RNA Expression Profiling Comparing ER+ Postpartum Breast Cancer with ER+ Nulliparous Breast Cancer

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To perform RNA-Seq expression profiling from Young Women's Breast Cancer FFPE tissues, comparing ER+ Postpartum Brest Cancer to ER+ Nulliparous Breast Cancer Methods: RNA was extracted and isolated from archival Estrogen Receptor Positive primary breast cancer FFPE tissues ( 9 Postpartum, 7 Nulliparous). RNA species selected for inclusion in library utilzing Illumina-Access bead based oligo library preparation representing > 98% of known protein coding genes. Results: We identified gene pathway differences in estrogen receptor signaling, t-cell immunity and cell cycle between nulliparous and postpartum breast cancer cases. Subset analysis also revealed an enrichment in extra-cellular matrix pathway related genes in postpartum compared to nulliparous and luminal A cases.

Project description:G0/G1 switch gene 2 (G0S2) is known to inhibit lipolysis through inhibition of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL). Although G0S2 has also been proposed to be involved in cancer progression, this role appears complex, and mechanisms are unclear. We recently reported a role for G0S2 in ER+ breast cancer suppression as low G0S2 expression correlated with increased recurrence after antiestrogen therapy and increased G0S2 expression sensitized ER+ breast cancer cells to tamoxifen and PI3K/mTOR inhibitors. In this report we dissect the role of G0S2 in ER+ versus ER- breast cancer. Overexpression of G0S2 in ER- breast cancer cells increased cell proliferation while G0S2 overexpression in ER+ breast cancer cells decreased cell proliferation. Transcriptome analysis revealed that G0S2 mediated distinct but overlapping transcriptional responses in ER- and ER+ cells. G0S2 reduced genes associated with an epithelial phenotype, especially in ER- cells, including CDH1, ELF3, STEAP4 and TACSTD2 suggesting promotion of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). G0S2 also repressed estrogen signaling and estrogen receptor target gene signatures, especially in ER+ cells, including TFF1 and TFF3. In addition, G0S2 overexpression increased cell migration in ER- cells and increased estrogen deprivation sensitivity in ER+ cells. Interestingly, two genes downstream of ATGL in fat utilization, HMGCS1 and HMGCS2, that are also rate-limiting in steroid hormone biosynthesis, were downregulated in G0S2 overexpressing ER+ cells. In addition, HSD17B11, a gene that converts estradiol to its less estrogenic derivative, estrone, was highly upregulated in G0S2 overexpressing ER+ cells, suggesting G0S2 overexpression has a negative effect of estradiol production and maintenance. High levels of estrone were confirmed to be present in G0S2 overexpressing cells. High expression of G0S2 and HSD17B11 was associated with improved relapse free survival in breast cancer patients while high expression of HMGSC1 was associated with poor survival. In addition, the expression of G0S2 positively and negatively correlated respectively, with expression of HSD17B11 and HMGSC1 in patient samples. Finally, we deleted G0S2 in breast cancer prone MMTV-PyMT mice that have been hypothesized to be partially estrogen sensitive during early stages of tumorigenesis but develop ER- tumors. In this context, G0S2 functioned as a tumor promoter, with G0S2 null mice demonstrating a slight increase in tumor latency and decrease in tumor weight and a larger inhibitory effect on tumor metastasis. Our data indicates a complex role for G0S2 in breast cancer, dependent on ER status, that may be mediated in part by suppression of the estrogen signaling pathway.
