Abstract：
:Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression by human breast cancer has been shown to predict poor patient outcome, as has amplification of the c-erbB-2 proto-oncogene. We have developed a quantitative immunohistochemical method for measuring protein levels of both receptors and have applied this to a series of 123 breast primaries. We find EGFR expression is substantially lower than normal in nearly all breast cancers (97%). Quantification of p185erbB-2 indicates overexpression in 91% of the tumors. Two separate tumor populations are apparent with levels of c-erbB-2 expression ranging from 0.33 to 19 and 45 to 480 times normal, respectively. Within the lower population, p185erbB-2 expression is inversely related to EGFR expression (rank correlation, P < 0.0005). Using fluorescent in situ hybridization we show that tumors in the latter population have c-erbB-2 amplification and that amplification is restricted to this group. Our findings indicate that significant overexpression of p185erbB-2 occurs in the absence of amplification; these lower levels of expression may have functional significance. Fifty-three patients underwent in vivo bromodeoxyuridine labeling, allowing flow cytometric analysis of tumor cell cycle kinetics. EGFR expression correlates directly to the labeling index (P = 0.011) and indirectly to potential doubling time (P = 0.010), but not to the duration of the S-phase (P = 0.502). Conversely, p185erbB-2 expression does not relate to indices of proliferation. Our results have important implications for the use of both receptor types as therapeutic targets.
