A Novel Canine Mammary Cancer Cell Line: Preliminary Identification and Utilization for Drug Screening Studies.

ABSTRACT: Canine malignant mammary tumor is a dangerously fatal neoplastic disease with poor survival in female dogs. The aim of this study was to preliminary characterize a novel canine mammary cancer cell line, B-CMT, from canine primary mammary gland tumor, and to utilize it as a cell model for in vitro screening of possible therapeutic drugs. The successfully established cell line, B-CMT, was cultured over 50 passages. B-CMT has a fast proliferation rate, and a population doubling time (PDT) of 33.6 h. The B-CMT cell line lacked human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2), estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) expression by qRT-PCR. Compared with MDCK cells, CDH1 expression of CMT cell line was significantly decreased or even absent, but GATA3 expression dramatically increased, while TGF-β expression was at a similar level. Interestingly, the B-CMT cell line from canine primary tumor also showed positive hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) results in immunofluorescence (IF), western blot, and qRT-PCR analysis. Ten days post inoculation with EGFP-B-CMT (B-CMT cells stably expressing EGFP), the experimental mice developed palpable soft tissue masses which histologically resembled the canine primary tumor, and was approved to be derived from B-CMT cell line through detection of EGFP by immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis. Moreover, we investigated the cytotoxicity of five drugs to B-CMT cells, and the results showed that rapamycin and imatinib significantly inhibited the proliferation of the cells in vitro within a certain range of concentration. They also induced cell cycle arrest of B-CMT cells at G1 and G2 phase, respectively. In summary, the results of this report showed that B-CMT cell line might serve as a tool for future studies on tumor microenvironment and drug resistance.

Project description:Background and purposeCanine mammary tumors are the most common tumor disease of female dogs, and adjuvant chemotherapy often results in multi-drug resistance. Currently, the mechanisms underlying the development of tumor multi-drug resistance are unclear. The translation of research applications that can be used to effectively overcome tumor resistance is similarly hampered. Therefore, it is urgent to construct multi-drug resistance models of canine mammary tumors that can be used for research, to explore the mechanisms and means of overcoming resistance.Materials and methodsIn this study, the canine triple negative breast cancer cell line CMT-7364 was induced to develop multidrug resistance using doxorubicin by high-dose drug pulse method. The drug resistance and the expression of drug transport pumps of the cells was verified by CCK8 assay, immunoblotting, qPCR and immunofluorescence. Next, we used scratch assay and Transwell invasion assay to compare the migration and invasion abilities of the two cell lines and examined the expression of EMT-related proteins in both using immunoblotting. The differences of transcriptome between parental and drug-resistant cell lines were detected by RNA-seq sequencing. Finally, mouse xenograft models of drug-resistant and parental cell lines were constructed to evaluate the tumorigenic ability.ResultsAfter more than 50 generations of continuous passages stimulated by high-dose drug pulse method, the morphology of drug-resistant cell line CMT-7364/R tended to be mesenchymal-like and heterogeneous under light microscopy compared with the parental cell line CMT-7364/S, and developed resistance to doxorubicin and other commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs. In CMT-7364/R, BCRP was expressed at higher levels at both transcriptional and protein levels, while P-glycoprotein was not significantly different. Secondly, the migration and invasion ability of CMT-7364/R was significantly enhanced, with decreased expression of E-cadherin and increased expression of vimentin and mucin 1-N terminus. Finally, mouse xenograft models were constructed, while there was no significant difference in the volume of masses formed at 21 days.ConclusionIn summary, by using the canine mammary tumor cell line CMT-7364/S as the parental cell line, we successfully constructed a multidrug-resistant CMT-7364/R with high-dose drug pulse methods. Compared to its parental cell line, CMT-7364/R has decreased growth rate, overexpression of BCRP and increased migration and invasion ability due to EMT. The results of this study showed that CMT-7364/R might serve as a model for future studies on tumor drug resistance.

Project description:BACKGROUND:There is an urgent need for better therapeutics in head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) to improve survival and decrease treatment morbidity. Recent advances in high-throughput drug screening techniques and next-generation sequencing have identified new therapeutic targets in other cancer types, but an HNSCC-specific study has not yet been carried out. We have exploited data from two large-scale cell line projects to clearly describe the mutational and copy number status of HNSCC cell lines and identify candidate drugs with elevated efficacy in HNSCC. METHODS:The genetic landscape of 42 HNSCC cell lines including mutational and copy number data from studies by Garnett et al., and Barretina et al., were analyzed. Data from Garnett et al. was interrogated for relationships between HNSCC cells versus the entire cell line pool using one- and two-way analyses of variance (ANOVAs). As only seven HNSCC cell lines were tested with drugs by Barretina et al., a similar analysis was not carried out. RESULTS:Recurrent mutations in human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative patient tumors were confirmed in HNSCC cell lines, however additional, recurrent, cell line-specific mutations were identified. Four drugs, Bosutinib, Docetaxel, BIBW2992, and Gefitinib, were found via multiple-test corrected ANOVA to have lower IC50 values, suggesting higher drug sensitivity, in HNSCC lines versus non-HNSCC lines. Furthermore, the PI3K inhibitor AZD6482 demonstrated significantly higher activity (as measured by the IC50) in HNSCC cell lines harbouring PIK3CA mutations versus those that did not. CONCLUSION:HNSCC-specific reanalysis of large-scale drug screening studies has identified candidate drugs that may be of therapeutic benefit and provided insights into strategies to target PIK3CA mutant tumors. PIK3CA mutations may represent a predictive biomarker for response to PI3K inhibitors. A large-scale study focused on HNSCC cell lines and including HPV-positive lines is necessary and has the potential to accelerate the development of improved therapeutics for patients suffering with head and neck cancer. This strategy can potentially be used as a template for drug discovery in any cancer type.
