VIVA1: A more Invasive Subclone of MDA-MB-134VI Invasive Lobular Carcinoma Cells With Increased Metastatic Potential in Xenograft Models

ABSTRACT: Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common type of breast cancer next to invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Few research tools exist to study ILC metastasis in vivo, with only one cell line reported to grow in xenograft models. We thus set out to isolate and characterize ILC cells with increased invasive properties and establish a xenograft model that spontaneously metastasized from the orthotopic site. MDA-MB-134VI ILC cells were placed in Matrigel transwells for 7-days. Migrated cells were isolated and expanded to create the VIVA1 cell line. VIVA1 cells were tested in vitro for ILC marker expression and relative proliferative and invasive ability compared to parental MDA-MB-134VI cells. An intraductally injected orthotopic xenograft model was used to assess primary and metastatic tumor growth in vivo. Similar to MDA-MB-134VI, VIVA1 cells retained expression of ER and lacked expression of E-cadherin, however showed increased invasion in vitro. Following intraductal injection, VIVA1 and MDA-MB-134VI cells had similar primary tumor growth similar survival kinetics. However, macrometastases were apparent in 6/10 animals at clinical endpoint in VIVA1 injected animals. RNA-seq analysis showed gene expression changes consistent with differences in cell migration and survival. Cells from the primary orthotopic tumor (VIVA-LIG43) were isolated and re-injected intraductally, which led to tumor growth in the mammary glands with a more rapid onset than the parental VIVA1 cells.

Project description:Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is a histological subtype of breast cancer that is frequently associated with favorable outcomes, as ~90% of ILC express the estrogen receptor (ER). However, recent retrospective analyses suggest that ILC patients receiving adjuvant endocrine therapy may not benefit from improved outcomes versus other breast cancer patients. Based on these observations, we characterized ER function and endocrine response in ILC models. The ER-positive ILC cell lines MDA MB 134VI (MM134) and SUM44PE were used to examine the ER-regulated transcriptome in vitro via gene expression microarray analyses and ER ChIP-Seq. In parallel, estrogen response was assessed in vivo in the patient-derived ILC xenograft HCI-013. Response to endocrine therapy was also examined in ILC cell lines. We identified 915 genes that were uniquely E2-regulated in ILC cell lines versus other breast cancer cell lines, and a subset of these genes were also regulated in vivo in HCI-013. We observed that MM134 were de novo tamoxifen resistant, and were induced to grow by 4-hydroxytamoxifen, as well as other anti-estrogens, as partial agonists. Growth was accompanied by agonist activity of tamoxifen on ER-mediated gene expression. Though tamoxifen induced cell growth, MM134 cells required FGFR1 signaling to maintain viability and were sensitive to combined endocrine therapy and FGFR1 inhibition. Our observation that ER drives a unique program of gene expression in ILC cells correlates with the ability of tamoxifen to induce growth in these cells. Targeting growth factors using FGFR1 inhibitors may block survival pathways required by ILC and reverse tamoxifen resistance. Cells were hormone deprived by replacing growth medium with IMEM+2% charcoal stripped serum for 3 days. Following deprivation, cells were treated for 3 or 24 hours with 1nM E2 or vehicle (0.01% EtOH) in biological quadruplicate. Following treatment, cells were lysed and RNA was harvested using the Illustra RNAspin Mini kit (GE Health). cRNA synthesis and labeling was performed using the Ambion MessageAmp Premier Kit (Life Technologies), and cRNA was hybridized to U133A 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). cRNA synthesis and labeling, hybridization, and scanning were performed by the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Biomarkers Facility.
