We identified PTX3 as a potential biomarker and target for the treatment of trastuzumab-induced cardiac complications and demonstrated that lapatinib can prevent cardiac dysfunction caused by trastuzumab by blocking EFGR/STAT3-mediated PTX3 release from VECs, which provided a mechanistic rationale for the combined application of lapatinib and trastuzumab in cancer.
