Preclinical model of obesity and ER-positive breast cancer

ABSTRACT: Here, we developed a mouse model of diet induced obesity that is graft competent. In this model, we grew an ER-positive breast cancer patient derived tumor. Following ovariectomy and estrogen deprivation therapy, tumors continued to grow in obese but not lean mice. RNAsequencing analysis was performed on tumors from estrogen-supplemented lean mice, and from lean and obese mice after estrogen deprivation. This analysis identified fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling as a potential driver of tumor progression in the context of obesity.

Project description:The expression of adipogenic genes is decreased in obesity and diabetes mellitus ; Samuel T. Nadler*, Jonathan P. Stoehr*, Kathryn L. Schueler*, Gene Tanimoto, Brian S. Yandell, and Alan D. Attie*,Â§ ; Departments of * Biochemistry, and Statistics and Horticulture, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, 53706; and Affymetrix, Inc., Santa Clara, CA 95051 ; Communicated by Neal L. First, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, July 13, 2000 (received for review April 3, 2000) ; Obesity is strongly correlated with type 2 diabetes mellitus, a common disorder of glucose and lipid metabolism. Although adipocytes are critical in obesity, their role in diabetes has only recently been appreciated. We conducted studies by using DNA microarrays to identify differences in gene expression in adipose tissue from lean, obese, and obese-diabetic mice. The expression level of over 11,000 transcripts was analyzed, and 214 transcripts showed significant differences between lean and obese mice. Surprisingly, the expression of genes normally associated with adipocyte differentiation were down-regulated in obesity. Not all obese individuals will become diabetic; many remain normoglycemic despite profound obesity. Understanding the transition to obesity with concomitant diabetes will provide important clues to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, we examined the levels of gene expression in adipose tissue from five groups of obese mice with varying degrees of hyperglycemia, and we identified 88 genes whose expression strongly correlated with diabetes severity. This group included many genes that are known to be involved in signal transduction and energy metabolism as well as genes not previously examined in the context of diabetes. Our data show that a decrease in expression of genes normally involved in adipogenesis is associated with obesity, and we further identify genes important for subsequent development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Experiment Overall Design: For obesity study, lean samples include C57BL/6J lean, (C57BL/6J X BTBR) F1 and BTBR lean, obese sampples incluse C57BL/6J-ob/ob, (C57BL/6J X BTBR) F2-ob/ob and BTBR-ob/ob. All samples are subjected to Mu11K A and B arrays. Experiment Overall Design: For diabetes study, B6-ob/ob, (C57BL/6J X BTBR) F2-ob/ob low glucose, (C57BL/6J X BTBR) F2-ob/ob medium glucose, (C57BL/6J X BTBR) F2-ob/ob high glucose, and BTBR-ob/ob samples were analyzed for genes whose expression levels changes correlated with the plasma glucose levels in these mice. All samples are subjected to Mu11K A and B arrays.
