Description
In a panel of 31 breast cancer cell lines with varied mutation backgrounds, 10 cell lines harbored HER2 (ERBB2) amplification. Sensitivity to the mTORC1/2 inhibitor PP242 was assessed, and 8/10 HER2 positive cell lines were reported to be sensitive (IC50 < 1 micro molar PP242). 8/21 without HER2 amplification were reported as resistant (IC50 > 1 micro molar PP242). This pattern of HER2 positive cell sensitivity was not reported with the rapamycin analog mTORC1 inhibitor everolimus.
