SHP2 is essential for the progesterone-promoted proliferation and migration in breast cancer cell lines by Hui-Chen Wang, Hui-Chen Wang, Wen-Sen Lee, Wen-Sen Lee, Wen-Sen Lee, Wen-Sen Lee

“…Small interfering RNA (siRNA) technique was used to knock down protein expression.ResultsKnockdown of SHP2 expression abolished the P4-promoted cell proliferation and migration in T47D, MCF and BT-483 cell lines, suggesting that presence of SHP2 is essential for the P4-increased proliferation and migration of breast cancer cell lines. P4 (50 nM) treatment increased the complex formations of PR-cSrc-SHP2-caveolin-1, SHP2-p140Cap, and SHP2-Csk, and the level of p-cSrcY416 (activated form of cSrc). …”
