Abstract

Background and Aim:

IGF1R and HER2 are both members of the growth factor receptor family which is known to play a different role in breast cancer. However, correlation between IGF1R and HER2 has created a controversial situation that need to be fully delineated in development of Herceptin resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of Herceptin resistance through the IGF1R pathway in HER2 positive breast cancer.

Materials and Methods:

Clinical data were obtained from TCGA database and archived documents from The First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College. Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to detect proteins and their phosphorylation. Cell transfection were constructed using shRNA lentivirus vectors. RNAs were analyzed by RT-qPCR. Proteins in serum were analyzed by ELISA assay. Cell proliferation was analyzed by MTS method. Luciferase report experiment was conducted to verify RNA’s inter-reaction.

Results:

Western blot showed IGF2 protein was significantly increased in Herceptin resistant SKBR3-R cells (P<0.01), and IGF1R/HER2 heterodimer level was significantly increased (P<0.01). Luciferase reporter assay verified miR-98-5p could bind to 3 ‘UTR of IGF2 mRNA. When miR-98-5p was upregulated, the expression level of IGF2 was decreased(P<0.01), the cell invasive ability was reduced(P<0.01), and ultimately, Herceptin resistant cells regained their sensitivity to Herceptin. In clinical research, we found that decreased miR-98-5p level or increased IGF2 level significantly associated with poor treatment response and poor overall survival (OS), poor recurrence free survival (RFS) and poor distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) in HER2-positive breast cancer. Conclusion: MiR-98-5p and IGF2 might potential candidates for predicting Herceptin sensitivity and provides a new way to overcome Herceptin resistance in clinic.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung, Jacques Ferlay, Rebecca Siegel … (2021)

This article provides an update on the global cancer burden using the GLOBOCAN 2020 estimates of cancer incidence and mortality produced by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Worldwide, an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases (18.1 million excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer) and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths (9.9 million excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer) occurred in 2020. Female breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, with an estimated 2.3 million new cases (11.7%), followed by lung (11.4%), colorectal (10.0 %), prostate (7.3%), and stomach (5.6%) cancers. Lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death, with an estimated 1.8 million deaths (18%), followed by colorectal (9.4%), liver (8.3%), stomach (7.7%), and female breast (6.9%) cancers. Overall incidence was from 2-fold to 3-fold higher in transitioned versus transitioning countries for both sexes, whereas mortality varied <2-fold for men and little for women. Death rates for female breast and cervical cancers, however, were considerably higher in transitioning versus transitioned countries (15.0 vs 12.8 per 100,000 and 12.4 vs 5.2 per 100,000, respectively). The global cancer burden is expected to be 28.4 million cases in 2040, a 47% rise from 2020, with a larger increase in transitioning (64% to 95%) versus transitioned (32% to 56%) countries due to demographic changes, although this may be further exacerbated by increasing risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to build a sustainable infrastructure for the dissemination of cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries is critical for global cancer control.

NCCN Guidelines® Insights: Breast Cancer, Version 4.2021 : Featured Updates to the NCCN Guidelines

William Gradishar, Meena S. Moran, Jame Abraham … (2021)

The NCCN Guidelines for Breast Cancer include up-to-date guidelines for clinical management of patients with carcinoma in situ, invasive breast cancer, Paget disease, phyllodes tumor, inflammatory breast cancer, male breast cancer, and breast cancer during pregnancy. These guidelines are developed by a multidisciplinary panel of representatives from NCCN Member Institutions with breast cancer–focused expertise in the fields of medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology, reconstructive surgery, and patient advocacy. These NCCN Guidelines Insights focus on the most recent updates to recommendations for adjuvant systemic therapy in patients with nonmetastatic, early-stage, hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.

Prognosis of women with metastatic breast cancer by HER2 status and trastuzumab treatment: an institutional-based review.

Kristine Broglio, Aman Buzdar, Gabriel N Hortobagyi … (2010)

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine whether trastuzumab improves prognosis of women with metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)/neu -positive breast cancer beyond that of women with HER2/neu-negative disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS Two thousand ninety-one women with metastatic breast cancer diagnosed from 1991 to 2007, with known HER2/neu status and who had not received trastuzumab in the adjuvant setting, were identified. Disease was classified into the following three groups: HER2/neu negative, HER2/neu positive without first-line trastuzumab treatment, and HER2/neu positive with first-line trastuzumab treatment. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method and compared between groups with the log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine associations between OS and HER2/neu status after controlling for patient characteristics. Results One hundred eighteen patients (5.6%) had HER2/neu-positive disease without trastuzumab treatment, 191 (9.1%) had HER2/neu-positive disease and received trastuzumab treatment, and 1,782 (85.3%) had HER2/neu-negative disease. Median-follow-up was 16.9 months. One-year survival rates among patients with HER2/neu-negative disease, HER2/neu-positive disease and trastuzumab treatment, and HER2/neu-positive disease and no trastuzumab treatment were 75.1% (95% CI, 72.9% to 77.2%), 86.6% (95% CI, 80.8% to 90.8%), and 70.2% (95% CI, 60.3% to 78.1%), respectively. In a multivariable model, women with HER2/neu-positive disease who received trastuzumab had a 44% reduction in the risk of death compared with women with HER2/neu-negative disease (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.56; 95% CI, 0.45 to 0.69; P < .0001). This HR varied with time and was significant for the first 24 months and not significant after 24 months. CONCLUSION Our results show that women with HER2/neu-positive disease who received trastuzumab had improved prognosis compared with women with HER2/neu-negative disease.
