PURPOSE : The aim of the study was not only to detect micrometastatic cells in bone marrow , but also to assess the expression of nuclear proliferation markers ( Ki 67 and p 120 ) and the erbB 2 oncogene ( also known as ERBB 2 ) in these cells and , thus , hopefully improve prognostic precision . ^^^ After primary screening of all marrow samples with MAb CK 2 , representative subgroups of CK18+ samples were selected for co labeling with MAbs either to ErbB ( n = 16 ) , ErbB 2 ( n = 121 ) , Ki 67 ( n = 33 ) , or p 120 ( n = 36 ) protein . ^^^ CONCLUSIONS : The high incidence of ErbB 2 expression on micrometastatic breast cancer cells in the bone marrow suggests that these cells might have been positively selected during early stages of metastasis . ^^^

By constructing stably transfected cells harboring the same amount of epidermal growth factor ( EGF ) receptor ( EGFR ) , but with increasing overexpression of ErbB 2 , we have demonstrated that ErbB 2 efficiently inhibits internalization of ligand bound EGFR . ^^^ Apparently , ErbB 2 inhibits internalization of EGF bound EGFR by constitutively driving EGFR ErbB 2 hetero / oligomerization . ^^^ We have demonstrated that ErbB 2 does not inhibit phosphorylation or ubiquitination of the EGFR . ^^^ Our data further indicate that the endocytosis deficiency of ErbB 2 and of EGFR ErbB 2 heterodimers / oligomers can not be explained by anchoring of ErbB 2 to PDZ containing proteins such as Erbin . ^^^ Instead , we demonstrate that in contrast to EGFR homodimers , which are capable of inducing new clathrin coated pits in serum starved cells upon incubation with EGF , clathrin coated pits are not induced upon activation of EGFR ErbB 2 heterodimers / oligomers . . ^^^

ZD 1839 , a specific epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR ) tyrosine kinase inhibitor , induces the formation of inactive EGFR / HER2 and EGFR / HER3 heterodimers and prevents heregulin signaling in HER 2 overexpressing breast cancer cells . ^^^ Our aim was to explore the effects of ZD 1839 in breast cancer cell lines expressing different levels of EGFR and the closely related HER 2 receptor . ^^^ RESULTS : ZD 1839 was an equally potent inhibitor of growth in breast cancer cells expressing high levels of EGFR and HER 2 . ^^^ Because ZD 1839 does not inhibit the HER 2 tyrosine kinase in vitro , and because heregulin is a ligand that activates HER 2 by binding to HER 3 and HER 4 but does not bind to the EGFR , our findings suggested that ZD 1839 interfered with HER 2 function in intact cells . ^^^ CONCLUSIONS : ZD 1839 inhibits the growth of HER 2 overexpressing breast cancer cells , possibly by sequestration of HER 2 and HER 3 receptors in an inactive heterodimer configuration with the EGFR . ^^^

Expression patterns of ER alpha , PR , HER 2 / neu , and EGFR in different cell origin subtypes of high grade and non high grade ductal carcinoma in situ . ^^^ Using a panel of antibodies to ER alpha , PR , HER 2 / neu , and EGFR , along with cytokeratin ( CK ) markers ( CK5 / 6 , CK 8 , CK 14 , CK 17 , and CK 18 ) , we found that all 3 cell origin subtypes can express ER alpha and PR , and their expression is higher in non high grade DCIS than in high grade DCIS ; the expression of HER 2 / neu is associated with luminal subtype only in non high grade DCIS , but can be seen in all 3 subtypes in high grade DCIS ; the expression of EGFR is low and is present only in luminal cell subtypes in both high and non high grade DCIS . ^^^ In conclusion , the expression patterns of ER alpha , PR , HER 2 / neu , and EGFR are markedly different in different cell origin subtypes of both high grade and non high grade DCIS , suggesting that cell origin subtypes as well as nuclear grade contribute to the biological and molecular heterogeneity of DCIS . . ^^^ Here we refine the relationships between these 3 subtypes and the expression patterns of estrogen receptor alpha ( ER alpha ) , progesterone receptor ( PR ) , HER 2 / neu , and epidermal growth factor receptor ( ERFR ) in 53 cases of non high grade and 46 cases of high nuclear grade DCIS . ^^^
