The requirement for HER3 in HER2-amplified tumorigenic growth. (A) HER3 expression was knocked down by shRNA targeting in the indicated HER2-amplified cancer cell lines. Control cells express a scrambled shRNA sequence. (BD) NSG mice were inoculated subcutaneously with these engineered tumor cells and their in vivo growth rates monitored over the indicated time span. The total sample sizes were n = 19 (OE-19), n = 19 (H2170), and n = 20 (N87) and the errors bars indicate the standard error of the mean. (E) Tumors from these mice were harvested at the time of termination of the study and lysates immunoblotted as indicated to confirm the persistent knockdown of HER3 in vivo.
