Project description:The functional consequences of missense variants in disease genes are difficult to predict. We assessed if gene expression profiles could distinguish between BRCA1 or BRCA2 pathogenic truncating and missense mutation carriers and familial breast cancer cases whose disease was not attributable to BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations (BRCAX cases). 72 cell lines from affected women in high-risk breast-ovarian families were assayed after exposure to ionising irradiation, including 23 BRCA1 carriers, 22 BRCA2 carriers, and 27 BRCAX individuals. A subset of 10 BRCAX individuals carried rare BRCA1/2 sequence variants considered to be of low clinical significance (LCS). BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers had similar expression profiles, with some subclustering of missense mutation carriers. The majority of BRCAX individuals formed a distinct cluster, but BRCAX individuals with LCS variants had expression profiles similar to BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. Gaussian Process Classifier predicted BRCA1, BRCA2 and BRCAX status with a maximum of 62% accuracy, and prediction accuracy decreased with inclusion of BRCAX samples carrying an LCS variant, and inclusion of pathogenic missense carriers. Similarly, prediction of mutation status with gene lists derived using Support Vector Machines was good for BRCAX samples without an LCS variant (82-94%), poor for BRCAX with an LCS (40-50%), and improved for pathogenic BRCA1/2 mutation carriers when the gene list used for prediction was appropriate to mutation effect being tested (71-100%). This study indicates that mutation effect, and presence of rare variants possibly associated with a low risk of cancer, must be considered in the development of array-based assays of variant pathogenicity.

Project description:Pathogenic germline mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 are detected in less than one third of families with a strong history of breast cancer. It is therefore expected that mutations still remain undetected by currently used screening methods. In addition, a growing number of BRCA1/2 sequence variants of unclear pathogen significance are found in the families, constituting an increasing clinical challenge. New methods are therefore needed to improve the detection rate and aid the interpretation of the clinically uncertain variants. In this study we analyzed a series of 33 BRCA1, 22 BRCA2, and 128 sporadic tumors by RNA profiling to investigate the classification potential of RNA profiles to predict BRCA1/2 mutation status. We found that breast tumors from BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers display characteristic RNA expression patterns, allowing them to be distinguished from sporadic tumors. The majority of BRCA1 tumors were basal-like while BRCA2 tumors were mainly luminal B. Using RNA profiles, we were able to distinguish BRCA1 tumors from sporadic tumors among basal-like tumors with 83% accuracy and BRCA2 from sporadic tumors among luminal B tumors with 89% accuracy. Furthermore, subtype-specific BRCA1/2 gene signatures were successfully validated in two independent data sets with high accuracies. Although additional validation studies are required, indication of BRCA1/2 involvement (“BRCAness”) by RNA profiling could potentially be valuable as a tool for distinguishing pathogenic mutations from benign variants, for identification of undetected mutation carriers, and for selecting patients sensitive to new therapeutics such as PARP inhibitors. Gene expression profiling of 183 breast tumor samples. Breast tumors from hereditary breast cancer patients carrying a pathogenic BRCA1 (n=33) or BRCA2 (n=22) germ-line mutation were included in the study. Serving as a representative control group, primary breast tumor samples (n=128) were randomly selected. The study was conducted using Agilent-029949 Custom SurePrint G3 Human GE 8x60K Microarray platform. For cross-platform validation, a subset of the tumor samples (92 of the 183 samples) were analyzed by our in-house spotted microarray platform.

Project description:Inactivating germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations confer a defect in homologous recombination DNA repair which was found to leave traces in tumor DNA copy number aberration (CNA) profiles. In analogy to previously trained breast cancer CNA classifiers that predicted association with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutated cancer and benefit of high dose double strand break inducing chemotherapy, we trained BRCA1 and BRCA2 classifiers on CNA profiles of 50 BRCA1 mutated, 10 BRCA2 mutated and 13 non-familial ovarian cancers and investigated whether tumor type and mutation type independent classifiers could be trained. The cross validated area under the curve of the receiver/operator characteristic curve of ovarian cancer BRCA1 and BRCA2 classifiers were 0.67 (95% CI: 0.55-0.78) and 0.91 (95% CI: 0.79-1). These classifiers identified the majority of the samples with germline and somatic BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations and BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. Combining tumor type or mutated gene did not yield higher AUCs than single gene classifiers, although the ovarian BRCA1+BRCA2 classifier identified most BRCA1 and -2 mutated cases, including those in the TCGA dataset, and a combined breast and ovarian cancer BRCA1 classifier may improve response prediction to double strand break inducing chemotherapy.

Project description:We hypothesized that the transcriptome of primary cultures of morphologically normal ovarian surface epithelial cells could be altered by the presence of a heterozygous BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. We aimed to discover early events associated to ovarian carcinogenesis, which could represent putative targets for preventive strategies of this silent killer tumor. We identified the first molecular signature associated with French Canadian BRCA1 or BRCA2 founder mutations in morphologically normal ovarian epithelial cells. We discovered that wild-type and mutated BRCA2 allelic transcripts were expressed not only in morphologically normal but also in tumor cells from 8765delAG BRCA2 carriers. Further analysis of morphologically normal ovarian and tumor cells from C4446T BRCA1 carriers lead to the same observation. Our data support the idea that one single hit in BRCA1 or BRCA2 is sufficient to alter the transcriptome of phenotypically normal ovarian epithelial cell. The highest level of BRCA2 mutated allele transcript expression was measured in cells originating from the most aggressive ovarian tumor. The penetrance of the mutation and the aggressiveness of the related tumor could depend on a dosage effect of the mutated allele transcript. We studied the molecular profiles associated with 5 a priori classes of samples : 4 non-familial morphologically normal ovarian surface epithelium (NOSEs) : NM class, 2 BRCA1-mutated NOSEs : M1 class, 3 BRCA2-mutated NOSEs : M2 class, 3 BRCA1-mutated ovarian tumor cells (TOVs) : TM1 class and one BRCA2-mutated TOV :TM2 class. No technical replicates were included in this study. The following contrasts were computed : NM vs. M1, NM vs. M2, M1 vs. M2, M1 vs. TM1 and M (M1 union M2) vs. TM (TM1 union TM2).

Project description:Molecular Profiling of BRCA1-and BRCA2-associated Breast Cancers Identifies FGFR2 as a Gene More Highly Expressed in BRCA2-associated Tumors BRCA1- and BRCA2-associated tumors have many morphologic characteristics in common, but appear to have distinct molecular signatures. BRCA1-associated tumors are predominantly basal-like cancers, whereas BRCA2-associated tumors have a predominant luminal-like phenotype. These two molecular signatures reflect in part the two cell types, basal/myoepithelial and luminal, found in the terminal duct lobular unit of the breast. To elucidate novel genes involved in these two spectra of breast cancer tumorigenesis we performed global gene expression analysis on breast tumors from germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers. Breast tumor RNAs from 7 germline BRCA1 and 6 germline BRCA2 carriers were profiled using UHN human 19K cDNA microarrays. Supervised univariate analyses were conducted to identify genes differentially expressed between BRCA1 and BRCA2-associated tumors. Selected discriminatory genes were validated using real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in the tumor RNAs, and/or by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or by in situ hybridization (ISH) on tissue microarrays (TMAs) containing an independent set of 58 BRCA1 and 64 BRCA2-associated tumors. Genes more highly expressed in BRCA1-associated tumors included stathmin/oncoprotein 18, osteopontin, TGFß2 and Jagged 1 in addition to genes previously identified as characteristic of basal-like breast cancers. Genes more highly expressed in BRCA2-associated tumors had functions related to transcription, signal transduction (particularly MAPK signaling), cell proliferation, cell adhesion and extracellular matrix remodeling. BRCA2-associated cancers were characterized by the higher relative expression of amongst others, FGF1 and FGFR2. Tissue microarrays were used to validate the expression of FGFR2 protein by immunohistochemistry and Jagged 1 expression by in situ hybridization. BRCA2-associated cancers expressed higher levels of FGFR2 protein than BRCA1-associated cancers (p=0.004); whereas BRCA1-associated tumors exhibited elevated levels of Jagged1 mRNA compared to BRCA2-associated cancers (p=0.02). FGFR2 and FGF1 were more highly expressed in BRCA2-associated cancers compared with BRCA1-associated breast cancers, suggesting the existence of an autocrine or paracrine stimulatory loop. In addition to corroborating the basal-like signature of BRCA1-associated tumors, we identified osteopontin, stathmin/oncoprotein 18, TGFβ2, and Jagged 1 as being more highly expressed in BRCA1-associated tumors.

Project description:Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive cutaneous neuroendocrine cancer. Management of advanced MCC is mainly based on immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). The high failure rate (up to 75%) warrants investigation of new therapeutic targets. The recent identification of BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) mutations in some MCC raises the issue of the use of poly-(ADP-Ribose)-polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) in selected advanced cases. The main objective of our study is to determine the accurate frequency of BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants. We studied a novel series of 35 MCC and performed a meta-analysis of BRCA1/2 variants of published cases in the literature. In our series, we detected only one BRCA2 pathogenic variant (nonsense mutation; ENIGMA class 5) and one BRCA2 variant of unknown significance (VUS). The low frequency of BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants in our series of MCC (3%) was confirmed by the meta-analysis of BRCA1/2 variants of the literature. Among the 204 MCC studied for molecular alterations of BRCA1/2, only two BRCA1 pathogenic nonsense mutations were identified (1%), while the vast majority of BRCA1/2 variants were missense mutations classified as VUS. BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants are uncommon in MCC. However, in BRCA-mutated-MCC, PARPi might be a valuable therapeutic option requiring validation by clinical trials.

Project description:Approximately 5% of all breast cancers can be attributed to an inherited mutation in one of two cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2. We searched for genes that have the potential to distinguish healthy BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers from non-carriers based on differences in expression profiling. Using expression microarrays we compared gene expression of irradiated lymphocytes from BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers versus control non-carriers. We identified 137 probe sets in BRCA1 carriers and 1345 in BRCA2 carriers with differential gene expression. Gene Ontology analysis revealed that most of these genes relate to regulation pathways of DNA repair processes, cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. Real-time PCR was performed on the 36 genes which were most prominently differentially expressed in the microarray assay; 21 genes were shown to be significantly differentially expressed in BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers as compared to controls (p<0.05). Based on a validation study with 40 mutation carriers and 17 non-carriers, a multiplex model that included six or more coincidental genes of 18 selected genes was constructed in order to predict the risk of carrying a mutation. The results using this model showed sensitivity 95% and specificity 88%. In summary, our study provides insight into the biological effect of heterozygous mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in response to ionizing irradiation induced DNA damage. We also suggest a set of 18 genes that can be used as a prediction and screening tool for BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutational carriers by using easily obtained lymphocytes. Using expression microarrays we compared gene expression of irradiated lymphocytes from BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers versus control non-carriers Fresh blood samples were obtained from 9 BRCA1 and 8 BRCA2 mutation carriers and 9 mutation-negative women. Lymphocytes were collected from fresh blood samples, and RNA was extracted one hour after γ-irradiation

Project description:Use of DNA damaging agents and RNA pooling to assess expression profiles associated with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation status in familial breast cancer patients Background: A large number of rare sequence variants of unknown clinical significance have been identified in the breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2. Determining the functional effect of these variants as well as their role in breast cancer susceptibility can be challenging using current classification methods. Methodology/Principal Findings: To identify predictors of pathogenic mutation status in familial breast cancer patients, we explored the use of gene expression arrays to assess the effect of two DNA damaging agents (irradiation and mitomycin C) on cellular response in relation to BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation status. A range of regimes were used to treat 27 lymphoblastoid cell-lines (LCLs) derived from affected women in high-risk breast cancer families (nine BRCA1, nine BRCA2, and nine non-BRCA1/2 or BRCAX individuals) and nine LCLs from healthy individuals. Using an RNA pooling strategy, we found that treating LCLs with 1.2 μM mitomycin C and measuring the gene expression profiles 1 hour post-treatment had the greatest potential to discriminate BRCA1, BRCA2 and BRCAX mutation status. A classifier was built using the expression profile of nine QRT-PCR validated genes that were associated with BRCA1, BRCA2 and BRCAX status in RNA pools. These nine genes could distinguish BRCA1 from BRCA2 carriers with 83% accuracy in individual samples, but three-way analysis for BRCA1, BRCA2 and BRCAX had a maximum of 59% prediction accuracy. Conclusions/Significance: Our results suggest that, compared to BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers, non-BRCA1/2 (BRCAX) individuals are genetically heterogeneous. This study also demonstrates the effectiveness of RNA pools to compare the expression profiles of cell-lines from BRCA1, BRCA2 and BRCAX cases after treatment with irradiation and mitomycin C as a method to prioritize treatment regimes for detailed downstream expression analysis.

Project description:Early genetic changes during cancer initiation may provide targets for agents that delay, or even prevent, cancer. We hypothesized that cells bearing a single inherited âhitâ in a tumor suppressor gene express an altered mRNA repertoire that may identify targets for measures that could delay or even prevent progression to carcinoma. Here, we report on the transcriptomes of primary breast and ovarian epithelial cells cultured from BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation-carriers and controls. Our comparison analyses identified multiple changes in gene expression, in both tissues for both mutations that were independently validated by real-time RT-PCR analysis. Several of the differentially expressed genes had been previously proposed as cancer markers including, mammaglobin in breast cancer and serum amyloid in ovarian cancer. These findings demonstrate that heterozygosity for a mutant tumor suppressor gene can alter the expression profiles of phenotypically normal epithelial cells in a gene-specific manner, and that these detectable effects of âone-hitâ represent early molecular changes in tumorigenesis that may serve as novel biomarkers of cancer risk and as targets for chemoprevention Using affymetrix U133 plus2 chips, we compare the transcriptome of primary breast and ovarian epithelial cultures derived from subjects predisposed to cancer, bearing monoallelic BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, with corresponding cultures from control individuals that do not have mutations. For both breast and ovarian samples, epithelial cell cultures were generated from 6 subjects that have both BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations and 6 subjects that do not have mutations. Affymetrix U133 plus 2 chips were used to profile the transcriptome of BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutant and wild type. In total 36 chips were used to profile 18 samples from both breast and ovary, 6 mutant (BRCA1 and BRCA2) and 6 wild type.
