Cover Story: Despite the development of therapeutics targeting hormone receptors, recurrence remains a challenge. In previous studies, we found that EGFR+/ER+ breast cancer had a significantly lower survival rate. Therefore, we hypothesized that identifying an intermediary between EGFR and ER will play an important role in increasing the survival rate. In this study, we identify amphiregulin (AREG) as a key intermediary between EGFR and ER. E2-induced AREG plays an important role in promoting tumorigenicity. In addition, oncogenic effects of E2 were prevented by AREG knockdown. Our findings reveal that abnormal AREG expression is associated with a poor prognosis in EGFR+/ER+ breast cancer patients. Thus, a change in therapeutic strategy is required to increase the efficiency of EGFR+/ER+ breast cancer treatment. View this paper
