Monoclonal antibody therapy of human cancer: Taking the HER2 protooncogene to the clinic

Abstract: The HER2 protooncogene encodes a 185-kDa transmembrane protein (p185HER2) with extensive homology to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor. Clinical and experimental evidence supports a role for overexpression of the HER2 protooncogene in the progression of human breast, ovarian, and non-small cell lung carcinoma. These data also support the hypothesis that p185HER2 present on the surface of overexpressing tumor cells may be a good target for receptor-targeted therapeutics. The anti-p185HER2 murine monocl… Show more

“…The mAb 4D5 was selected among a panel of mouse anti-HER2 antibodies at Genentech Inc. (South San Francisco, CA, USA) for development because of its antitumor effects in vitro and in mouse models (Hudziak et al, 1989;Shepard et al, 1991). Mouse mAb 4D5 was humanized for clinical use yielding several humanized variants.…”

“…Antibodies against the extracellular domain have had better success in preventing EGFR-driven (Mendelsohn et al 1992;Naramura et al, 1993;Fan et al, 1993) or Her-2-driven (Drebin et al, 1985(Drebin et al, , 1986Stancovski et al, 1991;Shepard et al, 1991 ;Harwerth et al, 1993;Kern et al, 1993;Lewis et al, 1993) tumor growth. Thus Her-2 and EGFR antibodies are currently in clinical trials.…”

“…Glycoproteins are involved in various molecular and cellular mechanisms, including development, growth, communication, and especially in cancer progression. Some glycoproteins have been successfully applied in clinical treatment or diagnosis, such as Her2/neu for breast cancer, CA125 for ovarian cancer, and prostate-specific antigen for prostate cancer [1,2].…”

“…However, many glycoproteins with important biological functions are of low abundance, as above-mentioned CA125 and prostate-specific antigen [1][2][3][4]. When further treated with enzyme, the glycopeptides are only 2-5% in the digests.…”
