    Fig. 1. Specific binding of the extracellular domain of <t>HER2</t> and the anti-HER2 affibody was detected as Nluc activity. (A) Schematic illustration of the IFNAR1/2 reconstitution system (IFNARRS). Proteins to be examined for their interaction are labeled as X and Y. X and Y were fused to the transmembrane and intracellular domains (TM-IN) of IFNAR1 and IFNAR2, respectively. When X and Y bind to each other, IFNAR1-TM-IN and IFNAR2-TM-IN come near and activate TYK2/JAK1 and STAT1/STAT2/IRF9 to induce Nluc activities via ISREs. NlucP is only activated by the specific binding of X and Y via elimination of IFNα-dependent activation with knock-out of the endogenous IFNAR1 gene. (B) An extracellular domain of HER2 and an anti-HER2 affibody were fused to the transmembrane and intracellular domains of IFNAR1 and IFNAR2, as model binding proteins. (C) Of the four possible combinations, two ([1] + [4] and [3] + [2]) caused significant increases in Nluc activities when transfected into HEK293T cells with the 6xISRE-NlucP plasmid. After 36 h, Nluc luciferase activities were measured (mean ± SD of three independent experiments). (D) Different numbers of ISRE were placed in the promoter of NlucP (SI Appendix, Fig. S1B) and transfected into HEK293T cells in a 96-well plate (Negative: [3] + [4] and Positive: [3] + [2]).

    ( a ) Pattern and frequency of MAPK pathway activating mutations (OncoKb annotated) in 733 ERBB2-amplified breast tumors, stratified based on tumor type. ( b ) Frequency of MAPK alterations from ( a ) in metastatic and primary tumor samples, p < 0.05 by two-sided Fisher exact test. ( c ) Kaplan-Meier curve displaying progression-free survival of patients receiving first-line <t>anti-HER2</t> therapy. Analysis was restricted to patients for whom genomic profiling was performed on a tumor specimen prior to starting first-line therapy, n = 145. Tumors with functional alterations in MAPK signaling members are shown in green, and tumors without MAPK alterations are shown in blue. P < 0.05, two-sided log-rank test. ( d ) The emergence of an NF1- loss of function alteration after exposure to anti-HER2 targeted therapy. This is a case of a 38-year-old female patient with de novo metastatic <t>HER2-positive</t> invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast, who received first-line treatment with docetaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab (THP), followed by maintenance with trastuzumab and pertuzumab (HP). She experienced a partial response (PR) after 6 months of therapy, which was maintained on HP for 31.5 months (959 days) when she experienced an isolated progression on the left axillary lymph nodes. Fused PET/CT scan axial images of PET Scan on HP and at the time of progression have been shown. Samples of the primary breast tumor and samples of progressing axillary lymph nodes, collected before and after exposure to anti-HER2 therapy, have been sequenced. ( e ) An NF1intragenic inversion (c.1527 + 970:NF1_chr17:g.57371683inv) was detected on left axillary lymph node biopsy but not in the pre-treatment tumor. This rearrangement extends 27 megabases, bisecting NF1 and resulting in inversion of exons 14-58 of NF1; this is predicted to result in loss of function due to involvement and complete inversion of the RAS GTPase domain. Abbreviations: IDC: invasive ductal carcinoma; ER: estrogen receptor: PR: progesterone receptor; POD: progression of disease; PR: partial response; PET: positron emission tomography; CT: computed tomography.

    Fig. 2. IFNARRS compared with the NanoBiT system. (A–C) Signaling via the transmembrane and intracellular domains of IFNAR1/2. The same HER2-EX and anti-HER2 affibody in Fig. 1B were used in NanoBiT system (A) and IFNARRS (B). (A) The HER2-EX and anti-HER2 affibody were fused to SmBiT and LgBiT, with or without a short peptide linker (Linker) as depicted in SI Appendix, Fig. S2 (Negative: [6] + [8] or Positive: [6] + [4]). (B) The HER2-EX and anti-HER2 affibody were fused to IFNAR2-TM-IN and IFNAR1-TM-IN depicted in Fig. 1B (Negative: [3] + [4] or Positive: [3] + [2]). (C) HEK293T cells in a 96-well plate were transfected with the indicated combinations using the same backbone of the plasmid for each gene expression, using 0.2μL Lipofectamin 2000 [(A) 15 ng of -SmBiT, 15 ng of -LgBiT, and 10 ng of vector plasmids; (B) 15 ng of -IFNAR2, 15 ng of -IFNAR1, 10 ng of Nx ISRE-NlucP plasmids]. After 36 h, the Nluc assay was performed with the same amount of substrate (mean ± SD of three independent experiments). (D–F) Signaling via the intracellular domains of IFNAR1/2 alone. The same extracellular and transmembrane regions of HER2 (HER2-EX-TM) in SI Appendix, Fig. S5A were used in NanoBiT system (D) and IFNARRS (E). (D) The HER2-EX- TM was fused to SmBiT and LgBiT with or without Linker, as depicted in SI Appendix, Fig. S6. [2] HER2-EX-TM-Linker-SmBiT and [4] HER2-EX-TM-Linker-LgBiT successfully generated the anti-HER2 affibody dimer-dependent signal (Negative: vector or Positive: anti-HER2 Af).

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2. IFNARRS compared with the NanoBiT system. (A–C) Signaling via the transmembrane and intracellular domains of IFNAR1/2. The same HER2-EX and anti-HER2 affibody in Fig. 1B were used in NanoBiT system (A) and IFNARRS (B). (A) The HER2-EX and anti-HER2 affibody were fused to SmBiT and LgBiT, with or without a short peptide linker (Linker) as depicted in SI Appendix, Fig. S2 (Negative: [6] + [8] or Positive: [6] + [4]). (B) The HER2-EX and anti-HER2 affibody were fused to IFNAR2-TM-IN and IFNAR1-TM-IN depicted in Fig. 1B (Negative: [3] + [4] or Positive: [3] + [2]). (C) HEK293T cells in a 96-well plate were transfected with the indicated combinations using the same backbone of the plasmid for each gene expression, using 0.2μL Lipofectamin 2000 [(A) 15 ng of -SmBiT, 15 ng of -LgBiT, and 10 ng of vector plasmids; (B) 15 ng of -IFNAR2, 15 ng of -IFNAR1, 10 ng of Nx ISRE-NlucP plasmids]. After 36 h, the Nluc assay was performed with the same amount of substrate (mean ± SD of three independent experiments). (D–F) Signaling via the intracellular domains of IFNAR1/2 alone. The same extracellular and transmembrane regions of HER2 (HER2-EX-TM) in SI Appendix, Fig. S5A were used in NanoBiT system (D) and IFNARRS (E). (D) The HER2-EX- TM was fused to SmBiT and LgBiT with or without Linker, as depicted in SI Appendix, Fig. S6. [2] HER2-EX-TM-Linker-SmBiT and [4] HER2-EX-TM-Linker-LgBiT successfully generated the anti-HER2 affibody dimer-dependent signal (Negative: vector or Positive: anti-HER2 Af). (E) The HER2-EX-TM was fused to the IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 intracellular domains (IFNAR1-IN and IFNAR2-IN).

(A) To confirm IFNγ-dependent expression of B7-1 in GRkSB-043 and GRkSBZ-188 cells, the GRkS-974, GRkSB-043, and GRkSBZ-188 cells (1 × 105, each) on a 24-well plate were treated with 1ng/mL IFNγ for 24 h. The cell lysate (5 μg protein of each) was dotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane. The B7-1 proteins were visualized with an anti-B7-1 antibody, HRP- conjugated anti-mouse IgG antibody, and ECL reagent. (B). GRkS-974, GRkSB-043, and GRkSBZ-188 cells (1 × 105 each) on a 24-well plate were treated with 1ng/ mL IFNγ for 24 h. The 1 μg of total RNA was subjected to reverse transcription and used in PCR using the specific primers (for anti-CD3ε-scFv-TM). The products were electrophoresed in a 1% agarose gel and stained with ethidium bromide. The arrow indicates the expected PCR product (0.35 kb). (C) and (D) show specific bindings of NlucP-IGHG1 and anti-HER2-affibody-IGHG1 to the surface ZZ-TM on GRkSBZ-188 cells. In C, plasmids designed to secrete NlucP or NlucP-fused IGHG1 proteins were transfected to HEK293T cells, the supernatants were collected, and one aliquot was subjected to binding assay. The same counts (25,000) of NlucP or NlucP-IGHG1 were incubated with GRkS-974, GRkSB-043, and GRkSBZ-188 cells for 12 h. After removing the supernatant, the Nluc activities bound to cells were measured and shown as Bound/Input. Compared to NlucP, NlucP-IGHG1 was bound specifically to GRkSBZ-188 cells. In D, plasmids designed to secrete HER2-EX-NlucP or anti-HER2-affibody-IGHG1 proteins were transfected to HEK293T cells (1 × 105 each), the supernatants were collected, and one aliquot was subjected to binding assay.

    ( a ) Pattern and frequency of MAPK pathway activating mutations (OncoKb annotated) in 733 ERBB2-amplified breast tumors, stratified based on tumor type. ( b ) Frequency of MAPK alterations from ( a ) in metastatic and primary tumor samples, p < 0.05 by two-sided Fisher exact test. ( c ) Kaplan-Meier curve displaying progression-free survival of patients receiving first-line anti-HER2 therapy. Analysis was restricted to patients for whom genomic profiling was performed on a tumor specimen prior to starting first-line therapy, n = 145. Tumors with functional alterations in MAPK signaling members are shown in green, and tumors without MAPK alterations are shown in blue. P < 0.05, two-sided log-rank test. ( d ) The emergence of an NF1- loss of function alteration after exposure to anti-HER2 targeted therapy. This is a case of a 38-year-old female patient with de novo metastatic HER2-positive invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast, who received first-line treatment with docetaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab (THP), followed by maintenance with trastuzumab and pertuzumab (HP). She experienced a partial response (PR) after 6 months of therapy, which was maintained on HP for 31.5 months (959 days) when she experienced an isolated progression on the left axillary lymph nodes. Fused PET/CT scan axial images of PET Scan on HP and at the time of progression have been shown. Samples of the primary breast tumor and samples of progressing axillary lymph nodes, collected before and after exposure to anti-HER2 therapy, have been sequenced. ( e ) An NF1intragenic inversion (c.1527 + 970:NF1_chr17:g.57371683inv) was detected on left axillary lymph node biopsy but not in the pre-treatment tumor. This rearrangement extends 27 megabases, bisecting NF1 and resulting in inversion of exons 14-58 of NF1; this is predicted to result in loss of function due to involvement and complete inversion of the RAS GTPase domain.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of novel splice variant expression on migration. Cell lines were produced from the HER2- cell line MCF-7, to express HER2-WT, HER2-PI9 or HER2-I12. A boyden chamber assay was completed to assess migratory ability. The HER2 − cell line MDA-MB-231 was included as a comparison as an invasive cell line. Serum starved cells were seeded in the upper chamber and 20% foetal bovine serum-containing media was used as a chemoattractant in the lower chamber. At 24 h the cells on the transwell were fixed and stained with Mayer’s Hematoxylin Solution to assist counting. Cells that had migrated completely through the chamber were also counted. Scale bars indicate 200 μM. HER2-WT and HER2-I12 expression enhanced migratory ability of the cells. The invasive line MDA-MB-231 were also able to migrate through the boyden chamber to a greater extent than the MCF-7 cells. Data represents mean ± SE. *** p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05, two-way ANOVA ( n = 3)

    Effect of novel splice variant expression on invasion. Cell lines were produced from the HER2 − cell line MCF-7, to express HER2-WT, HER2-PI9 or HER2-I12. A boyden chamber assay was completed to assess invasive ability. The HER2- cell line MDA-MB-231 was included as a comparison as an invasive cell line. Serum starved cells were seeded in the upper chamber atop of an extracellular matrix and 20% foetal bovine serum-containing media was used as a chemoattractant in the lower chamber. At 24 h the cells on the transwell were fixed and stained with Mayer’s Hematoxylin Solution to assist counting. Cells that had migrated completely through the chamber were also counted.

    3D culturing of HER-WT, HER2-PI9 and HER2-I12 expressing cell lines. Cell lines were produced from the HER2 − cell line MCF-7, to express HER2-WT, HER2-PI9 or HER2-I12 and grown in 3D cultures. An extracellular matrix layer coated a plate to halt adherence. Cells were embedded within a 10% extracellular matrix layer with a feeding layer of complete media to ensure nutrient delivery into the system. A final cell density of 3 × 10 5 was embedded in each well. Pictures shown were taken 24 h after seeding and nine days after seeding. Scale bars indicate 200 μM
