Project description:Thirteen HER2 positive breast cancer cell lines were screened with 22 commercially available compounds, mainly targeting proteins in the ErbB2 signaling pathway, and the molecular mechanisms related to treatment response were sought. To search for response predictors, genomic and transcriptomic profiling, PIK3CA mutations and PTEN status were associated to the drug responses and several genes involved in the response of the compounds were identified. RNA from thirteen HER2 positive breast cancer cell lines was isolated and hybridized on Affymetrix arrays.

Project description:HER2 (ERBB2) gene amplification and PIK3CA mutations often co-occur in breast cancer, and aberrant activation of the PI3K pathway has been implicated in resistance to HER2-directed therapies. We have created a mouse model of HER2-overexpressing (HER2+), PIK3CAH1047R-mutant breast cancer. Mice expressing both human HER2 and mutant PIK3CA in their mammary glands developed tumors with a significantly shorter latency compared to mice expressing either oncogene alone. By microarray analysis, HER2-driven tumors clustered with the luminal subtype, whereas HER2+PIK3CA and PIK3CA-driven tumors were associated with the claudin-low breast cancer subtype. In accordance, PIK3CA and HER2+PIK3CA tumors expressed elevated levels of EMT and stem cell markers, and cells from HER2+PIK3CA tumors more efficiently formed mammospheres, providing further evidence that activated PIK3CA may enrich for cancer stem cells. Finally, HER2+PIK3CA tumors are resistant to the HER2 antibody trastuzumab; resistance is partially reversed by the addition of a PI3K inhibitor. Taken together, these studies suggest that the co-expression of HER2 and PI3KH1047R in the mouse mammary gland accelerates the formation of aggressive, trastuzumab-resistant tumors. referenceXsample

Project description:Mutant PIK3CA and Her2 genes are oncogenic and their co-existence in breast cancer has been well identified. However, the gene targets and cell signalling pathway regulated by mutant PIK3CA, Her2 and both of PIK3CA and Her2 have not been well studied. We established stable cell models through transfecting mutant PIK3CA, Her2 and both mutant PIK3CA and Her2 into MCF10A cells and performed Affymetrix microarray to identify downstream target genes controlled by either mutant PIK3CA, Her2 or both PIK3CA and Her2.

Project description:HER2-targeted therapies including antibody drug conjugates have shown great efficacy in HER2-positive breast cancer. However, resistance to treatment in part due to pre-existing HER2 heterogeneity (HET) is a significant clinical challenge and requires the use of rationally-designed combination therapies. Here we describe transcriptomic profiling of 287 biopsies from 129 patients in a phase II neoadjuvant clinical trial using a combination of T-DM1 and pertuzumab for early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer, we investigated the mechanisms driving T-DM1 resistance. In pre-treatment tumors from patients without a complete response (pCR), distinct molecular features were identified: HER2 HET tumors retained PI3K pathway activation and a basal-like phenotype, while HER2 Non-HET tumors exhibited lower PI3K pathway enrichment. T-DM1 treatment universally reduced HER2 protein expression and copy number heterogeneity while increasing PI3K pathway enrichment and luminal identity in residual tumors. Importantly, HER2 HET tumors showed minimal transcriptomic response compared to HER2 Non-HET tumors, in line with the lesser clinical response. The response to T-DM1 was not associated with hotspot PIK3CA/ERBB2 mutations but rather correlated with immune infiltration. HER2 Non-HET tumors exhibited less effective immune surveillance at baseline but became immune activated with T-DM1 treatment, while HER2 HET tumors exhibited a more immune suppressed microenvironment upon treatment. Our study highlights the multifaceted nature of T-DM1 resistance driven by HER2 heterogeneity and provides essential evidence for optimizing therapeutic strategies for these patients.

Project description:Circulating tumour cells in women with advanced oestrogen-receptor (ER)-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer acquire a HER2-positive subpopulation after multiple courses of therapy. In contrast to HER2-amplified primary breast cancer, which is highly sensitive to HER2-targeted therapy, the clinical significance of acquired HER2 heterogeneity during the evolution of metastatic breast cancer is unknown. Here we analyse circulating tumour cells from 19 women with ER+/HER2- primary tumours, 84% of whom had acquired circulating tumour cells expressing HER2. Cultured circulating tumour cells maintain discrete HER2+ and HER2- subpopulations: HER2+ circulating tumour cells are more proliferative but not addicted to HER2, consistent with activation of multiple signalling pathways; HER2- circulating tumour cells show activation of Notch and DNA damage pathways, exhibiting resistance to cytotoxic chemotherapy, but sensitivity to Notch inhibition. HER2+ and HER2- circulating tumour cells interconvert spontaneously, with cells of one phenotype producing daughters of the opposite within four cell doublings. Although HER2+ and HER2- circulating tumour cells have comparable tumour initiating potential, differential proliferation favours the HER2+ state, while oxidative stress or cytotoxic chemotherapy enhances transition to the HER2- phenotype. Simultaneous treatment with paclitaxel and Notch inhibitors achieves sustained suppression of tumorigenesis in orthotopic circulating tumour cell-derived tumour models. Together, these results point to distinct yet interconverting phenotypes within patient-derived circulating tumour cells, contributing to progression of breast cancer and acquisition of drug resistance. Seventy-four single candidate CTCs from two representative ER+/HER2- patients (BRx-42 and BRx-82) and 14 triple negative patients were isolated via micromanipulation and subjected to single-cell RNA-sequencing. Thirteen candidate CTCs expressed PTPRC at a level higher than 10 reads-per-million, so were deemed potential White Blood Cells and therefore dropped from further consideration. Expression profiles of CTCs expressing ERBB2 at a level greater than 10 RPM were compared with those expressing ERBB2 at a level less than 10 RPM.

Project description:Forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1) has been shown to have critical functions in prostate and ER alpha positive breast cancer. As a pioneering transcriptional factor, FOXA1 regulates DNA accessibility for the androgen receptor in prostate and the estrogen receptor alpha in ER positive breast cancer, respectively. FOXA1 is also expressed in human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2/ErbB2) positive breast cancers, but its functions in HER2 positive breast cancer are unclear. The loss of FOXA1 results in a decrease in the viability of HER2 positive and HER2 amplified cell lines suggesting that FOXA1 may have an important role in HER2 positive breast cancers. In this report, we examined patient-derived single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics data and demonstrated that FOXA1 is co-expressed with ErbB2 in HER2 positive breast cancers. Knocking down FOXA1 expression led to the reduction of HER2 expression and signaling. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Sequencing (ChIP-seq) and Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) identified FOXA1 binding motifs in the ErbB2 promoter and regulatory element regions, which controlled ErbB2 gene expression. Interestingly, the knockdown of FOXA1 increased Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) signaling and inhibited luminal tumor differentiation. Furthermore, FOXA1 and TRPS1 regulated TEAD/YAP-TAZ activity. Taken together, our data demonstrate that FOXA1 is required for HER2 expression and luminal identity in HER2+ breast cancer.
