Our increasing understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of breast carcinogenesis has generated detailed information about the potential roles of specific biomolecular markers in this process. Furthermore, in the last few years the process of targeted drug design has become faster and more sophisticated, providing a variety of agents targeted at these molecules. In this review, we describe the most widely recognized molecular targets in breast cancer.

Pituitary tumors are common monoclonal neoplasms which cause considerable morbidity and mortality. Several molecular events underlying pituitary tumorigenesis have been elucidated in recent years, but no tumor marker has clearly emerged which assists clinical and therapeutic decisions. Activating mutations and loss of inactivating mutations, together with hypothalamic hormones, circulating hormones, growth factors and cytokines cooperatively ensure the inexorable expansion of the initial mutated pituitary cell clone. This review describes new developments in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of pituitary tumors. The availability of molecular probes will allow the early prediction of tumor behavior, identify targets for designing subcellular pituitary tumor therapy and provide novel approaches to pituitary tumor management.

Ganglioneuromas (GNs) are neural crest cell-derived tumors and rarely occur in the adrenal gland. There are presently no markers that can reliably distinguish benign and malignant neuroendocrine tumors. Here we describe a 63-year-old woman who developed sudden chest pain and hypertension combined with increased stool frequency. An incidental adrenal mass 5 cm in size with a bright signal on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging was discovered. Biochemical evaluation and (131)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy were negative. Histopathological examination revealed a mature adrenal GN. Neuroblastoma, the immature form of a GN, is known for deletions on chromosomal locus 1p36, and adrenal tumors frequently show allele loss on 17p. To further elucidate the histo- and pathogenesis of adrenal GN, we performed loss of heterozygosity studies on chromosomal loci 1p34-36 and 17p13 (the p53 gene locus) after careful microdissection of tumor and normal tissue. We did not detect allelic losses at these loci with the informative polymorphic markers used, suggesting that these loci are not involved in tumorigenesis. In addition, immunohistochemical investigation of the GN was positive for vasoactive intestinal peptide, a hormone commonly expressed in ganglion cells. We suggest that in our patient with an adrenal GN, the combination of biochemical, scintigraphic, molecular, immunohistochemical, and histopathological findings are all consistent with the benign morphology of this tumor.

Estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancers generally have a better prognosis and are often responsive to anti-estrogen therapy, which is the first example of a successful therapy targeted on a specific protein, the ER. Unfortunately ER-negative breast cancers are more aggressive and unresponsive to anti-estrogens. Other targeted therapies are thus urgently needed, based on breast cancer oncogene inhibition or suppressor gene activation as far as molecular studies have demonstrated the alteration of expression, or structure of these genes in human breast cancer. Using the MDA-MB.231 human breast cancer cell line as a model of ER-negative breast cancers, we are investigating two of these approaches in our laboratory. Our first approach was to transfect the ER or various ER-deleted variants into an ER-negative cell line in an attempt to recover anti-estrogen responsiveness. The unliganded receptor, and surprisingly estradiol, were both found to inhibit tumor growth and invasiveness in vitro and in vivo. The mechanisms of these inhibitions in ER-negative cancer cells are being studied, in an attempt to target the ER sequence responsible for such inhibition in these cancer cells. Another strategy is trying to inhibit the activity or expression of an oncogene specifically overexpressed in most breast cancers. This approach was recently shown by others to be efficient in breast cancer therapy with HER2-Neu oncogene amplification using Herceptin. Without excluding other molecular putative targets, we have focused our research on cathepsin D as a potential target, since it is often overexpressed in aggressive human breast cancers, including ER-negative tumors, and rarely associated with HER2-Neu amplification. Our first results obtained in vitro on cell lines and in vivo in tumor xenografts in nude mice, illustrate that the mode of action of cathepsin D in breast cancer is useful to guide the development of these therapies. In the past 20 years we have learned that the action of cathepsin D is complex and involves both intracellular and extracellular activities due to its proteolytic activity and to interactions with membrane components without catalytic activity. Each of these mechanisms could be potentially inhibited in an attempt to prevent tumor growth. Breast cancer is a very heterogeneous and multigenic disease and different targeted therapies adapted to each category of breast cancer are therefore required. Validated assays in the primary tumor of molecular markers such as ER, HER2-Neu and cathepsin D should help to predict which targeted therapy should be applied to cure breast cancer patients.
