Correlation of 95GCRS with distant recurrence rate and response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) was evaluated in 257 patients with ER+/HER2-/N0 breast cancer treated with adjuvant hormonal therapy at Osaka University Hospital and in 425 patients with ER+ breast cancer treated with NAC at Osaka University Hospital and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (GSE25066 dataset).
Fulvestrant is a valuable option with limited toxicity and durable response in metastatic HER2 and ER positive breast cancer after progression on anti-HER2 agents as well.
Furthermore, MUC1-CD is also involved in promoting expression of multi drug resistance (MDR) genes and finally, silencing MUC1 expression was together with resensitization of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) and/or estrogen receptor (ER+) positive breast cancer cells to bortezomib, trastuzumab and tamoxifen respectively.
The preoperative endocrine prognostic index (PEPI) predicts survival after neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NAE) using aromatase inhibitors (AIs) for women with postmenopausal estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer irrespective of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status.
This study indicated for the first time that lower HER2 expression by Beclin 1 downregulation contributes to alteration of tamoxifen sensitivity and low Beclin 1 predicts favorable outcome in ER-positive breast cancer.
In univariate analysis, MAO-A positivity was related to short disease-free survival in HER-2 type (<i>p</i> = 0.013), AOC3 negativity was related to short disease-free survival and overall survival in ER-positive breast cancer, PR-positive breast cancer, HER-2-negative breast cancer, and lymph node metastasis.
In HER2+/ER+ breast cancer cells with acquired trastuzumab resistance, TFF3 expression was markedly upregulated and associated with a corresponding decrease in HER signalling. siRNA mediated depletion or small molecule inhibition of TFF3 decreased the survival and growth advantage of the trastuzumab resistant cells without re-sensitization to trastuzumab.
The objective here was to explore any differential effects of Trastuzumab treatment (Trast +ve) on Luminal B HER2 or HER2+(ER-) breast cancer subtypes.
Transcriptome- and proteome-oriented identification of dysregulated eIF4G, STAT3, and Hippo pathways altered by PIK3CA <sup>H1047R</sup> in HER2/ER-positive breast cancer.
A subset of genes was screened in cell lines representing epithelial TNBC (MB468), HER2-amplified breast cancer (SKBR3), and estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer (T47D).
Our results thus demonstrated that elevated expression of the ER-α36-EGFR/HER2 loops is one of the mechanisms by which ER-positive breast cancer cells escape tamoxifen therapy.
Tamoxifen suppressed the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-Akt signaling in BTG2 expressing ER-positive breast cancer cells with a correlated increase in sensitivity, whereas BTG2 knockdown abrogated this sensitivity.
Transcriptional CCND1 expression as a predictor of poor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with trastuzumab in HER2-positive/ER-positive breast cancer.
Steroid receptor status, tumor size and HER2 status (alone or in combination) are significant parameters for the course of disease of postmenopausal ER-positive breast cancer patients, but during different periods of follow up.
Whereas high grade breast cancers have been relatively well characterized by several recurrent changes in oncogenes/tumour suppressor genes located on various chromosomal regions (e.g. egfr, p53, HER2), the characterization of a 16q-specific tumour suppressor gene in ER-positive breast cancer is still a tremendous challenge.
A collection of HSP90AA1, HSP90AB1 and HSF1 amplifications defined a subpopulation of breast cancer with up-regulated HSP90 gene expression, and up-regulated HSP90 expression independently elevated the risk of recurrence of TNBC and poor prognosis of HER2-/ER+ breast cancer.
Phase I-II clinical trials have demonstrated that everolimus has promising clinical activity in women with HER2-positive, HER2-negative, and estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer when combined with HER2-targeted therapy, cytotoxic chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy, respectively.
These data suggest that alteration of YB-1 may modify the crosstalk between the ER pathway and HER2 pathway in ER-positive breast cancer cells, and consequently, may alter the response to endocrine therapy in ER-positive breast cancer cells.
