Project description:Coactivator associated arginine methyltransferase 1 has been reported to play paramount roles in estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-positive breast cancer. It promotes breast cancer development and metastasis. However, little research about CARM1 has been focused on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, we report that CARM1 promotes proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stemness in TNBC. CARM1 transactivates Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF1A) and is physically associated with it. They function together in a concerted complex to regulate downstream targets and promote the carcinogenesis and metastasis of TNBC.

Project description:Breast cancer is the most common malignancy that develops in women, responsible for the highest cancer-associated death rates. Triple negative breast cancers (TNBC) represent an important subtype that have an aggressive clinical phenotype, are associated with a higher likelihood of metastasis and are not responsive to current targeted therapies. miRNAs have emerged as an attractive candidate for molecular biomarkers and treatment targets in breast cancer, but their role in the progression of TNBC remains largely unexplored. This study has investigated miRNA expression profiles in 31 primary TNBC cases and in 13 lymph node metastases compared with 23 matched normal breast tissues to determine miRNAs associated with the initiation of this disease subtype and those associated with its metastasis. 71 miRNAs were differentially expressed in TNBC, the majority of which have previously been associated with breast cancer, including members of the miR-200 family and the miR-17-92 oncogenic cluster, suggesting that miRNAs involved in the initiation of TNBC are not subtype specific. However, the repertoire of miRNAs expressed in lymph node negative and lymph node positive TNBCs were largely distinct from one another. In particular, miRNA profiles associated with lymph node negative disease tended to be up-regulated, while those associated with lymph node positive disease were down-regulated and largely overlapped with the profiles of their matched lymph node metastases. miRNA expression profiles were examined in 31 primary TNBC cases and in 13 lymph node metastases compared with 23 matched normal breast tissues

Project description:Background: More than 90% mortality of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients are attributed to cancer metastasis with organotropism. Lung is the frequent site of TNBC metastasis. However, the precise mechanism of lung-specific metastasis of TNBC, particularly the driving factors, is not well understood. Methods: RNA sequencing was performed to identify patterns of gene expression associated with lung metastatic behavior using 4T1-LM3, 231-LM3 and their parental cells (4T1-P, 231-P). Expressions of RGCC, encoding the completion 32 protein response protein, were detected in TNBC cells and tissues by qRT-PCR, western blotting and IHC. Kinase activity assay were performed to evaluated PLK1 kinase activity and the amount of phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase α2 (AMPKα2). RGCC-mediated metabolism was determined by UHPLC system. Oxidative phosphorylation was evaluated by JC-1 staining and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) assay. Fatty acid oxidation assay, NADPH and ROS was applied to measure the status of RGCC-mediated fatty acid oxidation. The chemical sensitivity of cells was evaluated by CCK8 assay. Results: RGCC is aberrantly upregulated in pulmonary metastatic cells. High level of RGCC is significantly related with lung metastasis rather than other organ metastases. RGCC can effectively promote the kinase activity of PLK1, and activated PLK1 phosphorylates AMPKα2 to facilitate TNBC lung metastasis. Mechanistically, Survival and colonization of TNBC cells in the lungs by upregulating oxidative phosphorylation of mitochondria to obtain more energy and promoting fatty acid oxidation to produce abundant NADPH and sustains redox homeostasis, thus prevents excessive accumulation of potentially detrimental ROS in metastatic tumor cells, ultimately establishing metastases. Importantly, targeting RGCC in combination with paclitaxel/carboplatin effectively suppresses pulmonary metastases of TNBC in a mouse model. Conclusions: The enhanced RGCC is closely associated with lung-specific metastasis of TNBC. RGCC leads to activation of AMPKα2 and downstream signaling through RGCC-driven PLK1 activity to facilitate TNBC lung metastasis, which may determine a potential value of RGCC-driven OXPHOS and fatty acid oxidation as an important therapeutic target.

Project description:To elucidate the effect of the polyphenols contained in alcoholic beverages on the metabolic stress induced by ethanol consumption, four groups of mice were fed for five weeks on Lieber's diet with or without ethanol, with ethanol plus ellagic acid, and with ethanol plus trans-resveratrol. Alcoholic fatty liver was observed in the group fed the ethanol diet but not in those fed the ethanol plus polyphenol diets. Liver transcriptome analysis revealed that the addition of the polyphenols suppressed the expression of the genes related to cell stress that were up-regulated by ethanol alone. Conversely, the polyphenols up-regulated the genes involved in bile acid synthesis, unsaturated fatty acid elongation, and tetrahydrofolate synthesis that were down-regulated by ethanol alone. Because parts of these genes were known to be regulated by the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), we performed the same experiment in the CAR-deficient mice. As a result, fatty liver was observed not only in the ethanol group but also with the ethanol plus polyphenol groups. In addition, there was no segregation of the gene expression profiles among these groups. These results provide a molecular basis for the prevention of alcohol-induced stress by the polyphenols in alcoholic beverages. Five-week-old C3H/HeN female mice (CLEA, Japan) were acclimated to the maintenance condition (25°C, 8:00-20:00 day / 20:00-8:00 night cycle and 35~40 % humidity), fed a CE-2 diet (CLEA, Japan), and given water ad libitum for one week. Each group of mice (n=4 for wild type mice analysis and n=3 for CAR decficient mice analysis) was fed Lieber's isocaloric diet (Oriental yeast, Japan) containing water, containing ethanol, containing ethanol and ellagic acid (Fluka Biochemika, Switzerland), or containing ethanol and trans-resveratrol (Sigma, USA) (Supplementary Table 1) for one week at 10:00 ad libitum. Then, the mice were fed each diet at 12 g / day for four weeks (Supplementary Fig. 1A). The approximate intake of each polyphenol was 50 mg / kg body weight / day. At 10:00 of the final day of the experimental period, the animals were anesthetized by diethyl ether, sacrificed by cervial fracture, and the heart blood, and the liver were collected.

Project description:Background: The most aggressive subtype of breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), has a worse prognosis and a higher probability of relapse since there is a narrow range of treatment options. Identifying and testing potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of TNBC is of high priority. Methods: Using a transcriptional signature of triple-negative breast cancer collected from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), CMap was utilized to reposition compounds for the treatment of TNBC. CCK8 and colony formation experiments were performed to detect the effect of the candidate drug on the proliferation of TNBC cells, while flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis. Meanwhile, transwell assay was implemented to detect cell metastasis change caused by the candidate drug. Moreover, the proteomic approach was presently ongoing to evaluate the underlying mechanism of the candidate drug in TNBC. Furthermore, drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) coupled with LC-MS/MS was carried out to explore the potential drug target candidate in TNBC cells. Results: We found that the most widely used medication, eugenol, reduced the growth and metastasis of TNBC cells. According to the underlying mechanism revealed by proteomics, eugenol could inhibit TNBC cell proliferation via the NOD1-NF-κB signaling pathway. DARTS experiment further revealed that eugenol may bind to NF-κB in TNBC cells. Concludes: Our findings pointed out that eugenol was a potential candidate drug for the treatment of TNBC.

Project description:Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) has a poor prognosis and adverse clinical outcomes among all breast cancer subtypes as there is no available targeted therapy. Overexpression of Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) has been shown to correlate with TNBC's poor prognosis, but the contribution of EZH2 catalytic (H3K27me3) versus non-catalytic EZH2 (NC-EZH2) function in TNBC progression remains elusive. We reveal that selective hyper-activation of functional EZH2 (H3K27me3) over NC-EZH2 alters TNBC metastatic landscape and fosters its peritoneal metastasis, particularly splenic. Instead of H3K27me3-mediated repression of gene expression; here, it promotes KRT14 transcription by attenuating binding of repressor Sp1 to its promoter. Further, KRT14 loss significantly reduces TNBC migration, invasion, and peritoneal metastasis. Consistently, human TNBC metastasis displays positive correlation between H3K27me3 and KRT14 levels. Finally, EZH2 knockdown or H3K27me3 inhibition by EPZ6438 reduces TNBC peritoneal metastasis. Altogether, our preclinical findings suggest a rationale for targeting TNBC with EZH2 inhibitors.

Project description:Efforts to improve the clinical outcome of highly aggressive triplenegative breast cancer (TNBC) have been hindered by the lack of effective targeted therapies. Hence, it is important to identify the specific gene targets/pathways driving the invasive phenotype to develop more effective therapeutics. Here we show that UBASH3B (ubiquitin associated and SH3 domain containing B), a protein tyrosine phosphatase, is overexpressed in TNBC, where it supports malignant growth, invasion and metastasis in large through modulating EGFR. We also show that UBASH3B is a functional target of anti-invasive miR-200a that is downregulated in TNBC. Importantly, the oncogenic potential of UBASH3B is dependent on its tyrosine phosphatase activity, which targets CBL ubiquitin ligase for dephosphorylation and inactivation, leading to EGFR upregulation. Thus, UBASH3B may function as a crucial node in bridging multiple invasion-promoting pathways, thus providing a potential new therapeutic target for TNBC.

Project description:Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer characterized by the absence of estrogen receptor alpha, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). These receptors are well characterized and often serve as targets in breast cancer treatment. As a result, TNBCs are difficult to treat and have a high propensity to metastasize to distant organs. For these reasons, TNBCs are responsible for over 50% of all breast cancer mortalities while only accounting for 15% - 20% of breast cancer cases. However, estrogen receptor beta 1 (ERβ1) has emerged as a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of TNBCs. Using an in vivo xenograft preclinical mouse model with human TNBC, we found that expression of ERβ1 significantly reduced both primary tumor growth and metastasis in the animals. Moreover, TNBCs with elevated levels of ERβ1 showed reduction in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and breast cancer stem cell (BCSC) markers, and increases in the expression of genes associated with inhibition of cancer cell invasiveness and metastasis, suggesting possible mechanisms underlying the antitumor activity of ERβ1. Treatment with ERβ1 agonist ligand often enhanced the suppressive activity of ERβ1, suggesting their potential utility in improving TNBC treatment. The findings enable understanding of the mechanisms by which ERβ impedes TNBC growth, invasiveness and metastasis and consideration of ways by which treatments involving ERβ might improve TNBC patient outcome.

Project description:Lacking effective targeted therapies, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBCs) is highly aggressive, metastatic, and clinically challenging breast cancer subtype with worst prognosis. Despite survival dependency on the proteasome pathway genes, the FDA-approved proteasome inhibitors induced minimal clinical response in TNBC patients due to weaker proteasome inhibition. Here, we show that a novel proteasome inhibitor Marizomib (Mzb), inhibited multiple proteasome catalytic activities and induced better anti-tumor response in TNBC cell line and patient-derived xenografts alone and in combination with a standard-of-care chemotherapy, doxorubicin. Mechanistically, Mzb inhibits oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) via PGC-1α suppression in conjunction with proteasome inhibition in TNBC cells. Development of metastatic disease, especially brain metastasis, remains a reason for a greater mortality rate amongst TNBC patients. Mzb reduces lung and brain metastasis in vivo by reducing circulating tumor cells and the expression of multiple epithelial-to-mesenchymal genes. We also demonstrate that Mzb-induced OXPHOS inhibition upregulates glycolysis to fulfill the metabolic demand of TNBC cells and hence, combined inhibition of glycolysis with Mzb leads to a synergistic anti-cancer activity in vivo. Collectively, our data provide a strong rationale for the clinical evaluation of Mzb in primary and metastatic TNBC patients.
