Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype that lack targeted clinical therapies. In addition, TNBC is heterogeneous and was recently further sub-classified into seven TNBC subtypes that displayed unique gene expression patterns. To develop therapeutic treatment regimens, we established seven patient-derived xenograft models from TNBC tumors. These xenograft models not only retained the histology and clinical markers of the corresponding patient tumors, but also bearing the same mutations and deletions identified in the patient tumors. Moreover, as part of evaluation of these models, we performed microarrays on the xenograft tumors to assess their TNBC subtypes. After obtaining IRB-approved informed written patient consent, breast cancer tissues were obtained fresh from Stanford Hospital and transplanted into the number 2 mammary fat pads of female NOD SCID mice (NOD.CB17-Prkdcscid/J, Jackson Laboratory West, Sacramento, CA, USA). Mice were maintained in pathogen-free animal housing. The established xenografts were subsequently passaged from mouse to mouse. Xenograft tumor tissues were frozen on dry ice for RNA isolation and microarray analysis.

Project description:Translational breast cancer research is hampered by difficulties in obtaining and studying primary human breast tissue, and by the lack of in vivo preclinical models that reflect patient tumor biology accurately. In an effort to overcome these limitations, we propagated a cohort of human breast tumors grown in the mammary fat pad of SCID/Beige and NOD/SCID/IL2?-receptor null (NSG) two relatively new immunocompromised mouse models, under a series of transplant conditions. Both models yielded stably transplantable xenografts relatively high rates compared with previously available immunocompromised mice. Xenograft lines were established directly from breast cancer patient samples, without intervening culture in vitro, using the epithelium-free mammary fat pad as the transplantation site. Of the conditions tested, xenograft take rate was highest in the presence of a low-dose estradiol pellet. Overall, 35 stably transplantable xenograft lines representing 27 patients were established, using pre-treatment, mid-treatment, and/or post-treatment samples. Most patients yielding xenografts were “triple-negative” (ER-PR-HER2-) (n=21). However, we were able to establish lines from three ER-PR-HER2+ patients, one ER+PR-HER2-, one ER+PR+HER2- and one “triple-positive” (ER+PR+HER2+) patient. Serially passaged xenografts show biological consistency with the tumor of origin at the histopathology level, and remarkable stability across multiple transplant generations at the genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic levels. Of the 27 patients represented, xenografts derived from 13 patients showed metastasis to the mouse lung. These models thus serve as a renewable, quality-controlled tissue resource, and should prove useful for preclinical evaluation of experimental therapeutics. reference x sample

Project description:The study of breast cancer pathogenesis relies heavily on the use of established cell lines often derived from metastatic lesions, which while having significantly contributed to the knowledge of breast cancer biology may inadvertently limit the understanding of the mechanisms governing the metastatic process. Our goal was to establish primary cultures from dissociation of breast tumors in order to provide cellular models that may better recapitulate breast cancer pathogenesis and the metastatic process. These cellular models differ from recently developed patient derived xenograft models (PDX) in that they can be used for both in vitro and in vivo studies. Here we report the characterization of six cellular models derived from the dissociation of primary breast tumor specimens, referred to as “dissociated tumor (DT) cells”. Among the DT cells are those that are tumorigenic and metastatic in immunosuppressed mice, and a group of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). In vitro, DT cells were characterized by proliferation assays, colony formation assays, protein and gene expression profiling, including PAM50 predictor analysis. The latter showed DT cultures similar to their paired primary tumor and as belonging to the basal and Her2-enriched subtypes, offering novel cellular models of these ER-negative breast cancer subtypes. In vivo, three DT cultures are tumorigenic in NOD/SCID and NSG mice, and one of these is metastatic to lymph nodes and lung after orthotopic inoculation into the mammary fat pad, without excision of the primary tumor. DT cultures comprised of CAFs were isolated from luminal-A, Her2-enriched and basal primary tumors, providing subtype-specific components of the tumor microenvironment. Altogether, these DT cultures provide closer-to-primary cellular models for the study of breast cancer pathogenesis, metastasis and tumor microenvironment. reference x sample

Project description:Dysregulated choline metabolism is a well-known feature of breast cancer, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, the metabolomic and transcriptomic characteristics of a large panel of human breast cancer xenograft models were mapped, with focus on choline metabolism. Methods: Tumor specimens from 34 patient-derived xenograft models were collected and divided in two. One part was examined using high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) MR spectroscopy while another part was analysed using gene expression microarrays. Expression data of genes encoding proteins in the choline metabolism pathway were analysed and correlated to the levels of choline (Cho), phosphocholine (PCho) and glycerophosphocholine (GPC) using Pearson’s correlation analysis. For comparison purposes, metabolic and gene expression data were collected from human breast tumors belonging to corresponding molecular subgroups. Results: Most of the xenograft models were classified as basal-like (N=19) or luminal B (N=7). These two subgroups showed significantly different choline metabolic and gene expression profiles. The luminal B xenografts were characterized by a high PCho/GPC ratio while the basal-like xenografts were characterized by highly variable PCho/GPC ratio. Also, Cho, PCho and GPC levels were correlated to expression of several genes encoding proteins in the choline metabolism pathway, including choline kinase alpha (CHKA) and glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase domain containing 5 (GDPD5). These characteristics were similar to those found in human tumor samples. Discussion: The higher PCho/GPC ratio found in luminal B compared with most basal-like breast cancer xenograft models and human tissue samples do not correspond to results observed from in vitro studies. It is likely that microenvironmental factors play a role in the in vivo regulation of choline metabolism. Cho, PCho and GPC were correlated to different choline pathway-encoding genes in luminal B compared with basal-like xenografts, suggesting that regulation of choline metabolism may vary between different breast cancer subgroups. The concordance between the metabolic and gene expression profiles from xenograft models with breast cancer tissue samples from patients indicates that these xenografts are representative models of human breast cancer and represent relevant models to study tumor metabolism in vivo. Gene expression was measured in 30 human breast cancer xenografts, one sample from each model

Project description:Whole genome expression studies were performed on Xenograft panels with multiple passages from 3 different patient tumors. We assessed the global gene expression concordance from passages to passage and from passage to primary tumor when available and performed PAM50 subtype classification. These results were examined within the context of 40 PAM50 prototype experiments.

Project description:Whereas current tools for diagnosing cancer focus on identifying markers in limited types of the disease, such as the PAM50 kit known primarily for subtyping breast cancer, our research reveals that 27 different cancers have a unique glycosyltransferase (GT) fingerprint that can be detected using a single test, with 93.7% accuracy in external validation. Four models were built on the expression patterns of 71 GTs that are universally influential in inducing the formation of cancer cells and giving them the impetus to metastasize. The first differentiates cancer tissue from normal tissue, the second distinguishes cancer types, and the third and fourth models differentiate between subtypes of cancer, in particular breast cancer and glioma. Data from the Cancer Genome Atlas database were used for deriving the models, while independent publicly available databases and newly collected patient samples were used for validation. Running these models against external databases showed just how powerful they are, producing results that were highly comparable to those achieved in internal testing. Furthermore, the breast cancer classifier differentiated between breast cancer subtypes with an average of 81% accuracy in external testing, far surpassing the industry-standard PAM50’s accuracy ratio of 43%. Meanwhile, a separate prognostic model designed to predict the probability of survival among glioma patients achieved high accuracy by zooming in on four GT genes that are strongly related to prognosis. Taken together, the models demonstrate the revolutionary potential of focusing on GT genes to simplify cancer diagnostics.
