ABSTRACT: Gene expression differences, combined with distinct patterns of genomic rearrangements and epigenetic modifications constitute the bases of molecular classification of breast cancer. Molecular subtypes may originate from different cell lineages in the mammary gland, but also from the early activation of oncogenes that may drive the establishment of these molecular subtypes. However, in the natural history of human cancer, it is difficult to discriminate between these two factors : cell lineage and initial oncogenic alterations. In this work, we designed an experimental strategy aiming at determining whether activation of distinct oncogenic pathways in human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) could lead to different patterns of genetic and epigenetic changes. This work suggests that the early activation of oncogenes is an important determinant of the establishment of breast cancer molecular subtypes along with cell lineage origin.
