Project description:Hormones and growth factors accelerate cell proliferation of breast cancer cells, and these molecules are well investigated targets for drug development and application. The mechanisms of cell proliferation of breast cancers lacking estrogen receptor (ER) and HER2 have not been fully understood. The purpose of the present study is to find genes that are differentially expressed in breast cancers and that might significantly contribute to cell proliferation in these cancers. Forty tumor samples, consisting of ten each of immunohistochemically ER(+)/HER2(-), ER(+)/HER2(+), ER(-)/HER2(+), and ER(-)/HER2(-) cancer were analyzed using oligonucleotide microarrays. Both genes and tumor samples were subjected to hierarchical clustering. ER(+)/HER2(-) breast cancers and ER(-)/HER2(-) cancers tended to form a tumor cluster, but HER2 positive breast cancers were split into different tumor clusters. Significant differential expression between IHC-ER(-)/HER2(-) and other tumors was defined as having an expression level at least 2-fold higher or 2-fold lower, and analyzed by multi-step two-way ANOVA. Genes overexpressed differently in IHC-ER(-)/HER2(-) breast cancers compared to other all three types were 8 genes (FABP7, GABRP, GAL, CXCL13, CDC42EP4, C2F, FOXM1, CSDA), and underexpressed genes were nine including ITGB5, KIAA0310, MAGED2, PRSS11, SORL1, TGFB3, KRT18, CPE, BCAS1. No gene was directly related to cell proliferation such as cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinase, p53, p16, and the pRb and p21 families. We had a particular focus on a transcriptional factor E2F-5 from a list of genes overexpressed in ER negative breast cancers compared to ER positive breast cancers, and further examined. Gene amplification of E2F-5 was detected in 5/57 (8.8%) in breast cancers by FISH. No point mutation was found at the binding domain with DNA or dimerization partner of E2F-5. Immunohistochemically E2F-5 positive cancers were more frequent in ER(-)/HER2(-) cancer (14/27, 51.9%) than in other types of cancer (5/30, 16.7%) (p=0.05). E2F-5 positive cancers had higher Ki-67 labeling index (59.5%) than E2F-5 negative cancers (36.3%). E2F-5 positive cancers showed higher histological grade including metaplastic carcinoma, and worse clinical outcome with shorter disease free survival in node negative patients. In conclusion, we demonstrated that there is a population of breast cancer with overexpression of a cell cycle related transcriptional factor E2F-5. E2F-5 positive breast cancers were frequent in ER(-)/HER2(-) group with high Ki-67 labeling index, high histological grade and worse clinical outcome. Keywords: immunohistochemical phenotype

Project description:The ability to accurately quantify proteins in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues using targeted mass spectrometry opens exciting perspectives for biomarker discovery. We have developed and evaluated a selected reaction monitoring (SRM) assay for the human receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 (HER2) in FFPE breast tumors. Peptide candidates were identified using an untargeted mass spectrometry approach in relevant cell lines. A selected reaction monitoring (SRM) assay was developed for the six best candidate peptides and evaluated for linearity, precision and lower limit of quantification. The six HER2 peptides of interest were then quantified by SRM in a cohort of 40 archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissues from women with invasive breast carcinomas, showing different levels of HER2 gene amplification. Finally, the agreement was tested between data generated by SRM and data generated using standard clinical pathology methods, namely immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The high agreement observed indicates that SRM is a suitable method to quantify peptides from FFPE material, and therefore represents a powerful approach for biomarker discovery studies.

Project description:Results: In subjects who completed treatment and surgery, the pCR and near-complete response rates were 15.8% in HER2-negative and 50% in HER2-positive subjects. When stratified by genomic subtype, subjects of the HER2-enriched subtype had the best response (66.7%), the luminal A (11%) and B (4.8%) subtypes the poorest. Of 147 patients tested for p53 mutations using the AmpliChip test, 78 variants were detected; 55 were missense. The response rate among TP53 mutated patients was 30%, significantly higher than the rate in TP53 wild-type patients (10%, P = .0032). Concordance between AmpliChip mutation status versus IHC staining was 65%, with AmpliChip status being predictive of response and IHC status being not being predictive. Conclusion: Capecitabine plus docetaxel in HER2-negative subjects, and with trastuzumab in HER2-positive subjects, provided a good response rate with fewer cycles. p53 mutational analysis using the AmpliChip p53 assay, and genomic subtyping using the PAM50 assay, were promising predictive tests of response. reference x sample

Project description:Background: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous neoplasm. Distinct subtypes of breast cancer have been defined, suggesting the existence of molecular differences contributing to their clinical outcomes. However, the molecular differences between HER2 positive and negative breast cancer tumors remain unclear. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify a gene expression profile for breast tumors based on HER2 status. Material and methods: The HER2 status was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in 54 breast tumor samples. Using Affymetrix microarray data from these breast tumors, we established the expression profiling of breast cancer based on HER2 IHC and FISH results. To validate microarray experiment data, real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR was performed. Results: We found significant differences between the HER2-positive and HER2-negative breast tumor samples, which included overexpression of HER2, as well as other genes located on 17q12, and genes functionally related to migration. Conclusion: Our study shows the potential of integrated genomics profiling to shed light on the molecular knowledge of HER2-positive breast tumors.

Conclusion: Our study shows the potential of integrated genomics profiling to shed light on the molecular knowledge of HER2-positive breast tumors. The tumor samples under study correspond to 54 primary breast carcinomas. They included 15 cases with a HER2 IHC3+ score with HER2 gene amplification, 13 cases with IHC2+ score with amplification and 13 without HER2 gene amplification, and 13 cases IHC0/1+ score without HER2 gene amplification. 12 samples of breast normal tissues from breast cancer patients were also included as a reference. Neither overexpression nor amplification of HER2 was observed.

Project description:Although the determination of HER2 expression in breast cancer would be of critical importance in the clinical management related to the selection of the patients who are expected to benefit from trastuzumab therapy, the conventional techniques have inherent limitations that disqualify their use as gold standards. Specifically, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), which is mandatory for determining IHC 2+ cases, is time-consuming and economically inefficient. To address this shortcoming, we aimed to discriminate the equivocal HER2 status, which cannot be classified by the conventional method such as IHC, using a highly sensitive and quantitative MRM-MS assay.
In order to assess the agreement between MRM-MS and IHC/FISH data, the quantitative data of a HER2 peptide was normalized by junctional adhesion molecule A (JAM1) levels, which is an epithelial cell-specific protein. The normalized HER2 levels differentiated the ambiguous IHC results of. In addition, the MRM-MS data distinguished HER2-negative breast cancer from the HER2-positive breast cancer that was expected to benefit from trastuzumab therapy.
The newly developed HER2-targeted proteomic assay may provide a general strategy for complementing the limitations of conventional HER2-targeted therapeutic strategies.

Project description:Background: Conventional HER2-targeting therapies improve outcomes for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer (BC), defined as tumors showing HER2 protein overexpression by an immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay and/or ERBB2 gene amplification determined by in situ hybridization (ISH). Emerging HER2-targeting compounds show benefit in some patients with neither HER2 protein overexpression nor ERBB2 gene amplification, creating a need for new assays to select HER2-low tumors for treatment with these compounds. Here, we report the analytical performance of a targeted mass spectrometry-based assay for quantifying HER2 protein in formalin fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and frozen BC biopsies.
Methods: We used immuno-enrichment coupled to multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry (immuno-MRM-MS) to quantify HER2 protein (as peptide GLQSLPTHDPSPLQR) in 96 frozen and 119 FFPE BC biopsies. We characterized linearity, lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), and intra- and inter-day variation of the assay in frozen and FFPE tissue matrices. We determined concordance between HER2 immuno-MRM and predicate IHC and ISH assays and examined the benefit of multiplexing the assay to include proteins expressed in tumor sub-compartments (e.g. stroma, adipose, lymphocytes, epithelium) to account for tissue heterogeneity.
Results: HER2 immuno-MRM assay linearity was ≥103, assay coefficient of variation (CV) was 7.8% (FFPE) and 5.9% (frozen), and endogenous measurement CV was 7.7% (FFPE) and 7.9% (frozen). Immuno-MRM-based HER2 measurements strongly correlated with predicate assay HER2 determinations, and concordance was improved by normalizing to GAPDH. HER2 was quantified above LLOQ in all HER2-low and -negative tumors.
Conclusions: Immuno-MRM-MS can be used to quantify HER2 in FFPE and frozen BC biopsies, even at low HER2 expression levels.

Project description:HER2 transduced cells which we will refer to as HER2-DOX –. These cells are 99% GFP positive (i.e., 99% cells have HER2 transduced, un-induced). As a control, we had GFP empty vector transduced MCF10A cells (95% have GFP transduced). Both cell types in triplicates. We had 4 time-points 0h, 30 mins, 4hours, and 7 hours (time duration for which HER2 will be induced). DOX was added to the GFP-MCF10A cells as a control. Only 1ug/ml of DOX was be used.
