    Article Snippet: Antibodies: ER-β, APγ, and β-actin were purchased from Cell Signaling (Danvers, MA) (dilution 1∶1000) and total ER-α, ERK5, and GAPDH were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, Texas) (dilution 1∶250).

    Techniques: Plasmid Preparation, Injection, Staining, Immunohistochemistry

    MCF-7-MEK5 cells were transfected with empty vector or ERK5 shRNA. Decreased expression of ERK5 was confirmed with (A) RT-PCR and (B) western blot analysis. (C) MCF-7-MEK5-(vector) or MCF-7-MEK5-(ERK5-shRNA) cells (5×10 5 ) were injected into the mammary fat pad of Nu/Nu mice in the presence of E2 pellets (0.72 mg, 60 day release) (n = 10/group). Tumor growth was monitored daily after palpable tumor formation. Points represent mean tumor volume ± SEM; **, P<0.01. (D) RT-PCR analysis of ER-α, ER-β, AP2γ, ERK5 expression or GADPH (control) expression. Data shown is representative of analysis of three independent experiments. (E) Western blot analysis of ER-α, ER-β, AP2γ expression with GAPDH measured as control. Blots shown are representative of three independent experiments.

    Assay development for multiplexed biomarker quantification in breast cancer. Different strategies are employed for proteins expressed at different levels (a). To prepare each assay, protein capture during immunoprecipitation is assessed by immunoblots (b). The strategy for ER, PR, and HER2 analysis utilized IP followed by SDS-PAGE to isolate the proteins of interest from the antibody (c). Biological test cases using stimulation and drug treatment in MCF7 cells are used to test the assays (d) prior to clinical implementation

    Multiplexed biomarker quantification in frozen breast tumors. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained slides (a) should be reviewed by a board certified pathologist to verify tumor content and assess other quality metrics (e.g., stromal, immune infiltration, necrosis, inter alia). Then, LC-MRM analysis is performed on each tissue specimen for biomarker quantification, represented here as heat maps (b). Red indicates highest expression and blue the lowest, and gray indicates that the protein was not detected. In both ER and HER2 pilot studies, one positive patient (by immunohistochemistry or fluorescence in situ hybridization performed in the clinic) was not detected as positive by the mass spectrometry assays, indicating the need to include additional metrics to assess tissue quality and content within each biomarker platform
