Project description:Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is an aggressive form of BC poorly defined at the molecular level. We compared the molecular portraits of 63 IBC and 134 non-IBC (nIBC) clinical samples. Genomic imbalances of 49 IBCs and 124 nIBCs were determined using high-resolution array-comparative genomic hybridization, and mRNA expression profiles of 197 samples using whole-genome microarrays. Genomic profiles of IBCs were as heterogeneous as those of nIBCs, and globally relatively close. However, IBCs showed more frequent “complex” patterns and a higher percentage of genes with CNAs per sample. The number of altered regions was similar in both types, although some regions were altered more frequently and/or with higher amplitude in IBCs. Many genes were similarly altered in both types; however, more genes displayed recurrent amplifications in IBCs. Pre-treatment tumor tissues were collected from 197 patients with invasive adenocarcinomas. Patients underwent surgical biopsies or initial surgery at the Institut Paoli-Calmettes (IPC, Marseille, France) between 1987 and 2007. Each patient gave written informed consent and the study was approved by the IPC “Comité d’Orientation Stratégique”. Tumor samples were macrodissected and frozen in liquid nitrogen within 30 minutes of removal. Before RNA extraction, tumor sections were reviewed by two pathologists and contained more than 60% of tumor cells. Gene expression data of the 197 BCs were quantified using whole-genome DNA microarrays (HG-U133 Plus 2.0, Affymetrix).

Project description:Host responses to intracellular UPEC communities; We used laser capture microdissection and microarrays to identify urothelial transcripts differentially expressed in response to proximity to intracellular UPEC. Experiment Overall Design: Transcription within four distinct populations of urothelial cells was profiled in biological duplicate: (i) uninfected, (ii) mock-infected (sterile 1x PBS), (iii) IBC-distal (cells residing >10 cell diameters from IBCs in the section plane), and (iv) IBC-proximal (cells residing <10 cell diameters from IBCs in the section plane).

Project description:Background: Ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS) is a pre-invasive form of invasive breast cancer (IBC). Due to improved breast cancer screening, it now accounts for ~25% of all breast cancers. While the treatment success rates are over 90%, this comes at the cost of considerable morbidity, considering that the majority of DCIS never become invasive and our understanding of the molecular changes occurring in DCIS that predispose to invasive disease is limited. The aim of this study is to characterize molecular changes that occur in DCIS, with the goal of improving DCIS risk stratification. Methods: We identified and obtained a total of 197 breast tissue samples from 5 institutions (93 DCIS progressors, 93 DCIS non-progressors, and 11 adjacent normal breast tissues) that had at least 10-year follow-up. We isolated DNA and RNA from archival tissue blocks and characterized genome-wide mRNA expression, DNA methylation, DNA copy number variation, and RNA splicing variation. Results: We obtained all four genomic data sets in 122 of the 197 samples. Our intrinsic expression subtype-stratified analyses identified multiple molecular differences both between DCIS subtypes and between DCIS and IBC. While there was heterogeneity in molecular signatures and outcomes within intrinsic subtypes, several gene sets that differed significantly between progressing and non-progressing DCIS were identified by Gene Set Enrichment Analysis. Conclusions: DCIS is a molecularly highly heterogenous disease with variable outcomes, and the molecular events determining DCIS disease progression remain poorly defined. Our genome-wide multi-omic survey documents DCIS-associated alterations and reveals molecular heterogeneity within the intrinsic DCIS subtypes. Further studies investigating intrinsic subtype-stratified characteristics and molecular signatures are needed to determine if these may be exploitable for risk assessment and mitigation of DCIS progression. The highly significant associations of specific gene sets with IBC progression revealed by our Gene Set Enrichment Analysis may lend themselves to the development of a prognostic molecular score, to be validated on independent DCIS cohorts.

Project description:15-25% of breast cancers (BC) show ERBB2-amplification and overexpression of the encoded ERBB2 tyrosine kinase receptor. They are associated with a poor prognosis but can benefit from targeted therapy. A better knowledge of these BCs may help understand their behavior and design new therapeutic strategies. In this study, we defined the high resolution genome and gene expression profiles of 54 ERBB2-amplified BCs using 244K oligonucleotide array-comparative genomic hybridization and whole-genome DNA microarrays. We first identified the ERBB2-C17orf37-GRB7 genomic segment as the minimal common amplicon, and CRKRS and IKZF3 as the most frequent centromeric and telomeric amplicon borders, respectively. Second, we identified 17 genome regions affected by copy number aberration (CNA). The expression of 37 genes of these regions was deregulated. Third, two types of heterogeneity were observed in ERBB2-amplified BCs. The genomic profiles of estrogen receptor-postive (ER+) and negative (ER-) ERBB2-amplified BCs were different. The WNT/Ã?-catenin signaling pathway was involved in ER- ERBB2-amplified BCs, and PVT1 and TRPS1 were candidate oncogenes associated with ER+ ERBB2-amplified BCs. The size of the ERBB2-amplicon was different in inflammatory (IBC) and non inflammatory BCs. ERBB2-amplified IBCs were characterized by the downregulated and upregulated mRNA expression of ten and two genes in proportion to CNA, respectively. We have shown that ERBB2 BCs are heterogeneous and identified genomic features that may be useful in the design of therapeutical strategies Tumor tissues were collected from 340 patients with invasive adenocarcinoma who underwent initial surgery at the Institut Paoli-Calmettes (Marseilles, France) between 1987 and 2007 (from a cohort of 2,175 patients with frozen tumor sample) and from a series of 91 Tunisian T4d tumors (TNM, UICC) treated between 1994 and 1998 at the Salah Azaiz Institute (Tunis, Tunisia). Each patient gave informed consent and the study was approved by our institutional review board. Samples were macrodissected and frozen in liquid nitrogen within 30 minutes of removal. Genomic imbalances were determined by aCGH using 244K CGH oligonucleotide microarrays (Hu-244A, Agilent Technologies). Gene expression data of 51 of the 54 BCs and 4 normal breast (NB) samples (NB1, NB2, NB3 and NB4, representing samples from 4 women and 3 commercial pools of respectively 1, 2 and 4 normal breast RNA, Clontech, Palo Alto, CA) were quantified by using whole-genome DNA microarrays (HG-U133 plus 2.0, Affymetrix).

Project description:Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a unique clinical entity characterized by rapid onset of erythema and swelling of the breast often without an obvious breast mass. Many studies have examined and compared gene expression between IBC and non-IBC (nIBC), repeatedly finding clusters associated with receptor subtype, but no consistent gene signature associated with IBC has been validated. Here we examined microdissected IBC tumor cells compared to microdissected nIBC tumor cells matched based on estrogen and HER-2/neu receptor status. Genomic profiling of 20 inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), 20 non-IBC and 5 normal was studied.

Project description:Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most aggressive type of advanced breast cancer and is associated with a poor prognosis. We have developed a new model of IBC derivated from the pleural effusion of a 49-year-old woman with metastatic secondary IBC. FC-IBC02 tumor cells were isolated from the pleural effusion and cultured under non-adherent conditions, resulting in the formation of spheroids or mammospheres. FC-IBC02 are triple negative (estrogen receptor negative, progesterone receptor negative and ErbB2 negative) and strongly positive for E-cadherin, beta-catenin and vimentin. FC-IBC02 cells developed breast tumors when they were injected into the mammary fat pad of SCID mice and characteristic tumor emboli were detected. Breast tumor xenografts were poorly differentiated triple negative carcinomas and all injected mice developed metastasis in the lungs and lymph nodes. These IBC tumor cells showed genomic alterations in all chromosomes, with the gains/amplifications more common than the deletions/losses. Duplicated regions were on 1q, 2p, 3q, 8q and 18p and chromosomes 7 and 9. The 8q chromosome arm where the MYC oncogene resides was amplified up to seven fold. Chromothripsis (local chromosome shattering) was observed on chromosome 11q and losses were found on 8p, 11q, 16q and 17p (location of TP53). FC-IBC-02 cells expressed the stem cell marker CD44, EpCAM and strongly expressed EGFR and ALK. In summary, this novel preclinical model demonstrated that IBC is a disease enriched for highly tumorigenic cells which harbor a stem cell phenotype. This IBC model is ideal for the study of the metastatic process and to evaluate targeting therapeutic modalities. Total RNA were isolated from IBC-02, IBC-02 in mammosphere growth, IBC3, SUM149, SUM190, MDA-MB231, and MDA-MB468 cell lines. Affymetrix Human U133 Plus 2.0 arrays were used for whole-genome gene expression assays. Duplicate samples were analyzed for each cell line.
