Therapeutic strategies against hormonal receptor-positive (HR)/HER2 breast cancers with poor response to trastuzumab need to be optimized. Two HR/HER2 patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models named as COH-SC1 and COH-SC31 were established to explore targeted therapies for HER2 breast cancers. RNA sequencing and RPPA (reverse phase protein array) analyses were conducted to decipher molecular features of the two PDXs and define the therapeutic strategy of interest, validated by drug efficacy examination and cell proliferation analysis.
