Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p27 Kip1 binds to the cyclin E· CDK2 complex and
plays a major role in controlling cell cycle and cell growth. Our group and others have
reported that anti-HER2 monoclonal antibodies exert inhibitory effects on HER2-
overexpressing breast cancers through G 1 cell cycle arrest associated with induction of p27
Kip1 and reduction of CDK2. The role of p27 Kip1 in anti-HER2 antibody-induced cell cycle
arrest and growth inhibition is, however, still uncertain. Here we have provided several lines …
