Recently, an RNA interference screen identified regulators of fat metabolism (including the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor [PPAR]γ-binding protein [PBP] and the nuclear receptor NR1D1 [nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group D, member 1], a PPARγ target protein) as being relevant to the survival specifically of ERBB2-positive breast cancer cells, but not that of other breast cancer cells or normal mammary epithelial cells (Kourtidis A, Carkner RD, Eifert C, Brosnan MJ, Conklin DS; unpublished data). Here, NR1D1 is linked to breast cancer.
