Project description:Using LC-MS/MS, we analyzed ECM-enriched samples obtained from 1) human triple-negative breast cancer samples and matched adjacent normal mammary gland tissues, and 2) disease-free omentum from patient with non-metastatic ovarian cancer and high-grade- serous-ovarian- cancer-derived omental metastasis samples. We conducted the LC-MS/MS analysis on peptides obtained after solubilizing ECM-enriched samples using different methods (crude ECM extract, urea-soluble extract, urea-insoluble extract) and submitted to basic-reversed- phase separation or not.
Project description:In this study, through coupling of our ISDoT tissue decellularisation technology with quantitative mass spectrometry, we explored the changing tumour matrisome during mammary tumourigenesis in the PyMT breast cancer model compared to age-matched healthy control mammary gland
Project description:The purpose of this study is to obtain comprehensive gene expression profiles in breast cancer. Mammary gland cells were specifically isolated from 433 clinical tissue samples by laser capture microdissection (LCM). Total RNAs were extracted from LCM captured samples. We investigated gene expression profiles in 417 patients with breast cancer and 16 non-tumor tissues as a normal control using an Affymetrix GeneChip. Mammary gland cells were captured from clinical tissues of breast cancer patient by LCM. Gene expression profilings for 417 tumor and 16 non-tumor samples were acquired using GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Microarray datasets were normalized and transformed to log2 values using robust multi-array average (RMA) method with R statistical software and BioConductor package.

Project description:MicroRNAs are widely expressed in the normal pubertal mammary gland and orchestrate mammary gland development by regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and metabolism. Although human Growth hormone(hGH) plays fundamental roles in normal mammary gland development and elevated autocrine hGH levels have been documented to contribute to breast cancer, whether hGH should influence the expression pattern and the functional roles of miRNAs in this context remain unknown.This study explores the effects of autocrine hGH on microRNA expression in MCF7 cell.
Project description:WT mammary gland(WTMG),mutant-MG(MTMG),WT breast tumors(WTBT),MTBT and MTBT-adjacent MG were collected to do data-independent acquisiton(DIA)mass to find the intrinsic factors that is associated with Brca1-deficiency induced breast cancer.

Project description:Fibroblasts form a major component of the stroma in normal mammary tissue and breast tumors. Here we have applied single-cell transcriptome profiling to characterize fibroblasts in the mouse mammary gland across five different developmental stages and during mammary oncogenesis. In the normal gland, diverse stromal populations were resolved, including lobular-like fibroblasts, committed preadipocytes and adipogenesis-regulatory, as well as cycling fibroblasts in puberty and pregnancy. These specialized cell types appear to emerge from CD34high mesenchymal progenitor cells, accompanied by elevated Hedgehog pathway activity. During late tumorigenesis, diverse cancer-associated fibroblasts were identified in different models of breast cancer, including a population of CD34– myCAFs that were transcriptionally and phenotypically similar to senescent CAFs. Moreover, Wnt9a was demonstrated to be a regulator of senescence in CD34– myCAFs. These findings reflect a diverse and hierarchically organized stromal compartment in the normal mammary gland that provides a framework to better understand fibroblasts in normal and cancerous states.
