Project description:TGFβ ligands act as tumor suppressors in early stage tumors but are paradoxically diverted into potent prometastatic factors in advanced cancers. The molecular nature of this switch remains enigmatic. We now show that TGFβ-dependent cell migration, invasion and metastasis are empowered by mutant-p53. To investigate the specific gene expression program by which mutant-p53 and TGFβ control invasion and metastasis in breast cancer cells, we compared the TGFβ transcriptomic profile of control and mutant-p53 depleted MDA-MB-231 cells. Experiment Overall Design: MDA-MB-231 cells, stably expressing either control (shGFP) or anti-p53 (shp53) short-hairpin RNAs, were left untreated or treated with TGFbeta. Samples were then processed for total RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Four biological replicas (A, B, C, D) were used for each of the 4 conditions (1: untreated control; 2: TGFbeta treated control; 3: untreated p53-depleted cells; 4: TGFbeta treated mutant-p53-depleted cells), for a total of 16 samples.

Project description:α-Series gangliosides define a particular sub-class of glycosphingolipids containing sialic acid α2,6-linked to GalNAc residue that was isolated as a minor compound from the brain. The sialyltransferase ST6GalNAc V was cloned from mouse brain and showed α2,6-sialyltransferase activity almost exclusively for GM1b, to form GD1α and is considered as the main enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of α-series gangliosides. Recently, ST6GALNAC5 was identified as one of the genes over-expressed in breast cancer cell populations selected for their ability to produce brain metastasis. However, the capacity of human breast cancer cells to produce α-series gangliosides has never been clearly demonstrated. Here, we show by stable transfection and MS-MS analysis of total glycosphingolipids that ST6GALNAC5 expressing MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells accumulate GD1α ganglioside (IV3Neu5Ac1, III6Neu5Ac1Gg4-Cer).

Project description:MDA-MB-231 cell line with relatively high DOT1L levels was treated with two potent, selective inhibitors of the DOT1L histone methyl transferase. These compounds can inhibit cells migration and invasion and induce differentiation. Here we provide expression profiling data of cells treated with two DOT1L inhibitors [1] [2], DOT1L siRNA (siDOT1L) or control. MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with 1uM compound [1], 5uM compound [1], 2uM compound [2], 10 uM compound [2] (DOT1L inhibitors) or control (0.1% DMSO) for 14 days, or siDOT1L for 7 days. For each unique condition, 2 biological replicates were generated for expression profiling. Compound [1]: EPZ004777 (in Diagle et al., 2011) Compound [2]: Compound 55 (in Anglin et al., 2012)

Project description:The progesterone receptor isoforms PRA and PRB are implicated in breast cancer development and metastasis. Expression ratio PRA/PRB is imbalanced in such cancers under the influence of MAPK-dependent extracellular stimuli that strongly impact progesterone-responsive transcriptional regulation. In order to determine the isoform-specific regulated genes in a metastatic cancer cell, we established the iPRAB cell line derived from MDA-MB-231 mammary cancer cells (ER-, PR-). This cell line conditionally expressed PRA and/or PRB under the control of RSL1 and doxycycline (Dox) non-steroid ligands, respectively, in a dose-dependent manner. The bi-inducible expression system was generated using a combination of the Rheoswitch (NE Biolabs) and T-Rex (Invitrogen) vector systems as described in the article. We investigated the transcriptomes obtained in cells treated by either RSL1 (for PRA), or Dox (for PRB), or RSL1 + Dox (for PRA + PRB) for 24 h and then by either 10 nM progesterone (+) or vehicle (-) for 6 h. Control experiments were obtained from cells grown in the absence of RSL1, doxycycline and in the presence of progesterone (O+) or vehicle (O-). Experimental conditions of PRA/PRB expression ratio were ranged from 0.1 to 10, and the maximum expression of a given isoform was set to 300 fmol per mg proteins following 24 h induction. After removing redundant probes and pseudogens, the processed data identified 1014 distinct regulated genes subdivised in 3 classes : genes responding either only to unliganded PR isoforms (-), or only to liganded (+) or to both conditions (mixed ±). Each classe was subdivided according to isoform specificity criteria (A, B, AB, A&B, A&AB, B&AB, A&B&AB) leading to define 3X7 clusters of genes per classe. Each subset was then further analyzed by complete hierarchical clustering through up or down-regulation criteria. These data indicated that PR target genes selectivity is highly dependent of PRA/PRB expression ratio as well as ligand status and highlight the major impact of PR on transcriptional regulation of genes involved in breast cancer and metastasis.

Project description:Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is overexpressed in many cancer types. This secretory protein can induce hypercalcaemia of malignancy by mimicking the action of calcium-regulating parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTHrP may also be involved in the regulation of migration, invasion, proliferation and apoptosis. It can either stimulate signal cascades, such as the cAMP pathway, or act on not yet defined targets in the nucleus. In this study, we analyzed the effect of PTHrP-specific siRNA on gene expression in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. MDA-MB-231 cells were either transfected with the PTHrP-specific siRNA (siPTHrP) or a control siRNA (siLuc). Differences in gene expression pattern in siPTHrP- vs. siLuc-treated cells were measured by microarray analysis. More than 200 differentially expressed genes were found. Some of these genes have important functions in carcinogenesis. Experiment Overall Design: Three independent transfection experiments were performed. Cells were transfected with siPTHrP or siLuc by electroporation, grown for three days and harvested for isolation of total RNA. RNAs were subjected to microarray analysis. The RNAs of experiment 1 are designated as siLuc 1 and siPTHrP 1, those of experiment 2 as siLuc 2 and siPTHrP 2 etc.. To identify siPTHrP-responsive genes, the siPTHrP- and siLuc-RNAs of the same experiment were compared.

Project description:Since bone metastatic breast cancer is an incurable disease, causing significant morbidity and mortality, understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms would be highly valuable. Here, we describe in vitro and in vivo evidence for the importance of serine biosynthesis in the metastasis of breast cancer to bone. We first characterized the bone metastatic propensity of the MDA-MB-231(SA) cell line variant as compared to the parental MDA-MB-231 cells by radiographic and histological observations in the inoculated mice. Genome-wide gene expression profiling of this isogenic cell line pair revealed that all the three genes involved in the L-serine biosynthesis pathway, phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1), and phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) were upregulated in the highly metastatic variant. This pathway is the primary endogenous source for L-serine in mammalian tissues. Consistently, we observed that the proliferation of MDA-MB-231(SA) cells in serine-free conditions was dependent on PSAT1 expression. In addition, we observed that L-serine is essential for the formation of bone resorbing human osteoclasts and may thus contribute to the vicious cycle of osteolytic bone metastasis. High expression of PHGDH and PSAT1 in primary breast cancer was significantly associated with decreased relapse-free and overall survival of patients and malignant phenotypic features of breast cancer. In conclusion, high expression of serine biosynthesis genes in metastatic breast cancer cells and the stimulating effect of L-serine on osteoclastogenesis and cancer cell proliferation indicate a functionally critical role for serine biosynthesis in bone metastatic breast cancer and thereby an opportunity for targeted therapeutic interventions. Parental MDA-MB-231 cells and MDA-MB-231(SA) cells were cultured in cell culture flasks. RNA was isolated in order to compare the gene expression profiles of these cell variants. Total of two samples. No replicates.

Project description:In the past decades, altered Follistatin‑like 1 (FSTL1) expression has been documented in a variety of cancers, while its functional roles are poorly understood. Particularly in breast cancer, the expression of FSTL1 and its signaling pathway remain to be determined. In the present study, an elevated FSTL1 expression and a supressed cell proliferation were detected in a specific brain metastatic cell line MDA‑MB‑231‑BR (231‑BR), compared with its parental cell line MDA‑MB‑231. However, this protein was hardly detected in the other three breast cancer cell lines. Next, lentiviral vectors encoding FSTL1 or FSTL1 specific shRNAs were used to overexpress or knock down FSTL1 in MDA‑MB‑231 or 231‑BR, respectively (MDA‑MB‑231FSTL1 or 231‑BRsh FSTL1). Results showed that overexpression of FSTL1 inhibited MDA‑MB‑231 cell proliferation, while knockdown of FSTL1 in 231‑BR cells promotes cell proliferation, compared with their corresponding control groups. These results were further confirmed in nude mouse xenografts. The tumor volume in 231‑BR cell-bearing mice was significantly smaller than that of MDA‑MB‑231 group, and reduction of tumor volume was detected in MDA‑MB‑231FSTL1 cell-bearing mice compared with the control group. Previous studies revealed that TGF‑β-Smad2/3 signaling pathway was activated in 231‑BR and MDA‑MB‑231FSTL1 cells, which may contribute to the inhibited cell proliferation. In addition, Smad3 knockdown could restore the inhibition of cell proliferation induced by FSTL1 overexpression in MDA‑MB‑231FSTL1 cells, indicating that the anti‑proliferative effect of FSTL1 overexpression may be associated with Smad3 involved TGF‑β signaling pathway regulation. This study identified FSTL1 as an inhibitor of cell proliferation in MDA‑MB‑231 and 231‑BR cell lines, which may provide new insights into the development and management of breast cancer.

Project description:Breast cancer remains a leading cause of death in women worldwide. Although breast cancer therapies have greatly advanced in recent years, many patients still develop tumour recurrence and metastasis, and eventually succumb to the disease due to chemoresistance. Citral has been reported to show cytotoxic effect on various cancer cell lines. However, the potential of citral to specifically target the drug resistant breast cancer cells has not yet been tested, which was the focus of our current study.The cytotoxic activity of citral was first tested on MDA-MB-231 cells in vitro by MTT assay. Subsequently, spheroids of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were developed and treated with citral at different concentrations. Doxorubicin, cisplatin and tamoxifen were used as positive controls to evaluate the drug resistance phenotype of MDA-MB-231 spheroids. In addition, apoptosis study was performed using AnnexinV/7AAD flowcytometry. Aldefluor assay was also carried out to examine whether citral could inhibit the ALDH-positive population, while the potential mechanism of the effect of citral was carried out by using quantitative real time- PCR followed by western blotting analysis.Citral was able to inhibit the growth of the MDA-MB-231 spheroids when compared to a monolayer culture of MDA-MB-231 cells at a lower IC50 value. To confirm the inhibition of spheroid self-renewal capacity, the primary spheroids were then cultured to additional passages in the absence of citral. A significant reduction in the number of secondary spheroids were formed, suggesting the reduction of self-renewal capacity of these aldehyde dehydrogenase positive (ALDH+) drug resistant spheroids. Moreover, the AnnexinV/7AAD results demonstrated that citral induced both early and late apoptotic changes in a dose-dependent manner compared to the vehicle control. Furthermore, citral treated spheroids showed lower cell renewal capacity compared to the vehicle control spheroids in the mammosphere formation assay. Gene expression studies using quantitative real time PCR and Western blotting assays showed that citral was able to suppress the self-renewal capacity of spheroids and downregulate the Wnt/?-catenin pathway.The results suggest that citral could be a potential new agent which can eliminate drug-resistant breast cancer cells in a spheroid model via inducing apoptosis.

Project description:Microarray technology (Human OneArray microarray, phylanxbiotech.com) was used to compare gene expression profiles of non-invasive MCF-7 and invasive MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells exposed to dioscin (DS), a steroidal saponin isolated from the roots of wild yam, (Dioscorea villosa). Initially the differential expression of genes (DEG) was identified which was followed by pathway enrichment analysis (PEA). Of the genes queried on OneArray, we identified 4641 DEG changed between MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells (vehicle-treated) with cut-off log2 |fold change|?1. Among these genes, 2439 genes were upregulated and 2002 were downregulated. DS exposure (2.30 ?M, 72 h) to these cells identified 801 (MCF-7) and 96 (MDA-MB-231) DEG that showed significant difference when compared with the untreated cells (p<0.05). Within these gene sets, DS was able to upregulate 395 genes and downregulate 406 genes in MCF-7 and upregulate 36 and downregulate 60 genes in MDA-MB-231 cells. Further comparison of DEG between MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells exposed to DS identified 3626 DEG of which 1700 were upregulated and 1926 were down-regulated. Regarding to PEA, 12 canonical pathways were significantly altered between these two cell lines. However, there was no alteration in any of these pathways in MCF-7 cells, while in MDA-MB-231 cells only MAPK pathway showed significant alteration. When PEA comparison was made on DS exposed cells, it was observed that only 2 pathways were significantly affected. Further, we identified the shared DEG, which were targeted by DS and overlapped in both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, by intersection analysis (Venn diagram). We found that 7 DEG were overlapped of which six are reported in the database. This data highlight the diverse gene networks and pathways in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell lines treated with dioscin.
