Advances in targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 signaling for cancer therapy.
Human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2 is a member of the HER tyrosine kinase family, which regulates cell growth and proliferation. HER-2 is overexpressed in 20% to 30% of breast cancers and has been associated with an aggressive phenotype and a poorer prognosis, making it an appealing therapeutic target. Since 1998, the anti-HER-2 antibody trastuzumab has been used for the treatment o...
متن کاملPotential for molecular-targeted therapy targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 for invasive bladder cancer.
Expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2/neu or HER-2) oncoprotein in invasive bladder cancer was examined by immunohistochemical staining in order to evaluate the potential for molecular-targeted therapy targeting HER-2 as a tailor-made treatment for patients with invasive bladder cancer. This study included 40 patients who were examined at Aichi Medical University Hospita...
متن کاملBreast Carcinoma; Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2 (HER-2) and Grading Correlation
Introduction: Overexpression of Human Epidermal Growth factor Receptor-2 (HER-2) is one of the most important prognostic and predictive factors of breast cancer, observed in 25% - 30% of breast carcinoma patients leading to poor prognosis and feasible anti HER-2 antibody drugs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the HER-2 frequency in target population and its correlat...
متن کاملSimultaneous targeting of the epidermal growth factor receptor and cyclooxygenase-2 pathways for pancreatic cancer therapy.
The aims of this study were to determine the effects of (a) combining the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) blocker (erlotinib) and the cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor (celecoxib) on cell growth and apoptosis in human pancreatic cancer cell lines, (b) baseline EGFR expression on the potentiation of erlotinib-induced apoptosis by celecoxib, and (c) the effects of the combination on the expressi...
متن کاملBlockade of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor and epidermal growth factor receptor signaling for therapy of metastatic human pancreatic cancer.
We determined whether concurrent blockage of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor and epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor signaling by two novel tyrosine kinase inhibitors, PTK 787 and PKI 166, respectively, can inhibit angiogenesis and, hence, the growth and metastasis of human pancreatic carcinoma in nude mice. Highly metastatic human pancreatic carcinoma L3.6pl cells were in...
