Project description:The primary goal of this study is to identify molecular subtypes of breast cancer through gene expression profiles of 327 breast cancer samples and determine molecular and clinical characteristics of different breast cancer subtypes. We studied expression signatures of different cellular functions (e.g., cell proliferation/cell cycle, wound response, tumor stromal response, vascular endothelial normalization, drug esponse genes, etc.) in different breast cancer molecular subtypes and investigated how microarray-based breast cancer molecular subtypes may be used to guide treatment. Gene expression profiles of 327 breast cancer samples were determined using total RNA and Affymetrix U133 plus 2.0 arrays.

Project description:Epithelial ovarian cancer is morphologically and clinically heterogeneous. Transcriptional profiling has revealed molecular subtypes (referred to as M-bM-^@M-^\C-signaturesM-bM-^@M-^]) that correlate to biological as well as clinical features. We aimed to determine gene expression differences between malignant, benign and borderline serous ovarian tumors, and to investigate similarities to the intrinsic molecular subtypes of breast cancer. Global gene expression profiling was performed using Illumina's HT12 Bead Arrays and applied to 59 fresh-frozen ovarian tumors. SAM analysis revealed enrichment of cell cycel processes among the malignant tumors, in line with malignant tumors being highly proliferative. The borderline tumors were split between the malignant and benign tumor clusters, indicating that borderline tumors have both malignant and benign features. Furthermore, nearest centroid classification was performed applying previously published gene profiles for the ovarian cancer C-signatures and the intrinsic breast cancer subtypes, respectively, and showed significant correlations between the malignant serous tumors and the highly aggressive C1, C2 and C4 ovarian cancer signatures, and the basal-like breast cancer subtype. The benign and borderline serous tumors together were significantly correlated to the normal-like breast cancer subtype and the ovarian cancer C3 signature. The borderline tumors, on the other hand, correlated significantly to the Luminal A breast cancer subtype. These findings remained when analyzed in a large, independent dataset. The data in this study link the transcriptional profiles of serous ovarian cancer to the intrinsic molecular subtypes of breast cancer, in line with the shared clinical and molecular features between high-grade serous ovarian cancer and basal-like breast cancer, including an aggressive phenotype, frequent TP53 mutations and a high degree of genomic instability, and suggest that biomarkers and targeted therapies may overlap between these subsets of ovarian and breast cancers. Finally, the link between benign and borderline ovarian cancer and luminal breast cancer may indicate endocrine responsiveness in a subset of ovarian cancers.

Project description:A major goal of cancer research is to match specific therapies to molecular targets in cancer. Genome-scale expression profiling has identified new subtypes of cancer based on consistent patterns of variation in gene expression, leading to improved prognostic predictions. However, how these new genetic subtypes of cancers should be treated is unknown. Here we show that a gene module map can guide the prospective identification of targeted therapies for genetic subtypes of cancer. By visualizing genome-scale gene expression in cancer as combinations of activated and deactivated functional modules, gene module maps can reveal specific functional pathways associated with each subtype that might be susceptible to targeted therapies. We show that in human breast cancers, activation of a poor-prognosis wound signature is strongly associated with induction of both a mitochondria gene module and a proteasome gene module. We found that 3-bromopyruvic acid, which inhibits glycolysis, selectively killed breast cells expressing the mitochondria and wound signatures. In addition, inhibition of proteasome activity by bortezomib, a drug approved for human use in multiple myeloma, abrogated wound signature expression and selectively killed breast cells expressing the wound signature. Thus, gene module maps may enable rapid translation of complex genomic signatures in human disease to targeted therapeutic strategies. Cell Line: Transduced construct Computed

Here we show that a gene module map can guide the prospective identification of targeted therapies for genetic subtypes of cancer. By visualizing genome-scale gene expression in cancer as combinations of activated and deactivated functional modules, gene module maps can reveal specific functional pathways associated with each subtype that might be susceptible to targeted therapies. We show that in human breast cancers, activation of a poor prognosis âwound signatureâ is strongly associated with induction of a proteasome gene module. Inhibition of proteasome activity by bortezomib, a drug approved for human use in multiple myeloma, abrogated wound signature expression and selectively killed breast cells expressing the wound signature. Thus, gene module maps may enable rapid translation of complex genomic signatures in human disease to targeted therapeutic strategies. 8 breast cancer cell lines and a breast epithelial cell line were cultured in standard serum conditions. The breast cancer cell lines were profiled after both standard culture conditions (10% fetal bovine serum; FBS) and serum starvation. The epithelial cells after serum starvation. All cells were also profiled after treatment with a proteosome inhibitor (bortezomib). Changes in gene expression and changes in the previously described wound-response signature were measured.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered the most aggressive type of breast cancer with limited options for therapy. TNBC is a heterogeneous disease and tumours has been classified into TNBC subtypes using gene expression profiling to distinguish basal-like1 (BL1), basal-like2 (BL2), immunomodulatory (IM), mesenchymal (M), mesenchymal/stem-like (MSL), luminal androgen receptor (LAR) and one non-classifiable group (called unstable, UNS). The aim of this study was to verify the clinical relevance of molecular subtyping of TNBCs by expression analysis to improve the individual indication of systemic therapy.

Project description:Breast cancer was one of the first cancer types where molecular subtyping led to explanation of interpersonal heterogeneity and resulted in improvement of treatment regimen. Several multigene classifiers have been developed and in particular those defining molecular signatures of early breast cancers possess significant prognostic information. Hence since 2014, molecular subtyping of primary breast cancers was implemented as a part of routine diagnostics with direct impact of therapy assignment. In this study, we evaluate direct and potential benefits of molecular subtyping in low-risk breast cancers as well as present the advantages of a robust molecular signature in regard to patient work-up among high-risk breast cancers.

Project description:PAM50 intrinsic subtype classification (Parker JS, Mullins M, Cheang MCU, et al: Supervised Risk Predictor of Breast Cancer Based on Intrinsic Subtypes. J Clin Oncol 27:1160-1167, 2009) was used for the Z1031 patient cohort. However, to account for potential technical biases such as differences in platforms and laboratory protocols between the Z1031 data set and the PAM50 training set2, we normalized the Z1301 data set before applying the PAM50 algorithm. This is a critical step that must be taken into consideration for appropriate subtype predictions as our group and others have previously shown3,4. To appropriately normalize the Z1301 microarray data, which is entirely composed of ER-positive tumors, we needed to estimate technical bias from a cohort with equivalent subtype representation as the PAM50 training set. A set including ER-negative, HER2-positive and true normal breast samples were profiled under the same platform, protocol and laboratory (i.e. WashU) as the Z1301 data set. A total of 40 prototypic samples of the various molecular subtypes were selected to match the distribution in the PAM50 training set. The mean expression of each PAM50 gene was calculated in this set of 40. These values obtained from the prototypical sample set were used for calibration purposes and were included as a new WashU_4X44K_Calibration column in the CalibrationParameter file, which has been already provided in the PAM50 algorithm2. This adjustment step assures that each sample is placed in the appropriate ‘prototypic space’ by subtracting the calibration value of each PAM50 gene from the expression value of the corresponding gene in each tested sample. Finally, single sample predictions were performed in every Z1301 sample using the WashU_4X44K_Calibration parameter. The complete data set for the 40 prototypic arrays is submitted under GSE26082. 40 experiments were used as prototypical cases for subtype calibration purposes.
