Sacrificial Bioprinting of a Mammary Ductal Carcinoma Model.

ABSTRACT: Cancer tissue engineering has remained challenging due to the limitations of the conventional biofabrication techniques to model the complex tumor microenvironment. Here, the utilization of a sacrificial bioprinting strategy is reported to generate the biomimetic mammary duct-like structure within a hydrogel matrix, which is further populated with breast cancer cells, to model the genesis of ductal carcinoma and its subsequent outward invasion. This bioprinted mammary ductal carcinoma model provides a proof-of-concept demonstration of the value of using the sacrificial bioprinting technique for engineering biologically relevant cancer models, which may be possibly extended to other cancer types where duct-like structures are involved.

Transcriptomic Profile of Canine Mammary Ductal Carcinoma.

Project description:Dogs can be excellent models for spontaneous studies about breast cancers, presenting similarities in clinical behavior and molecular pathways of the disease. Thus, analyses of the canine transcriptome can identify deregulated genes and pathways, contributing to the identification of biomarkers and new therapeutic targets, benefiting humans and animals. In this context, this study aimed to determine the transcriptional profile of canine mammary ductal carcinoma and contribute to the clarification of the importance of deregulated molecules in the molecular pathways involved in the disease. Therefore, we used mammary ductal carcinoma tissue samples and non-tumor mammary tissue from the radical mastectomy of six female dogs. Sequencing was performed on the NextSeq-500 System platform. A comparison of carcinoma tissue and normal tissue revealed 633 downregulated and 573 upregulated genes, which were able to differentiate the groups by principal component analysis. Gene ontology analysis indicated that inflammatory, cell differentiation and adhesion, and extracellular matrix maintenance pathways were mainly deregulated in this series. The main differentially expressed genes observed in this research can indicate greater disease aggressiveness and worse prognosis. Finally, the study of the canine transcriptome indicates that it is an excellent model to generate information relevant to oncology in both species.

A candidate metastasis-associated DNA marker for ductal mammary carcinoma.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Molecular genetic markers to identify the 13% lymph node-negative mammary carcinomas that are prone to develop metastases would clearly be of considerable value in indicating those cases in need of early aggressive therapy. METHODS:Representational difference analysis was used in an attempt to identify genetic alterations related to breast cancer metastasis by comparing genomic DNA from microdissected normal cells and from metastatic cells of ductal breast carcinoma patients. RESULTS:Representational difference analysis products yielded 10 unique metastasis-associated DNA sequences (MADS), i.e. products apparently lost in metastatic cell DNA. Of these sequences, MADS-IX was found to be lost in the transition from primary to metastasis in two out of five ductal breast carcinoma cases. This sequence was localized on chromosome 10q21 by radiation hybrid mapping and fluorescence in situ hybridization. The PTEN gene, which is also located on chromosome 10q, was detected to be present by PCR in all five cases. On the contrary, a breast carcinoma cell line, HCC-1937, which has homozygous loss of a region encompassing the PTEN gene, showed the presence of MADS-IX. PCR screening of three additional breast carcinoma cell lines with known losses in specific chromosomal regions also showed the presence of MADS-IX. CONCLUSION:These data suggest that MADS-IX possibly is part of a novel candidate metastasis-associated gene located close to the PTEN gene on chromosome 10q. The first set of PCR screening in five patient samples indicates that it could be used as a molecular marker for ductal mammary metastasis.

Transcriptomic profile of canine mammary ductal carcinoma

Project description:Mammary neoplasms are the most frequent in non-neutered bitches. Here we used next generation sequencing (NGS), to determine the transcriptional profile of samples of canine mammary ductal carcinomas and to contribute to the clarification of the importance of deregulated molecules in the molecular pathways involved in the disease. For this, samples of tumor tissue from mammary ductal carcinoma (without metastases) and non-tumor breast tissue from radical mastectomy of six bitches of different breeds and ages were used.

Fibroblast hepatocyte growth factor promotes invasion of human mammary ductal carcinoma in situ.

Project description:Stromal-derived hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) acting through its specific proto-oncogene receptor c-Met has been suggested to play a paracrine role in the regulation of tumor cell migration and invasion. The transition from preinvasive ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to invasive breast carcinoma is marked by infiltration of stromal fibroblasts and the loss of basement membrane. We hypothesized that HGF produced by the infiltrating fibroblasts may alter proteolytic pathways in DCIS cells, and, to study this hypothesis, established three-dimensional reconstituted basement membrane overlay cocultures with two human DCIS cell lines, MCF10.DCIS and SUM102. Both cell lines formed large dysplastic structures in three-dimensional cultures that resembled DCIS in vivo and occasionally developed invasive outgrowths. In coculture with HGF-secreting mammary fibroblasts, the percentage of DCIS structures with invasive outgrowths was increased. Activation of c-Met with conditioned medium from HGF-secreting fibroblasts or with recombinant HGF increased the percentage of DCIS structures with invasive outgrowths, their degradation of collagen IV, and their secretion of urokinase-type plasminogen activator and its receptor. In agreement with the in vitro findings, coinjection with HGF-secreting fibroblasts increased invasiveness of MCF10.DCIS xenografts in severe combined immunodeficient mice. Our study shows that paracrine HGF/c-Met signaling between fibroblasts and preinvasive DCIS cells enhances the transition to invasive carcinomas and suggests that three-dimensional cocultures are appropriate models for testing therapeutics that target tumor microenvironment-enhanced invasiveness.

Analysis of TP53 gene and particular infrastructural alterations in invasive ductal mammary carcinoma.

Project description:This study was conducted in order to determine the mutational status of TP53 gene and to determine some particular aspects from ultrastructural level in invasive mammary ductal carcinoma. The cellular signaling pathway involving the TP53 gene acts in biological deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair processes and cell cycle arrest following a signal transmitted to the p53 protein when posttranslational changes occur in the cell due to stress induced in the cell by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Cellular stress activates the transcription factor function of the protein that initiates, as the case may be, either DNA repair or programmed cell death (apoptosis). The TP53 gene is commonly mutated in many human cancers and also has a highly polymorphic grade. To determine the mutational status of the exons 4-9 of the TP53 gene, we used extracted DNA from fresh breast tissue, and we analyzed it through direct sequencing. In mammary carcinoma, the mutation frequency of TP53 is running between 20-40% and, in regards the polymorphism, at least 14 different forms were identified, that are associated with cancer risk. The mutation type distribution showed a predominance of deletions and a reduced frequency of substitutions comparing with International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) database. Taken in consideration the importance of the tumor associated stroma in tumor development, we have also investigated some particular aspects at the infrastructural level of invasive mammary ductal carcinoma, notably concerning telocytes as tumor stroma interstitial cells by transmission electron microscopy analysis.

Tetraspanin CD151 regulates growth of mammary epithelial cells in three-dimensional extracellular matrix: implication for mammary ductal carcinoma in situ.

Project description:Tetraspanin CD151 is associated with laminin-binding integrins (i.e., alpha(3)beta(1), alpha(6)beta(1), and alpha(6)beta(4)) and regulates tumor cell migration and invasion. Here, we examined the role of CD151 in proliferation of mammary epithelial cells using in vitro and in vivo models. Depletion of CD151 suppressed growth of HB2 cells, a nontumorigenic breast epithelial cell line, in three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrices (ECM) and in Matrigel-based xenografts. Whereas the presence of alpha(3)beta(1) (but not alpha(6) integrins) was necessary to support growth of HB2 cells in 3D ECM, the pro-proliferative activity of CD151 did not require direct interaction with integrins. Furthermore, depletion of CD151 potentiated formation of the internal lumen and partial restoration of polarity when HB2 cells were cultured in 3D ECM. This correlated with a decrease in phosphorylation levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and cAkt in CD151-negative cells and increase in activation of caspase-3. Accordingly, the number of CD151-positive colonies with internal lumen was increased by approximately 5-fold when cells were cultured in the presence of MAP/ERK kinase (U0126) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (LY29004) inhibitors. To establish the physiologic relevance of pro-proliferative and morphogenetic activities of CD151, we analyzed the expression of this tetraspanin in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), which is characterized by neoplastic proliferation of mammary epithelial cells. Strong homogeneous membrane expression of CD151 was found to be associated with a high grade of DCIS (P = 0.004). Taken together, these results strongly suggest that CD151 complexes play a crucial role in the development of hyperproliferative diseases in the mammary gland.

Induction of mammary gland ductal hyperplasias and carcinoma in situ following fetal bisphenol A exposure.

Project description:Exposure of the fetus to excess estrogen is believed to increase the risk of developing breast cancer during adult life. Fetal exposure to low doses of the xenoestrogen bisphenol A resulted in long-lasting effects in the mouse mammary gland that were manifested during adult life. It enhanced sensitivity to estradiol, decreased apoptosis, increased the number of progesterone receptor-positive epithelial cells at puberty and increased lateral branching at 4 months of age. We now report that fetal exposure to 2.5, 25, 250 and 1000 microg bisphenol A/kg body weight/day induces the development of ductal hyperplasias and carcinoma in situ at postnatal day 50 and 95 in rats. These highly proliferative lesions have an increased number of estrogen receptor-alpha positive cells. Thus, fetal bisphenol A exposure is sufficient to induce the development of preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions in the mammary gland in the absence of any additional treatment aimed at increasing tumor development.

Postpartum mammary gland involution drives progression of ductal carcinoma in situ through collagen and COX-2.

Project description:The prognosis of breast cancer in young women is influenced by reproductive history. Women diagnosed within 5 years postpartum have worse prognosis than nulliparous women or women diagnosed during pregnancy. Here we describe a mouse model of postpartum breast cancer that identifies mammary gland involution as a driving force of tumor progression. In this model, human breast cancer cells exposed to the involuting mammary microenvironment form large tumors that are characterized by abundant fibrillar collagen, high cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and an invasive phenotype. In culture, tumor cells are invasive in a fibrillar collagen and COX-2-dependent manner. In the involuting mammary gland, inhibition of COX-2 reduces the collagen fibrillogenesis associated with involution, as well as tumor growth and tumor cell infiltration to the lung. These data support further research to determine whether women at high risk for postpartum breast cancer would benefit from treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during postpartum involution.

IL-6 triggers malignant features in mammospheres from human ductal breast carcinoma and normal mammary gland.

Project description:High serum levels of IL-6 correlate with poor outcome in breast cancer patients. However, no data are available on the relationship between IL-6 and mammary stem/progenitor cells, which may fuel the genesis of breast cancer in vivo. Herein, we address this issue in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line and in primary human mammospheres (MS), multicellular structures enriched in stem/progenitor cells of the mammary gland. MS from node invasive breast carcinoma tissues expressed IL-6 mRNA at higher levels than did MS from matched non-neoplastic mammary glands. In addition, IL-6 mRNA was detected only in basal-like breast carcinoma tissues, an aggressive breast carcinoma variant showing stem cell features. IL-6 treatment triggered Notch-3-dependent upregulation of the Notch ligand Jagged-1 and promotion of MS and MCF-7-derived spheroid growth. Moreover, IL-6 induced Notch-3-dependent upregulation of the carbonic anhydrase IX gene and promoted a hypoxia-resistant/invasive phenotype in MCF-7 cells and MS. Finally, autocrine IL-6 signaling relied upon Notch-3 activity to sustain the aggressive features of MCF-7-derived hypoxia-selected cells. In conclusion, these data support the hypothesis that IL-6 induces malignant features in Notch-3-expressing stem/progenitor cells from human ductal breast carcinoma and normal mammary gland.
