Significantly, CD44+/CD24−/Low CSCs displayed resistance to conventional chemotherapy but higher sensitivity to SU9516, a specific cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) inhibitor, demonstrating that aberrant activation of cyclin E/Cdk2 oncogenic signaling is essential for the maintenance and expansion of CD44+/CD24−/Low CSC subpopulation in IBC. This evidence concerns the gene CD44 and inflammatory breast carcinoma.
