Project description:Brca1 mutation predisposes women to early onset of breast and ovarian cancers.Through its diverse functions in DNA damage repair, cell cycle control, transcription regulation, ubiquitination and so on, BRCA1 acts as a very significant tumor suppressor and genomic safeguard. Brca1 deficiency induces severe cellular stress, when occurring in the mammary glands, it impairs the regular developmental process and eventually causes tumorigenesis due to accumulation of genome instability and other mechanisms. The Brca1-defiencient mouse mammary tumor were characterized with great tumoral heterogeneity, which is in line with the human breast cancers carrying BRCA1 mutations. Here we studied the molecular complexicity of Brca1-deficient mouse mammary tumors vie RNA sequencing.

Project description:The dire need for more effective treatments for clinically aggressive breast cancers has motivated intensive investigations into their cellular and molecular etiology. Breast cancers that are “triple-negative” for the clinical markers, ESR1, PGR, and HER2, typically belong to the Basal-like molecular subtype. Defective Rb, p53, and Brca1 pathways are each associated with triple-negative and Basal-like subtypes. Our mouse genetic studies demonstrate that concomitant inactivation of all three pathways in mammary epithelium has an additive effect on tumor latency, and predisposes highly penetrant, metastatic, adenocarcinomas. These tumors are poorly differentiated with histologic features that are common among human Brca1-mutated tumors, including heterogeneous morphology, metaplasia, and necrosis. Transcriptomic analyses demonstrated that the tumors shared attributes of both Basal-like and Claudin-low signatures, two molecular subtypes encompassed by the broader triple-negative category defined by clinical markers. Ex vivo tumorsphere formation, which was suppressed by Notch and Wnt pathway inhibition, and tumor antigen profiles and are consistent with enrichment of stem-like and luminal progenitor cells among these tumors. These studies establish a novel mouse model of malignant breast cancer based on events in the human disease and underscore the non-reciprocal requirements of three canonical tumor suppressor pathways in breast cancer evolution. Morphogenetic pathways may provide additional avenues for targeted therapeutic intervention. Gene expression analysis of mouse mammary tumors with perturbation of Rb family pathways, p53, and/or Brca1 are compared to other mouse model tumors (n=152)

Project description:Breast cancers that are “triple-negative” for the clinical markers ESR1, PGR, and HER2 typically belong to the Basal-like molecular subtype. Defective Rb, p53, and Brca1 pathways are each associated with triple-negative and Basal-like subtypes. Our mouse genetic studies demonstrate that the combined inactivation of Rb and p53 pathways is sufficient to suppress the physiological cell death of mammary involution. Furthermore, concomitant inactivation of all three pathways in mammary epithelium has an additive effect on tumor latency and predisposes highly penetrant, metastatic adenocarcinomas. The tumors are poorly differentiated and have histologic features that are common among human Brca1-mutated tumors, including heterogeneous morphology, metaplasia, and necrosis. Gene expression analyses demonstrate that the tumors share attributes of both Basal-like and Claudin-low signatures, two molecular subtypes encompassed by the broader, triple-negative class defined by clinical markers. These studies establish a unique animal model of aggressive forms of breast cancer for which there are no effective, targeted treatments. Rb, p53, and Brca1 are associated with inherited forms of cancer, but defects in these pathways are also found together in a subset of breast cancer patients without a family history of the disease. Simultaneous inactivation of all three pathways causes more aggressive disease than do pair-wise combinations, indicating that the pathways play non-overlapping roles in tumor prevention. We investigated the effect of perturbation of Rb family pathways, p53, and/or Brca1 in mouse mammary epithelium. Eighteen tumors were compared to normal spleen DNA.

Project description:Microarrays were used to determine relative global gene expression changes in WT and BRCA1-mutation carrier breast epithelium as well as tumors created from WT and BRCA1-mutation carrier breast epithelial cells. Total RNA was isolated from freshly dissociated mammary epithelilal cells obtained from disease-free prophylactic masectomy tissues of 4 different BRCA1-mutation carriers or 4 different reduction mammoplasty tissues from non-mutation carriers. Total RNA was also isolated from fresh tumor tissues derived from in vivo transformed human mammary epithelial cells created from cells obtained from WT or BRCA1-muation carrires. Dissociated mammary epithelial cells were transduced with lentiviruses encoding mutant p53, mutant ras, mutant PI3K and cyclin D1 and injected into in humanized glands. There were four tumor tissues isolated for each genetic background.

Project description:Most BRCA1-associated breast tumors are basal-like yet originate from luminal progenitor cells. BRCA1 is best known for its functions in DNA repair and resolution of DNA replication stress. However, it is unclear whether loss of these ubiquitously important functions of BRCA1 fully explains the cell lineage-specific increase in breast tumor development. Cell culture-based studies implicate BRCA1 in elimination of R-loops, DNA-RNA hybrid structures involved in transcriptional regulation and genetic instability. We found that BRCA1 mutation-associated R-loop accumulates preferentially in luminal epithelial cells of cancer-free human breast tissue, and at the 5' end of those genes that experience promoter-proximal RNA polymerase II (Pol II) pausing. Genetic ablation of mouse NELF-B/COBRA1, a Pol II-pausing factor and BRCA1-binding protein, in Brca1 knockout mouse mammary epithelium ameliorates R-loop accumulation and reduces mammary tumorigenesis. Our studies show that Pol II pausing is a previously unappreciated contributor to BRCA1-associated R-loop accumulation and breast cancer development.

Project description:BRCA1 inactivation is a hallmark of familial breast cancer, often encountered in aggressive triple negative breast cancers. BRCA1 is a tumor suppressor with known functions in DNA repair, transcription regulation, cell cycle control, and apoptosis. In the present study, we demonstrate that BRCA1 is also a translational regulator. Based on the combination of RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation and microarray analysis, as well as polysome profiling, we identified a subset of mRNAs translationally regulated by BRCA1 and coding for proteins whose functions play major role in cancer. We found that the level of these key proteins is similarly controlled in human mammary tumors according to their BRCA1-status. Therefore, our results propose translational control as a novel molecular mechanism with clinical relevance through which BRCA1 is a tumor suppressor.

Project description:Female BRCA1 mutation carriers have a nearly 80% probability of developing breast cancer during their life-time. We hypothesized that the breast epithelium at risk in BRCA1 mutation carriers harbors mammary epithelial cells (MECs) with altered proliferation and differentiation properties. Microarray studies revealed that PMEC colonies from BRCA1 mutation carriers anticipate expression profiles found in BRCA1-related tumors, and that the EGFR pathway is upregulated in BRCA1 mutation carriers compared ton non BRCA1 mutation carriers.
