| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cetuximab is a monoclonal antibody targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and is effective for tumors with overexpression of EGFR. It was originally used for metastatic colorectal cancer, but since the overexpression of EGFR is seen in 80-100% of head and neck cancer (HNC), antitumor effect is also expected in HNC. In this study, we have assessed the antitumor effect of Cetuximab treatment using 9 oral cancer cell lines, with regard to BRAF, KRAS, NRAS, PIK3CA mutation status. We found no mutation in the mutation hot spots of BRAF gene , KRAS gene, NRAS gene. We also evaluated 5 well-known hot spots of PIK3CA gene, E542K and H1047R mutations of PIK3CA gene were observed in Ca9-22 and HSG cells. BALB/c-nu mouse transplanted with PIK3CA mutated HSG cells showed in lower sensitivity for Cetuximab. The results suggest that E542K mutation of PIK3CA could be used as a screening test to evaluate the sensitivity of HNC to Cetuximab.
