Mechanism of IL-4 mediated RPL19 promoting malignant progression in HER2 positive breast cancer.
Article in Breast cancer research : BCR, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDespite recent improvements in prognosis, breast cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women worldwide. Survival rates vary across breast cancer subtypes. HER2, an oncogene, is amplified in approximately 25% of primary breast cancers and associated with an aggressive clinical course and a poor prognosis. Although HER2-targeted therapies induce significant and durable responses, resistance remains prevalent.RPL19 is coexpressed and positively correlated with HER2.
methodsAnalysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) revealed RPL19 upregulation in HER2-amplified breast cancer. Further validation with paired breast cancer and adjacent normal tissues confirmed the differential expression of RPL19 in HER2-amplified breast cancer. In vitro and in vivo functional assays demonstrated that RPL19 promotes the growth and metastasis of HER2-amplified breast cancer cells. Mechanistically, RPL19 upregulates IL-4 via the transcription factor JUN. RPL19 promotes tumor cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and reduces their sensitivity to trastuzumab through the IL-4/p-STAT6 signaling pathway. In the tumor microenvironment, RPL19 inhibits macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of tumor cells by regulating IL-4 secretion, further promoting tumor progression.
resultsIn summary, RPL19 is overexpressed in HER2-amplified breast cancer and promotes tumor cell growth, metastasis, and reduces their sensitivity to trastuzumab. Through JUN-mediated regulation of IL-4, RPL19 influences the progression and reduces their sensitivity to trastuzumab of HER2-amplified breast cancer via the IL-4/p-STAT6 signaling and IL-4-mediated macrophage phagocytosis pathways.
conclusionsThese pathways may represent novel therapeutic targets for HER2-amplified breast cancer.
