Our aim was to explore the impact of the HER2/neu, HER3 receptor as well as their ligands' neuregulin (NRG1) expression on the outcome of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). NRG1, HER2/neu and HER3 expression was evaluated in 208 patients with mCRC receiving 5-FU/LV plus irinotecan or irinotecan plus oxaliplatin as the first-line treatment. Biomarker expression was correlated with the outcome of patients. NRG1 (low: 192 vs. high: 16), HER2/neu (low: 201 vs. high: 7) and HER3 (low: 69 vs. high: 139) expressions were assessed in 208 patients. High versus low NRG1 expression significantly affected progression-free survival (PFS) [4.7 vs. 8.2 months, hazard ratio (HR): 2.45; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.45-4.13; P=0.001], but not overall survival (OS) (15.5 vs. 20.7 months, HR: 1.33; 95% CI: 0.76-2.35; P=0.32). High versus low HER3 expression (PFS: 7.1 vs. 8.8 months, HR: 1.11; 95% CI: 0.82-1.50; P=0.50; OS: 19.8 vs. 21.1 months, HR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.70-1.30; P=0.75) and high compared with low HER2/neu expression (PFS: 7.7 vs. 8.0 months, HR: 1.07; 95% CI: 0.71-1.60; P=0.75; OS: 16.6 vs. 21.1 months, HR: 1.13; 95% CI: 0.75-1.71; P=0.57) did not influence outcome. High NRG1 expression was associated with inferior PFS in the FIRE-1 trial. We did not detect a prognostic impact of HER2/neu and HER3 overexpression in mCRC. The frequency of overexpression was comparable with other studies.
我们的目的是探讨HER2/neu、HER3受体及其配体神经调节蛋白(NRG1)的表达对转移性结直肠癌(mCRC)患者预后的影响。在208例接受5-氟尿嘧啶/亚叶酸钙联合伊立替康或伊立替康联合奥沙利铂作为一线治疗的mCRC患者中评估了NRG1、HER2/neu和HER3的表达。生物标志物表达与患者预后相关。在208例患者中评估了NRG1(低表达:192例 vs. 高表达:16例)、HER2/neu(低表达:201例 vs. 高表达:7例)和HER3(低表达:69例 vs. 高表达:139例)的表达。NRG1高表达与低表达相比显著影响无进展生存期(PFS)[4.7个月 vs. 8.2个月,风险比(HR):2.45;95%置信区间(CI):1.45 - 4.13;P = 0.001],但对总生存期(OS)无影响(15.5个月 vs. 20.7个月,HR:1.33;95% CI:0.76 - 2.35;P = 0.32)。HER3高表达与低表达相比(PFS:7.1个月 vs. 8.8个月,HR:1.11;95% CI:0.82 - 1.50;P = 0.50;OS:19.8个月 vs. 21.1个月,HR:0.95;95% CI:0.70 - 1.30;P = 0.75)以及HER2/neu高表达与低表达相比(PFS:7.7个月 vs. 8.0个月,HR:1.07;95% CI:0.71 - 1.60;P = 0.75;OS:16.6个月 vs. 21.1个月,HR:1.13;95% CI:0.75 - 1.71;P = 0.57)均不影响预后。在FIRE - 1试验中,NRG1高表达与较差的PFS相关。我们未检测到HER2/neu和HER3过表达对mCRC的预后影响。过表达频率与其他研究相当。
