Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is a monoclonal antibody targeting the extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) (1) utilized for the treatment of adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer (2) in the United States and worldwide. We mined published microarray data (3, 4) to discover in an unbiased manner the most significant transcriptional changes associated with trastuzumab treatment. We identified the recombination activating gene, RAG2, as among those most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer treated with trastuzumab. A single administration of trastuzumab was sufficient to transcriptionally activate RAG2 in primary tumors of the breast, demonstrating increased expression of a molecule thought to possess cell type-specific expression in B-lymphocytes as a direct transcriptional consequence of treatment with trastuzumab.

We mined published microarray and gene expression data (3, 4) to discover in an unbiased manner the most significant transcriptional changes associated with trastuzumab treatment. We identified NEUROD4 among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer treated with trastuzumab. The primary tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab expressed higher levels of NEUROD4 messenger RNA than did patients not treated with trastuzumab, and a single administration of trastuzumab was sufficient to result in differential expression of NEUROD4 in primary tumors of the breast, demonstrating increased expression of a transcription factor with neurogenic potential (5, 6) as a direct transcriptional consequence of treatment with trastuzumab.

Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is a monoclonal antibody targeting the extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) (1) utilized for the treatment of adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer (2) in the United States and worldwide. We mined published microarray data (3, 4) to discover in an unbiased manner the most significant transcriptional changes associated with trastuzumab treatment. We identified the baculoviral IAP repeat-containing 8 (encoded by BIRC8) as among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer treated with trastuzumab. A single dose of trastuzumab was sufficient to result in differential expression of BIRC8 in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer, suggesting that transcriptional induction of BIRC8 is a direct result of trastuzumab administration.

We mined published microarray and gene expression data (3, 4) to discover in an unbiased manner the most significant transcriptional changes associated with trastuzumab treatment. We identified EphB4 as among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer treated with trastuzumab. The primary tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab expressed lower levels of EphB4 messenger RNA than did patients not treated with trastuzumab, and a single administration of trastuzumab was sufficient to result in differential expression of EphB4 in primary tumors of the breast, demonstrating decreased expression of a receptor tyrosine kinase that can impair tumorigenicity of breast cancer cells (5) as a direct transcriptional result of treatment with trastuzumab.

Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is a monoclonal antibody targeting the extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) (1) utilized for the treatment of adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer (2) in the United States and worldwide. We mined published microarray and gene expression data (3, 4) to discover in an unbiased manner the most striking transcriptional features of trastuzumab treatment. We identified the activator of the maturation-promoting factor, CDC25C (5-12) as among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer treated with trastuzumab. The primary tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab expressed higher levels of CDC25C messenger RNA than did patients not treated with trastuzumab, and a single administration of trastuzumab was sufficient to result in differential expression of CDC25C in primary tumors of the breast, demonstrating that a critical component of the cellular machinery that facilitates progression of cells through mitosis (5-12) is likely transcriptionally induced in primary tumors of the breast by trastuzumab.

BIRC3, a molecule with the capacity to promote the survival of cancer cells (5), was expressed at significantly higher levels in the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab as compared to that of patients not treated with trastuzumab.

Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is a monoclonal antibody targeting the extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) (1) utilized for the treatment of adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer (2) in the United States and worldwide. We mined published and public microarray data (3-6) to discover in an unbiased manner the most significant transcriptional changes associated with trastuzumab treatment. We identified the receptor for interleukin-23, IL23R, among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer treated with trastuzumab (3, 4). We also found that the alpha subunit of the IL-23 cytokine, IL23A, was among the genes whose expression changed most significantly in the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab (5, 6). IL23R messenger RNA was expressed at significantly higher levels in the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab than patients not treated with trastuzumab, demonstrating increased expression of the receptor for a cytokine that has been described to promote tumor growth (7) as a transcriptional consequence associated with treatment with trastuzumab.
