ERBB receptors and cancer: the complexity of targeted inhibitors.

TLDR
This work discusses the significance of these receptors as clinical targets, in particular the molecular mechanisms underlying response, and many ERBB inhibitors used in the clinic.
Abstract
ERBB receptor tyrosine kinases have important roles in human cancer. In particular, the expression or activation of epidermal growth factor receptor and ERBB2 are altered in many epithelial tumours, and clinical studies indicate that they have important roles in tumour aetiology and progression. Accordingly, these receptors have been intensely studied to understand their importance in cancer biology and as therapeutic targets, and many ERBB inhibitors are now used in the clinic. We will discuss the significance of these receptors as clinical targets, in particular the molecular mechanisms underlying response.

Bispecific Antibody to ErbB2 Overcomes Trastuzumab Resistance through Comprehensive Blockade of ErbB2 Heterodimerization

TL;DR: The development of a bispecific anti-ErbB2 antibody that retained the full binding activities of both parental antibodies and exhibited pharmacokinetic properties similar to those of a conventional immunoglobulin G molecule warrants its consideration as a promising treatment in the clinic.

Crucial involvement of the CCL3-CCR5 axis-mediated fibroblast accumulation in colitis-associated carcinogenesis in mice.

TL;DR: CCL3‐CCR5‐mediated fibroblast accumulation may be required, in addition to leukocyte infiltration, to induce full‐blown colitis‐associated carcinogenesis, and shed light on a therapeutic potential of CCR5 antagonist for patients with colitis-associated cancer.

Marsdenia tenacissima extract restored gefitinib sensitivity in resistant non-small cell lung cancer cells.

TL;DR: It is found that the M→M+G treatment improved the sensitivity of resistant NSCLC cells carrying T790M or K-ras mutations to gefitinib, suggesting that theM→M-G treatment may be a promising therapeutic strategy to overcome gefITinib resistance in NSCLc.

Human breast cancer: correlation of relapse and survival with amplification of the HER-2/neu oncogene

TL;DR: Amplification of the HER-2/neu gene was a significant predictor of both overall survival and time to relapse in patients with breast cancer, and had greater prognostic value than most currently used prognostic factors in lymph node-positive disease.

Activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor underlying responsiveness of non-small-cell lung cancer to gefitinib

TL;DR: A subgroup of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer have specific mutations in the EGFR gene which correlate with clinical responsiveness to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib, and these mutations lead to increased growth factor signaling and confer susceptibility to the inhibitor.

Use of Chemotherapy plus a Monoclonal Antibody against HER2 for Metastatic Breast Cancer That Overexpresses HER2

TL;DR: The addition of trastuzumab to chemotherapy was associated with a longer time to disease progression, a higher rate of objective response, a longer duration of response, and a lower rate of death at 1 year.
