Project description:Lacking effective targeted therapies, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBCs) is highly aggressive, metastatic, and clinically challenging breast cancer subtype with worst prognosis. Despite survival dependency on the proteasome pathway genes, the FDA-approved proteasome inhibitors induced minimal clinical response in TNBC patients due to weaker proteasome inhibition. Here, we show that a novel proteasome inhibitor Marizomib (Mzb), inhibited multiple proteasome catalytic activities and induced better anti-tumor response in TNBC cell line and patient-derived xenografts alone and in combination with a standard-of-care chemotherapy, doxorubicin. Mechanistically, Mzb inhibits oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) via PGC-1α suppression in conjunction with proteasome inhibition in TNBC cells. Development of metastatic disease, especially brain metastasis, remains a reason for a greater mortality rate amongst TNBC patients. Mzb reduces lung and brain metastasis in vivo by reducing circulating tumor cells and the expression of multiple epithelial-to-mesenchymal genes. We also demonstrate that Mzb-induced OXPHOS inhibition upregulates glycolysis to fulfill the metabolic demand of TNBC cells and hence, combined inhibition of glycolysis with Mzb leads to a synergistic anti-cancer activity in vivo. Collectively, our data provide a strong rationale for the clinical evaluation of Mzb in primary and metastatic TNBC patients.

Project description:The use of Affymetrix U133 2.0 Plus chips on FFPE samples when coupled with a qPCR-based sample pre-assessment step, yielded satisfactory results from the point of view of biological reliability. When compared with the Illumina DASL WG platform, specifically designed for degraded RNA, the data generated with the Affymetrix platform showed a wider interquartile range (1.32 vs 0.57, p<2.2x10-16) suggesting a superior discriminatory power within samples as indicated by the good agreement with the immunohistiochemically derived ER status. FFPE primary breast cancer samples profiled using Illumina DASL WG platform after RNA amplification with the Nugen WT-Ovation FFPE System The following criteria were considered for a direct comparison of 12 GEPs obtained from Affymetrix and DASL platforms: gene variability as defined by IQR, ESR1 expression in ER status subgroups defined by IHC, distribution of fold changes for predefined ER related genes when comparing ER positive and negative samples.

Project description:NAD+ levels decline with age and in certain disease conditions. NAD+ precursors have been shown to stimulate NAD+ biosynthesis and ameliorate various age-associated diseases in mouse models. However, NAD+ metabolism is complicated in cancer and its role in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains elusive. Here, we show that NAD+ supplement suppresses tumor metastasis in a TNBC orthotopic patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model. Sirtuin1 lysine deacetylase (SIRT1) is required for the effects since SIRT1 knockdown blocks NAD+-suppressed tumor metastasis. Overexpression of SIRT1 effectively impairs the metastatic potential of TNBC. Importantly, the interaction between SIRT1 and p66Shc causes the deacetylation and functional inactivation of p66Shc, which inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Overall, we demonstrate that NAD+ supplementation executes its anti-tumor function via activating the SIRT1-p66Shc axis, which highlights the preventive and therapeutic potential of SIRT1 activators as effective interventions for TNBC.

Project description:Brain metastasis is a dismal complication of cancer that hinges on the initial survival and outgrowth of disseminated cancer cells. To better understand these crucial early stages of brain metastatic colonization, we investigated two prevalent sources of cerebral relapse in the clinic, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and HER2+ breast cancer (HER2BC). We elucidated distinctive early tumor architectures, physical and functional stromal interfaces, and autocrine growth programs employed by these two tumor types to colonize the brain. TNBC cells form extensive perivascular sheath colonies with diffusive contact with astrocytes and microglia. In striking contrast, heightened autonomous deposition of several extracellular matrix components prompts HER2BC cells to colonize the brain as compact, spheroidal colonies, segregating stromal cells to the periphery of the colony. Single-cell dissection of the spatially resolved tumor microenvironment (TME) reveals that brain metastases activate – to different degrees – the canonical stages of the disease-associated microglia (DAM) response previously defined in Alzheimer’s disease. Differential engagement of paracrine tumor-DAM signaling through the receptor AXL suggests specific pro-metastatic functions of the tumor architecture in both TNBC perivascular and HER2BC spheroidal colonies. Collectively, our findings illuminate the distinct stereospatial features of two different yet highly efficient modes of brain colonization, and the relevance of these features in future efforts to leverage the TME to treat brain metastasis.

Project description:Recently it was shown that gene expression signatures generated from DNA microarray analyses have promise as biomarkers of clinical outcome and that the molecular characteristics of tumors could be elucidated. Through this study, we have determined a high-risk signature for recurrence as a prognostic biomarker using formalin-fixed HNSCC tumors and tested the results to an independent data set obtained from fresh frozen tumors as a comparison. Also, we have shown the genes that are involved in epithelial to mesenchymal transition and nuclear factor-ĸB signaling deregulation are the most prominent molecular characteristics of the high-risk tumors. Forty samples including 34 formalin-fixed tissues and 6 matched frozen tissues from 29 HNSCC patients were analyzed for gene expression. The formalin-fixed tumors were classified based on their gene expression by intrinsic analysis and the intrinsic gene list was tested on the classification of previously published 60 frozen HNSCC tumors which highly correlated. Based on the molecular classification, a 75-gene list that is predictive of high-risk for recurrence was determined by training on the formalin-fixed tumor set and tested on the independent frozen tumor set. The difference in recurrence-free survival (RFS) between the high-risk vs. low-risk groups in the training and test sets were statistically significant (Log-rank test, p=0.002 and p=0.03, respectively). Also, the gene expression data was interrogated using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis to determine functional significance. The most significant sets of genes that are enriched in the high-risk tumors were genes involving epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), NF-ĸB activation and cell adhesion. In conclusion, global gene expression analysis is feasible using formalin-fixed tissue, and the data from different sample preparations and array platforms can be reliably combined for analyses. The 75-gene list can be utilized as a prognostic biomarker of recurrence and the molecular characteristics of EMT and NF-ĸB activation can be targeted as the novel therapy in the identified high-risk patients.
