Project description:The aim of this study was to compare the mutational landscape of breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy (BCP) and breast cancer from age/stage non-pregnant patients (controls). We present whole genome sequencing data (Illumina HiSeq X ten platform) of tumor and matched normal tissues from 35 BCP patients and 20 controls. This work provides important novel biological insights and a unique resource to study the biology of breast cancer in young women and how pregnancy could modulate tumor biology.

Project description:Using a dataset of 54 pregnant and 113 age/stage-matched non-pregnant breast cancer patients with complete clinical and survival data; we evaluated the pattern of hot spot somatic mutations and performed transcriptomic profiling using Sequenom® and Affymetrix®, respectively. Breast cancer molecular subtypes were defined using PAM50 and 3-Gene classifiers. We performed Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) to evaluate pathways associated with diagnosis during pregnancy. We investigated the differential expression of cancer-related genes and published gene sets according to pregnancy. We finally investigated genes associated with disease-free survival. We identified 65 patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer during pregnancy. Moreover, for each case, two breast cancer patients who were not diagnosed during pregnancy or lactation, but who were matched according to age (±2 years), tumors size, nodal status, year of surgery (±2 years) and whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy was received were selected. Messenger RNA from tumor tissue has been extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. However, due to experimental issues, 54 pregnant and 113 non-pregnant patients were remaining and used in our study.

Project description:Pregnancy results in significant physiological changes which can impact the health and development of the fetus and mother. Pregnancy-induced changes in plasma lipoproteins are well-documented with modest to no impact observed on the generic measure of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. However, no studies have taken a deeper look at the impact of pregnancy on the concentration and composition of HDL subspecies. In this prospective study, we collected plasma from 24 non-pregnant and 19 pregnant women in their second trimester. Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) we quantified 11 different lipoprotein size subspecies from plasma including 3 in the HDL class. We observed a profound increase in the number of larger HDL particles in pregnant women. These findings were confirmed by tracking phospholipid across lipoproteins using high-resolution gel-filtration chromatography. Using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) we identified 87 lipid-associated proteins across size speciated fractions. We report drastic shifts in multiple protein clusters across different HDL sized fractions in pregnant females compared to their non-pregnant controls. In summary, we have shown that pregnancy results in major alterations in HDL subspecies concentrations and compositions that would have otherwise been missed using traditional lipid measurements. These findings significantly elevate our understanding of how changes in lipoprotein metabolism due to pregnancy could impact the health of both the fetus and the mother.

Project description:Metastasis depends on the ability of tumor cells to establish a relationship with the newly seeded host tissue that is conducive to their survival and proliferation. Recent evidence suggests that tumor cells regulate their own dissemination by preparing permissive “metastatic niches” within host tissues. However, the factors that are implicated in rendering tissues permissive for metastatic tumor growth have yet to be fully elucidated. Breast tumors arising during pregnancy display highly aggressive behaviour and early metastatic proclivity, raising the possibility that pregnancy may constitute a physiological condition of permissiveness for tumor dissemination. We show that during murine gestation, both the rate and degree of metastatic tumor growth are enhanced irrespective of tumor type and that decreased natural killer (NK) cell activity is responsible for the observed increase in experimental metastasis. We identify gene expression changes in pregnant mouse lung and liver that bear striking similarity with reported pre-metastatic niche signatures and several of the up-regulated genes are indicative of myeloid-cell infiltration. We provide evidence, that CD11b+ Gr-1+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells accumulate in pregnant mice and exert an inhibitory effect on NK cell activity, thereby enhancing metastatic tumor growth. MDSC have never been evoked in the context of pregnancy and our observations suggest that they may represent a further shared mechanism of immune suppression occurring during gestation and tumor growth. Three chips were done per organ (liver/lung) and per condition (virgin/pregnant), with equal amounts of RNA from two mice pooled for one chip.

Project description:Rationale: Maternal immune responses can promote allergy development in offspring. Pilot data show that neonates of mother mice exposed during pregnancy to air pollution particles have increased allergic susceptibility. Objective: We investigated whether inflammatory response to titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles earlier considered immunologically ‘inert’ is enhanced during pregnancy. Methods: Pregnant BALB/c mice (or non-pregnant controls) received particle suspensions intranasally at day 14 of pregnancy. Lung inflammatory responses were evaluated 19 and 48 h after exposure. Results: Pregnant mice showed robust and persistent acute inflammatory responses after exposure to TiO2, while non-pregnant females had the expected minimal responses. Genomic profiling identified genes differentially expressed in pregnant lungs exposed to TiO2. Neonates of mothers exposed to TiO2 (but not PBS) developed increased susceptibility to allergens. Conclusion: Pregnancy enhances lung inflammatory responses to otherwise relatively innocuous inert particles. Keywords: Particles exposure, pregnancy vs normal

Project description:Maternal serum levels of calcyclin and heat shock protein 90 were compared throughout pregnancy from the first trimester till term among women with preeclampsia (PE) and age-matched normotensive pregnant controls (C). Serum samples from two different studies, a nested case-control study embedded in the Rotterdam periconception cohort and the Lepra Study both conducted at the Erasmus MC in Rotterdam. They were collected in the first, second and third trimester of pregnancy in 43 patients with preeclampsia, consisting of 20 early-onset and 23 late-onset preeclampsia, and 46 normotensive pregnant controls. A serum based 2D LC-MS assay on Parallel Reaction Monitoring mode using a high resolution tribrid mass spectrometer was used to quantify both calcyclin and heat shock protein 90.

Project description:β-caryophyllene (BCP) exhibits anti-proliferative properties in cancer cells. Here, we examine the hypothesis that BCP induces membrane remodeling. Our data show that high concentrations of BCP increase membrane permeability of human breast cells (hBrC) causing detachment and cell death. At a “sub-lethal” concentration of BCP, we show that BCP induces a striking upregulation of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis, including the gene that encodes for HMGCoA reductase (HMGCR), the rate-determining step in cholesterol biosynthesis. In addition, stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is also upregulated which would lead to the enhanced formation of monounsaturated fatty acids, specifically oleate and palmitoleate from stearoyl CoA and palmitoyl CoA, respectively. These fatty acids are major components of membrane phospholipids and cholesterol esters. Together, these data suggest that cells respond to BCP by increasing the synthesis of components found in membranes. These responses could be viewed as a repair mechanism and/or as a mechanism to mount resistance to the cytotoxic effect of BCP. Blocking HMGCR enhances the cytotoxicity of BCP, suggesting that this may provide an additional therapeutic tool in controlling breast cancer cell growth, assuming that targeted specificity could be established.

Project description:Kidney transplantation remains the optimal therapeutical option for end stage kidney disease. Current immunosuppressive regimens are efficient in combating acute kidney rejection. However, the insight in chronic kidney allograft injury remains limited. Simultaneously, pregnancy in kidney recipients appears more prevalent than during dialysis treatment. Due to ethical issues comprehensive studies on the impact of current immunosuppressive regimens on pregnancy are challenging. Omics- technology enables the systemic insight into biology both of immunity and pregnancy beyond up-to-date collected knowledge. The aim of the study was to investigate the proteomic status of lymphocytes obtained from pregnant female rats under immunosuppressive treatment. The group of 10 pregnant Wistar rat females, 5 of which treated with tacrolimus, mofetil mycophenolate and glicocorticosteroids, 5 used as control. The lymphocytes were obtained and analyzed with mass-spectrometry. The outcomes were verified statistically in terms of proteins up- and down regulation.
