Project description:Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) comprises approximately ~10-20% of breast cancers. In general, multifocal/multicentric (MF/MC) breast cancer has been associated with an increased rate of regional lymph node metastases. Tumor heterogeneity between foci represents a largely unstudied source of genomic variation in those rare patients with MF/MC ILC.

Project description:Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) comprises approximately ~10-20% of breast cancers. In general, multifocal/multicentric (MF/MC) breast cancer has been associated with an increased rate of regional lymph node metastases. Tumor heterogeneity between foci represents a largely unstudied source of genomic variation in those rare patients with MF/MC ILC.We characterized gene expression and copy number in 2 or more foci from 11 patients with MF/MC ILC (all ER+, HER2-) and adjacent normal tissue. RNA and DNA were extracted from 3x1.5 mm cores from all foci. Gene expression (730 genes) and copy number (80 genes) were measured using Nanostring PanCancer and Cancer CNV panels. Linear mixed models were employed to compare expression in tumor versus normal samples from the same patient, and to assess heterogeneity (variability) in expression among multiple ILC within an individual.35 and 34 genes were upregulated (FC>2) and down-regulated (FC<0.5) respectively in ILC tumor relative to adjacent normal tissue, q<0.05. 9/34 down-regulated genes (FIGF, RELN, PROM1, SFRP1, MMP7, NTRK2, LAMB3, SPRY2, KIT) had changes larger than CDH1, a hallmark of ILC. Copy number changes in these patients were relatively few but consistent across foci within each patient. Amplification of three genes (CCND1, FADD, ORAOV1) at 11q13.3 was present in 2/11 patients in both foci. We observed significant evidence of within-patient between-foci variability (heterogeneity) in gene expression for 466 genes (p<0.05 with FDR 8%), including CDH1, FIGF, RELN, SFRP1, MMP7, NTRK2, LAMB3, SPRY2 and KIT.There was substantial variation in gene expression between ILC foci within patients, including known markers of ILC, suggesting an additional level of complexity that should be addressed.

Project description:Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) of the breast accounts for 5-15% of breast cancers and is characterized by loss of E-cadherin and believed to arise via a linear histological progression. Genomic studies have identified a clonal relationship between ILC and concurrent lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) lesions, suggesting that LCIS may be a precursor lesion. It has been shown that an LCIS diagnosis confers a 15-20% risk of progression to ILC, over a lifetime. Currently no molecular test or markers can identify LCIS lesions likely to progress to ILC. Since microRNA (miRNA) expression changes have been detected in a number of other cancer types, we explored whether their dysregulation might be detected during progression from LCIS to ILC. Using the Illumina miRNA profiling platform, designed for simultaneous analysis of 470 mature miRNAs, we analyzed the profiles of archived normal breast epithelium, LCIS lesions found alone, LCIS lesions concurrent with ILC, and the concurrent ILCs, as a model of linear histological progression toward ILC. We identified two sets of differentially expressed miRNAs, the first set highly expressed in normal epithelium, including hsa-miR-224, -139, -10b, -450, 140 and -365 and the second set upregulated during lobular neoplasia, including hsa-miR-375, -203, -425-5p, -183, -565 and -182. Using quantitative RT-PCR, we validated a trend of increased expression for hsa-mir-375, hsa-mir-182, and hsa-mir-183 correlating with ILC progression. As we detected increased expression of hsa-miR-375 in LCIS lesions synchronous with ILC, we sought to determine whether hsa-mir-375 might induce phenotypes reminiscent of lobular neoplasia by expressing it in the MCF10A 3D culture model of mammary acinar morphogenesis. Increased expression of hsa-miR-375 resulted in loss of cellular organization and acquisition of a hyperplastic phenotype. These data suggest that dysregulated miRNA expression contributes to lobular neoplastic progression. 6 specimens were analyzed in duplicate. One frozen normal lobular epithelium and the matched FFPE (1 month old) normal lobular epithelium. One lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) found alone, one LCIS synchronous with an invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), the synchronous ILC (from a different archived block), and one ILC found alone without presence of any other breast cancer.

Project description:The identification of lobular caricnoma in situ (LCIS) in a patient's specimen confers and appreciable increased risk of development of future invasive mammary carcinoma. However the study of LCIS presents a challenge as it is usually only recognized in fixed specimens and no good in vivo or in vitro models currently exist. Recent advances in high throughput genomics have made possible comprehensive copy number analysis of lesions such as this. We have characterized LCIS on microdissected cases of archival patient samples using aCGH. We used 4 cases of LCIS with adjacent ILC. Histological sections from 4 cases of LCIS and 4 cases of ILC microdissected, DNA extracted and subjected to whole genome amplification, and aCGH.

Project description:Invasive lobular cancer (ILC) accounts for approximately 10-15% of breast carcinomas and although it responds poorly to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, it appears to respond well to endocrine therapy. Pre- and on-treatment (after 2 weeks and 3 months) biopsies and surgical samples were obtained from 14 post-menopausal women with ER+ histologically confirmed ILC who responded to 3 months of neoadjuvant letrozole and were compared with a cohort of 14 responding infiltrating ductal carcinomas (IDCs) matched on clinicopathological features by gene expression profiling. Dynamic clinical response was assessed using periodic 3D ultrasound measurements performed during treatment and defined as a reduction of >70% in tumour volume by 3 months. The changes in gene expression in response to letrozole were highly consistent between responding ILC and IDC tumours, genes involved in proliferation were down-regulated and those involved with immune function and ECM remodelling were up-regulated. However, molecular differences between the histological subtypes were maintained upon treatment. This is the first study of molecular changes in ILC in response to endocrine therapy to date. The genes which change on letrozole are highly consistent between ILC and IDC. Differences in gene expression between ILC and IDC at diagnosis and are maintained at each time point on treatment. 14 Pre treatment, 10 two week and 14 three month on-treatment ILC and 14 Pre treatment, 14 two week and 14 three month on-treatment IDC samples from the same patients. Pre- and on-treatment samples from 7ILC & 6IDC patients were profiled on Illumina HT-12v4 (GPL10558) and samples from 7ILC and 8 IDC patients were profiled previously on Affymetrix U133A (GPL96) see GSE20181

Project description:Spontaneously occurring canine mammary cancer (MC) represents an excellent model of human breast cancer, but is greatly understudied. We performed high density arrays on 12 canine MC cases, including 7 simple carcinomas and four complex carcinomas. Simple carcinomas, which histologically match human breast carcinomas, harbor extensive genomic aberrations, many faithfully recapitulating key features of human breast cancer. Complex carcinomas, with luminal and myoepithelial cells both proliferating (which is rare in human breast cancer), appear to lack genomic abnormalities. Comparison of CNAs from canine mammary simple carcinomas and complex carcinomas

Project description:Background: The prognostic value of histologic grade (HG) in invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) remains uncertain, and most ILC tumors are graded as HG2. Genomic grade (GG) is a 97-gene signature that improves the prognostic value of HG. This study evaluates whether GG may overcome the limitations of HG in ILC. Methods: Gene expression data were generated from frozen tumor samples, and GG calculated according to the expression of 97 genes. The prognostic value of GG was assessed in a stratified Cox regression model for invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) and overall survival (OS).
