Project description:Systematically investigating the scores of genes mutated in cancer to discern the real drivers from the inconsequential bystanders is a prerequisite for Precision Medicine but remains challenging. Here, we use CRISPR/Cas9-mediated somatic gene editing in a breast cancer mouse model to assess the transforming potential of 215 recurrent ‘long-tail’ breast cancer genes. Several core and accessory components of the COMPASS-like histone methylase complex, namely KMT2C, KDM6A and ASXL2 cooperated with PIK3CAH1047R mutation to accelerate mammary tumorigenesis in mice and to transform human breast epithelial cells. Mechanistically, mutations of these ‘EpiDrivers’ converged on enhancing the lineage conversion of basal cells to luminal cells prior to tumorigenesis, as well as an aberrant alveolar differentiation program in both luminal and basal cells. Overall, our work suggests that lactation mimicry is associated with the earliest steps of breast cancer.

Project description:Recurrent mutations in histone modifying enzymes in multiple cancer types imply key roles in tumorigenesis. However, the functional relevance of these mutations remains unknown. Here we show that the JARID1B histone H3 lysine 4 demethylase is frequently amplified and overexpressed in luminal breast tumors and a somatic point mutation of JARID1B leads to the gain of luminal-specific gene expression programs. Downregulation of JARID1B in luminal breast cancer cells induces the expression of basal cell-specific genes and growth arrest, which is partially rescued by the inhibition of TGFBR thereby indicating a key role for TGFb signaling. Integrated genome-wide analysis of JARID1B chromatin binding, histone H3 lysine trimethyl (H3K4me3) and dimethyl (H3K4me2) patterns, and gene expression profiles in luminal and basal-like breast cancer cells suggest a key role for JARID1B in luminal cell-specific gene expression programs. A significant fraction of JARID1B binding-sites overlaps with CTCF in both luminal and basal-like breast cancer cells. CTCF also co-immunoprecipitates with JARID1B and it may influence its histone demethylase (HDM) activity as the H3K4me3/me2 ratio is lower at the CTCF-overlapping compared to JARID1B-unique sites. Additionally, a heterozygous JARID1B missense mutation (K1435R) in the HCC2157 basal-like breast cancer cell line is associated with unique JARID1B chromatin-binding and gene expression patterns implying gain of luminal features. In line with this, exogenous expression of this mutant in basal-like breast cancer cells leads to a gain of JARID1B binding at many luminal-specific genes. A PARADIGM score reflecting JARID1B activity in luminal breast cancer cells is associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with luminal breast tumors. Together, our data imply that JARID1B is a luminal lineage-driving oncogene and that its therapeutic targeting may represent a novel therapeutic strategy in treatment-resistant luminal breast tumors.

Project description:Mammary epithelium is hierarchically organized, with multipotent basal mammary stem cells (MaSCs) producing both luminal and basal cells during development or upon transplantation. Recent studies suggested that most breast cancers might originate from luminal cells, and oncogenic events, such as ectopic expression of PIK3CAH1047R, could induce multipotency in committed luminal cells. p53 is the most commonly mutated gene in human breast cancer; in particular, its inactivating mutations are found in most triple-negative breast cancers, raising a question as to whether p53-loss plays a key role in acquisition of MaSC-like properties by luminal cells. By in situ lineage tracing, we found that induced loss of p53 in Keratin 8 (K8)+ luminal cells led to their clonal expansion, in part due to increased proliferation, but did not directly affect their luminal identity. Expansion of luminal cells, in particular oestrogen receptor-positive luminal cells, was observed 3-4 weeks after induced p53-loss, which was accompanied by increased expression of cell cycle genes and downregulation of genes related to immune microenvironment, p53 downstream pathway and apoptosis control. All induced mice eventually developed mammary tumours with 9qA1 (Yap1) amplification and/or 6qA2 (Met) amplification. The resulting tumours exhibited a MaSC-like expression signature and most closely resembled Claudin-Low breast cancer. Overall, these data suggest that although p53 does not directly control the luminal fate, its loss facilitates acquisition of MaSC-like properties by luminal cells and predisposes them to development of mammary tumours with loss of luminal identity. Our data also suggest that Claudin-Low breast cancer can originate from luminal cells, possibly upon transition through a basal-like state.

Project description:BRCA1 germline mutation carriers are predisposed to breast cancers. Epigenomic regulations have been known to strongly interact with genetic variations and potentially mediate biochemical cascades involved in tumorigenesis. Due to the cell-type specificity of epigenomic features, profiling of individual cell types is critical for understanding the molecular events in various cellular compartments within complex breast tissue. Here we report cell-type specific profiling of genome-wide histone modifications, including H3K27ac and H3K4me3 in basal, luminal progenitor, mature luminal, and stromal cells, extracted from pre-cancer BRCA1 mutation carriers and non-carriers, using a low-input technology. We discover that basal and stromal cells present the most substantial epigenomic differences between mutation carriers and non-carriers while luminal progenitor and mature luminal cells are relatively unchanged with the mutation. Furthermore, the epigenomic changes in basal cells due to BRCA1 mutation appear to facilitate their transformation into luminal progenitor cells. Our findings shed light on the pre-cancer epigenomic dynamics due to BRCA1 mutation and how they may contribute to eventual development of basal-like breast cancer.
