摘要
Trastuzumab is used to treat HER2-amplified metastatic gastric cancer; however, most patients become trastuzumab-resistant within a year. Knowledge of the mechanisms underlying trastuzumab resistance is required to overcome this limitation. Here, we aimed to elucidate this resistance mechanism using four trastuzumab-resistant (TR) cell lines and investigate the efficacy of HER2-targeted therapies to overcome treatment resistance. Each TR cell line had different phenotypic characteristics. Interestingly, HER2 expression remained as high as the parental cell lines in TR cell lines, suggesting that HER2-targeted agents were still useful. As expected, three tyrosine kinase inhibitors (lapatinib, neratinib, and tucatinib) and one antibody–drug conjugate (trastuzumab deruxtecan: T-DXd) exhibited good antitumor effects against TR cell lines. We further investigated the potential biological mechanism of T-DXd. When treated with trastuzumab or T-DXd, HER2 or its downstream signals were disrupted in parental cell lines, but not in TR cell lines. Moreover, T-DXd induced the expression of pH2A.X and cPARP and caused cell cycle arrest in the S or G2-M phase in TR cell lines. T-DXd showed promising antitumor activity in both parental and TR cell lines, suggesting that it is a potential candidate for overcoming trastuzumab resistance.
