Regulation of focal adhesion turnover by ErbB signalling in invasive breast cancer cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A crucial early event by which cancer cells switch from localised to invasive phenotype is initiated by the acquisition of autonomous motile properties; a process driven by dynamic assembly and disassembly of multiple focal adhesion (FA) proteins, which mediate cell-matrix attachments, extracellular matrix degradation, and serve as traction sites for cell motility. We have reported previously that cancer cell invasion induced by overexpression of members of the ErbB tyrosine kinase receptors, including ErbB2, is dependent on FA signalling through FA kinase (FAK). Here, we show that ErbB2 receptor signalling regulates FA turnover, and cell migration and invasion through the Src-FAK pathway. Inhibition of the Src-FAK signalling in ErbB2-positive cells by Herceptin or RNA interference selectively regulates FA turnover, leading to enhanced number and size of peripherally localised adhesions and inhibition of cell invasion. Inhibition of ErbB2 signalling failed to regulate FA and cell migration and invasion in cells lacking FAK or Src but gains this activity after restoration of these proteins. Taken together, our results show a regulation of FA turnover by ErbB2 signalling.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
