Project description:Despite the availability of effective drugs that target ERα-positive breast cancer, resistance commonly occurs, resulting in relapse, metastasis, and death. Tamoxifen remains the most commonly-prescribed endocrine therapy worldwide, and “tamoxifen resistance” has been extensively studied. However, little consideration has been given to the role of tamoxifen’s primary active metabolite, endoxifen, in driving resistance mechanisms. Endoxifen is the most abundant active tamoxifen metabolite detected in patients and functions differently from the parent drug and other primary metabolites, including 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen (4HT). Many studies have shown that patients who extensively metabolize tamoxifen into endoxifen have superior outcomes relative to patients who do not, further supporting a primary role for endoxifen in driving tamoxifen responses. Therefore, “tamoxifen resistance” may be actually better modeled by “endoxifen resistance” for such patients. Here, we report the development of a novel endoxifen-resistant breast cancer cell line and have extensively compared this model to tamoxifen (4HT) and fulvestrant (ICI) resistant models. Endoxifen-resistant cells were found to be phenotypically and molecularly distinct from 4HT-resistant cells and more closely resembled ICI-resistant cells overall. Specifically, endoxifen resistance was associated with ERα and PR loss, estrogen insensitivity, EMT-like features, a unique gene signature, and striking resistance to most FDA-approved second- and third-line therapies. Given these findings, and the importance of endoxifen in the efficacy of tamoxifen therapy, our data indicate that endoxifen-resistant models may be more clinically relevant than existing models and suggest that a better understanding of endoxifen resistance could substantially improve patient care.

Project description:Acquired resistance to endocrine therapy occurs with high frequency in patients with luminal breast cancer (LBC). We report here the establishment of four patient-derived xenograft models of LBC with acquired resistance in vivo to tamoxifen and estrogen deprivation. CEL files represent expresison data generated from 5 replicates (independent mice) of the following tumor models: HBCx22 (parental), HBCx22 TamR (tamoxifen-resistant), HBCx22 OvaR (ovariectomy-resistant), HBCx34 (parental), HBCx34 TamR (tamoxifen-resistant), HBCx34 OvaR (ovariectomy-resistant)

Project description:Tamoxifen is an effective anti-estrogen treatment for patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. However, about 30% of such patients receiving tamoxifen as an adjuvant therapy experience recurrence within 15 years, and most patients with advanced disease eventually develop resistance to tamoxifen. To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of tamoxifen resistance, we performed a systematic analysis of miRNA-mediated gene regulation in three clinically-relevant tamoxifen-resistant human breast cancer cell lines (TamRs) compared to their parental tamoxifen-sensitive MCF-7/S0.5 cell line. Alterations in the expression of 131 miRNAs in tamoxifen-resistant vs. parental cell lines were identified, 22 of which were common to all TamRs using both sequencing and LNA-based quantitative PCR technologies. ER+ and tamoxifen sensitive breast cancer cell line (MCF-7/S0.5) and its derived tamoxifen resistant clones: TAMR-1, TAMR-4 and TAMR-8 were miRNA expression profiled in triplicates of each using Exiqon's miRCURY LNA based microRNA Ready-to-use PCR, Human panel I+II, V2.R (Exiqon, product number 203608).

Project description:To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of tamoxifen resistance in breast cancer, we performed gene array analysis and identified 366 genes with altered expression in four unique tamoxifen resistant (TamR) cell lines vs the parental tamoxifen sensitive MCF7/S0.5 cell line. Most of these genes were funcationally linked to cell proliferation, death and control gene expression, and include FYN, PRKCA, ITPR1, DPYD, DACH1, LYN, GBP1 and PRLR. Treatment with FYN specific small interfering RNA or a SRC family kinase inhibitor reduced cell growth of TamR cell lines while exerting no significant effect on MCF7/S0.5 cells. Moreover, overexpression of FYN in parental tamoxifen-sensitive MCF7/S0.5 cells resulted in reduced sensitivity to tamoxifen, demonstrating growth and survival promoting function of FYN in MCF7 cells. FYN knockdown in TamR cells led to reduced phosphorylation of 14-3-3 and CDc 25A, suggesting that FYN, by activation of of important cell cycle-associated proteins, may overcome the anti-proliferative effects of tamoxifen. Evaluation of the subcellular localization of FYN in primary breast tumors from two cohorts of endocrine-treated ER+ breast cancer patients, one with advanced disease (N = 47) and the other with early disease (N = 76), showed that in the former, plasma membrane-associated FYN expression strongly correlated with longer progression-free survival (P<0.0002). Similarly, in early breast cancer patients, membrane-associated expression of FYN in the primary breast tumor was significantly associated with increased metastasis-free (P<0.04) and overall (P<0.004) survival independent of tumor size, grade or lymph node status. Our results indicate that FYN has an important role in tamoxifen resistance, and its subcellular localization in breast tumor cells may be an important novel biomarker of response to endocrine therapy in breast cancer.

Project description:Tamoxifen is the treatment of choice in estrogen receptor alpha breast cancer patients. However, ~50% of ERM-NM-1-positive tumors exhibit intrinsic or rapidly acquire resistance to endocrine treatment, requiring chemotherapy. M-NM-^Yt has been difficult to predict de novo resistance to endocrine therapy and/or assess the likelihood of early relapse, while no concrete mechanism regulating the acquisition and the maintenance of endocrine resistance has been identified. We have performed a whole transcriptome analysis of an ER-positive (T47D) and a triple-negative (MDA-MBA-231) breast cancer cell line exposed to tamoxifen for a short time frame (hours) in order to study resistance mechanisms that are initiated early after initiation of tamoxifen treatment. Cells after a 4h incubation with medium containing 10% charcoal stripped FBS were incubated with vehicle, E2 (10-6M) or tamoxifen (10-6M) in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% charcoal stripped FBS, for 3 hours. Total RNA was isolated using Nucleospin II columns (Macheray-Nagel, Dttren, Germany), according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. RNA was labeled and hybridized according to the Affymetrix protocol (Affymetrix Gene-Chip Expression Analysis Technical Manual), using the HGU133A plus 2 chip, analyzing a total of 54675 transcripts. Signals were detected by an Affymetrix microarray chip reader.

Project description:Purpose: Development of resistance to tamoxifen is an important clinical issue in the treatment of patients with breast cancer. Tamoxifen resistance may be the result of the acquisition of epigenetic regulation such as DNA methylation within breast cancer cells resulting in changed mRNA expression of genes being pivotal for estrogen dependent growth. Alternatively, tamoxifen resistance may be due to selection of preexisting resistant cells, which may exhibit cancer stem-like characteristics or a combination of the two mechanisms. Methods: To evaluate the contribution of these possible mechanisms to tamoxifen resistance, we applied modified DNA methylation-specific digital karyotyping (MMSDK) and digital gene expression (DGE) in combination with massively parallel sequencing to analyze a well-established tamoxifen resistant cell line model: MCF-7/S0.5 (tamoxifen sensitive parental cell line) and 4 high-dosage tamoxifen selected resistant offspring sublines (MCF-7/TAMR-1, MCF-7/TAMR-4, MCF-7/TAMR-7 and MCF-7/TAMR-8). MMSDK uses BssHII as mapping enzyme (DNA methylation sensitive enzyme). Both MMSDK and DGE use NlaIII and MmeI to produce 20-21 bp tag. The indexed single-end sequencing was performed by Illumina HiSeq 2000 in BGI-Shenzhen. A dynamic programming algorithm-FASTX-Toolkit implemented in Perl was used to trim the adaptor sequence. The trimmed tags were subjected to quality filtering, so that only tags with sequencing quality higher than 30 for more than 80% of the nucleotides were used for subsequent analysis. For MMSDK tag mapping, we generated a simulated reference library, i.e., BssHII reference library, by in silico enzyme digestion of the human genome (hg19, UCSC) regardless of the methylation state. This library was used as reference for subsequent mapping of the tags in the MMSDK analysis. In the DGE analysis, refMrna (hg19, UCSC) was used as reference for mapping cDNA tags. Subsequently, the BurrowsM-bM-^@M-^SWheeler Aligner (BWA) procedure for aligning the MMSDK and DGE tags to the simulated BssHII reference library and refMrna reference library, respectively, was applied. Results: MMSDK libraries using BssHII/NlaIII were generated from the parental tamoxifen sensitive subline MCF-7/S0.5 and the 4 TAMR cell lines: TAMR-1, TAMR-4, TAMR-7 and TAMR-8. The 5 indexed MMSDK libraries were sequenced in one lane and 1.38 Gb clean tag data for all 5 cell lines were obtained, with an average sequencing amount of ~270 Mb per library. On average, 59.5 % of the tags with mapping quality M-bM-^IM-% 20 were mapped back to the simulated BssHII/NlaIII reference library. DGE libraries were also generated from MCF-7/S0.5 and the 4 TAMR cell lines. The 5 indexed DGE libraries were sequenced in one lane and obtained 1.71 Gb clean tag data for all 5 cell lines with an average sequencing amount of ~340 Mb per library. On average, 40.8 % with mapping quality M-bM-^IM-% 20 were mapped back to the simulated NlaIII human transcriptome (refMrna reference library). Our present study demonstrates large differences in global gene expression and DNA methylation profiles between parental tamoxifen-sensitive cell line and 4 high-dosage tamoxifen treatment selected resistant sublines. The tamoxifen resistant cell lines exhibited globally higher methylation level than the parental cell line and an inverse relationship between gene expression and DNA methylation in the promoter regions were noticed. High expression of SOX2 and alterations of other SOX gene family members, E2F gene family members and RB-related pocket protein genes as well as highlighted stem cell pathways imply that cancer initiating cells/stem cells are involved in the resistance to tamoxifen. DNA methylation and mRNA expression profiles from tamoxifen sensitive parental cell line MCF-7/S0.5 and 4 high dosage of tamoxifen selected resistant offspring sublines (MCF-7/TAMR-1, MCF-7/TAMR-4, MCF-7/TAMR-7 and MCF-7/TAMR-8) were analyzed by MMSDK and DGE methods, respectively, in combination of massively parallel sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq 2000

Project description:Tamoxifen is the most widely used antiestrogen in patients with estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer . However, less than half of patients benefit from tamoxifen treatment and 30-50% acquire resistance and the disease progresses. Resistance to tamoxifen is a serious problem in breast cancer therapy and major efforts are underway to find out underlying mechanisms. To find out the differential expression levels of mRNAs in tamoxifen-sensitive T47D versus tamoxifen-resistant T47D (T47DR) human breast cancer cells, T47DR (tamoxifen-resistant) cell line was established from T47D cells after the following continuous exposure to 1 μmol/L 4-Hydroxytamoxifen (H7904, Sigma, USA) for more than 6 months.Thousands of significantly different mRNA expression levels were found and analysed. Our study provides a reference data for the study of tamoxifen resistance .
