EB1089 Increases the Antiproliferative Response of Lapatinib in Combination with Antiestrogens in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Cells.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
HER2-positive breast cancer is associated with aggressive behavior and reduced survival rates. Calcitriol restores the antiproliferative activity of antiestrogens in estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer cells by re-expressing ERα. Furthermore, calcitriol and its analog, EB1089, enhance responses to standard anti-cancer drugs. Therefore, we aimed to investigate EB1089 effects when added to the combined treatment of lapatinib and antiestrogens on the proliferation of HER2-positive breast cancer cells. BT-474 (ER-positive/HER2-positive) and SK-BR-3 (ER-negative/HER2-positive) cells were pre-treated with EB1089 to modulate ER expression. Then, cells were treated with EB1089 in the presence of lapatinib with or without the antiestrogens, and proliferation, phosphorylation array assays, and Western blot analysis were performed. The results showed that EB1089 restored the antiproliferative response to antiestrogens in SK-BR-3 cells and improved the inhibitory effects of the combination of lapatinib with antiestrogens in the two cell lines. Moreover, EB1089, alone or combined, modulated ERα protein expression and reduced Akt phosphorylation in HER2-positive cells. EB1089 significantly enhanced the cell growth inhibitory effect of lapatinib combined with antiestrogens in HER2-positive breast cancer cells by modulating ERα expression and Akt phosphorylation suppression. These results highlight the potential of this therapeutic approach as a promising strategy for managing HER2-positive breast cancer.
