We reported that HER2/neu reduces the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4-HPR) by suppressing nitric oxide production. We show that HER2/neu uses Akt to induce cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and that inhibition of Akt or COX-2 increases 4-HPR-induced apoptosis and nitric oxide production. Apoptosis induced by the 4-HPR and COX-2 inhibitor combination, although unaffected by an anti-HER2/neu antibody, was reversed by the COX-2 product prostaglandin E2, indicating that COX-2 is a major mechanism by which HER2/neu suppresses 4-HPR apoptosis in breast cancer cells. Combining 4-HPR with COX-2 inhibitors may be a novel chemopreventive strategy against HER2/neu-overexpressing breast tumors.
