Role of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in spontaneous breast cancer metastasis

ABSTRACT: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been linked to cancer progression and metastatic propensity. The 4T1 tumor is a clinically relevant model of spontaneous breast cancer metastasis. Here we characterize 4T1-derived cell lines for EMT, in vitro invasiveness and in vivo metastatic ability. Contrary to expectations, the 67NR cells, which form primary tumors but fail to metastasize, express vimentin and N-cadherin, but not E-cadherin. 4T1 cells, however, express E-cadherin, are highly migratory and invasive, and metastasize to multiple sites. The 66cl4 metastatic cells display mixed epithelial and mesenchymal markers, but are less migratory and invasive than 67NR cells. These findings demonstrate that the metastatic ability of breast cancer cells does not correlate with genotypic and phenotypic properties of EMT per se, and suggest that other processes may govern metastatic capability. Gene expression analysis also has not identified differences in EMT markers, but has identified several candidate genes that may influence metastatic ability. Keywords: cell type comparison

Transcription profiling of mouse BALB/c strain animals injected with breast cancer 4T1-derived cells to investigate the role of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in spontaneous breast cancer metastasis

Experiment Overall Design: Female BALB/c mice were injected with 1x10^6 viable cells (3 mice with 4T1/CMVLUC, 3 mice with 66cl4/CMVLUC, and 3 mice with 67NR/CMVLUC) into the right fourth mammary gland. 15 days after injection primary tumors were excised, and total RNA for microarray hybridization was isolated from the tumor part of laser capture microdissected sections.

Glycogene expression changes between different passages in the 4T1 Mouse metastatic breast cancer cell line

Project description:This laboratory's focus is on the immune response to carbohydrate antigens, with an emphasis on modalities to analyze and to increase the immune response. We are also interested in carbohydrate drug targeting. The hypothesis is that these 2 variants have different cell surface carbohydrate expression, which results in different adhesion patterns, which ultimately results in different metastasis patterns. Evidence for expression differences and loss of the variants ability to metastasize to the lung could have clinical implications in the prevention of metastasis to different organs. The 4T1 mouse metastatic breast cancer cell line is known to change with passages in culture. Our data has shown changes cause the cells to metastasize to the intestine rather than to the lung. Four classes of RNA were analyzed: one each from 4T1 metastatic cell line variant #1, 4T1 variant #2, non-metastatic cell lines 4T07, and non-metastatic cell line 67NR. Classes were prepared in triplicate for a total of 12 samples. All samples were hybridized to the custom designed CFG GLYCOv2 glycogene array.

An Engineered Niche Delineates Metastatic Potential of Breast Cancer

Project description:We aimed to identify metastatic disease prior to the formation of an overt secondary tumor in triple-negative breast cancer using sister cell lines 4T1 (metastatic), 4T07 (invasive, non-metastatic), and 67NR (non-metastatic). We used a porous, polycaprolactone scaffold, that serves as an engineered metastatic niche, to identify metastatic disease through the changing microenvironment.

Cytosolic phospholipase A2 alpha regulates TLR signaling and migration in metastatic 4T1 cells

Project description:We aimed at characterizing the response to reduced cPLA2α activity in metastatic versus non-metastatic cells. We employed an isogenic murine cell line pair displaying metastatic (4T1) and non-metastatic (67NR) phenotype to investigate the role of cPLA2α on migration. Further, we elucidate the effect of reduced cPLA2α activity on global gene expression in the metastatic cell line We found that cPLA2α inhibition may inhibit metastasis through an anti-migratory effect, possibly involving Toll-like receptor signaling and type I interferons

TGF-beta-mediated microRNA expression in breast cancer cells

Project description:We utilized 3D-organotypic cultures whose physical properties were altered by inclusiong of type I collagen to create biomechanically rigid microenvironments that approximated those typically observed in primary mammary tumors. Compliant 3D-organotypic cultures were also generated to recapitulate the biomechanical properties of pulmonary microenvironments typically encountered by disseminated breast carcioma cells. The murine 4T1 progression series represents an established model of triple negative breast cancer development and metastasis and consists of isogenically-derived nonmetastatic 67NR, systemically invasive 4TO7, and highly metastatic 4T1 cells that were propagated for 6 days in the absense or presense of TGF-beta in either rigid or compliant 3D-cultures. Afterward, total RNA was extracted and subjected to miRNA profiling. two replicates of each growth and treatment condition for each cell line.

RNA-seq expression profiling of murine breast tumor cell lines

Project description:Breast tumour cells were found to remodel the bone marrow vascular microenviornment to support metastatic expansion. To identify tumour-derived factors that stimulate marrow endothelium, we studied the transcriptomes of four isogenic murine mammary tumour cell lines, 4T1.2, 4T1, 66cl4 and 67NR.

Expression profile of PC-3-derived cell lines after transendothelial migration

Project description:Metastatic colonization involves cancer cell lodgment or adherence in the microvasculature and subsequent migration of those cells across the endothelium into a secondary organ site. To study this process further, we analyzed transendothelial migration of human PC-3 prostate cancer cells in vitro. We isolated a subpopulation of cells, TEM4-18, that crossed an endothelial barrier more efficiently, but surprisingly, were less invasive than parental PC-3 cells in other contexts in vitro. Importantly, TEM4-18 cells were more aggressive than PC-3 cells in a murine metastatic colonization model. Microarray and FACS analysis of these cells showed that the expression of many genes previously associated with leukocyte trafficking and cancer cell extravasation were either unchanged or down-regulated. TEM4-18 cells exhibited characteristic molecular markers of an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), including frank loss of E-cadherin expression and upregulation of the E-cadherin repressor ZEB1. Silencing ZEB1 in TEM4-18 cells resulted in increased E-cadherin and reduced transendothelial migration. TEM4-18 cells also express N-cadherin, which was found to be necessary, but not sufficient for increased transendothelial migration. Our results extend the role of EMT in metastasis to transendothelial migration and implicate ZEB1 and N-cadherin in this process in prostate cancer cells.

FADS1/2 control lipid metabolism and ferroptosis susceptibility in triple-negative breast cancer

Project description:Analysis of factors upregulated in highly aggressive 4T1 tumour cells compared to the less aggressive 4T07 tumour cells and the non-metastatic 67NR tumour cells at gene expression level. The question addressed in the present study was which metabolic pathways are differentially activated by these cells and therefore could account for the observed difference metastatic potential of these tumours. Results provide important characterisation of the ex vivo expression profiles of highly aggressive vs. non-aggressive tumour cells. 4T07 and 4T1 tumour cell data was previously published in GSE50471.
