Constitutive activation of breast tumor kinase accelerates cell migration and tumor growth in vivo
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Breast tumor kinase (BRK) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase overexpressed in most human breast tumors, including lymph node metastases, but undetected in normal mammary tissue or in fibroadenomas. The activity of BRK-like Src family tyrosine kinase, is regulated negatively by phosphorylation of C-terminal tyrosine 447. Although the kinase that regulates BRK activation has not been identified, we and others have previously shown that BRK-Y447F is a constitutively active variant. Because BRK-Y447F significantly enhances the catalytic activity of the enzyme, we investigated the role of the constitutively active BRK variant in tumor formation and metastasis. Using stable breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231 we observed significantly enhanced rates of cell proliferation, migration and tumor formation in BRK-Y447F stable cells compared with wild-type stable cell lines. Our results indicate full activation of BRK is an essential component in the tumorigenic role of BRK.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
