Project description:Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) play a critical role in modulating the immunoediting features in certain malignancies like triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Nevertheless, much is still unknown concerning the specific responses of tumors when challenged by lymphocyte infiltration. Based on this void, we conducted a immuno-phenotype comparison using mRNA sequencing between the TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231 and the luminal breast cancer cell line MCF7 after both were co-cultured with activated human T-cells. We found that, though the cytokine-induced immune signature of the two cell lines was similar, MDA-MD-231 cells were able to transcribe IDO1 at a significantly higher level than MCF7 cells. Though no differences occurred in upstream JAK/STAT1 signaling or IDO1 mRNA stability between the two cell lines, stimulation with IFNγ was able to differentially induce IDO protein expression and enzymatic activity in ER- cell lines compared to ER+ cell lines. Further experiments show that 5-aza-deoxycytidine treatment was able to reverse suppression of IDO1 expression in MCF7 cells, suggesting DNA methylation as a potential determinant in IDO1 induction. By analyzing TCGA breast cancer datasets, we discovered subtype-specific mRNA and promoter methylation differences in IDO1, with TNBC/basal subtypes exhibiting lower methylation/higher expression and ER+/luminal subtypes exhibiting higher methylation/lower expression. We confirmed this trend of IDO1 methylation by bisulfite pyrosequencing breast cancer cell lines and an independent cohort of primary breast tumors. Taken together, these findings suggest that IDO1 methylation regulates anti-immune responses in breast cancer subtypes and could be used as a predictive biomarker for IDO inhibitor-based immunotherapy. To determine the immunomodulatory effects of cytokines secreted by activated human T-cells on breast cancer cells, we performed RNAseq analysis in MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, after co-culturing them with normal PBMCs activated with anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies in a contact-independent manner. MDA-MB-231 or MCF7 cells were co-cultured with PBMCs alone or the conditioned-media or a combination of both for 24 hrs, and then total RNA was harvest for RNA-seq analysis.

Project description:Since bone metastatic breast cancer is an incurable disease, causing significant morbidity and mortality, understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms would be highly valuable. Here, we describe in vitro and in vivo evidence for the importance of serine biosynthesis in the metastasis of breast cancer to bone. We first characterized the bone metastatic propensity of the MDA-MB-231(SA) cell line variant as compared to the parental MDA-MB-231 cells by radiographic and histological observations in the inoculated mice. Genome-wide gene expression profiling of this isogenic cell line pair revealed that all the three genes involved in the L-serine biosynthesis pathway, phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1), and phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) were upregulated in the highly metastatic variant. This pathway is the primary endogenous source for L-serine in mammalian tissues. Consistently, we observed that the proliferation of MDA-MB-231(SA) cells in serine-free conditions was dependent on PSAT1 expression. In addition, we observed that L-serine is essential for the formation of bone resorbing human osteoclasts and may thus contribute to the vicious cycle of osteolytic bone metastasis. High expression of PHGDH and PSAT1 in primary breast cancer was significantly associated with decreased relapse-free and overall survival of patients and malignant phenotypic features of breast cancer. In conclusion, high expression of serine biosynthesis genes in metastatic breast cancer cells and the stimulating effect of L-serine on osteoclastogenesis and cancer cell proliferation indicate a functionally critical role for serine biosynthesis in bone metastatic breast cancer and thereby an opportunity for targeted therapeutic interventions. Parental MDA-MB-231 cells and MDA-MB-231(SA) cells were cultured in cell culture flasks. RNA was isolated in order to compare the gene expression profiles of these cell variants. Total of two samples. No replicates.

Project description:Estrogen receptor-α (ERα) is an important driver of breast cancer and is the target for hormonal therapies, anti-estrogens and drugs that limit estrogen biosynthesis (aromatase inhibitors). Mutations in the ESR1 gene identified in metastatic breast cancer provide a potential mechanism for acquired resistance to hormone therapies. We have used CRISPR-Cas9 mediated genome editing in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line, generating MCF-7-Y537S. MCF-7-Y537S cells encode a wild-type (tyrosine 537) and a mutant (serine 537) allele. Growth of the line is estrogen-independent and expression of ERα target genes is elevated in the absence of estrogen. ER ChIP-seq was carried out to map global ERα binding sites in the presence and absence of estrogen. RNA-seq following estrogen treatment was used for gene expression analysis. We show that expression of ER target genes and ER recruitment to ER binding regions is similar in MCF-7 and MCF-7-Y537S cells, except that ER recruitment to DNA and expression of ER target genes is frequently elevated in the absence of estrogen. Hormone depleted MCF7 Luc or Y537S cells were treated with 10nM E2 or ethanol, as vehicle control, for 8 hours, with 3 replicates (2 replicates for Y537S + E2). RNA-seq was carried out using Illumina Hiseq 2500.

Project description:Small membrane-derived extracellular vesicles have been proposed to participate in several cancer diseases, including breast cancer. We performed phosphoproteomic analysis of breast cancer-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) to provide insight into the molecular and cellular regulatory mechanisms important for breast cancer tumor progression and metastasis. We examined 3 cell lines as models for breast cancer: MCF10A (non-metastatic), MCF7 (estrogen and progesterone receptor positive, metastatic) and MDA-MB-231 (triple-negative, highly metastatic). To obtain a comprehensive overview of the sEV phosphoproteme derived from each cell line, an effective enrichment phosphopeptide techniques with IMAC and TiO2, followed by LC-MS/MS was achieved. In total, 2003 phosphopeptides on which 207, 854 and 1335 have been identified in MCF10A, MCF7 and MDA-MB-231cell lines, respectively. These phosphorylation sites were mapped to 855 distinct proteins, covering a wide range of functions. These proteins are associated with larger number of diseases and the most common diseases are related to cancer. Among the phosphoproteins identified, we validated four enzymes associated to cancer and present only in sEVs isolated from MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines: ATP citrate lyase (ACLY), phosphofructokinase-M (PFKM), Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) and Sirtuin-6 (SIRT6). With the exception of PFKM, the specific activity of these enzymes was significantly higher in MDA-MB-231 when compared with MCF10A-derived sEVs. This study demonstrates that sEVs contain functional metabolic enzymes that could be further explored for their potential in early BC diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Project description:The transcription regulator High Mobility Group AT-Hook 2 (HMGA2) plays an important role in many types of cancers, but the molecular mechanisms are not fully elucidated. We found by knock-down studies that HMGA2 controls expression of ATF4 and the enzymes in the serine synthesis pathway in triple negative breast cancer cells, and that HMGA2 expression correlates with poor clinical outcome in ER negative breast cancers. Furthermore, we found that the metabolism was dysregulated in cells with reduced HMGA2 expression, which affected their response to mitochondrial stressors and to changed carbon sources. Altogether, our findings demonstrate that HMGA2 is a regulator of serine biosynthesis and metabolism, consistent with the well-known role of HMGA2 as a regulator of proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and stemness.

Project description:Aerobic glycolysis is a hallmark of cancer glucose metabolism. Here we suggest that extracellular vesicles (EVs) originating from cancer cells can modulate glucose metabolism in the recipient cancer cells and induce cell proliferation and aggressive cancer phenotypes. Two breast cancer cell lines with different levels of glycolytic activity, MDA-MB-231 and MCF7, were selected and co-cultured, as the originating and recipient cells. The change in 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake of the recipient MCF7 cells was assessed after co-culture with the MDA-MB-231 cells. Proteomics analysis was performed to investigate the changes in the protein expression patterns in the recipient MCF7 cells. FDG uptake by the recipient MCF7 cells was sig-nificantly increased after co-culture with the MDA-MB-231 cells.
