Targeted inhibition of human breast cancer cell lines selected as model systems of ERBB2-positive/EGFR high breast cancer [RPPA-HCC1954]. Homo sapiens

EGFR-inhibition is required for targeted therapies of ERBB2-positive/EGFR high breast cancer. Approximately 30% of human ERBB2-positive breast tumors also express EGFR. Overall design: Three targeted therapeutics (erlotinib, pertuzumab, trastuzumab) and two ligands (EGF, HRG) were analyzed in all possible combinations. Each experiment involving inhibition with targeted drugs was performed in three, and measurements without inhibitors were performed in five biological replicates. This resulted in 780 samples. Incubation with therapeutics only and dilution series of control lysated were included as controls.
