概括
在转移性前列腺癌中,HER2过度表达是罕见的,但在尿路细胞癌中更为常见. 这表明,针对HER2的疗法可能有利于精选的泌尿器癌患者,但需要对前列腺癌进行仔细选择.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 癌症生物标志物 癌症生物标志物
- 分子病理学分子病理学
背景情况:
- 人体表皮生长因子受体2 (HER2) 是针对各种癌症的向治疗的关键致癌驱动因素和预测生物标志物.
- 针对HER2的向疗法已被批准用于HER2阳性乳腺和其他固体瘤.
- 在晚期前列腺癌和尿路癌中,HER2的表达模式尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 在转移性前列腺癌和泌尿器癌中评估HER2蛋白表达.
- 评估这些晚期癌症中HER2表达的流行率和异质性.
- 在这些患者群体中告知HER2向治疗的潜在实用性.
主要方法:
- 在转移性前列腺癌 (n=52) 和泌尿腺癌 (n=20) 队列的组织微阵列上利用免疫组织化学 (IHC).
- 使用标准化胃癌标准得分HER2表达.
- 在样本子集中对ERBB2变异进行了基因组分析.
主要成果:
- 在转移性前列腺癌中,HER2表达低,没有3+,只有10%显示2+表达;ERBB2副本数量的增加与蛋白质水平无关.
- 在尿路癌中,HER2表达 (≥2+) 在30%的病例中被观察到,15%的病例至少在一个瘤中显示3+表达.
- 与前列腺癌相比,尿癌样本在转移中表现出更一致的HER2表达.
结论:
- 在转移性前列腺癌中,HER2过度表达是罕见的和异质的,限制了其治疗适用性.
- 在尿路癌中,HER2的表达更为普遍和均,这支持了对向治疗的评估.
- 对于晚期泌尿腺癌,全面的HER2评估至关重要,对于前列腺癌的HER2导向疗法,需要小心选择患者.

Mitogens and the Cell Cycle
6.8K
Mitogens and their receptors play a crucial role in controlling the progression of the cell cycle. However, the loss of mitogenic control over cell division leads to tumor formation. Therefore, mitogens and mitogen receptors play an important role in cancer research. For instance, the epidermal growth factor (EGF) - a type of mitogen and its transmembrane receptor (EGFR), decides the fate of the cell's proliferation. When EGF binds to EGFR, a member of the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase...

Targeted Cancer Therapies
7.8K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.

Metastasis
5.7K
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.

The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
