Genes that mediate breast cancer metastasis to the brain

ABSTRACT: Brain metastasis is one of the most feared complications of cancer and the most common intracranial malignancy in adults. Its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. From breast cancer patients with metastatic disease we isolated cell populations that aggressively colonize the brain. Transcriptomic analysis of these cells yielded overlapping gene sets whose expression is selectively associated with brain metastasis. The expression of seventeen of these genes in primary breast tumors is associated with brain relapse in breast cancer patients. Some of these genes are also associated with metastasis to lung but not to liver, bone or lymph nodes, providing a molecular basis for the long-observed clinical link between brain and lung metastasis. Among the functionally validated brain metastasis genes, the cyclooxygenase COX-2, the EGFR ligand HB-EGF, and the brain-specific α2-6 sialyltransferase ST6GALNAC5 mediate cancer cell passage through the blood-brain barrier. Other brain metastasis genes encode inflammatory factors and brain-specific proteolytic regulators, suggesting a multifaceted program for breast cancer colonization of the brain.

Transcription profiling of human primary breast tumors

Project description:Brain metastasis is one of the most feared complications of cancer and the most common intracranial malignancy in adults. Its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. From breast cancer patients with metastatic disease we isolated cell populations that aggressively colonize the brain. Transcriptomic analysis of these cells yielded overlapping gene sets whose expression is selectively associated with brain metastasis.

Some of these genes are also associated with metastasis to lung but not to liver, bone or lymph nodes, providing a molecular basis for the long-observed link between brain and lung metastasis. Among the functionally validated brain metastasis genes, the cyclooxigenase COX-2, the EGFR ligand HB-EGF, and the brain-specific 2-6 sialyltransferase ST6GALNAC5 mediate cancer cell passage through the blood-brain barrier. Other brain metastasis genes encode inflammatory factors and brain-specific proteolytic regulators, suggesting a multifaceted program for breast cancer colonization of the brain. Experiment Overall Design: 204 primary tumors from breast cancer patients with known site of relapse were studied, focussing on brain relapse versus other relapse. Identified genes were validated in this cohort.

Transcription profiling of human breast cancer metastasis to the brain to identify genes involved

Project description:Brain metastasis is one of the most feared complications of cancer and the most common intracranial malignancy in adults. Its underlying mechanisms remain unknown.

Other brain metastasis genes encode inflammatory factors and brain-specific proteolytic regulators, suggesting a multifaceted program for breast cancer colonization of the brain. Experiment Overall Design: Two different breast cancer cell lines, MDA-MB-231 and freshly isolated pleural effusion CN34 were used in this study. The MDA-MB-231 group contains three biological replicates of the parental, unselected population, and 4 brain metastatic isolates. CN34 contains 2 biological replicates of the parental, unselected population, and 4 brain metastatic isolates. In each case, the parental population was compared to the brain metastatic isolates to identify gene expression changes associated with the brain metastatic phenotype.

YTHDF3 Induces the Translation of m6A-enriched Metastasis-associated Gene Transcripts to Promote Breast Cancer Brain Metastasis [m6A-seq]

Project description:Brain metastasis is a major cause of cancer mortality, but its molecular mechanisms are severely understudied. We found that YTHDF3 overexpression clinically correlates with brain metastases in breast cancer patients and is required for brain metastasis. Silencing YTHDF3 suppressed the brain metastasis of breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Integrated transcriptome and m6A-seq analysis revealed alter expression of selected YTHDF3 target genes, including ST6GALNAC5, GJA1, and EGFR by promoting m6A-dependent translation of these target transcripts. Our work uncovers an essential role of YTHDF3 in controlling the interaction between cancer cells and brain microenvironment, thereby gaining brain metastatic competence.

Comparative Membrane Proteomics Analyses of Breast Cancer Cell Lines to Understand the Molecular Mechanism of Breast Cancer Brain Metastasis

Project description:Breast cancer is the leading type of cancer in women. Breast cancer brain metastasis is considered as an essential issue in breast cancer patients. Membrane proteins play important roles in breast cancer brain metastasis that contributes to the cell adhesion and penetration of blood-brain barrier. To achieve a deeper insight of the mechanism of breast cancer brain metastasis, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was performed to analyze the enriched membrane proteomes from six different breast cancer cell lines. Quantitative proteomic data of all cell lines were compared with MDA-MB-231BR which has the specific brain metastasis capacity. 1239 proteins were identified and 990 were quantified with more than 70% of membrane proteins in all cell lines. Each cell line can be separated apart from others in PCA. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) supported the high brain metastatic ability of 231BR and suggested importance of the up-regulation of integrin proteins and down-regulation of EPHA in brain metastasis. 28 proteins were observed unique expression alteration in 231BR. The up-regulation of NPM1, hnRNP Q, hnRNP K and eIF3l and the down-regulation of TUBB4B and TUBB were observed to be associated with the brain metastasis cell line and may contributes to the breast cancer brain metastasis.

Integrated Transcriptomics, Proteomics and Glycomics for a Deeper Insight of the Mechanism of Breast Cancer Brain Metastasis: Emphasizing on Glycosylation

Project description:Breast cancer brain metastasis has been recognized as one of the central issues in breast cancer research. Elucidation of the process and pathway that mediate this step is expected to provide important clues for a better understanding of breast cancer metastasis. Increasing evidence suggests that the aberrant glycosylation patterns greatly contribute to the cell invasion and cancer metastasis. Herein, we combined next generation RNA sequencing with liquid chromatograph-tandem mass spectrometry based proteomic and N-glycomic analysis from five breast cancer cell lines and one brain cancer cell line to investigate the possible mechanism of breast cancer brain metastasis. 24763 genes were identified including 14551 differentially expressed genes across six cell lines while proteomic analysis allowed the quantitation of 1096 differentially expressed proteins with approximately 83.8% proteins’ regulation matching their gene expression change. The genes/proteins associated with cell movement were highlighted in the breast cancer brain metastasis. Integrin signaling pathway and the up-regulation of α-integrin (ITGA2, ITGA3) associated with the brain metastatic process was shown through Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). Overall 91 glycosylation genes were selected from transcriptomic data and all exhibited differential expression. 12 glycogenes showed unique expression in 231BR. The regulation of these genes could result in an activation prediction of sialylation function in 231BR by ingenuity pathway analysis. In agreement with the changes of glycogenes, 60 N-glycans out of 63 identified exhibited differential expression among cell lines. The correlation of glycogenes and glycans revealed the importance of sialylation and sialylated glycans in breast cancer brain metastasis. Highly sialylated glycans, which were up-regulated in brain seeking cell line 231BR, probably contributes to brain metastasis.

Functional and genomic characterization of a xenograft model system for the study of metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer

Project description:To define the molecular regulators of metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer, we conducted a rigorous characterization of four populations of MDA-MB-231 human triple-negative breast cancer cells that display a range of intrinsic spontaneous metastatic capacities in immuno-deficient mice, from non-metastatic to highly metastatic to lung, liver, spleen and spine. PAT-Seq gene expression profiling of primary tumor cells identified the fibroblast growth factor homologous factor, FGF13, as a candidate metastatic virulence gene highly upregulated in aggressively metastatic MDA-MB-231HM tumors.
