Project description:Genes involved in trastuzumab response were identified using transcriptomic data from cells hypersensitive to trastuzumab derived from BT474.
Project description:We sequenced untreated BT474 cells, BT474 cells treated for three days with trastuzumab or trastuzumab + pertuzumab, as well as two BT474-derived trastuzumab-resistant pools and two BT474-derived trastuzumab + pertuzumab resistant pools. Resistant pools were generated by culturing BT474 cells in gradually increasing doses of trastuzumab and trastuzumab + pertuzumab over the course of several months and continually maintained in drug.
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: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.
Project description:The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) gene encodes a tyrosine kinase receptor that controls important signal transduction pathways in breast cancer. Amplification and overexpression of the HER2 gene occurs in approximately 20% of breast cancers and is associated with an aggressive clinical phenotype. Trastuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets HER2 showed exceptional efficacy in the treatment of breast cancer. In the adjuvant treatment of breast cancer patients, five randomized trials showed significant benefit of trastuzumab, with a reduction in the rate of recurrence of approximately 50% and improvement in the rate of survival of approximately 30%. In the current study, positive early stage breast cancer samples treated with adjuvant trastuzumab provided by institute Jules Bordet (IJB) and KUL. Gene expression and clinical outcome data were available. to better understand the genetic regulations and effects of the trastuzumab, we profile the the genes expression of positive early stage breast cancer samples treated with adjuvant trastuzumab.

The series comprised 18 incisional biopsies of breast carcinomas derived from patients that received neoadjuvant trastuzumab based therapy.

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).
