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:BackgroundThe CCR4-NOT complex (CNOT) plays an important role in regulating translation repression. Here, silencing of the complex via the transfection of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells with CNOT2 Small interfering RNA (siRNA) decreased the mRNA expression of DiGeorge Syndrome Critical Region 8 (DGCR8) and Dicer.MethodsGene expression profiling using an miRNA array was carried out with CNOT2 siRNA treated MDA-MB-231 cells. After transfection with CNOT2 siRNA, qRT-PCR was used to see the level of Dicer and DGCR8. PANTHER pathway analysis was used to see the biological function of microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs).ResultsCNOT2 siRNAs were attenuated the mRNA levels of Dicer and DGCR8. An analysis of miRNAs in CNOT2 silenced MDA-MB-231 cells using miRNA array revealed that 42 miRNAs, including has-miR-7, has-miR-4283, has-miR-10a were significantly upregulated while 47 miRNAs, including has-miR-3916 and has-miR-3613-5p were downregulated following CNOT2 silencing in MDA-MB-231 cells. Also, has-miR-3613-5p and has-miR-3916 rescued the inhibition of migration from CNOT2 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) MDA-MB-231 stable cell lines. PANTHER pathway analysis assigned the miRNAs to multiple processes, including Wnt signaling, angiogenesis, cadherin signaling, inflammation mediated by chemokine and cytokine signaling, integrin signaling, EGF receptor signaling and Huntington's disease.ConclusionsTogether, our findings provide useful target genes for understanding the molecular mechanisms of CNOT2 in breast cancer.

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts promote the development of many primary malignancies, but their function in metastatic progression is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that colonization of the lungs by metastatic breast cancer cells induces an inflammatory phenotype in lung fibroblasts. CXCL9 and CXCL10 are induced in an NFκB-dependent manner in metastasis-associated fibroblasts in response IL-1α and IL-1β secreted by disseminated breast cancer cells. We find that the chemokine receptor CXCR3, that binds CXCL9/10, is expressed in a small subset of breast cancer cells that exhibits greater tumor-initiating ability when co-transplanted with fibroblasts. CXCR3-expressing cancer cells maintain JNK signaling that drives IL-1A/B expression, and thus rendering this subpopulation efficient in both inducing CXCL9/10 in lung fibroblasts and responding to the chemokines. Importantly, disruption of the CXCL9/10-CXCR3 axis significantly reduces metastatic colonization in xenograft and syngeneic mouse models suggesting an essential role of this paracrine crosstalk in metastatic progression and a potential therapeutic vulnerability for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.

Project description:Project comparing the proteome between control and knockdown of KDM2B in MDA-MB-231 cell lines. Previous data demonstrated that knockdown of KDM2B induced transcriptional changes in ribosomal and metabolic gene targets and thus TMT proteomics was pursued to compare the protein level changes that occur after knockdown of KDM2B.

Project description:Bone sialoprotein (BSP) has become a target in breast cancer research as it is associated with tumor progression and metastasis. The mechanisms underlying the regulation of BSP expression have been largely elusive. Given that BSP is involved in the homing of cancer cells in bone metastatic niches, we addressed regulatory effects of proteolytic cleavage and extracellular matrix components on BSP expression and distribution in cell culture models. Therefore, MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells were kept in 2D and 3D spheroid cultures and exposed to basement membrane extract in the presence or absence of matrix metalloproteinase 9 or the non-polar protease, dispase. Confocal imaging of immunofluorescence samples stained with different antibodies against human BSP demonstrated a strong inducing effect of basement membrane extract on anti-BSP immunofluorescence. Similarly, protease incubation led to acute upregulation of anti-BSP immunofluorescence signals, which was blocked by cycloheximide, suggesting de novo formation of BSP. In summary, our data show that extracellular matrix components play an important function in regulating BSP expression and hint at mechanisms for the formation of bone-associated metastasis in breast cancer that might involve local control of BSP levels by extracellular matrix degradation and release of growth factors.

Project description:Expression of the voltage gated proton channel (Hv1) as identified by immunocytochemistry has been reported previously in breast cancer tissue. Increased expression of HV1 was correlated with poor prognosis and decreased overall and disease-free survival but the mechanism of its involvement in the disease is unknown. Here we present electrophysiological recordings of HV1 channel activity, confirming its presence and function in the plasma membrane of a breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231. With western blotting we identify significant levels of HV1 expression in 3 out of 8 "triple negative" breast cancer cell lines (estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptor expression negative). We examine the function of HV1 in breast cancer using MDA-MB-231 cells as a model by suppressing the expression of HV1 using shRNA (knock-down; KD) and by eliminating HV1 using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing (knock-out; KO). Surprisingly, these two approaches produced incongruous effects. Knock-down of HV1 using shRNA resulted in slower cell migration in a scratch assay and a significant reduction in H2O2 release. In contrast, HV1 Knock-out cells did not show reduced migration or H2O2 release. HV1 KO but not KD cells showed an increased glycolytic rate accompanied by an increase in p-AKT (phospho-AKT, Ser473) activity. The expression of CD171/LCAM-1, an adhesion molecule and prognostic indicator for breast cancer, was reduced in HV1 KO cells. When we compared MDA-MB-231 xenograft growth rates in immunocompromised mice, tumors from HV1 KO cells grew less than WT in mass, with lower staining for the Ki-67 marker for cell proliferation rate. Therefore, deletion of HV1 expression in MDA-MB-231 cells limits tumor growth rate. The limited growth thus appears to be independent of oxidant production by NADPH oxidase molecules and to be mediated by cell adhesion molecules. Although HV1 KO and KD affect certain cellular mechanisms differently, both implicate HV1-mediated pathways for control of tumor growth in the MDA-MB-231 cell line.
