Involvement of microRNAs-449/FASN axis in response to trastuzumab therapy in HER2-positive breast cancer

The anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody trastuzumab and new derivative formulations are the standard treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer. However, after 1 to 5 years of treatment, some patients acquire resistance to therapy, leading to relapse. The microRNA-449 family members were downregulated in H...

However, after 1 to 5 years of treatment, some patients acquire resistance to therapy, leading to relapse. The microRNA-449 family members were downregulated in HER2-positive breast cancer cell lines and low levels were associated with patients¿ worse prognosis. Moreover, trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive breast cancer cell lines showed lower microRNAs-449 and higher Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN) expression, compared to sensitive cell lines. The direct regulation of FASN by microRNA-449a and microRNA-449b-5p was demonstrated. Moreover, microRNAs-449 overexpression and FASN inhibition decreased cell proliferation and sensitized cells to trastuzumab treatment by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
