Project description:It is widely recognized that cancer development and progression depend not only on tumor-cell intrinsic factors but also on its microenvironment and on the host characteristics. Adipocytes are the main stromal cells in the breast and an heterotypic interaction between breast epithelial cells and adipocytes has been demonstrated. To date, the alterations associated with adipocyte dedifferentiation has to be further studied. The aim of our work is to compare gene expression profile of mature adipocytes (MA), adipocytes dedifferentiated (DED) by breast cancer cells and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) using the ASC52htert in vitro model.

Project description:Cancer development and progression depend on tumor cell intrinsic factors, the tumor microenvironment and host characteristics. Despite the identification of the plasticity of adipocytes, the primary breast stromal cells, both in physiology and cancer, we lack a complete understanding of mechanisms that regulate adipocyte-tumor cell crosstalk. Here we dissected the breast cancer crosstalk with adipocytes and studied relevant molecules. We identified that the ability of breast cancer cells to dedifferentiate adipocytes is intrinsic subtype-dependent, with all breast cancer subtypes, except for HER2+ER+ subtype, capable of inducing this phenomenon. Crosstalk between breast cancer cells and adipocytes in vitro increased cancer stem-like features and recruitment of pro-tumorigenic immune cells, through chemokine production. Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) was in vitro identified as a regulator of the adipocyte dedifferentiation program in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) through CD36 and P2XR7 signaling. In human TNBCs, SAA1 expression was associated with CAA infiltration, inflammation, stimulated lipolysis, stem-like properties and distinct tumor immune microenvironment. Our findings provide evidence that interaction between tumor cells and adipocytes through SAA1 release is relevant to the aggressiveness of TNBC, potentially supporting its targeting.

Project description:Results When compared with each other, primary tumors and regional metastases showed statistically indistinguishable gene expression patterns. Supervised analyses comparing patients with distant metastases versus primary tumors or regional metastases showed that the distant metastases were distinct and distinguished by the lack of expression of fibroblast/mesenchymal genes, and by the high expression of a 13-gene profile (that is, the âvascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) profileâ) that included VEGF, ANGPTL4, ADM and the monocarboxylic acid transporter SLC16A3. At least 8 out of 13 of these genes contained HIF1α binding sites, many are known to be HIF1α-regulated, and expression of the VEGF profile correlated with HIF1α IHC positivity. The VEGF profile also showed prognostic significance on tests of sets of patients with breast and lung cancer and glioblastomas, and was an independent predictor of outcomes in primary breast cancers when tested in models that contained other prognostic gene expression profiles and clinical variables. Conclusions These data identify a compact in vivo hypoxia signature that tends to be present in distant metastasis samples, and which portends a poor outcome in multiple tumor types. Microarrays and immunohistochemistry were used to analyze primary breast tumors, regional (lymph node) metastases, and distant metastases in order to identify biological features associated with distant metastases.

Project description:Metastasis of breast cancer to other distant organs is fatal to patients. However, few studies have revealed biomarkers associated with distant metastatic breast cancer. Furthermore, the inability of current biomarkers such as HER2, ER and PR, in accurately differentiating between distant metastatic breast cancers from non-distant metastatic ones necessitates the development of novel biomarkers. An integrated proteomics approach that combines filter-aided sample preparation, tandem mass tag labeling (TMT), high pH fractionation, and high resolution MS was applied to acquire in-depth proteome data of distant metastatic breast cancer FFPE tissue. Bioinformatics analyses for gene ontology and signaling pathways using differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were performed to investigate molecular characteristics of distant metastatic breast cancer. In addition, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and invasion/migration assays were performed to validate the differential regulation and functional capability of biomarker candidates. A total of 9,459 and 8,760 proteins were identified from the pooled sample set and the individual sample set, respectively. Through our stringent criteria, TUBB2A was selected as a novel biomarker. The metastatic functions of the candidate were subsequently validated. Bioinformatics analysis using DEPs were able to characterize the overall molecular features of distant metastasis as well as investigate the differences across breast cancer subtypes. Our study is the first to explore the distant metastatic breast cancer proteome using FFPE tissue. The depth of our dataset enabled the discovery of novel biomarker and the investigation of proteomic characteristics of distant metastatic breast cancer. The distinct molecular features of breast cancer subtypes were also observed. Our proteomic data has important utility as a valuable resource for the research on distant metastatic breast cancer.

Project description:Circulating microRNAs have recently emerged as a new class of promising non-invasive cancer biomarkers. The purpose of this study was the identification by a high-throughput approach (miRNA microarray) of circulating miRNAs associated with breast cancer-derived distant metastasis. To achieve this goal, we resorted to archival plasma samples collected from patients in the control arm of a randomized clinical trial on stage I breast cancer. We compared plasma miRNA levels in patients that developed distant metastasis after a radical or conservative surgery and in those long-term disease-free. Microarray results were technically and independently validated by Real Time PCR. Subsequent in vitro, in vivo and in silico analyses were performed to investigate the miRNA biological/clinical significance in relation with breast cancer progression. We demonstrated that high circulating miR-1246 levels were associated to distant metastasis and that high tissue expression of this miRNA was correlated with unfavorable outcome in ER+HER2- breast cancer patients. In addition, miR-1246 expression was also found to be related with stem-like features. 64 samples (32 patients with metastasis and 32 patients with no metastasis) were considered from a total of 208 hybridized samples collected between 1987 and 2004 (including 94 paired samples according to tumor ER status, age at drawing, drawing year, time from surgery, 7 additional samples from 'no evidence of disease' (NED) patients, 10 references, 1 healthy donor and 2 replicated samples)

Project description:The presence or absence of lymph node metastasis plays a major role in the prediction of prognosis and subsequent patient management. However, good proportion of patients who display lymph node positivity remain disease free for 3 years or more, after the initial treatment, while a third of those who were lymph node negative at presentation, develop distant metastasis within the same period. We performed gene expression profiling on a cohort Indian breast cancer patients followed up for a period of 3-5 years and in comparison with a previously published Caucasian cohort data, we identified gene signatures that are associated with distant metastasis. This association was irrespective of the hormone receptor status. Our results show that the genes that signify immune system development and response are repressed, while factors for DNA replication are up regulated in patients who develop distant metastasis. A large number of genes encoding proteins involved in the mitotic spindle formation that belong to the TRIM28 protein network, are differentially regulated in the metastatic tumors. Also, there was a significant overlap of genes reported in a mouse model of bone metastasis, with patients who developed bone metastasis in our cohort. In conclusion, we present for the first time probable gene signatures that correlate with distant metastasis in breast cancer patients irrespective of nodal or hormone receptor status
