SOX4 and SMARCA4 cooperatively regulate PI3k signaling through transcriptional activation of TGFBR2

Abstract Dysregulation of PI3K/Akt signaling is a dominant feature in basal-like or triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC). However, the mechanisms regulating this pathway are largely unknown in this subset of aggressive tumors. Here we demonstrate that the transcription factor SOX4 is a key regulato...
