“…HER2-targeted therapies such as TZMB and pertuzumab have been recommended in combination with chemotherapy for HER2-overexpressing breast and gastric cancer patients [9] , [10] , but frequently emerging resistance has created a need for alternative strategies. Thus, instead of targeting already overexpressed HER2, several experimental attempts have been made to identify small molecules that transcriptionally inhibit HER2 expression [53] , [54] , [55] , [56] , [57] , [58] , but nothing has yet reached clinical trials. HER2 expression-related PPIs occur between various TFs and coactivators as follows: TFs are ELF3 [17] , [22] , activator protein-2 (AP-2) [39] , SP1 [40] , [41] , signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) [42] , Y-box binding protein-1 (YBX1 or YB1) [43] , and EGR2 [44] , [45] , and coactivators are MED23, CITED2 (Cbp/p300-interacting transactivator, with Glu/Asp-rich carboxy-terminal domain, 2) [44] , [45] , and Yin Yang 1 (YY1) [46] , [47] .…”
