Transcriptomic analysis of mammary tumor biospy from MMTV-ErbB2 transgenic mice

ABSTRACT: The tyrosine kinase ErbB2 positive breast tumors have more aggressive tumor growth, poorer clinical outcome, and more resistance to radiotherapy, chemotherapy and hormone therapy. To identify the biomarkers for predicting the responses to chemotherapy, we treated genetically diverse F1 backcross (F1Bx) mice between C57BL/6J and FVB/N MMTV-Erbb2 transgenic mice with mammary tumor by docetaxel. Biopsies were taken in sterile conditions and processed for RNA and histological analysis before treatment. This will help us to have a better understanding of the heterogeneous response to chemotherapy and permit us to design better and more individualized (personalized) treatment strategies for human ErbB2 positive breast cancer.

Transcriptomic analysis of mammary tumors from MMTV-ErbB2 transgenic mice

Project description:The tyrosine kinase ErbB2 positive breast tumors have more aggressive tumor growth, poorer clinical outcome, and more resistance to radiotherapy, chemotherapy and hormone therapy. A humanized anti-ErbB2 monoclonal antibody Herceptin and a small molecules inhibitor Lapatinib were developed and approved by FDA to treat patients with ErbB2 amplification and overexpression. Unfortunately, most ErbB2+ breast cancers do not respond to Herceptin and Lapatinib, and the majority of responders become resistant within 12 months of initial therapy (defined as secondary drug resistance). Such differences in response to Lapatinib treatment is contributed by substantial heterogeneity within ErbB2+ breast cancers. To address this possibility, we carried out transcriptomic analysis of mammary tumors from genetically diverse MMTV-ErbB2 mice. This will help us to have a better understanding of the heterogeneous response to ErbB2 targeted therapy and permit us to design better and more individualized (personalized) treatment strategies for human ErbB2 positive breast cancer. 214 MMTV-ErbB2 mammary tumors and 8 normal mammary glands were analyzed by Affymetrix microarrays.
