Project description:Background: Human breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease consisting of multiple molecular subtypes. Genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) are useful resources for studying breast cancers in vivo under genetically controlled and immune competent conditions. Identifying murine models with conserved human tumor features will facilitate etiology determinations, highlight the effects of mutations on pathway activation, and improve preclinical drug validation. Results: Transcriptomic profiles of 27 murine models of mammary carcinoma and normal mammary tissue were determined using gene expression microarrays. Hierarchical clustering analysis identified 17 distinct murine subtypes (classes). Across species analyses using three independent human breast cancer datasets identified eight murine classes that represent specific human breast cancer subtypes. Multiple models were associated with human basal-like tumors including TgC3(1)-Tag, TgWap-Myc, and Trp53-/-. Interestingly, the TgWAPCre-Etv6 model mimicked the HER2-enriched subtype, a group of human tumors without a murine counterpart in previous comparative studies. Gene signature analysis identified hundreds of commonly expressed pathways between linked mouse and human subtypes, highlighting potentially common genetic drivers of tumorigenesis and candidate pathways for therapeutic intervention. Conclusion: This study consolidates murine models of breast carcinoma into the largest comprehensive transcriptomic dataset to date to identify human-mouse disease subtype counterparts. This approach illustrates the value of comparisons between species to identify murine models that faithfully mimic the human condition and indicates that multiple GEMMs are needed to represent the diversity of human breast cancers. These trans-species associations should guide model selection during preclinical study design to ensure appropriate representatives of the human disease subtypes are used.

Project description:Epithelial ovarian cancer is morphologically and clinically heterogeneous. Transcriptional profiling has revealed molecular subtypes (referred to as M-bM-^@M-^\C-signaturesM-bM-^@M-^]) that correlate to biological as well as clinical features. We aimed to determine gene expression differences between malignant, benign and borderline serous ovarian tumors, and to investigate similarities to the intrinsic molecular subtypes of breast cancer. Global gene expression profiling was performed using Illumina's HT12 Bead Arrays and applied to 59 fresh-frozen ovarian tumors. SAM analysis revealed enrichment of cell cycel processes among the malignant tumors, in line with malignant tumors being highly proliferative. The borderline tumors were split between the malignant and benign tumor clusters, indicating that borderline tumors have both malignant and benign features. Furthermore, nearest centroid classification was performed applying previously published gene profiles for the ovarian cancer C-signatures and the intrinsic breast cancer subtypes, respectively, and showed significant correlations between the malignant serous tumors and the highly aggressive C1, C2 and C4 ovarian cancer signatures, and the basal-like breast cancer subtype. The benign and borderline serous tumors together were significantly correlated to the normal-like breast cancer subtype and the ovarian cancer C3 signature. The borderline tumors, on the other hand, correlated significantly to the Luminal A breast cancer subtype. These findings remained when analyzed in a large, independent dataset. The data in this study link the transcriptional profiles of serous ovarian cancer to the intrinsic molecular subtypes of breast cancer, in line with the shared clinical and molecular features between high-grade serous ovarian cancer and basal-like breast cancer, including an aggressive phenotype, frequent TP53 mutations and a high degree of genomic instability, and suggest that biomarkers and targeted therapies may overlap between these subsets of ovarian and breast cancers. Finally, the link between benign and borderline ovarian cancer and luminal breast cancer may indicate endocrine responsiveness in a subset of ovarian cancers.

Project description:Systems-wide profiling of breast cancer has so far built on RNA and DNA analysis by microarray and sequencing techniques. Dramatic developments in proteomic technologies now enable very deep profiling of clinical samples, with high identification and quantification accuracy. We analyzed 40 estrogen receptor positive (luminal), Her2 positive and triple negative breast tumors and reached a quantitative depth of more than 10,000 proteins. Comparison to mRNA classifiers revealed multiple discrepancies between proteins and mRNA markers of breast cancer subtypes. These proteomic profiles identified functional differences between breast cancer subtypes, related to energy metabolism, cell growth, mRNA translation and cell-cell communication. Furthermore, we derived a 19-protein predictive signature, which discriminates between the breast cancer subtypes, through Support Vector Machine (SVM)-based classification and feature selection. The deep proteome profiles also revealed novel features of breast cancer subtypes, which may be the basis for future development of subtype specific therapeutics.

Project description:Breast cancer is no longer viewed as a homogenous disease, but rather a compilation of several distinct subtypes as defined by microarray or other large scale genomic analyses. Based on prior reports, we hypothesized that younger women’s breast tumors would be enriched for more aggressive subtypes (i.e. Basal-like) and higher grade, and that age-specific gene expression differences may be highly dependent on subtype classification and/or grade. Using two independent datasets, our current analysis shows that breast tumors arising in women aged = 45 years are enriched for the Basal-like subtype (and higher grade) while those aged = 65 years are enriched for Luminal tumors. Moreover, when evaluating gene expression differences between age-defined groups, sizable gene lists were identified which diminished to few, if any, age-specific genes when statistically correcting for significant clinical factors (i.e. subtype, grade, etc).

Project description:Targeting the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway is a promising therapeutic strategy for breast cancer treatment. However, low response rates and the development of acquired resistance to PI3K-AKT-mTOR inhibitors remain major challenges for successful patient treatment. Here, we show that MYC activation is a central and clinically relevant mechanism of resistance to mTOR inhibitors (mTORi) in breast cancer. Multi-omic profiling of mouse invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) tumors revealed recurrent focal Myc amplification in tumors that acquire resistance to the mTORi AZD8055. The gained MYC activity was significantly associated with biological processes linked to mTORi response. Specifically, MYC counteracted the translation inhibitory effect induced by mTORi by promoting the translation of ribosomal proteins. In vitro and in vivo induction of MYC conferred resistance to AZD8055 as well as the clinically approved mTORi everolimus, both in mouse models of ILC and human breast cancer models. Conversely, AZD8055-resistant ILC cells depended on MYC, as demonstrated by synergistic growth inhibition using mTORi and MYCi combination treatment. Notably, MYC status was significantly associated with poor response to everolimus therapy in metastatic breast cancer patients. Thus, MYC is a clinically relevant determinant of mTORi resistance that may guide the selection of breast cancer patients for mTOR targeted therapies.

Project description:Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease for which prognosis and treatment strategies are largely governed by the receptor status (estrogen, progesterone and Her2-neu) of the tumor cells. Gene expression profiling of whole breast tumors further stratifies breast cancer into several molecular subtypes which also co-segregate with the receptor status of the tumor cells. We postulated that cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) within the tumor stroma may exhibit subtype specific gene expression profiles and thus contribute to the biology of the disease in a subtype specific manner. Several studies have reported gene expression profile differences between CAFs and normal breast fibroblasts but in none of these studies were the results stratified based on tumor subtypes. To address whether gene expression in breast cancer associated fibroblasts varies between breast cancer subtypes, we compared the gene expression profiles of early passage primary CAFs isolated from twenty human breast cancer samples representing three main subtypes; seven ER+, seven triple negative (TNBC) and six Her2+. We observed significant expression differences between CAFs derived from Her2+ breast cancer and CAFs from TNBC and ER+ cancers, particularly in pathways associated with cytoskeleton and integrin signaling. In the case of Her2+ breast cancer, the signaling pathways found to be selectively up regulated in CAFs may contribute to the more invasive properties and unfavorable prognosis of Her2+ breast cancer. These data demonstrate that in addition to the distinct molecular profiles that characterize the neoplastic cells, CAF gene expression is also differentially regulated in distinct subtypes of breast cancer. We isolated CAFs from twenty primary breast cancer samples representing three main subtypes (ER+ (n=7), TNBC (n=7), Her2+ (n=6)) and performed gene expression profile analyses on RNA isolated from these early passage CAFs. Those samples were done in two batches with 4 samples repeated in both batches. One TNBC sample was found to be an outlier and not used in the analysis.

Project description:Stage T1 bladder cancers have the highest progression and recurrence rates of all non-muscle invasive bladder tumors. T1 tumors are heterogeneous; while most T1 patients are treated with BCG, many will progress and die from bladder cancer, and particularly aggressive tumors could be treated by early cystectomy. To better understand the molecular heterogeneity of T1 cancers, we performed transcriptome profiling and unsupervised clustering, identifying five consensus subtypes of T1 tumors treated with reTUR, induction and maintenance BCG. The T1-LumGU subtype was associated with CIS (6/13, 46% of all CIS), had high E2F1 and EZH2 expression, and enriched E2F target and G2M checkpoint Hallmarks. T1-Inflam was inflamed and infiltrated with immune cells. While most T1 tumors were classified as luminal papillary, the T1-TLum subtype had the highest median Luminal Papillary score and FGFR3 expression, no recurrence events, and the fewest copy number gains. T1-Myc and T1-Early subtypes had the most recurrences (14/30 within 24 months), highest median MYC expression, and, when combined, had significantly worse recurrence-free survival than the other three subtypes. T1-Early had 5 (38%) recurrences within the first 6 months of BCG, and repressed IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma Hallmarks and inflammation. We developed a single-patient T1 classifier and validated our subtype biology in a second cohort of T1 tumors. Future research will be necessary to validate the proposed T1 subtypes and to determine if therapies can be individualized for each subtype.
