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 cell adhesion molecule CEACAM1 was among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab. Thus, a molecule whose expression is predictive of metastatic disease in patients with malignant melanoma (5) and whose expression in melanoma cell lines can support invasive properties (6) is expressed at significantly higher levels in the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab for breast cancer.

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 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 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 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).

STAT3 was expressed at significantly higher levels in the tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab, indicating that trastuzumab is potentially associated with activation of a signal transduction pathway important for survival of breast cancer cells, and demonstrating that a molecule described as an oncogene (5) with constitutive expression in all cell lines transformed by the Src proto-oncogene (6) is present at significantly higher quantities in the 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 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).

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 gene encoding interleukin-1β (5), IL1β, was among those most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab. IL1β was expressed at significantly higher levels in the tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab, indicating that a cytokine associated with metastasis to the bones in cancer models (6-9) and correlated with relapse of disease to the bones in human breast cancer (8) is produced at significantly higher quantities in the tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab.

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.
