Neurofibromin/NF1 is a RAS (rat sarcoma virus) GTPase activating protein and estrogen receptor (ER) transcriptional corepressor. NF1low status, identified by copy number loss or low mRNA/protein expression is associated with endocrine therapy resistance in approximately 20% of ER+/HER2− (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) early-stage breast cancers. The identification of targeted treatments for NF1low ER+/HER2− breast cancer is therefore a priority. In this study proteogenomic analysis of ER+/HER2− breast cancer demonstrated that NF1low tumors exhibited elevated cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) activity. In cell lines, NF1-deletion had a dual effect on CDK4 activity. First, by promoting ER recruitment to CCND1 …
