ABSTRACT
Although targeted therapy for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer has significantly prolonged survival time and improved patients' quality of life, drug resistance has gradually emerged. This study explored the mechanisms underlying the effect of the motor neuron and pancreatic homeobox 1 (MNX1) genes on drug sensitivity in HER2-positive breast cancer. From July 2017 to 2018, core needle biopsies of HER2-positive breast cancer were collected from patients who received paclitaxel, carboplatin, and trastuzumab neoadjuvant therapy at our center. Based on treatment efficacy, 81 patients were divided into pathological complete response (pCR) and non-pCR groups. High-throughput RNA sequencing results were analyzed along with the GSE181574 dataset. MNX1 was significantly upregulated in the pCR group compared with the non-pCR group in both sequencing datasets, suggesting that MNX1 might be correlated with drug sensitivity in HER2-positive breast cancer. Meanwhile, tissue array results revealed that high MNX1 expression corresponded to a good prognosis. In vitro functional tests showed that upregulation of MNX1 significantly increased the sensitivity of HER2-positive breast cancer cells to lapatinib and pyrotinib. In conclusion, MNX1 may serve as a prognostic marker for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, and its expression may facilitate clinical screening of patients sensitive to anti-HER2-targeted therapy.
