- W2233685125 abstract "Proc Amer Assoc Cancer Res, Volume 47, 20063758 Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/HER1 is expressed at high levels in ∼20% of breast cancers and correlates with poor disease prognosis. One mechanism that contributes to the generation and maintenance of cancerous cells is the disruption of the cellular cytoskeleton. Microtubule associated proteins (MAPs) are major components of cytoskeleton proteins associated with microtubule assembly and its stabilization. MAP-2, a component of the MAP family, is a marker for neurons and its immunoreactivity has been demonstrated in several neoplasms. We hypothesized that MAP-2 expression is deregulated in EGFR overexpressing breast cancers thus rendering them resistant to conventional therapy. Here we show that loss of MAP-2 expression in breast cancer cells during sustained activation of the EGFR results in resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. We first evaluated the expression of MAP-2 in a range of breast cancer cells and found that all cell lines expressed varying degrees of MAP-2. However when compared on the basis of their EGFR status, we observed higher expression of MAP-2 in EGFR overexpressing cells than in non-EGFR overexpressing cells both at protein and mRNA levels. To investigate whether the expression of MAP-2 is regulated by the expression of EGFR we selected two cell lines based on their responsiveness to EGF. MCF-7 and MCF-10A cells were challenged with increasing doses of EGF (25-150 ng/ml) and examined for the expression of phosphorylated EGFR. We observed that MCF-7 cells were weakly and MCF-10A cells were strongly stimulated when challenged by increasing doses of EGF. We next examined the expression of MAP-2 in cell lines challenged with EGF and observed that although MAP-2 expression increased with increasing doses of EGF, its expression was almost completely lost at concentrations >100 ng/ml of EGF treatment. This observation suggested a possible mechanism of resistance in breast cancer patients with EGFR overexpression. Based on these observations we conclude that with constant EGF stimulation, cells lose their MAP-2 expression that is required for microtubule stabilization and subsequent cell cycle arrest. In next series of experiments we sought to understand how MAP-2 expression would change in EGFR expressing cells that are challenged with EGF and then treated with microtubule disrupting agents. We found increasing resistance to growth inhibition by docetaxel in cells that were challenged with higher concentrations of EGFR (>50 ng/ml). This suggested that over expression of EGFR signaling in breast cancers could, in fact, be responsible for resistance to therapeutic agents. The loss of MAP-2 expression could have implications in treatment of breast cancers overexpressing the EGFR and exhibiting resistance to conventional therapy." @default.
