Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate growth factor receptor cross talk with the estrogen receptor (ER) in paired clinical breast cancer specimens and in a xenograft model before tamoxifen and at tumor progression as a possible mechanism for tamoxifen resistance. Methods: Specimen pairs from 39 patients were tissue arrayed and stained for ER, progesterone receptor (PgR), Bcl-2, c-ErbB2 (HER-2), and phosphorylated (p) p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), p-ERK1/2 MAPK, and p-Akt. Xenograft MCF-7 tumors before and after tamoxifen resistance were assessed for levels of p-p38. Results: Pretreatment, there were strong correlations between ER, PgR, and Bcl-2, and an inverse correlation between ER and HER-2. These correlations were lost in the tamoxifen- resistant tumors and replaced by strong correlations between ER and p-p38 and p-ERK. ER expression was lost in 17% of resistant tumors. Three (11%) of the 26 tumors originally negative for HER-2 became amplified and/or overexpressed at resistance. All ER-positive tumors that overexpressed HER-2 originally or at resistance expressed high levels of p-p38. In the pretreatment and tamoxifen-resistant specimens, there were strong correlations between p-p38 and p-ERK. In the tamoxifen-resistant xenograft tumors, like the clinical samples, there was a striking increase in p-p38. Conclusion: The molecular pathways driving tumor growth can change as the tumor progresses. Crosstalk between ER, HER-2, p38, and ERK may contribute to tamoxifen resistance and may provide molecular targets to overcome this resistance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
