Project description:Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), an anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate with a topoisomerase I inhibitor connected by a cleavable linker, has been approved for patients with HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction tumors. This biomarker study assessed HER2 expression and immune cell infiltration in relation to the therapeutic response to T-DXd. This retrospective analysis included samples from patients treated with T-DXd in three clinical trials. We performed RNA sequencing and multiplex immunohistochemistry on archival tumor samples obtained at baseline, during treatment, and after treatment. Flow cytometry was performed on tumor infiltrating immune cells freshly isolated from tumor tissues. Samples from 28 patients were included in this study. ERBB2 mRNA levels and CD20+ cell infiltration in tumors were significantly higher at baseline in responders than in nonresponders. Patients were classified into three biological groups based on their baseline tumor/stroma-infiltrating immune cell densities. Two groups reported similar response rates, but a trend was observed toward a shorter progression-free-survival in the group with more immunosuppressive regulatory T cells and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression at baseline. T-DXd treatment tended to increase the levels of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells and PD1+CD8+ T cells, particularly in responders. Gene expression signatures of CTL and helper T cells increased during treatment, whereas signatures related to hypoxia, MYC targets, collagen formation, and interleukin-10 were downregulated. Our data suggest that HER2 expression levels and baseline tumor microenvironment (TME) characteristics correlate with T-DXd efficacy. Furthermore, this treatment may modulate TME immune profiles. Further validation using a larger sample size is warranted.

Project description:Trastuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody directed to the HER2 protein, is the standard-of-care treatment for patients with HER2 positive breast cancer, reducing the risk of relapse and death in patients. Nonetheless, some patients do not benefit from this treatment, underscoring the need to identify patients for whom chemotherapy + trastuzumab is adequate versus patients requiring additional drugs. The series comprised 24 incisional biopsies of breast carcinomas derived from patients that received neoadjuvant trastuzumab based therapy. Gene expression profiling was performed using RNA from frozen core biopsies from 24 patients with primary HER2-positive (HER2+) tumors treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and trastuzumab.

Project description:We aimed to characterize the genomic profiles of adenocarcinomas in the gastroesophageal junction in relation to cancers in the esophagus and the stomach. Profiles of gains/losses as well as gene expression profiles were obtained from 27 gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas using 32k high-resolution array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and 27k oligo gene expression arrays and putative target genes were validated in an extended series. Adenocarcinomas in the distal esophagus and the gastroesophageal junction showed strong similarities with the most common gains at 20q13, 8q24, 1q21-q23, 5p15, 13q34, and 12q13, whereas different profiles with gains at 5p15, 7p22, 2q35, and 13q34 characterized gastric cancers. CDK6 and EGFR were identified as putative target genes in cancers of the esophagus and the gastroesophageal junction with upregulation in one quarter of the tumors. Gains/losses and gene expression profiles show strong similarity between cancers in the distal esophagus and the gastroesophageal junction with frequent upregulation of CDK6 and EGFR, whereas gastric cancer displays distinct genetic changes. These data suggest that molecular diagnostics and targeted therapies can be applied to adenocarcinomas of the distal esophagus and gastroesophageal junction alike. Three types of gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas; 7 distal esophageal (EA) tumors, 9 junctional (JA) and 7 proximal stomach cancers (GA) was genomically profiled using tiling 32k BAC-arrays. Two replicates of tumors IDs 1-EA-CGH (replicate 1-EA-CGH-2), 12-EA-CGH (replicate 12-EA-CGH-2) and 18-EA-CGH (replicate 18-EA-CGH-2). Reference samples consist of a pool of male DNA (Promega, Madison, WI, USA).

Project description:Trastuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody directed to the HER2 protein, is the standard-of-care treatment for patients with HER2 positive breast cancer, reducing the risk of relapse and death in patients. Nonetheless, some patients relapse after treatment, underscoring the need to identify patients for whom chemotherapy + trastuzumab is adequate versus patients requiring additional drugs. To search for genes predictive of relapse in HER2-positive breast carcinoma patients treated with adjuvant trastuzumab, we conducted gene expression profiling analysis in 53 cases treated in the clinic with doxorubicin/paclitaxel (AT) followed by cyclophosphamide/methotrexate/fluorouracil (CMF) and trastuzumab. Gene expression profiling was performed using RNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from 53 patients with primary HER2-positive (HER2+) tumors. The series consists in 23 relapsed and 30 non-relapsed cases with similar clinical-pathological characteristics (size, pathological lymph node involvement and estrogen receptor positivity) (3-year median follow up).

Project description:The use of trastuzumab and pertuzumab in combination with docetaxel for initial treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer patients has resulted in notable clinical benefits in comparison to docetaxel administered with trastuzumab alone. Nevertheless, although therapeutic success is evident at the outset, the majority of tumours eventually advance, rendering metastatic disease and subsequent recurrence in patients who have developed acquired resistance. There is an urgent requirement to enhance our comprehension of the mechanisms governing resistance, enabling us to develop targeted therapeutic approaches to improve efficacy. We produced four HER2-positive-derived cell lines through prolonged exposure to trastuzumab and pertuzumab, determining their resistance rates. We confirmed long-term resistance through a notable increase in colony formation capacity of the derived cells. We confirmed the molecular identity of the new cell lines using immunohistochemistry of their receptors and profiling of point mutations. We detected HER2 overexpression in all cell lines and resistance to trastuzumab and pertuzumab did not result in variations in ER, PR and HER2 receptor expression. Finally, a study using proteomics analysis confirmed a significant alteration in the abundance patterns of over 600 proteins. This has implications for various vital biological processes such as ribosome creation, mitochondrial functionality, and metabolism. These mechanisms may play a crucial role in developing resistance in HER2-positive breast cancer. We conclude that these BCCLs resistant to trastuzumab plus pertuzumab-based anti-HER2 therapy could be a useful resource to enhance comprehension of resistance acquisition mechanisms.

Project description:Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Among them, human epidermal growth factor receptor-positive (HER2+) breast cancer is more malignant. Fortunately, many anti-HER2 drugs are currently used in clinical treatments to increase patient survival. However, some HER2+ patients (~15%) still develop drug resistance after receiving trastuzumab treatment, leading to treatment failure. Using CCLE and METABRIC database analyses, we found that fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) mRNA was highly detected in tumors from HER2+ breast cancer patients (P<0.001) and was associated with poorer survival in breast cancer patients. Through retrospective immunohistochemical staining analysis, we detected higher expression of FGFR4 protein in breast cancer tissues collected from patients who were resistant to trastuzumab therapy compared with breast cancer patients who responded to treatment. An FGFR4 inhibitor (FGF401) effectively inhibits tumor growth in trastuzumab-insensitive patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumor-bearing mice. For molecular mechanism studies, we demonstrated that HER2/FGFR4 protein complexes were detected on the cell membrane of the tumor tissues in these trastuzumab-insensitive PDX tumor tissues. After trastuzumab treatment in these drug-resistant breast cancer cells, FGFR4 translocates and enters the nucleus. However, trastuzumab-induced nuclear translocation of FGFR4/HER2-intracellular domain protein complex in trastuzumab-resistant cancer cells is blocked by FGF401 treatment. We believe that FGFR4 overexpression and complex formation with HER2 can serve as molecular markers to assist clinicians in identifying trastuzumab-resistant tumors. Our results suggest that FGF401 combined with trastuzumab as adjuvant therapy for patients with trastuzumab-resistant breast cancer may be a potential new treatment strategy.

Project description:Objective: Trastuzumab has been used for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer (BC). However, a subset of BC patients exhibited resistance to trastuzumab therapy. Thus, clarifying the molecular mechanism of trastuzumab treatment will be beneficial to improve the treatment of HER2-positive BC patients. In this study, we identified trastuzumab-responsive microRNAs that are involved in the therapeutic effects of trastuzumab. Methods and results: RNA samples were obtained from HER2-positive (SKBR3 and BT474) and HER2-negetive (MCF7 and MDA-MB-231) cells with and without trastuzumab treatment for 6 days. Next, we conducted a microRNA profiling analysis using these samples to screen those microRNAs that were up- or downregulated only in HER2-positive cells. This analysis identified miR-26a and miR-30b as trastuzumab-inducible microRNAs. Transfecting miR-26a and miR-30b induced cell growth suppression in the BC cells by 40% and 32%, respectively. A cell cycle analysis showed that these microRNAs induced G1 arrest in HER2-positive BC cells as trastuzumab did. An Annexin-V assay revealed that miR-26a but not miR-30b induced apoptosis in HER2-positive BC cells. Using the prediction algorithms for microRNA targets, we identified cyclin E2 (CCNE2) as a target gene of miR-30b. A luciferase-based reporter assay demonstrated that miR-30b post-transcriptionally reduced 27% (p=0.005) of the gene expression by interacting with two binding sites in the 3’-UTR of CCNE2. Conclusion: In BC cells, trastuzumab modulated the expression of a subset of microRNAs, including miR-26a and miR-30b. The upregulation of miR-30b by trastuzumab may play a biological role in trastuzumab-induced cell growth inhibition by targeting CCNE2. We obtained microRNA expression profiles of breast cancer cell lines, MCF7, MDA-MB-231, SKBR3, and BT474, with or without trastuzumab (4microgram/mL) treatment.

Project description:A great deal of evidence indicates that solid and hematological tumors are driven and maintained by a minor cell compartment with stem cell properties. In this context, gastric cancer stem cells (GCSCs) are implicated in tumor aggressiveness, invasion, metastasis and therapy resistance. HER2 amplification/overexpression (HER2+) is found in about 20% of GCs. Although the anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab has improved the outcomes of patients with HER2+ advanced disease, its benefits are usually transitory because of high HER2 heterogeneity and frequent co-existence of other oncogenic drivers associated with primary/acquired resistance. To identify potential drivers of trastuzumab resistance in GCSCs, we compare the gene expression profile of OE19 and N87 HER2+ GC cell lines cultured as gastrospheres, peculiar 3D cell cultures that allow detecting the in vitro enrichment of CSCs, versus their matched adherent cell (2D) counterparts. Comparison of the transcriptomic profiles of HER2+ GC cells cultured in 2D versus 3D conditions evidenced a significant enrichment of Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN) transcript among the genes upmodulated in 3D cell cultures. We found that the pharmacological blockade of HER2 and FASN targets CSCs and decreases tumor growth of HER2-positive GC models
