EGFR ligands dictate tumour suppression

Abstract

Amplification of EGFR occurs frequently in glioblastoma. Canonically, EGFR is an oncogene with a major role in cancer pathogenesis. A new study posits a tumor suppressive role of EGFR in EGFR-amplified glioblastoma, regulated by ligand abundance. Increased EGFR ligand in EGFR-amplified glioblastoma suppresses invasion by upregulation of BIN3, inhibiting activation of Rho GTPases.
