Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody targeted against the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is utilized for the treatment of human breast cancer (1, 2), but a complete understanding of how tumor signal transduction is modulated by trastuzumab treatment is lacking. By mining published and public microarray and gene expression data (3, 4) from the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab, we found that the growth arrest-specific gene 7, GAS7, was among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab, and expressed at lower levels in the tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab. Thus, the use of trastuzumab in patients with breast cancer is associated with increased expression of a gene (5) that can induce neurite outgrowth and support survival of acute lymphoblastic leukemias (6).

Platelet-derived growth factors α and β are differentially expressed in the primary tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab.

By mining published and public microarray and gene expression data (3, 4) from the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab, we found that platelet-derived growth factors α and β , PDGF-α and PDGF-β, are among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab, and expressed at significantly higher levels in the tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab. Thus, the use of trastuzumab in patients with breast cancer is associated with increased expression growth factors important for development of the neural crest and neural tube (5,6).

By mining published and public microarray and gene expression data (3, 4) from the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab, we found that TNFSF8, also known as CD153 and CD30 ligand (CD30L) was among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab. TNFSF8 messenger RNA expression was significantly enhanced in the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab. Thus, trastuzumab treatment in patients with breast cancer is associated with increased expression, in primary tumors of the breast, of a marker with broad expression in multiple human cancers of the hematopoietic system (5, 6), and with the capacity to regulate immunoglobulin class switching (7).

By mining published and public microarray and gene expression data (3, 4) from the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab, we found that the Wnt pathway receptor frizzled-7, FZD7, was among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab, and expressed at significantly higher levels in the tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab. Thus, the use of trastuzumab in patients with breast cancer is associated with increased expression of a signal transduction receptor that can support proliferation of triple negative breast cancer cells (5) and is required for the maintenance of pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells (6).

Thus, the use of trastuzumab in patients with breast cancer is associated with increased expression of a growth factor that is chemotactic, angiogenic (5) and important for growth of blood vessels in the brain (6).

Thus, the use of trastuzumab in patients with breast cancer is associated with decreased expression of a gene (5) that can induce apoptosis of cancer cells (6).

Erbb2 Gene ◽

HER2, the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, is encoded by the ERBB2 gene (1). Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets HER2, is utilized for the treatment of breast cancer (2). We recently reported that trastuzumab treatment paradoxically increases HER2 expression in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer (3). We report here, using analysis of published microarray data (4, 5), that a second erb-B receptor tyrosine kinase, ERRB4, is also differentially expressed in the tumors of patients with breast cancer treated with trastuzumab. Trastuzumab treatment appears to be associated with the up-regulation of two members of the erb-B receptor tyrosine kinase family in human breast cancer.

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 found that BIRC3 was among the the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients treated with 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.
