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.

ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase/NF-κB signaling controls mammosphere formation in human breast cancer

TL;DR: It is found that heregulin (HRG), a ligand for ErbB3, induced mammosphere formation of a breast cancer stem cell–enriched population as well as in breast cancer cell lines, and the expression of IL8, a regulator of self-renewal in BCSC-enriched populations, was induced by HRG through the activation of the PI3K/NF-κB pathway.

Construction of a fully retargeted herpes simplex virus 1 recombinant capable of entering cells solely via human epidermal growth factor receptor 2.

TL;DR: The objective of this work was to genetically engineer an HSV that selectively targets the HER2-expressing tumor cells and that has lost the ability to enter cells through the natural gD receptors, HVEM and nectin1.

Interaction of antibodies with ErbB receptor extracellular regions

TL;DR: Information about antibody interactions with the structurally well-characterized soluble extracellular regions of ErbB receptors can be combined with the rich knowledge of the effects of these antibodies in cultured cells, and in vivo, to provide insights into the conformation and activation of ErBB receptors at the cell surface.

Functional and Structural Stability of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor in Detergent Micelles and Phospholipid Nanodiscs

TL;DR: Rec recombinant EGFR constructs containing the extracellular, transmembrane, juxtamembrane and kinase domains are overexpressed and purified from human embryonic kidney 293 cell cultures and the oligomerization state, overall structure, and functional stability of the purified EGF-bound receptor are characterized in detergent micelles and phospholipid bilayers.

Targeting EGFRL858R/T790M and EGFRL858R/T790M/C797S resistance mutations in NSCLC: Current developments in medicinal chemistry.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the mechanisms of acquired resistance and the latest medicinal chemistry advances on the third‐ and fourth‐generation EGFR inhibitors, with special attention being paid to the allosteric and reversible inhibitors combating the tertiary EGFRC797S mutation.

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.
