Abstract
OBJECTIVE Breast cancer is responsible for most of the cancer-induced deaths in women around the world. The current review will discuss different approaches of targeting HER2, an epidermal growth factor overexpressed in 30% of breast cancer cases. DATA SOURCES We conducted a search on Pubmed and Scopus databases to find studies relevant to HER2+ breast cancers and targeting HER2 as means of immunotherapy. Out of 1043 articles, 105 studies were included in this review. DATA SUMMARY As well as the introduction of HER2 and breast cancer subtypes, we discussed various aspects of HER2-targeting immunotherapy including monoclonal antibodies, Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cells and vaccines. CONCLUSIONS Despite several ways of controlling breast cancer, the need to investigate new drugs and approaches seems to be much significant as this cancer still has a heavy burden on people's health and survival.

Th1 cytokine interferon gamma improves response in HER2 breast cancer by modulating the ubiquitin proteasomal pathway. Mol Ther 2021; 29:1541-1556. [PMID: 33412308 PMCID: PMC8058490 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymthe.2020.12.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2020] [Revised: 10/27/2020] [Accepted: 12/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
HER2 breast cancer (BC) remains a significant problem in patients with locally advanced or metastatic BC. We investigated the relationship between T helper 1 (Th1) immune response and the proteasomal degradation pathway (PDP), in HER2-sensitive and -resistant cells. HER2 overexpression is partially maintained because E3 ubiquitin ligase Cullin5 (CUL5), which degrades HER2, is frequently mutated or underexpressed, while the client-protective co-chaperones cell division cycle 37 (Cdc37) and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) are increased translating to diminished survival. The Th1 cytokine interferon (IFN)-γ caused increased CUL5 expression and marked dissociation of both Cdc37 and Hsp90 from HER2, causing significant surface loss of HER2, diminished growth, and induction of tumor senescence. In HER2-resistant mammary carcinoma, either IFN-γ or Th1-polarizing anti-HER2 vaccination, when administered with anti-HER2 antibodies, demonstrated increased intratumor CUL5 expression, decreased surface HER2, and tumor senescence with significant therapeutic activity. IFN-γ synergized with multiple HER2-targeted agents to decrease surface HER2 expression, resulting in decreased tumor growth. These data suggest a novel function of IFN-γ that regulates HER2 through the PDP pathway and provides an opportunity to impact HER2 responses through anti-tumor immunity.

Abstract
Novel antibody-drug conjugates against HER2 are showing high activity in HER2-negative breast cancer (BC) with low HER2 expression (i.e., 1+ or 2+ and lack of ERBB2 amplification). However, the clinical and molecular features of HER2-low BC are yet to be elucidated. Here, we collected retrospective clinicopathological and PAM50 data from 3,689 patients with HER2-negative disease and made the following observations. First, the proportion of HER2-low was higher in HR-positive disease (65.4%) than triple-negative BC (TNBC, 36.6%). Second, within HR-positive disease, ERBB2 and luminal-related genes were more expressed in HER2-low than HER2 0. In contrast, no gene was found differentially expressed in TNBC according to HER2 expression. Third, within HER2-low, ERBB2 levels were higher in HR-positive disease than TNBC. Fourth, HER2-low was not associated with overall survival in HR-positive disease and TNBC. Finally, the reproducibility of HER2-low among pathologists was suboptimal. This study emphasizes the large biological heterogeneity of HER2-low BC, and the need to implement reproducible and sensitive assays to measure low HER2 expression.

Prognostic and predictive parameters in breast pathology: a pathologist's primer. Mod Pathol 2021; 34:94-106.

Abstract
The pathologist's role in the breast cancer treatment team has evolved from rendering a diagnosis of breast cancer, to providing a growing list of prognostic and predictive parameters such that individualized treatment decisions can be made based on likelihood of benefit from additional treatments and potential benefit from specific therapies. In all stages, ER and HER2 status help segregate breast cancers into treatment groups with similar outcomes and treatment response rates, however, traditional pathologic parameters such as favorable histologic subtype, size, lymph node status, and Nottingham grade also have remained clinically relevant in early stage disease decision-making. This is especially true for the most common subtype of breast cancer; ER positive, HER2 negative disease. For this same group of breast cancers, an ever-expanding list of gene-expression panels also can provide prediction and prognostication about potential chemotherapy benefit beyond standard endocrine therapies, with the 21-gene Recurrence Score, currently the only prospectively validated predictive test for this purpose. In the more aggressive ER-negative cancer subtypes, response to neoadjuvant therapy and` the extent of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are more recently recognized powerful prognostic parameters, and clinical guidelines now offer additional treatment options for those high-risk patients with residual cancer after standard neoadjuvant therapy. In stage four disease, predictive tests like germline BRCA status, tumor PIK3CA mutation status (in ER+ metastatic disease) and PDL-1 status (in triple negative metastatic disease) are now used to determine additional new treatment options. The objective of this review is to describe the latest in prognostic and predictive parameters in breast cancer as they are relevant to standard pathology reporting and how they are used in breast cancer clinical treatment decisions.

Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a rapidly expanding class of biotherapeutics that utilize antibodies to selectively deliver cytotoxic drugs to the tumor site. As of May 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved ten ADCs, namely Adcetris®, Kadcyla®, Besponsa®, Mylotarg®, Polivy®, Padcev®, Enhertu®, Trodelvy®, Blenrep®, and Zynlonta™ as monotherapy or combinational therapy for breast cancer, urothelial cancer, myeloma, acute leukemia, and lymphoma. In addition, over 80 investigational ADCs are currently being evaluated in approximately 150 active clinical trials. Despite the growing interest in ADCs, challenges remain to expand their therapeutic index (with greater efficacy and less toxicity). Recent advances in the manufacturing technology for the antibody, payload, and linker combined with new bioconjugation platforms and state-of-the-art analytical techniques are helping to shape the future development of ADCs. This review highlights the current status of marketed ADCs and those under clinical investigation with a focus on translational strategies to improve product quality, safety, and efficacy.

Abstract
Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are an emerging class of therapeutics that consist of a cytotoxic agent linked covalently to an antibody, which is directed toward a specific cell surface target expressed by tumor cells and/or the microenvironment. ADCs leverage the specificity of the antibody such that it functions as a carrier to deliver the cytotoxic payload into the tumor. Four parameters are considered critical for this class of complex engineered therapeutics: target selection, antibody, cytotoxic payload, as well as conjugation and linker technology. The development of this class of drugs has proven more complex than expected. Several challenges have arisen, including a lack of true tumor antigen specificity, early release of the cytotoxic payload into the bloodstream due to linker instability, and low potency of the payload, resulting in either greater toxicity or lack of improved efficacy compared with unconjugated cytotoxics. The approval of trastuzumab emtansine in 2013 for HER2-positive breast cancer served as a proof of concept that ADCs have therapeutic application in solid tumors. Two novel ADCs have recently been approved: trastuzumab deruxtecan for HER2-positive breast cancer and enfortumab vedotin for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer. Trastuzumab deruxtecan is distinguished by a unique biochemical structure with a novel cytotoxic payload, deruxtecan-a highly potent, topoisomerase I inhibitor. Enfortumab vedotin is directed toward nectin-4 and represents an example of successful and strategic target selection. This review focuses on the concepts underlying the choice of suitable targets and novel payloads, discusses specific examples of ADCs in preclinical and clinical development, and provides future directions related to this unique class of therapeutics.

Abstract
The incidence and mortality of breast cancer (BC) have increased in recent years, and BC is the main cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. One of the most significant clinical problems in the treatment of patients with BC is the development of therapeutic resistance. Therefore, elucidating the molecular mechanisms involved in drug resistance is critical. The therapeutic decision for the management of patients with BC is based not only on the assessment of prognostic factors but also on the evaluation of clinical and pathological parameters. Although this has been a successful approach, some patients relapse and/or eventually develop resistance to treatment. This review is focused on recent studies on the possible biological and molecular mechanisms involved in both response and resistance to treatment in BC. Additionally, emerging treatments that seek to overcome resistance and reduce side effects are also described. A greater understanding of the mechanisms of action of treatments used in BC might contribute not only to the enhancement of our understanding of the mechanisms involved in the development of resistance but also to the optimization of the existing treatment regimens.

Abstract
Chemically modified proteins are increasingly being tested and approved as therapeutic products. Batch-to-batch homogeneity is crucial to ensure safety and quality of therapeutic products. Highly selective protein modification may be achieved using enzymatic routes. Microbial transglutaminase (mTG) is a robust, easy to use and well-established enzyme that is used at a very large scale in the food industry such that its efficacy and its safety for human consumption are well established. In the context of therapeutic protein modification, mTG should crosslink one or more glutamines on the target protein with an aminated moiety such as a solubilizer, a tracer or a cytotoxic moiety. mTG has the advantage of being unreactive toward the majority of surface-exposed glutamines on most proteins, reducing sample heterogeneity. The caveat is that there may be no reactive glutamine on the target protein, or else a reactive glutamine may be found in a location where its modification compromises function of the target protein. Here we describe the glutamine-walk (Gln-walk), a straightforward method to create a glutamine-substrate site that is reactive to mTG in a target protein. Iterative substitution of single amino acids to a glutamine is followed by facile identification of reactivity with mTG, where covalent labeling of the target with an aminated fluorophore allows visualization of the most reactive modified targets. The approach is empirical; knowledge of the target protein structure and functional regions facilitates application of the method.

Molecular Mechanism of HER2 Rapid Internalization and Redirected Trafficking Induced by Anti-HER2 Biparatopic Antibody. Antibodies (Basel) 2020; 9:antib9030049. [PMID: 32961882 PMCID: PMC7551206 DOI: 10.3390/antib9030049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2020] [Revised: 08/21/2020] [Accepted: 09/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Amplification and overexpression of HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2), an ErbB2 receptor tyrosine kinase, have been implicated in human cancer and metastasis. A bispecific tetravalent anti-HER2 antibody (anti-HER2-Bs), targeting two non-overlapping epitopes on HER2 in domain IV (trastuzumab) and domain II (39S), has been reported to induce rapid internalization and efficient degradation of HER2 receptors. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanism of this antibody-induced rapid HER2 internalization and intracellular trafficking. Using quantitative fluorescent imaging, we compared the internalization kinetics of anti-HER2-Bs and its parental arm antibodies, alone or in combinations and under various internalization-promoting conditions. The results demonstrated that concurrent engagement of both epitopes was necessary for rapid anti-HER2-Bs internalization. Cellular uptake of anti-HER2-Bs and parental arm antibodies occurred via clathrin-dependent endocytosis; however, inside the cells antibodies directed different trafficking pathways. Trastuzumab dissociated from HER2 in 2 h, enabling the receptor to recycle, whereas anti-HER2-Bs stayed associated with the receptor throughout the entire endocytic pathway, promoting receptor ubiquitination, trafficking to the lysosomes, and efficient degradation. Consistent with routing HER2 to degradation, anti-HER2-Bs significantly reduced HER2 shedding and altered its exosomal export. Collectively, these results enable a better understanding of the mechanism of action of anti-Her2-Bs and can guide the rational design of anti-HER2 therapeutics as well as other bispecific molecules.

Abstract
Purpose Chemotherapy of colon cancer needs improvement to mitigate the severe adverse effects (AEs) associated with the cytotoxic drugs. The aim of this study is to develop a novel targeted drug delivery system (TDDS) with practical application potential for colon cancer treatment. Methods The TDDS was built by loading docetaxel (DTX) in albumin nanoparticles (NPs) that were functionalized with nucleolin-targeted aptamers (AS1411). Results The TDDS (Apt-NPs-DTX) had an average size of 62 nm and was negatively charged with a zeta potential of −31.2 mV. DTX was released from the albumin NP with a typical sustained release profile. Aptamer-guided NPs were preferentially ingested by nucleolin-expressing CT26 colon cancer cells vs the control cells. In vitro cytotoxicity study showed that Apt-NPs-DTX significantly enhanced the killing of CT26 colon cancer cells. Importantly, compared with non-targeted drug delivery, Apt-NPs-DTX treatment significantly improved antitumor efficacy and prolonged the survival of CT26-bearing mice, without raising systemic toxicity. Conclusion The results suggest that Apt-NPs-DTX has potential in the targeted treatment of colon cancer.

Abstract
Cytotoxic pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD)-dimer molecules are frequently utilized as payloads for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and many examples are currently in clinical development. In order to further explore this ADC payload class, the physicochemical properties of various PBD-dimer molecules were modified by the systematic introduction of acidic and basic moieties into their chemical structures. The impact of these changes on DNA binding, cell membrane permeability, and in vitro antiproliferation potency was, respectively, determined using a DNA alkylation assay, PAMPA assessments, and cell-based cytotoxicity measurements conducted with a variety of cancer lines. The modified PBD-dimer compounds were subsequently incorporated into CD22-targeting ADCs, and these entities were profiled in a variety of in vitro and in vivo experiments. The introduction of a strongly basic moiety into the PBD-dimer scaffold afforded a conjugate with dramatically worsened mouse tolerability properties relative to ADCs derived from related payloads, which lacked the basic group.

Abstract
HER2 overexpression, which occurs in a fifth of diagnosed breast cancers as well as in other types of solid tumors, has been traditionally linked to greater aggressiveness. Nevertheless, the clinical introduction of trastuzumab has helped to improve HER2-positive patients' outcomes. As a consequence, nanotechnology has taken advantage of the beneficial effects of the administration of this antibody and has employed it to develop HER2-targeting nanomedicines with promising therapeutic activity and limited toxicity. In this review, the molecular pathways that could be responsible for trastuzumab antitumor activity will be briefly summarized. In addition, since the conjugation strategies that are followed to develop targeting nanomedicines are essential to maintaining their efficacy and tolerability, the ones most employed to decorate drug-loaded nanoparticles and liposomes with trastuzumab will be discussed here. Thus, the advantages and disadvantages of performing this trastuzumab conjugation through adsorption or covalent bindings (through carbodiimide, maleimide, and click-chemistry) will be described, and several examples of targeting nanovehicles developed following these strategies will be commented on. Moreover, conjugation methods employed to synthesized trastuzumab-based antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), among which T-DM1 is well known, will be also examined. Finally, although trastuzumab-decorated nanoparticles and liposomes and trastuzumab-based ADCs have proven to have better selectivity and efficacy than loaded drugs, trastuzumab administration is sometimes related to side toxicities and the apparition of resistances. For this reason also, this review focuses at last on the important role that newer antibodies and peptides are acquiring these days in the development of HER2-targeting nanomedicines.

Abstract
The development of antibody-drug conjugates composed of a cytotoxic agent and a monoclonal antibody carrier offers an important alternative to classic chemotherapy strategies. Trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201a) is a next-generation antibody-drug conjugate composed of a monoclonal anti-HER2 antibody and a topoisomerase I inhibitor, an exatecan derivative (DX-8951f). DS-8201a resulted in favorable outcomes in HER2-positive heavily pretreated breast cancer patients and also had a promising efficacy in patients with HER2-negative/low-expressing disease, whose options are limited. Interestingly, a recently published phase 2 trial (NCT03248492) reported 60% overall response and 97% disease control in patients with HER2-positive disease previously treated with multiple regimens, including trastuzumab emtansine. On the basis of recent clinical trials, the US Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval to DS-8201a in advanced or unresectable HER2-positive breast cancer pretreated with at least two HER2-targeting treatment lines. We review all preclinical and clinical data of DS-8201a regarding breast cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We herein review some of the major patterns of resistance and lessons learned from the use of earlier targeted therapies in two genotype-driven solid tumors. RECENT FINDINGS Targeted agents have rapidly expanded in the field of oncology over the past 2 decades. The breakthroughs achieved by these agents have been, however, hindered by the inevitable development of drug resistance. Intrinsic or acquired mechanisms of resistance eventually lead to treatment tolerance and tumoral plasticity with phenotypic switch and evasion of the original targeted pathway. Failures in such therapies also result from poor selectivity of the target, drug delivery, and unaffordable costs. SUMMARY Based on above findings, collaborative efforts are advancing at the molecular level to design better drugs or combinatorial strategies and to develop more sensitive assays to monitor responses and the emergence of resistance.

Abstract
The approval of ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in HER2+ metastatic breast cancer validated HER2 as a target for HER2-specific antibody-drug conjugates (ADC). Despite its demonstrated clinical efficacy, certain inherent properties within T-DM1 hamper this compound from achieving the full potential of targeting HER2-expressing solid tumors with ADCs. Here, we detail the discovery of PF-06804103, an anti-HER2 ADC designed to have a widened therapeutic window compared with T-DM1. We utilized an empirical conjugation site screening campaign to identify the engineered ĸkK183C and K290C residues as those that maximized in vivo ADC stability, efficacy, and safety for a four drug-antibody ratio (DAR) ADC with this linker-payload combination. PF-06804103 incorporates the following novel design elements: (i) a new auristatin payload with optimized pharmacodynamic properties, (ii) a cleavable linker for optimized payload release and enhanced antitumor efficacy, and (iii) an engineered cysteine site-specific conjugation approach that overcomes the traditional safety liabilities of conventional conjugates and generates a homogenous drug product with a DAR of 4. PF-06804103 shows (i) an enhanced efficacy against low HER2-expressing breast, gastric, and lung tumor models, (ii) overcomes in vitro- and in vivo-acquired T-DM1 resistance, and (iii) an improved safety profile by enhancing ADC stability, pharmacokinetic parameters, and reducing off-target toxicities. Herein, we showcase our platform approach in optimizing ADC design, resulting in the generation of the anti-HER2 ADC, PF-06804103. The design elements of identifying novel sites of conjugation employed in this study serve as a platform for developing optimized ADCs against other tumor-specific targets.

Abstract
In recent years, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have become promising antitumor agents to be used as one of the tools in personalized cancer medicine. ADCs are comprised of a drug with cytotoxic activity cross-linked to a monoclonal antibody, targeting antigens expressed at higher levels on tumor cells than on normal cells. By providing a selective targeting mechanism for cytotoxic drugs, ADCs improve the therapeutic index in clinical practice. In this review, the chemistry of ADC linker conjugation together with strategies adopted to improve antibody tolerability (by reducing antigenicity) are examined, with particular attention to ADCs approved by the regulatory agencies (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA)) for treating cancer patients. Recent developments in engineering Immunoglobulin (Ig) genes and antibody humanization have greatly reduced some of the problems of the first generation of ADCs, beset by problems, such as random coupling of the payload and immunogenicity of the antibody. ADC development and clinical use is a fast, evolving area, and will likely prove an important modality for the treatment of cancer in the near future.

Abstract
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in approximately 20% of all breast cancers. Before the development of HER2-directed monoclonal antibodies, HER2-positive breast cancer was associated with a rather poor prognosis. With the advent of monoclonal HER2-targeting antibodies (trastuzumab and pertuzumab) and antibody-drug conjugates (trastuzumab emtansine [T-DM1] and trastuzumab deruxtecan), clinical outcomes for HER2-positive breast cancer have dramatically changed, and a greater proportion of patients in the nonmetastatic setting are cured. However, in the metastatic setting, resistance to anti-HER2 treatments still remains a major therapeutic challenge, underscoring the importance of developing novel HER2-directed therapies. Over the last year, there has been a dramatic shift in the current treatment paradigms for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, with recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration approvals of trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201), neratinib, and tucatinib in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine. The authors summarize recent phase 3 data with novel HER2-targeted therapies as well as phase 1 and 2 data with other novel HER2-targeting agents.

Abstract
There has been huge progress in the discovery of targeted cancer therapies in recent years. However, even for the most successful and impactful cancer drugs which have been approved, both innate and acquired mechanisms of resistance are commonplace. These emerging mechanisms of resistance have been studied intensively, which has enabled drug discovery scientists to learn how it may be possible to overcome such resistance in subsequent generations of treatments. In some cases, novel drug candidates have been able to supersede previously approved agents; in other cases they have been used sequentially or in combinations with existing treatments. This review summarizes the current field in terms of the challenges and opportunities that cancer resistance presents to drug discovery scientists, with a focus on small molecule therapeutics. As part of this review, common themes and approaches have been identified which have been utilized to successfully target emerging mechanisms of resistance. This includes the increase in target potency and selectivity, alternative chemical scaffolds, change of mechanism of action (covalents, PROTACs), increases in blood-brain barrier permeability (BBBP), and the targeting of allosteric pockets. Finally, wider approaches are covered such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), bispecific antibodies, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), and combination therapies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in 15-20% of patients with breast cancer. HER2 overexpression is the result of a genetic alteration and this marker is associated with poor clinical outcomes. HER2-targeted therapy can significantly improve the prognosis of patients with either early or advanced HER2-positive breast cancer. One such therapy is the antibody drug conjugate (ADC) trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), a combination of trastuzumab and the cytotoxic antimicrotubule agent DM1. After T-DM1 binds HER2, DM1 is subsequently released into the cell. T-DM1 is generally well tolerated and has a relatively low incidence of adverse events. However, there are clinical concerns regarding T-DM1-induced high-grade thrombocytopenia. METHODS Here, we summarize the incidence of thrombocytopenia from several clinical trials and review experimental studies to explore the causes for T-DM1-induced thrombocytopenia. Progress in several other ADCs targeting HER2-positive breast cancer was also reviewed. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that T-DM1 uptake by megakaryocytes occurs through either Fcγ receptor binding or through pinocytosis, and we suggest several methods through which these processes could be interrupted to potentially improve the clinical safety of T-DM1. More generally, we recommend that toxicity should be carefully addressed during the development of ADCs.

Abstract
Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), an antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) of trastuzumab and cytotoxic agent emtansine (DM1), has been approved for the therapy of metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer after prior treatment of trastuzumab and taxane. The impressive efficacy exhibited by T-DM1 has heightened the need for more further studies on the underlying mechanisms of T-DM1 cytotoxicity. Previous research suggested that autophagy was crucial for cancer therapy, but the role of autophagy in T-DM1 treatment has not been investigated. Here, we demonstrated for the first time that T-DM1 triggered obvious autophagy in HER2-positive SK-BR-3 and BT-474 breast cancer cells. Blocking autophagy with pharmacological inhibitors chloroquine (CQ) or LY294002 partly reduced T-DM1-induced apoptosis and Caspase-3/7 activation, suggesting that autophagy played an essential role in the cytotoxicity induced by T-DM1 in HER2-positive breast cancer cells. Further investigation demonstrated that Akt/mTOR signaling pathway was involved in T-DM1-induced autophagy in a time-dependent manner. Altogether, our results highlighted the important role of autophagy as a novel mechanism for T-DM1-induced cytotoxicity and elucidated the critical relationships between T-DM1-induced autophagy and apoptosis in human HER2-positive breast cancer cells, which provides novel insight into the underlying anti-tumor mechanism of T-DM1.

Abstract
The movement of micro and macro molecules into and within a cell significantly governs several of their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters, thus regulating the cellular response to exogenous and endogenous stimuli. Trafficking of various pharmacological agents and other bioactive molecules throughout and within the cell is necessary for the fidelity of the cells but has been poorly investigated. Novel strategies against cancer and microbial infections need a deeper understanding of membrane as well as subcellular trafficking pathways and essentially regulate several aspects of the initiation and spread of anti-microbial and anti-cancer drug resistance. Furthermore, in order to avail the maximum possible bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy and to restrict the unwanted toxicity of pharmacological bioactives, these sometimes need to be functionalized with targeting ligands to regulate the subcellular trafficking and to enhance the localization. In the recent past the scenario drug targeting has primarily focused on targeting tissue components and cell vicinities, however, it is the membranous and subcellular trafficking system that directs the molecules to plausible locations. The effectiveness of the delivery platforms largely depends on their physicochemical nature, intracellular barriers, and biodistribution of the drugs, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic paradigms. Most subcellular organelles possess some peculiar characteristics by which membranous and subcellular targeting can be manipulated, such as negative transmembrane potential in mitochondria, intraluminal delta pH in a lysosome, and many others. Many specialized methods, which positively promote the subcellular targeting and restrict the off-targeting of the bioactive molecules, exist. Recent advancements in designing the carrier molecules enable the handling of membrane trafficking to facilitate the delivery of active compounds to subcellular localizations. This review aims to cover membrane trafficking pathways which promote the delivery of the active molecule in to the subcellular locations, the associated pathways of the subcellular drug delivery system, and the role of the carrier system in drug delivery techniques.

Abstract
PURPOSE In the absence of head-to-head trial data, network meta-analysis (NMA) was used to compare trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) with other approved treatments for previously treated patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer (BC). METHODS Systematic reviews were conducted of published controlled trials of treatments for unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive BC with early relapse (≤ 6 months) following adjuvant therapy or progression after trastuzumab (Tras) + taxane published from January 1998 to January 2018. Random-effects NMA was conducted for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), and safety endpoints. RESULTS The NMA included regimens from seven randomized controlled trials: T-DM1 and combinations of Tras, capecitabine (Cap), lapatinib (Lap), neratinib, or pertuzumab (Per; unapproved). OS results favored T-DM1 over approved comparators: hazard ratio (HR) (95% credible interval [95% CrI]) vs Cap 0.68 (0.39, 1.10), LapCap 0.76 (0.51, 1.07), TrasCap 0.78 (0.44, 1.19). PFS trends favored T-DM1 over all other treatments: HR (95% CrI) vs Cap 0.38 (0.19, 0.74), LapCap 0.65 (0.40, 1.10), TrasCap 0.62 (0.34, 1.18); ORR with T-DM1 was more favorable than with all approved treatments. In surface under cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) analysis T-DM1 ranked highest for all efficacy outcomes. Discontinuation due to adverse events was less likely with T-DM1 than with all comparators except neratinib. In general, gastrointestinal side effects were less likely and elevated liver transaminases and thrombocytopenia more likely with T-DM1 than with comparators. CONCLUSIONS The efficacy and tolerability profiles of T-DM1 are generally favorable compared with other treatments for unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive BC.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the major causes of mortality in women worldwide. The most aggressive breast cancer subtypes are human epidermal growth factor receptor-positive (HER2+) and triple-negative breast cancers. Therapies targeting HER2 receptors have significantly improved HER2+ breast cancer patient outcomes. However, several recent studies have pointed out the deficiency of existing treatment protocols in combatting disease relapse and improving response rates to treatment. Overriding the inherent actions of the immune system to detect and annihilate cancer via the immune checkpoint pathways is one of the important hallmarks of cancer. Thus, restoration of these pathways by various means of immunomodulation has shown beneficial effects in the management of various types of cancers, including breast. We herein review the recent progress in the management of HER2+ breast cancer via HER2-targeted therapies, and its association with the programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) axis. In order to link research in the areas of medicine and mathematics and point out specific opportunities for providing efficient theoretical analysis related to HER2+ breast cancer management, we also review mathematical models pertaining to the dynamics of HER2+ breast cancer and immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Abstract
c-Met is a promising target in cancer therapy for its intrinsic oncogenic properties. However, there are currently no c-Met-specific inhibitors available in the clinic. Antibodies blocking the interaction with its only known ligand, hepatocyte growth factor, and/or inducing receptor internalization have been clinically tested. To explore other therapeutic antibody mechanisms like Fc-mediated effector function, bispecific T cell engagement, and chimeric antigen T cell receptors, a diverse panel of antibodies is essential. We prepared a chicken immune scFv library, performed four rounds of bio-panning, obtained 641 clones using a high-throughput clonal retrieval system (TrueRepertoireTM, TR), and found 149 antigen-reactive scFv clones. We also prepared phagemid DNA before the start of bio-panning (round 0) and, after each round of bio-panning (round 1-4), performed next-generation sequencing of these five sets of phagemid DNA, and identified 860,207 HCDR3 clonotypes and 443,292 LCDR3 clonotypes along with their clonal abundance data. We then established a TR data set consisting of antigen reactivity for scFv clones found in TR analysis and the clonal abundance of their HCDR3 and LCDR3 clonotypes in five sets of phagemid DNA. Using the TR data set, a random forest machine learning algorithm was trained to predict the binding properties of in silico HCDR3 and LCDR3 clonotypes. Subsequently, we synthesized 40 HCDR3 and 40 LCDR3 clonotypes predicted to be antigen reactive (AR) and constructed a phage-displayed scFv library called the AR library. In parallel, we also prepared an antigen non-reactive (NR) library using 10 HCDR3 and 10 LCDR3 clonotypes predicted to be NR. After a single round of bio-panning, we screened 96 randomly-selected phage clones from the AR library and found out 14 AR scFv clones consisting of 5 HCDR3 and 11 LCDR3 AR clonotypes. We also screened 96 randomly-selected phage clones from the NR library, but did not identify any AR clones. In summary, machine learning algorithms can provide a method for identifying AR antibodies, which allows for the characterization of diverse antibody libraries inaccessible by traditional methods.

Abstract
The ability of monoclonal antibodies to specifically bind a target antigen and neutralize or stimulate its activity is the basis for the rapid growth and development of the therapeutic antibody field. In recent years, traditional immunoglobulin antibodies have been further engineered for better efficacy and safety, and technological developments in the field enabled the design and production of engineered antibodies capable of mediating therapeutic functions hitherto unattainable by conventional antibody formats. Representative of this newer generation of therapeutic antibody formats are bispecific antibodies and antibody–drug conjugates, each with several approved drugs and dozens more in the clinical development phase. In this review, the technological principles and challenges of bispecific antibodies and antibody–drug conjugates are discussed, with emphasis on clinically validated formats but also including recent developments in the fields, many of which are expected to significantly augment the current therapeutic arsenal against cancer and other diseases with unmet medical needs.

Abstract
The approval of ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) for clinical use represented a turning point both in HER2-positive breast cancer treatment and antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technology. T-DM1 has proved its value and effectiveness in advanced metastatic disease as well as in the adjuvant setting. However, its therapeutic potential extends beyond the treatment of breast cancer. Around 100 clinical trials have evaluated or are studying different aspects of T-DM1, such as its role in other HER2 malignancies, rational combinations with immunotherapy, or its function in brain metastasis. Conceptually, many lessons can be learned from this ADC. Understanding its mechanisms of action and the molecular basis underlying resistance to T-DM1 may be relevant to comprehend resistances raised to other ADCs and identify pitfalls that may be overcome.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family contains four transmembrane tyrosine kinases (EGFR1/ErbB1, Her2/ErbB2, Her3/ErbB3 and Her4/ErbB4) and 13 secreted polypeptide ligands. EGFRs are overexpressed in many solid tumors, including breast, pancreas, head-and-neck, prostate, ovarian, renal, colon, and non-small-cell lung cancer. Such overexpression produces strong stimulation of downstream signaling pathways, which induce cell growth, cell differentiation, cell cycle progression, angiogenesis, cell motility and blocking of apoptosis.The high expression and/or functional activation of EGFRs correlates with the pathogenesis and progression of several cancers, which make them attractive targets for both diagnosis and therapy. Several approaches have been developed to target these receptors and/or the EGFR modulated effects in cancer cells. Most approaches include the development of anti-EGFRs antibodies and/or small-molecule EGFR inhibitors. This review presents the state-of-the-art and future prospects of targeting EGFRs to treat breast cancer.

Abstract
The expanding portfolio of biotherapeutics both in the research and development (R&D) and market sectors is shaping new opportunities towards multifunctional biologics (MFBs). The combination of new or pre-existing therapeutic agents into a single multifunctional format makes it possible to develop new pharmacological actions to significantly improve their efficacy and safety. In this review, I focus on novel platform technologies that are being exploited in the biotech industry to produce MFBs with potential therapeutic benefits that include half-life extension, targeted delivery, T cell engagement, and improved vaccination. In this regard, technologies of key importance are site-specific bioconjugation and self-assembly, which allow homogeneous, defined, and scalable process developments for several MFBs that are advancing towards clinical applications.

Abstract
HER2 is an established therapeutic target in a large subset of women with breast cancer; a variety of agents including trastuzumab, pertuzumab, lapatinib, neratinib and trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) have been approved for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. HER2 is also overexpressed in subsets of patients with other solid tumours. Notably, the addition of trastuzumab to first-line chemotherapy has improved the overall survival of patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer, and has become the standard-of-care treatment for this group of patients. However, trials involving pertuzumab, lapatinib and T-DM1 have failed to provide significant improvements in the outcomes of patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer. HER2-targeted therapies are also being tested in patients with other solid tumours harbouring HER2 overexpression, and/or amplifications or other mutations of the gene encoding HER2 (ERBB2), including biliary tract, colorectal, non-small-cell lung and bladder cancers. The experience with gastric cancer suggests that the successes observed in HER2-positive breast cancer might not be replicated in these other tumour types, owing to differences in the level of HER2 overexpression and other aspects of disease biology. In this Review, we describe the current role of HER2-targeted therapies beyond breast cancer and also highlight the potential of novel HER2-targeted agents that are currently in clinical development.

Acquired Resistance to Antibody-Drug Conjugates. Cancers (Basel) 2019; 11:cancers11030394.

Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) combine the tumor selectivity of antibodies with the potency of cytotoxic small molecules thereby constituting antibody-mediated chemotherapy. As this inherently limits the adverse effects of the chemotherapeutic, such approaches are heavily pursued by pharma and biotech companies and have resulted in four FDA (Food and Drug Administration)-approved ADCs. However, as with other cancer therapies, durable responses are limited by the fact that under cell stress exerted by these drugs, tumors can acquire mechanisms of escape. Resistance can develop against the antibody component of ADCs by down-regulation/mutation of the targeted cell surface antigen or against payload toxicity by up-regulation of drug efflux transporters. Unique resistance mechanisms specific for the mode of action of ADCs have also emerged, like altered internalization or cell surface recycling of the targeted tumor antigen, changes in the intracellular routing or processing of ADCs, and impaired release of the toxic payload into the cytosol. These evasive changes are tailored to the specific nature and interplay of the three ADC constituents: the antibody, the linker, and the payload. Hence, they do not necessarily endow broad resistance to ADC therapy. This review summarizes preclinical and clinical findings that shed light on the mechanisms of acquired resistance to ADC therapies.
