Abstract | The prognostic significance of HER2 expression in human breast carcinomas is beyond dispute nowadays. The HER family of receptor tyrosine kinases comprises four members (HER1/ErbB1/EGFR, HER2/ErbB2, HER3/ErbB3, and HER4/ErbB4) that act in concert via transactivation and consequently compose a functional signaling unit. Besides HER2 overexpression, coexpression of other HER receptors has substantial impact on course of disease and potential therapeutic benefit. This observation is substantiated by numerous preclinical studies and retrospective studies done on patients with breast cancer. Against this background, the quantification of all HER receptor expressions at the same time would significantly extend the information content revealed by routine diagnosis of breast cancer tissues. Moreover, the knowledge of HER receptor coexpression profiles in primary tumor samples could provide the basis to design and develop highly specific antireceptor treatment strategies. Here, we report on a simultaneous flow cytometric detection of all four HER receptors on carcinoma cells isolated from primary breast cancer tissues and separated from nonepithelial cells by cytokeratin staining. Combined with DNA, i.e. ploidy quantification, the approach resulted in a six-parameter assay that could complement the diagnosis of a variety of diseases in which HER receptor expression has a pivotal impact on the degree of malignancy. |
