Effects of IGF 1 on primary breast fibroblasts (normal and carcinoma associated)

ABSTRACT: To characterize the effects of IGF 1 on primary breast fibroblasts, we cultured pre-starved primary breast fibroblasts (normal and carcinoma associated) from three patients with or without 50ng/ml IGF 1 for 24 h. We then profiled gene expression changes using Human Exonic Evidence Based Oligonucleotide (HEEBO) microarrays. After stimulation, total RNA was extracted and amplified using a modified Eberwine procedure. The amplified RNA was labeled with the fluorescent dye Cy5 and pooled with Cy3 labeled reference RNA, and then the pooled RNA was hybridized onto HEEBO microarrays. After hybridization and washing, arrays were scanned on a fluorescent microscope scanner. An all pairs experiment design type is where all labeled extracts are compared to every other labeled extract.

Project description:BackgroundThe extensional signals in cross-talk between stromal cells and tumor cells generated from extracellular matrix molecules, soluble factor, and cell-cell adhesion complexes cooperate at the extra- and intracellular level in the tumor microenvironment. CAFs are the primary type of stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment and play a pivotal role in tumorigenesis and development. Hitherto, there is hardly any systematic analysis of the intrinsic relationship between CAFs function and its abnormal signaling pathway. The extreme complexity of CAFs' features and their role in tumor development are needed to be further investigated.Methodology/principal findingsWe primary cultured CAFs and NFs from early stages of breast cancer tissue and identified them using their biomarker by immunohistochemistry for Fibronectin, ?-SMA and FAP. Microarray was applied to analyze gene expression profiles of human breast CAFs and the paired NFs. The Up-regulated genes classified by Gene Ontology, signal pathways enriched by DAVID pathway analysis. Abnormal signaling pathways in breast cancer CAFs are involved in cell cycle, cell adhesion, signal transduction and protein transport being reported in CAFs derived from other tumors. Significantly, the altered ATM signaling pathway, a set of cell cycle regulated signaling, and immune associated signaling are identified to be changed in CAFs.Conclusions/significanceCAFs have the vigorous ability of proliferation and potential of invasion and migration comparing with NFs. CAFs could promote breast cancer cell invasion under co-culture conditions through up-regulated CCL18 and CXCL12. Consistently with its biologic behavior, the gene expression profiling analyzed by microarray shows that some of key signaling pathways, such as cell cycle, cell adhesion, and secreting factors play an important role in CAFs. The altered ATM signaling pathway is abnormally active in the early stage of breast cancer. The set of immune associated signaling may be involved in tumor cell immune evasion.
