Project description:Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) plays an important role in cancer pathogenesis. In breast cancer, it reduces proliferation and increases migration in a cell line-dependent manner. To characterize the transcriptional mediators of these phenotypes, we performed RNA-seq and DNase-seq analyses after BMP4 treatment in MDA-MB-231 and T-47D breast cancer cells that respond to BMP4 with enhanced migration and decreased cell growth, respectively.

Project description:Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) is a remarkably powerful inhibitor of breast cancer cell proliferation, but is also able to induce breast cancer cell migration in certain cellular contexts. Previous data demonstrate that BMP4 controls the transcription of a variety of protein coding genes, but not much is known about microRNAs (miRNA) regulated by BMP4. In this study, miRNA expression patterns following BMP4 treatment were determined in one mammary epithelial and seven breast cancer cell lines using microarrays. The analysis identified 20 to 128 differentially expressed miRNAs in individual cell lines with emphasis on upregulation over downregulation. Four miRNAs (miR-16-5p, miR-106b-5p, miR-23a-3p and miR-23b-3p) were commonly induced in a subset of breast cancer cells upon BMP4 treatment and inhibition of their expression resulted in an increase in BT-474 cell number, indicating that they possess tumor suppressive properties. Yet no major change was detected when the cells were simultaneously treated with BMP4, and thus these miRNAs do not act as the main mediators of BMP4-induced growth reduction. MiR-16-5p and miR-106b-5p were elevated in MDA-MB-231 cells that respond to BMP4 with increased migration. Their inhibition, in combination with BMP4 treatment, resulted in enhanced MDA-MB-231 cell migration, suggesting that miR-16-5p and miR-106b-5p are engaged in BMP4-induced motility. Taken together, we have shown for the first time that in breast cancer cells BMP4 induces variable miRNA expression patterns.

Project description:Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the TGF-β superfamily of growth factors. They are known for their roles in regulation of osteogenesis and developmental processes and, in recent years, evidence has accumulated of their crucial functions in tumor biology. BMP4, in particular, has been implicated in breast cancer. However, little is known about BMP target genes in the context of tumor. We therefore explored the effects of BMP4 treatment on global gene transcription in five breast cancer cell lines during a 6-point time series. Data analysis included hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed genes, gene ontology enrichment analyses and model based clustering of temporal data. BMP4 had a strong effect on gene expression. The cellular functions most strongly affected were regulation of transcription and development. The observed transcriptional response, as well as its functional outcome, followed a temporal sequence, with regulation of gene expression and signal transduction leading to changes in metabolism and cell proliferation. Hierarchical clustering revealed distinct differences in the response of individual cell lines to BMP4, but also highlighted a synexpression group of genes. Finally, this study provides a list of potential novel BMP target genes relevant in breast cancer. Two-condition experiment, vehicle-treated vs. BMP4-treated. Five cell lines were tested at six time points each, what makes a total of 30 samples. RNA samples from three biological replicates were pooled before hybridization.

Project description:Bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) is involved in regulation of neural stem cells (NSCs) proliferation, differentiation, migration and survival. It was previously thought that the treatment of NSCs with BMP4 alone induces astrocytes, whereas the treatment of NSCs with the bFGF/BMP4 combination induces quiescent neural stem cells (qNSCs). In this study, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to compare the transcriptome profiles of BMP4-treated NSCs and bFGF/BMP4-treated NSCs, and found that both NSCs treated by these two methods were Sox2 positive qNSCs which were able to generate neurospheres. However, NSCs treated by those two methods exhibited different characteristics in state and the potential for neuronal differentiation based on transcriptome analysis and experimental results. We found that BMP4-treated NSCs tended to be in a deeper quiescent state than bFGF/BMP4-treated NSCs as the percentage of ki67-positive cells were lower in BMP4-treated NSCs. And after exposure to differentiated environment, bFGF/BMP4-treated NSCs generated more DCX-positive immature neurons and MAP2-positive neurons than BMP4-treated NSCs. Our study characterized qNSCs treated with BMP4 alone and bFGF/BMP4 combination, which laid a foundation for studying the activation mechanism of qNSCs.

Project description:Analysis of differentially expressed genes in response to the LXR agonist GW3965 in the MCF-7, T-47D, SK-BR-3, and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines. It was previously reported that GW3965 has antiproliferative effects on these 4 different breast cancer cell lines. In the present study, we additionally determine the effects of the LXR ligand on breast cancer cells and determine their mechanism of action in reducing cell proliferation. Total RNA obtained from 4 different breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7, T-47D, SK-BR-3, MDA-MB-231) grown in culture treated with ethanol (control) or GW3965 (GW-treated, experimental) for 48 hours. Triplicates were performed.

Project description:We found that MCF-7 and T-47D or MDA-MB-157 and MDA-MB-231 are rBC2LCN-positive or -negative breast cancer cell lines, respectively. To examine a global gene expression comparison between the rBC2LCN-positive and -negative breast cancer cell lines, DNA microarray analysis was performed.

Project description:BMP4 is down-regulated in metastatic human and murine mammary tumours. Here we determined the effect of ectopic mouse Bmp4 re-expression on global gene expression patterns in orthotopic primary mammary tumours in syngeneic Balb/c mice. Breast cancer is a major cause of cancer related death in women, due to the development of metastatic disease in vital organs. Metastasis can be facilitated by tumor induced MDSC, which requires understanding. We have confirmed that BMP4 is a potent suppressor of breast cancer metastasis, but for potential clinical application, it is important to understand how BMP4 acts to suppress metastasis. Here, we report one mechanism by which BMP4 can inhibit metastasis. Mice bearing highly metastatic mammary tumors present with elevated numbers of myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC), the extent of which is markedly reduced upon exogenous BMP4 expression. Increased numbers of MDSC can also be induced directly by treatment with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), leading to enhancement of metastasis. Both tumor-induced and G-CSF-induced MDSC can effectively suppress T cell activation and proliferation. BMP4 acts to reduce the expression and secretion of G-CSF through inhibition of NFkB activity in several human and mouse tumor lines. Since MDSC in breast cancer patients are correlated with poor prognosis, BMP4 treatment offers a potential new therapeutic strategy for progressive breast disease. Three 4T1.2 primary mammary tumours and three 4T1.2-Bmp4 primary mammary tumours were analyzed.

Project description:Dormancy of disseminated tumor cells in secondary organs leads to late breast cancer-related deaths after relapse. The bone marrow is one of the primary breast cancer metastatic sites and is associated with poor prognosis. Here, we investigated the role of major factors of the bone marrow, BMP4 and TGF?2, in regulating cancer cell dormancy. Unexpectedly, we observed that TGF?2 and BMP4 have a synergistic effect that induces dormancy in both normal and transformed mammary stem cells. Several assays (3D matrigel, FUCCI Cell Cycle Indicator) showed that co-exposure to TGF?2 and BMP4 had a stronger anti-proliferative effect than each ligand alone. In addition, transformed cells fully retained this synergistic effect while they became less sensitive to individual cytokines. Surprisingly, single-cell RNAseq analysis revealed the heterogeneity of the G0 compartment at the transcriptomic level. We identified a unique deep dormant cluster under TGF?2 and BMP4 co-exposure characterized by a blended signature from treatments by TGF?2 or BMP4 alone. These findings reveal that disseminated breast cancer cells in the bone marrow are placed in a deep dormant stage by the synergistic effect of TGF?2 and BMP4 that neither factor can achieve alone. Lastly, our data suggest that the local BMP4 levels decrease with tissue aging and can therefore contribute to dormant cell awakening. By providing a better understanding of BMP4/TGF?2 signaling, our results open opportunities to prevent cancer relapse.
