Abstract

To explore the relationship between the expression of DJ-1/HER3 and tumor grade in breast cancer, and investigate the effect of HER3 on NRG-1-mediated serum DJ-1 level in vivo. We analyze the expression level of DJ-1 and HER3 in 68 patients with different grades of breast cancer by immunostaining the tissue microarray. Besides, we investigated the serum DJ-1 level by ELISA. We found that the detectable DJ-1 protein expression is decreased, and the HER3 expression is increased in tumor tissue with the progression of breast cancer. There is a significant rise of DJ-1 in serum in vivo with the stimulation of NRG-1. Meanwhile, we found that HER3 knockdown abolishes NRG-1-induced serum DJ-1 increase and HER3 overexpress improves NRG-1-induced serum DJ-1 increase. This study provides a serum biomarker for breast cancer. The results showed that DJ-1 was associated with clinical stage of breast cancer, and NRG-1 increased the dissociation of HER3 and DJ-1, with promoting the level of DJ-1 in peripheral blood. It is suggested that the level of DJ-1 in peripheral blood may be conducive to assess the prognosis of patients with breast cancer and serum DJ-1 levels can serve as an indicator of therapeutic effectiveness for the development of HER3 targeting breast cancer antibody therapies.
