Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies provide evidence that in vivo metabolites are associated with breast cancer (BC). However, the causal relationship between blood metabolites and BC remains unclear. METHOD Comprehensive two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis was conducted to determine the causal association between 1400 publicly available genetic data on metabolic factors and human epidermal growth factor receptor positive (HER+) BC or HER- BC in this study. RESULT Epiandrosterone sulfate levels (OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 1.02 ~ 1.10, p = 0.0013), 5alpha-androstan-3beta,17beta-diol monosulfate (2) levels (OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 1.03 ~ 1.12, p = 0.0012), glycohyocholate levels (OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.77 ~ 0.93, p = 0.0007) and etiocholanolone glucuronide levels (OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.05 ~ 1.20, p = 0.0013) were causally correlated with HER+ BC. 5 metabolites were causally correlated with HER- BC: Vanillic acid glycine levels (OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.06 ~ 1.22, p = 0.0003), Thyroxine levels (OR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.11 ~ 1.44, p = 0.0004), 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-GPI (16:0/18:2) levels (OR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.79 ~ 0.94, p = 0.0010), N-acetylphenylalanine levels (OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.05 ~ 1.19, p = 0.0007) and Glucose-to-mannose ratio (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.06 ~ 1.24, p = 0.0008). Two common causally related metabolites were identified: Gamma-glutamyl glutamate and X-12849 levels. CONCLUSIONS Our study has respectively demonstrated the connection between blood metabolites and HER+ or HER- BC by genetic means, thereby offering opportunities for therapeutic targets.

Abstract
AIMS To use population physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PopPBPK) modelling to optimize target expression, kinetics and clearance of HER1/2 directed therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Thus, to propose a general workflow of PopPBPK modelling and its application in clinical pharmacology. METHODS Full PBPK model of pertuzumab (PTZ) was developed in patient population using Simcyp V21R1 incorporating mechanistic targeted-mediated drug disposition process by fitting known clinical PK and sparse receptor proteomics data to optimize target expression and kinetics of HER2 receptor. Trastuzumab (TTZ) PBPK modelling was used to validate the optimized HER2 target. Additionally, the simulator was also used to develop a full PBPK model for the HER1-directed mAb cetuximab (CTX) to assess the underlying targeted-mediated drug disposition-independent elimination mechanisms. RESULTS HER2 final parameterisation coming from the PBPK modelling of PTZ was successfully cross validated through PBPK modelling of TTZ with average fold error (AFE), absolute AFE and percent prediction error values for area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) of 1.13, 1.16 and 16, and 1.01, 1.07 and 7, respectively. CTX PBPK model performance was validated after the incorporation of an additional systemic clearance of 0.033 L/h as AFE and absolute AFE showed an acceptable predictive power of AUC and Cmax with percent prediction error of 13% for AUC and 10% for Cmax . CONCLUSIONS Optimisation of both system and drug related parameters were performed through PBPK modelling to improve model performance of therapeutic mAbs (PTZ, TTZ and CTX). General workflow was proposed to develop and apply PopPBPK to support clinical development of mAbs targeting same receptor.

Abstract
In this work we proposed a population physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (popPBPK) framework for quantifying and predicting inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability using the anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) trastuzumab as an example. First, a PBPK model was developed to account for the possible mechanistic sources of variability. Within the model, five key factors that contribute to variability were identified and the nature of their contribution was quantified with local and global sensitivity analyses. The five key factors were the concentration of membrane-bound HER2 ([Formula: see text]), the convective flow rate of mAb through vascular pores ([Formula: see text]), the endocytic transport rate of mAb through vascular endothelium ([Formula: see text]), the degradation rate of mAb-HER2 complexes ([Formula: see text]) and the concentration of shed HER2 extracellular domain in circulation ([Formula: see text]). [Formula: see text] was the most important parameter governing trastuzumab distribution into tissues and primarily affected variability in the first 500 h post-administration. [Formula: see text] was the most significant contributor to variability in clearance. These findings were used together with population generation methods to accurately predict the observed variability in four experimental trials with trastuzumab. To explore anthropometric sources of variability, virtual populations were created to represent participants in the four experimental trials. Using populations with only their expected anthropometric diversity resulted in under-prediction of the observed inter-individual variability. Adapting the populations to include literature-based variability around the five key parameters enabled accurate predictions of the variability in the four trials. The successful application of this framework demonstrates the utility of popPBPK methods to understand the mechanistic underpinnings of pharmacokinetic variability.

Abstract
Prognostic and predictive markers utilized in invasive breast carcinoma are limited and include ER, PR, Ki67, and ERBB2 (HER2). In the case of HER2, over-expression or amplification serves as eligibility for anti-HER2 based therapy, including trastuzumab (Herceptin®, Genentech). While clinical trials have shown trastuzumab improves overall survival and time to progression, an individual's response to anti-HER2 based therapy is highly variable. This suggests that, in a “uniform” HER2 positive population, additional markers could help in predicting patient outcome to therapy. Here we utilized a recently validated high-specificity HER4 antibody (E200) and generated a standard clinical HER4 scoring algorithm (HER4 H-Score) utilizing two breast carcinoma cohorts: 1) patients receiving neoadjuvant trastuzumab (n=47) and 2) patients receiving trastuzumab for metastatic disease (n=33). Our HER4 H-Score showed significant correlation with high sensitivity RT-qPCR performed on matched patients (p=<0.0001). In addition, patients with HER2/HER4 co-over-expression status showed a significant delay in development of metastasis after neo-adjuvant trastuzumab therapy (p= 0.04) and showed a significant improvement in progression free survival after adjuvant trastuzumab therapy (p=0.03). These findings suggest HER4 IHC, used in conjunction with a standard HER2 testing algorithm, could aid in predicting clinical outcome and help identify patients likely to show improved response to trastuzumab therapy.

Abstract
AIMS A recent study examining the specificity of human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) 2 pharmacodiagnostic antibodies demonstrated that CB11 and 4B5 stain both HER2-transfected and HER4-transfected cell lines. However, there has been no evidence showing that 4B5 has affinity for HER4 in clinically obtained tissues, and, if so, whether this has any impact on the assessment of HER2. We therefore sought to determine the expression of membrane-bound HER4 in clinical breast carcinomas, and evaluate its impact on the clinical utility of 4B5 in determining HER2 status. METHODS AND RESULTS Breast carcinomas were assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for membrane-bound HER4 using anti-HER4 clone E200. HER2 expression in these cases was then assessed using anti-HER2 clone 4B5, and a reference clone, SP3. In all 117 membrane HER4-positive cases (out of 241), 4B5 scored equal to or less than the reference anti-HER2 clone SP3. Eighteen cases were positive for membrane-bound HER4 by E200 and negative by 4B5, including a membrane HER4 level 3+ case. CONCLUSIONS No cross-reactivity of 4B5 with membrane-bound HER4 was identified in the clinical IHC analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded breast carcinoma cases as evidenced by the HER4 antibody clone E200.

Int J Cancer 2011; 130:1120-7.

Abstract
HER3 is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family and is expressed in several types of cancer. Both the cytoplasmic and nuclear appearances of the receptor have been reported. Here, we investigate the expression and subcellular distribution of HER3 in uveal melanoma (UM) cells and tissues and its potential impact on clinical outcome of patients. Paraffin-embedded samples from 128 consecutive UM patients, enucleated without alternative treatment on UM diagnosis, were evaluated for HER3 using immunohistochemistry. Immunoreactivity was scored for frequency, intensity of positive cells, and subcellular distribution. The results were correlated with the established clinicopathological parameters using univariate and multivariate statistical analyses. HER3 expression was shown in 70% of the cases (89/128). This contrasts with the other EGFR family receptors (EGFR, HER2 and HER4) that are infrequently expressed in UM. Surprisingly, HER3 was found to be localized solely in the cell nuclei in 56 cases. The remaining 33 HER3 positive cases showed diffuse distribution (cytoplasmic ± nuclear). Nuclear HER3 was independently correlated with a more favorable overall survival (p = 0.043 and hazard ratio = 0.618) compared to cases with diffuse and/or no HER3. Nuclear localization of HER3 was also confirmed in fresh UM material and in UM cell lines. In conclusion, HER3 is frequently localized solely in the cell nuclei in UM and as such it predicts a more favorable overall survival.
