10568 Background: Trastuzumab is an antibody anti-epidermal growth factor 2 receptor (HER2), which improves disease-free and overall survival in HER2 positive breast cancer. Nevertheless, many patients become resistant to this treatment. Heparanase (HPSE) is an enzyme that is responsible for removal of heparan sulfate (HS) chains from proteoglycans, generating free oligosaccharides that modulate many physiopathological functions, including tumor developing. We have analyzed whether some extracellular matrix components influence trastuzumab efficacy. Methods: Heparanase-1 (HPSE-1) overexpression effect was analyzed using MCF7 cells stable transfected with HPSE-1 cDNA (MCF7-HPSE-1). HPSE-1, HPSE-2, Syndecan-1 (Syn-1) and HER2 expression, HPSE-1 activity and cell viability were evaluated in different breast cancer cells treated or not with trastuzumab. The glycosaminoglycans synthesis and shedding were also evaluated. Trastuzumab and HS binding were analyzed by confocal microscopy and Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET). Results: MCF7 transfected with HPSE-1 cDNA becomes completely resistant to trastuzumab. HS affinity by Trastuzumab was then tested, showing that they bind in high levels and this binding is necessary to antibody activity. In MCF7 cells, trastuzumab decreases HPSE-1, HPSE-2, HER2 and Syn-1 mRNA expression, while in MCF7-HPSE-1 the antibody increases the expression of these molecules. Conclusions: Our results have demonstrated that an ideal concentration of HS in cell surface, regulated by trastuzumab, is necessary to its action, beyond HER2 high levels. High HS concentration at cell surface enhances the antibody amount disposable to interact with HER2 in cell surface, determining breast cancer cells susceptibility to trastuzumab. These new insights could be useful when devising strategies for overcoming trastuzumab resistance in HER2 positive cancers. Supported by FAPESP, CNPq, CAPES.
