CUI: C1306459
Disease: Primary malignant neoplasm
Primary malignant neoplasm
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE These data show that Epo induces phenotypic changes in the behavior of breast cancer cell lines and establishes links between individual cell signaling pathways and the potential for cancer spread. 20353997 2010

CUI: C1306459
Disease: Primary malignant neoplasm
Primary malignant neoplasm
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Our findings suggest that EpoR may be constitutively active in some cancer cells in the absence of Epo and provide the first evidence for a potential role of an Epo-independent, EpoR-mediated pathway in the growth of some human cancers. 19264915 2009
CUI: C1306459

CUI: C1306459
Disease: Primary malignant neoplasm
Primary malignant neoplasm
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE The erythropoietin receptor is not ubiquitinated following erythropoietin stimulation in this cancer cell line, and there is no turnover of the receptor in either unstimulated or stimulated cells. 17038666 2007

Disease: Primary malignant neoplasm
Primary malignant neoplasm
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE These experiments identify a novel pathway by which exogenously administered Epo, and Epo that is produced locally by cancer cells under hypoxic conditions, may stimulate cancer cell migration. 16207704 2005
