Project description:The E3 ubiquitin ligase human murine double minute (HDM2) is overexpressed in 40%-80% of late-stage metastatic cancers in the absence of gene amplification. Hdm2 regulates p53 stability via ubiquitination and has also been implicated in altering the sensitivity of cells to TGF-beta1. Whether TGF-beta1 signaling induces Hdm2 expression leading to HDM2-mediated destabilization of p53 has not been investigated. In this study, we report that TGF-beta1-activated SMA- and MAD3 (Smad3/4) transcription factors specifically bound to the second promoter region of HDM2, leading to increased HDM2 protein expression and destabilization of p53 in human cancer cell lines. Additionally, TGF-beta1 expression led to Smad3 activation and murine double minute 2 (Mdm2) expression in murine mammary epithelial cells during epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Furthermore, histological analyses of human breast cancer samples demonstrated that approximately 65% of late-stage carcinomas were positive for activated Smad3 and HDM2, indicating a strong correlation between TGF-beta1-mediated induction of HDM2 and late-stage tumor progression. Identification of Hdm2 as a downstream target of TGF-beta1 represents a critical prosurvival mechanism in cancer progression and provides another point for therapeutic intervention in late-stage cancer.

Project description:Chemotherapy resistance frequently drives tumor progression. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly characterized. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been shown to correlate with therapy resistance, but the functional link and signaling pathways remain to be elucidated. We report here that miR-30c, a human breast tumor prognostic marker, plays a pivotal role in chemo-resistance by a direct targeting of the actintransporter TWF1, which promotes EMT. An IL-6 family member, IL-11 was identified as a secondary target of TWF1 in the miR-30c signaling pathway. Expression of miR-30c inversely correlated with IL-11 expression in clinical tumors and IL-11 correlated with relapse-free survival in breast cancer patients. Identification of a novel miRNA-mediated pathway that regulates chemo-resistance in breast cancer will facilitate the development of new management strategies. For the primary breast tumor and normal breast samples, both mRNAs (Agilent array data deposited in GSE22049) and miRNAs (Exiqon array data deposited here) profiles have been examined. Patient information include age, tumor subtype and outcome etc. When clustering samples and genes 152 of 757 miRNA passed the filtering criteria on variation across samples; standard deviation > 0.50. Hence, the upper 152 miRNAs in the expression matrix were used in the two-way hierarchical clustering of genes. The matrix numbers are all log2(Hy3/Hy5) ratios, meaning sample/pool. The percentages above the matrix indicates the present call in each sample/slide. When calling of a particular miRNA failed on an array this is indicated as a blank in the row containing this miRNA and in the column corresponding to this array. The criteria for deciding that the calling of a miRNA had failed on a particular array, was that 2 or more of the 4 replicated measures of this miRNA were flagged 1 or 2 (i.e. the signal is below background) by the image analysis software. Further in the expression matrix all capture probes with Hy3 and Hy5 signals lower than 1.5x of the median signal intensity of the given slide is indicated as a blank.

Project description:Although human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer was associated with poor prognosis, it has been changed after the development of trastuzumab. There has been great progress in perioperative HER2-targeting treatment, and investigations of several novel drugs and their combinations are ongoing. Adjuvant trastuzumab with or without pertuzumab for 1 year in combination with concomitant chemotherapy has become a standard treatment in high-risk node-negative tumors or node-positive HER2-positive early breast cancer patients without residual disease or who have not received neoadjuvant treatment. For low-risk HER2-positive early breast cancer patients, adjuvant paclitaxel and 1-year trastuzumab are possible alternatives. For residual disease after neoadjuvant treatment, adjuvant trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) for 14 cycles is a standard treatment. Non-anthracycline chemotherapy with dual anti-HER2 targeting of trastuzumab and pertuzumab represents one of the preferred neoadjuvant regimens to achieve higher pathologic complete response (pCR) rates and better clinical outcomes. Further research is needed to develop and validate potential biomarkers to predict pCR, which could help escalate or de-escalate anti-HER2 therapy. Trials incorporating novel agents such as T-DM1, trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), and immune checkpoint inhibitors and trying to de-escalate treatments in neoadjuvant setting are ongoing. In the future, tailored treatments such as no adjuvant therapy, various HER2-directed therapies alone with chemotherapy, combinations of various HER2-directed therapies and chemotherapy, addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors, and omission of surgery will be individualized in HER2-positive early breast cancer patients.

Project description:The majority of breast cancers present with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2)-negative features and might benefit from endocrine therapy. Although endocrine therapy has notably evolved during the last decades, the invariable appearance of endocrine resistance, either primary or secondary, remains an important issue in this type of tumor. The improvement of our understanding of the cancer genome has identified some promising targets that might be responsible or linked to endocrine resistance, including alterations affecting main signaling pathways like PI3K/Akt/mTOR and CCND1/CDK4-6 as well as the identification of new ESR1 somatic mutations, leading to an array of new targeted therapies that might circumvent or prevent endocrine resistance. In this review, we have summarized the main targeted therapies that are currently being tested in ER+ breast cancer, the rationale behind them, and the new agents and combinational treatments to come.

Project description:Exploring the molecular difference among breast cancer subtypes is of crucial importance in understanding its heterogeneity and seeking its effective clinical treatment. For this, several layers of information including immunohistochemical markers and a variety of high-throughput genomics approaches have been intensively used. Here we have explored the intrinsic differences among breast cancer subgroups defined by immunohistochemical expression (IHC) of hormone receptors ER and PR as well as human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) using the mRNA and miRNA expression profiles of 115 tumors. A core basal group was further defined by epidermal growth factor receptor and cytokeratin 5/6 IHC expression and compared to triple negative group. A set of differentially expressed genes including 1015 mRNAs and 69 miRNAs was found to distinguish tumor subtypes whose generality was demonstrated using two independent data sets. The network was explored for each subtype and biomass synthesis signaling was found to play an important role in the core basal subgroup. This study contributes to elucidating the intrinsic relations among breast cancer subgroups defined by ER, PR and HER2 expression via integrating mRNA and miRNA expression. The results can avail functional studies of breast cancer with translational potential for clinical use.

Project description:Despite advances in detection and treatment, metastatic breast cancer (MBC) remains the second highest cause of cancer-related death for women in the United States. Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) is amplified in 25-30% of breast cancers and is associated with aggressive disease and, historically, with poorer outcomes. The advent of trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody to HER2, revolutionized the management of HER2-positive breast cancer (BC) in the metastatic and adjuvant settings. However, relapse despite adjuvant trastuzumab and resistance to trastuzumab in the metastatic setting remain substantial clinical problems for many patients with HER2-positive BC. As such, analyzing the mechanisms of trastuzumab resistance and developing new therapy to overcome trastuzumab resistance are research priorities. There has been progress, with the approval of three additional HER2-targeted agents in the last six years: lapatinib, pertuzumab, and ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1). Other HER2-targeted therapies, including neratinib and afatinib, are in clinical development, and trials of novel agents such as heat shock protein-90 (HSP90) inhibitors, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors, and HER2-targeted vaccines are ongoing. In addition to developing new therapy, research is addressing several unique challenges in the management of HER2-positive MBC. In this article, we discuss advances in the treatment of HER2-positive MBC, with a focus on novel HER2-targeted therapy and HER2-targeted agents recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Additionally, we also address the management of brain metastases (BM) and hormone receptor (HR) - positive, HER2-positive MBC.
