Experimental Therapeutics

The Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor ZD1839 ("Iressa") Inhibits HER2-driven Signaling and Suppresses the Growth of HER2-overexpressing Tumor Cells1

Mark M. Moasser2, Andrea Basso, Steven D. Averbuch and Neal Rosen

Department of Medicine [M. M. M., N. R.] and Program in Cell Biology [N. R.], Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York 10021; Program in Pharmacology, Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences of Cornell University, New York, New York 10021 [A. B.]; and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, Wilmington, Delaware 19850 and Macclesfield, Cheshire, United Kingdom SK10 4TG [S. D. A.]

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is commonly overexpressed in many human tumors and provides a new target for anticancer drug development. ZD1839 ("Iressa"), a quinazoline tyrosine kinase inhibitor selective for the EGFR, has shown good activity in preclinical studies and in the early phase of clinical trials. However, because it remains unclear which tumor types are the best targets for treatment with this agent, the molecular characteristics that correlate with tumor sensitivity to ZD1839 have been studied. In a panel of human breast cancer and other epithelial tumor cell lines, HER2-overexpressing tumors were particularly sensitive to ZD1839. Growth inhibition of these tumor cell lines was associated with the dephosphorylation of EGFR, HER2, and HER3, accompanied by the loss of association of HER3 with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and down-regulation of Akt activity. These studies suggest that HER2-overexpressing tumors are particularly susceptible to the inhibition of HER family tyrosine kinase signaling and suggest novel strategies to treat these particularly aggressive tumors.
