In an effort to obtain a MMP selective and potent inhibitor of HER-2 sheddase (ADAM-10), the P1' group of a novel class of (6S,7S)-7-[(hydroxyamino)carbonyl]-6-carboxamide-5-azaspiro[2.5]octane-5-carboxylates was attenuated and the structure-activity relationships (SAR) will be discussed. In addition, it was discovered that unconventional perturbation of the P2' moiety could confer MMP selectivity, which was hypothesized to be a manifestation of the P2' group effecting global conformational changes.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-targeted (HER2-targeted) therapy is the mainstay of treatment for HER2+ breast cancer. However, the proteolytic cleavage of HER2, or HER2 shedding, induces the release of the target epitope at the ectodomain (ECD) and the generation of a constitutively active intracellular fragment (p95HER2), impeding the effectiveness of anti-HER2 therapy. Therefore, identifying key regulators in HER2 shedding might provide promising targetable vulnerabilities against resistance.

Background: Resistance to HER2-targeted therapy with trastuzumab still remains a major challenge in HER2-amplified tumors. Here we investigated the potential role of MEL-18, a polycomb group gene, as a novel prognostic marker for trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer.
Methods: The genetic alteration of MEL-18 and its clinical relevance were examined in multiple breast cancer cohorts including METABRIC (n = 1,980), TCGA (n = 825), and our clinical specimens (n = 213, trastuzumab-treated HER2+ cases).

Background: Serum levels of the extracellular domain of HER2/neu (HER2 ECD) have been demonstrated to be associated with clinical outcomes. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase-10, a sheddase of HER2/neu, can drive cancer progression and its activity is inhibited by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1). However, elevated TIMP-1 expression has been associated with a poor prognosis of breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy and one of the major causes of death among women. Breast cancer is also one of the most investigated diseases but whose biological features are still not well understood, several effective treating strategies having been explored in dealing with different types of advanced breast cancer, such as endocrine therapy and molecular targeted therapy. Trastuzumab is the first approved targeted anti-cancer agent to show an attractive response rate and outcomes in treating HER-2 positive metastatic breast cancer patients.

The receptor tyrosine kinase HER2 is overexpressed in approximately 25% of breast cancers. HER2 acts as a signal amplifier for its siblings, namely three different transmembrane receptors that collectively bind with 11 distinct growth factors of the EGF family. Thus, overexpression of HER2 confers aggressive invasive growth in preclinical models and in patients.
