PLAU and breast cancer: In vivo studies of mammary cancer (MNU-induced model, xenografts in the nu/nu Foxn1 mouse, and canine and human patients) have shown that I2 treatment increases the expression of NIS, PDS, LPO, and/or estrogen alpha receptors (ERα) and reduces the invasive and metastatic inducers like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), Bcl2, and SVV, indicating a consistent effect on differentiation [25,26,28,83].
