Targeted dual degradation of HER2 and EGFR obliterates oncogenic signaling, overcomes therapy resistance, and inhibits metastatic lesions in HER2-positive breast cancer models
Aims
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is an oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase amplified in approximately 20% of breast cancer (BC). HER2-targeted therapies are the linchpin of treating HER2-positive BC. However, drug resistance is common, and the main resistance mechanism is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that drug resistance results mainly from inadequate or lack of inhibition of HER2 and its family member epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).
Methods
We used clinically relevant cell and tumor models to assess the impact of targeted degradation of HER2 and EGFR on trastuzumab resistance. Trastuzumab is the most common clinically used HER2 inhibitor. Targeted degradation of HER2 and EGFR was achieved using recombinant human protein PEPDG278D, which binds to the extracellular domains of the receptors. siRNA knockdown was used to assess the relative importance of EGFR and HER2 in trastuzumab resistance.
Results
Both HER2 and EGFR are overexpressed in all trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive BC cell and tumor models and that all trastuzumab-resistant models are highly vulnerable to targeted degradation of HER2 and EGFR. Degradation of HER2 and EGFR induced by PEPDG278D causes extensive inhibition of oncogenic signaling in trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive BC cells. This is accompanied by strong growth inhibition of cultured cells, orthotopic patient-derived xenografts, and metastatic lesions in the brain and lung of trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive BC. siRNA knockdown indicates that eliminating both HER2 and EGFR is necessary to maximize therapeutic outcome.
Conclusions
This study unravels the therapeutic vulnerability of trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive BC and shows that an agent that targets the degradation of both HER2 and EGFR is highly effective in overcoming drug resistance in this disease. The findings provide new insights and innovations for advancing treatment of drug-resistant HER2-positive breast cancer that remains an unmet problem.
期刊介绍：
Drug Resistance Updates serves as a platform for publishing original research, commentary, and expert reviews on significant advancements in drug resistance related to infectious diseases and cancer. It encompasses diverse disciplines such as molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, pharmacology, microbiology, preclinical therapeutics, oncology, and clinical medicine. The journal addresses both basic research and clinical aspects of drug resistance, providing insights into novel drugs and strategies to overcome resistance. Original research articles are welcomed, and review articles are authored by leaders in the field by invitation.
Articles are written by leaders in the field, in response to an invitation from the Editors, and are peer-reviewed prior to publication. Articles are clear, readable, and up-to-date, suitable for a multidisciplinary readership and include schematic diagrams and other illustrations conveying the major points of the article. The goal is to highlight recent areas of growth and put them in perspective.
*Expert reviews in clinical and basic drug resistance research in oncology and infectious disease
*Describes emerging technologies and therapies, particularly those that overcome drug resistance
*Emphasises common themes in microbial and cancer research
