18
Mechanisms of Action of Anti-HER2 Therapies
Rimawi et el, AnnuRev Med 2015
19
Potential Mechanisms of Resistance to Anti-HER2 Therapies
• Within the HER Network Receptor Layer• Compensatory Alternative Signaling and Survival
Pathways• Hyperactivation of Downstream Kinase Pathways• Deregulation of Apoptotic and Cell-Cycle Control
Regulators• Host and Tumour Microenvironment-Associated
20
Within the HER2 Network
• Truncated forms of HER2 (eg p95-HER2) which lack the trastuzumab-binding epitope.
• More Constitutively Activated Receptors– HER2 extracellular –domain splice variant 16, which increases
stabilisation of HER2 homodimers.– Activating mutations in the kinase and the extracellular domains
of HER2• Decrease or Increase in HER2 Expression• Increased Expression of HER1 and/or HER3(Prof Yoon),
or excess ligands for these receptors.
21
Truncated HER2 (p95HER2)• Expressed in
~1/3 HER2+ tumours.
• High p95HER2 associated with worse outcomes in metastatic and non-metastatic setting.
• ? differential sensitivity to lapatinib; not proven.

22
HER2 extracellular-domain splice variant 16• HER2Δ16 forms stable
dimers, couples to multiple oncogenic signaling pathways and cooperates with Srckinase to promote cell invasion.
• HER2Δ16 expression is significantly associated with node+ breast cancer.
• HER2Δ16 expression enhances cell tumorigenicity.
• HER2Δ16-expressing cells are trastuzumabresistant but are sensitive to dasatinib
Mitra et al, Molecular Cancer Therapeutics 2009
23
Mutations in the kinase and the extracellular domains of HER2
• Previously described in HER2– tumors and recently in some primary and metastatic HER2+breast cancers
Park et al, Oncotarget 2015
24
Increased expression of HER2
Vasquez‐Martin et al, Int J Oncol 2007
Pharmacological blockade of Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN) reverses acquired autoresistance to trastuzumab by transcriptionally inhibiting ‘HER2 super-expression’ occurring in high-dose trastuzumab-conditioned SKBR3/Tzb100 breast cancer cells.
25
Loss of/Decrease in HER2 Expression• Eradication of HER2+ clones may lead to expansion of
HER2- cells with clonal selection and heterogeneity.• Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT)
MartinCastillo et al, Oncotarget 2015
26
Framework for predicting the response of clinical HER2+ tumours to trastuzumab?
MartinCastillo et al, Oncotarget 2015
27
Other Mechanisms within the HER Network• Increased HER1 or HER3 expression (Prof Yoon) • Steric hindrance of HER2-antibody interaction by
membrane-associated glycoproteins eg MUC1, MUC4
Nagy et al, Ca Res 2005Pohlmann et al, CCR 2009
28
Activation of Compensatory and Alternative Signaling and Survival Pathways
• Receptor Tyrosine Kinase– IGF-1R; c-MET
• ER and additional transcription factors Raghav et al, CCR 2012; Pohlmann et al, CCR 2009
29
HER2-Estrogen Receptor (ER) Cross-Talk• Bi-directional signaling between
ER and HER2 • HER2 downstream activation can
lead to ER activation and endocrine therapy resistance
• Blockade of HER2 signalingleads to increased transcriptional activity of ER-related genes
• The combination of an antiestrogen with an HER2 inhibitor results in enhanced anti-tumor activity in preclinical models of ER+/HER2+ breast tumors.
Montemurro et al, Ann Onc 2013
30
Hyperactivation of Downstream Kinase Pathways
• PTEN/PI3K/Akt (covered by Prof Im)
• SRC family kinases (SFK)– Resistance to lapatinib: Upregulation of SFK activity; associated
with PI3K-Akt signalling.– Resistance to trastuzumab: PTEN no longer capable of
dephosphorylating Src.– Src activity also involved in resistance conferred by D16 HER2
isoform.– Src kinase mediates at least part of the resistance conferred by
activation of the erythropoietin receptor. EpoR activates Src via Jak2 and Src associates with HER2, where it is proposed to phosphorylate and inhibit PTEN.
– Activation of EphA2 seen after chronic trastuzumab treatment and onset of trastuzumab resistance is also mediated through Src.
Zhang et al, Muthuswamy Nature Med 2011
31
Activation of SRC and Trastuzumab Resistance
Zhang et al, Muthuswamy Nature Med 2011
32
Deregulation of Apoptotic and Cell-Cycle Control Regulators
• Upregulation of cell-cycle positive regulators – eg amplification of cyclin E
• Downregulation of cell-cycle negative regulators – eg CDK inhibitor p27Kip1.
• Upregulation of prosurvival factors– eg survivin, antiapoptotic Mcl-1
• Downregulation of proapoptotic molecules– eg BIM
Scaltriti et al, PNAS 2011; Nahta et al, Ca Res 2004; Tanizaki et al, Oncogene 2011
33
Host and Tumour Microenvironment-Associated Mechanisms of Resistance
• Trastuzumab triggers antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) by interacting with the Fc receptors on immune effector cells.
Pohlmann et al, CCR 2009
