The epidermal growth factor receptor/Erb-B/HER family in normal and malignant breast biology

Abstract: KEY WORDS: EGFR, c-Erb-B2, c-Erb-B3, c-Erb-B4, cancer The EGFR/ERB-B/HER familyThe epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its close relatives HER2/c-Erb-B2, Erb-B3 and Erb-B4 are type 1 transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) with key roles in embryonic development, tissue renewal/repair and cancer. A great deal has been learned about their structure, signalling pathways and aberrations linked to malignant transformation since the explosion of interest in this family in the 1980's. Early discoveries… Show more

“…1B). Next, we investigated EGFR signaling because it is often dysregulated in breast cancer and is commonly upstream of Ras and ERK (40). We found that treatment of MCF-10A cells with increasing concentrations of the specific EGFR kinase inhibitor AG1478, subsequent to up-regulation of CD147, resulted in attenuated p-ERK (Fig.…”

“…Overexpression of HER2 (ERBB2), a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family, is one of the best described mechanisms of AE-resistance. 4,5,16 Near to 30% of breast cancers show HER2 alterations which are associated with poor prognosis. Furthermore, EGFR and IGFR are also known to be involved in AE-resistance and all the pathways, such as PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK, acting downstream from theses membrane receptors are responsible for the phosphorylation of ERα and its coregulators.…”
