Scientific Background: ErbB2 (HER2, Neu) is a protein-tyrosine kinase of the TK group and EGFR family. It is a kinase that function as a component of several membrane protein receptor complexes on the cell surface. Specifically, the ErbB2 protein functions in the regulation of the growth and stabilization of peripheral microtubules, as well as in the transcriptional activation of several rRNA genes (mediated by RNA polymerase I) that result in enhanced protein synthesis and subsequent cell growth. It is highly expressed and widely distributed in most tested human tissues except in the brain and spinal cord, where it is more moderately expressed. Protein interaction is induced with phosphorylation of Y1139 (with Grb2, Grb7 & Src), Y1196 (with Crk), and Y1222 (with CGI-27, Grb2 & Shc1). Phosphorylation of Y1112 induces interaction with Cbl, which promotes ErbB2 degradation. Overexpression of unaltered ErbB2 coding sequences in NIH-3T3 cells results in cellular transformation and tumorigenesis. ErbB2 is amplified in about 30% of primary human breast malignancies and overexpression of ErbB2 is associated with the most aggressive tumours that show uncontrolled proliferation, resistance to apoptosis and increased motility. ErbB2 has also been linked with the development of ovarian cancer, gastric and lung adenocarcinomas, and glioblastomas. Insertional mutagenesis studies in mice also support a role for this protein kinase in mouse cancer oncogenesis.
