Epidermal growth factor (EGF) family of growth
factors and their receptors regulate normal and cancerous epithelial
cell proliferation, a process that can be suppressed by
antireceptor blocking antibodies. To identify genes whose
expression may be modulated by antireceptor blocking antibodies, we
performed a differential display screen with cells grown in the
presence or absence of antireceptor blocking antibodies; isolates from
one cDNA clone were 100% identical to human heterogeneous nuclear
ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K), a protein with a conserved KH motif and
RGG boxes, has been implicated in such functions as sequence-specific
DNA binding, transcription, RNA binding, and nucleocytoplasmic
shuttling. Both EGF and heregulin- 1 induced expression of
hnRNP K mRNA and protein in human breast cancer cells. This growth
factor-mediated hnRNP K expression was effectively blocked by
pretreatment of cultures with humanized anti-EGF receptor (EGFR)
antibody C225, or anti-human epidermal growth
factor receptor-2 (HER2) antibody. Anti-EGFR
monoclonal antibody also caused regression of human tumor xenografts
and reduction in hnRNP K levels in athymic mice. Samples from grade III
human breast cancer contained more hnRNP K protein than samples from
grade II cancer. Finally, overexpression of hnRNP K in breast cancer
cells significantly increased target c-myc promoter
activity and c-Myc protein, hnRNP K protein levels, and enhanced breast cancer cell proliferation and growth in an anchorage-independent manner. These results suggested that the activity of human EGF receptor
family members regulates hnRNP K expression by extracellular growth
promoting signals and that therapeutic humanized antibodies against
EGFR and HER2 can effectively block this function.
