Trastuzumab showed survival benefit for Her2-positive gastroesophageal cancers (GEC). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) currently determine eligibility for trastuzumab-based therapy. However, these low-throughput assays often produce discordant or equivocal results. We developed a targeted proteomic assay based on selected reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (SRM-MS) and quantified levels (amol/ug) of Her2-SRM protein in cell lines (n=27) and GEC tissues (n=139). We compared Her2-SRM protein expression with IHC/FISH, seeking to determine optimal SRM protein expression cut-offs to identify HER2 gene amplification. After demonstrating assay development, precision, and stability, Her2-SRM protein measurement was observed to be highly concordant with HER2/CEP17 ratio, particularly in a multivariate regression model adjusted for SRM-expression of Met, Egfr, Her3, and HER2-heterogeneity covariates, and their interactions (cell lines r2=0.9842; FFPE r2=0.7643). In GEC tissues, Her2-SRM protein was detected in 71.2% of cases. ROC curves demonstrated Her2-SRM protein levels to have high specificity (100%) at an upper-level cut-off of >750 amol/μg and sensitivity (75%) at lower-level cut-off of <450 amol/ug to identify HER2 FISH amplified tumors. An ‘equivocal-zone’ of 450-750 amol/ug of Her2-SRM protein was analogous to ’IHC2+#x2019;, but represented fewer cases (9-16% of cases versus 36-41%). Compared to IHC, targeted SRM-Her2 proteomics provided more objective and quantitative Her2 expression with excellent HER2/CEP17 FISH correlation and fewer equivocal cases. Along with the multiplex capability for other relevant oncoproteins, these results demonstrated a refined HER2 protein expression assay for clinical application.
