Abstrakt: Background: The anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab is a standard treatment for gastric carcinoma with HER2 overexpression, but not all patients benefit from treatment with HER2-targeted therapies due to intrinsic and acquired resistance. Thus, more precise predictors for selecting patients to receive trastuzumab therapy are urgently needed.
Methods: We applied mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis to 38 HER2-positive gastric tumor biopsies from 19 patients pretreated with trastuzumab (responders n = 10; nonresponders, n = 9) to identify factors that may influence innate sensitivity or resistance to trastuzumab therapy and validated the results in tumor cells and patient samples.
Results: Statistical analyses revealed significantly lower phosphorylated ribosomal S6 (p-RPS6) levels in responders than nonresponders, and this downregulation was associated with a durable response and better overall survival after anti-HER2 therapy. High p-RPS6 levels could trigger AKT/mTOR/RPS6 signaling and inhibit trastuzumab antitumor efficacy in nonresponders. We demonstrated that RPS6 phosphorylation inhibitors in combination with trastuzumab effectively suppressed HER2-positive GC cell survival through the inhibition of the AKT/mTOR/RPS6 axis.
Conclusions: Our findings provide for the first time a detailed proteomics profile of current protein alterations in patients before anti-HER2 therapy and present a novel and optimal predictor for the response to trastuzumab treatment. HER2-positive GC patients with low expression of p-RPS6 are more likely to benefit from trastuzumab therapy than those with high expression. However, those with high expression of p-RPS6 may benefit from trastuzumab in combination with RPS6 phosphorylation inhibitors.
