Objective: To investigate the effect of different temperatures on internalization of epidermal growth factor receptor complexes in human tongue squamous carcinoma cells(Tca-8113).
Methods: Human epidermal growth factor r (hEGF) was labeled with 125I according to Chloramine-T method. The quantity of surface binding and internalization of 125I-hEGF in Tca-8113 cells at 4 degrees C and at 37 degrees C was compared respectively with radiobinding assay.
Results: At 37 degrees C, the amount of EGFR complexes internalization exceeded that of surface binding after 10 min. At 4 degrees C, the level of interlization maintained very low.
Conclusion: The study indicated that the surface binding of 125I-hEGF at 4 degrees C was steadier than that at 37 degrees C. The study on phenomenon of EGFR complexes internalization provide the experimental basis for selecting anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody in clinic.

Background The optimal surgical management of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer with calcifications remains controversial, particularly when pathologic complete response (pCR) is suspected. Purpose To identify factors associated with pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer and assess whether calcifications affect the performance of radiologic complete response (rCR) at MRI for predicting pCR. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included patients with HER2-positive breast cancer who received neoadjuvant docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab and underwent surgery between January 2021 and October 2023.

Background: Previous results from this phase 3 trial showed that progression-free survival among participants with previously untreated (epidermal growth factor receptor)-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was significantly improved with amivantamab-lazertinib as compared with osimertinib. Results of the protocol-specified final overall survival analysis in this trial have not been reported.
Methods: We randomly assigned, in a 2:2:1 ratio, participants with previously untreated -mutated (exon 19 deletion or L858R substitution), locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC to receive amivantamab-lazertinib, osimertinib, or lazertinib.
Purpose: WU-KONG1B (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03974022) is a multinational phase II, dose-randomized study to assess the antitumor efficacy of sunvozertinib in pretreated patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor () exon 20 insertion mutations (exon20ins).
Methods: Eligible patients with advanced-stage exon20ins NSCLC were randomly assigned by 1:1 ratio to receive sunvozertinib 200 mg or 300 mg once daily (200 and 300 mg-rand cohorts).

Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a gastrointestinal emergency in premature neonates. NEC is mediated by toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4) and associated with lung injury. Previously, we showed that prenatal heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF) administration decreases the incidence of intestinal injury in a rat model of NEC.
