstract:Microbes and microbial products are being re-evaluated as potential therapeutic agents for breast cancer treatment. We previously observed the rapid induction of cell death in the mouse TNBC cell line 4T1, and mesenchymal TM12T, but not epithelioid TM12 cells, upon exposure to LT-IIc, a member of the bacterial type II subfamily of ADP-ribosylating toxins that bind to specific ganglioside subtypes. To test the hypothesis that LT-IIc may be effective against human breast cancer, we tested a panel of human breast… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
