In this study, an immunosensor based on screen-printed electrode (SPE) has been developed for the detection of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2 (HER2) antigen. The SPEs were fabricated and a sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) format was followed for the construction of the immunosensor. The capture antibody (mouse anti-human ErbB2) was coated onto the electrode surface without any prior surface modification, followed by the addition of recombinant human HER2 antigen. Biotinylated goat anti-human ErbB2 was used as the detection antibody which was linked to streptavidin conjugated horseradish peroxidase (HRP). 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) was used as the substrate. The redox reaction was measured using cyclic voltammetry at scan rate of 50mV/s for the quantification of the antigen in solution. The biotin-avidin chemistry enabled the accurate detection of the antigen in nanogram levels. The amperometric signal obtained increased linearly with increase in the HER2 concentration and two-fold linear range was obtained between 5ng/ml-20ng/ml and 20-200ng/ml respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) of this immunosensor were found to be 4ng/ml and 5ng/ml respectively. The detection of HER2 in the serum samples of invasive and non-invasive breast cancer patients has been realized.

Computational-aided rational mutation design of pertuzumab to overcome active HER2 mutation S310F through antibody-drug conjugates.

Recurrent missense mutations in the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) have been identified across various human cancers. Among these mutations, the active S310F mutation in the HER2 extracellular domain stands out as not only oncogenic but also confers resistance to pertuzumab, an antibody drug widely used in clinical cancer therapy, by impeding its binding. In this study, we have successfully employed computational-aided rational design to undertake directed evolution of pertuzumab, resulting in the creation of an evolved pertuzumab variant named Ptz-SA.

To assess whether metabolic syndrome can be used as a reference index to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer (BC). Seventy cases of female BC patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment and surgical treatment at the Glandular Surgery Department of Hebei Provincial People's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected, and clinical data such as puncture pathology were recorded. The clinical data were analyzed by 1-way analysis using the χ2 test, and further multifactorial logistic regression analysis was performed for statistically significant differences.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effects of a combination therapy (apatinib and trastuzumab-based chemotherapy) on patients with primary trastuzumab resistance (PTR) in HER2-positive breast cancer.
- A total of 20 PTR patients were treated, showing a clinical benefit rate of 55%, though no complete responses were observed, and median progression-free survival was 5.7 months.
- While the treatment had manageable side effects, further research is recommended to better identify which PTR patients could potentially benefit from this therapy.

Sushi domain-containing protein 2 (SUSD2), a transmembrane protein containing a sushi motif, has been reported to have tumor-promoting functions in various types of cancer, including breast cancer. However, the regulatory mechanism of SUSD2 and its function in HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer have not been fully identified as yet. In this study, we explored the potential of targeting SUSD2 to overcome trastuzumab (TRZ) resistance in HER2+ breast cancer.

Immune cell engagers are molecular agents, usually antibody-based constructs, engineered to recruit immune cells against cancer cells and kill them. They are versatile and powerful tools for cancer immunotherapy. Despite the multiplication of engagers tested and accepted in the clinic, how molecular and cellular parameters influence their actions is poorly understood.
