“…One of the monoclonal antibodies, mAb7.16.4, has a shared epitope with trastuzumab, a FDA approved therapeutic agent in clinical use (Zhang et al, 1999). 7.16.4 is active on Erbb2/neu transformed rodent and human tumors in a variety of assays (Cai et al, 2013; Zhang et al, 1999). 7.16.4 has been used in many labs around the world in transgenic animal models of tumors induced by the neu oncogene (Katsumata et al, 1995; Park et al, 2010; Stagg et al, 2011).…”

p300 is one of several acetyltransferases that regulate FOXP3 acetylation and functions. Our recent studies have defined a complex set of histone acetyltransferase interactions which can lead to enhanced or repressed changes in FOXP3 function. We have explored the use of a natural p300 inhibitor, Garcinol, as a tool to understand mechanisms by which p300 regulates FOXP3 acetylation. In the presence of Garcinol, p300 appears to become disassociated from the FOXP3 complex and undergoes lysosome-dependent degradation. As a consequence of p300's physical absence, FOXP3 becomes less acetylated and eventually degraded, a process that cannot be rescued by the proteasome inhibitor MG132. p300 plays a complex role in FOXP3 acetylation, as it could also acetylate a subset of four Lys residues that repressively regulate total FOXP3 acetylation. Garcinol acts as a degradation device to reduce the suppressive activity of regulatory T cells (Treg) and to enhance the in vivo anti-tumor activity of a targeted therapeutic anti-p185her2/neu (ERBB2) antibody in MMTV-neu transgenics implanted with neu transformed breast tumor cells. Our studies provide the rationale for molecules that disrupt p300 stability to limit Treg functions in targeted therapies for cancers.

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) take the advantage of monoclonal antibodies to selectively deliver highly potent cytotoxic drugs to tumor cells, which have become a powerful measure for cancer treatment in recent years. To develop a more effective therapy for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive cancer, we explored a novel ADCs composed of anti-HER2 scFv–HSA fusion antibodies conjugates with a potent cytotoxic drug DM1. The resulting ADCs, T-SA1–DM1 and T-SA2–DM1 (drug-to-antibody ratio in the range of 3.2–3.5) displayed efficient inhibition in the growth of HER2-positive tumor cell lines and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration on SKBR-3 and SKOV3 cells were both at the nanomolar levels in vitro. In HER2-positive human ovarian cancer xenograft models, T-SA1–DM1 and T-SA2–DM1 also showed remarkable antitumor activity. Importantly, three out of six mice exhibited complete remission without regrowth in the high-dose group of T-SA1–DM1. On the basis of the analysis of luminescence imaging, anti-HER2 scFv–HSA fusion antibodies, especially T-SA1, showed strong and rapid tumor tissue penetrability and distribution compared with trastuzumab. Collectively, the novel type of ADCs is effective and selective targeting to HER2-positive cancer, and may be a promising antitumor drug candidate for further studies.

“…Another way to potentially enhance the antitumor efficacy of HER2-targeted mAbs is through the modification of the HER2 single-chain variable fragment (scFv) domain, which binds a target protein other than HER2 30 . Greene et al reported the results of a breast cancer xenograft model, demonstrating the antitumor efficacy of a HER2 scFv and an IFN-γ engineered protein 31 .…”

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2 +) breast cancer accounts for~25% of breast cancer cases. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against HER2 have led to unparalleled clinical benefit for a subset of patients with HER2 + breast cancer. In this narrative review, we summarize advances in the understanding of immune system interactions, examine clinical developments, and suggest rationales for future investigation of immunotherapies for HER2 + breast cancer. Complex interactions have been found between different branches of the immune system, HER2 + breast cancer, and targeted treatments (approved and under investigation). A new wave of immunotherapies, such as novel HER2-directed mAbs, antibody drug conjugates, vaccines, and adoptive T-cell therapies, are being studied in a broad population of patients with HER2-expressing tumors. The development of immunotherapies for HER2 + breast cancer represents an evolving field that should take into account interactions between different components of the immune system.
