Gene expression data in MDA231-LM2 breast cancer cells cultured as oncospheres

ABSTRACT: In advanced malignancies, cancer cells have acquired capabilities to resist a variety of stress-inducing insults. We show that c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) stress signaling is highly active in cancer cells from patients with late stage breast cancer and promotes tumor growth and metastasis in mouse models. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that JNK activity induces genes associated with extracellular matrix (ECM), wound healing and mammary stem cells. The ECM proteins and niche components osteopontin (SPP1) and tenascin C (TNC) are induced by JNK signaling and promote metastatic colonization of the lungs. Notably, treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs induces JNK activity in breast cancer cells, reinforcing the production of SPP1 and TNC. Inhibition of JNK or reduction of SPP1 or TNC expression sensitizes primary tumors and metastases in mice to chemotherapy. We used Affymetrix microarrays to investigate gene expression changes upon culturing metastatic breast cancer cells as oncospheres, in ultra-low adhesive plates in the absence of serum, in contrast to regular monolayer culture conditions.

Transcriptomic profiling of fibroblasts at different stages of lung colonization by MDA-MB-231 or MDA-MB-231-LM2 cells

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts promote the development of many primary malignancies, but their function in metastatic progression is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that colonization of the lungs by metastatic breast cancer cells induces an inflammatory phenotype in lung fibroblasts. CXCL9 and CXCL10 are induced in an NFκB-dependent manner in metastasis-associated fibroblasts in response IL-1α and IL-1β secreted by disseminated breast cancer cells. We find that the chemokine receptor CXCR3, that binds CXCL9/10, is expressed in a small subset of breast cancer cells that exhibits greater tumor-initiating ability when co-transplanted with fibroblasts. CXCR3-expressing cancer cells maintain JNK signaling that drives IL-1A/B expression, and thus rendering this subpopulation efficient in both inducing CXCL9/10 in lung fibroblasts and responding to the chemokines. Importantly, disruption of the CXCL9/10-CXCR3 axis significantly reduces metastatic colonization in xenograft and syngeneic mouse models suggesting an essential role of this paracrine crosstalk in metastatic progression and a potential therapeutic vulnerability for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.

Intermittent hypoxia confers pro-metastatic gene expression selectively through NF-kB in inflammatory breast cancer cells

Project description:Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most aggressive form of breast cancer. Treatment options are limited and the mechanisms underlying its aggressiveness are poorly understood. Intermittent hypoxia (IH) causes oxidative stress and is emerging as important regulator of tumor metastasis. Vessels in IBC tumors were shown to be immature, which is a primary cause of IH. We therefore investigated the relevance of IH for the modulation of gene expression in IBC cells in order to assess IH as potential regulator of IBC aggressiveness. Gene array analysis of IBC cells following chronic IH (45-60 days) demonstrated increased expression of pro-metastatic genes of the extracellular matrix, such as tenascin-C (TNC; an essential factor of the metastatic niche) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), and of pro-inflammatory processes, such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Investigating the oxidative stress-dependent regulation of TNC, we found a gradual sensitivity on mRNA and protein levels. Oxidative stress activated NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), c-Jun and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), but TNC upregulation was only dependent on NF-κB activation. Pharmacological inhibition of inhibitor of NF-κB α (IκBα) phosphorylation as well as overexpression of IκBα prevented TNC, MMP9 and COX-2 induction, whereas the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) increased their expression levels. Analysis of the gene array data showed NF-κB binding sites for 64% of all upregulated genes, linking NF-κB and IH-dependent regulation of pro-metastatic gene expression in IBC cells. Our results provide a first link between intermittent hypoxia and pro-metastatic gene expression in IBC cells, revealing a putative novel mechanism for the high metastatic potential of IBC.

SPP1+ macrophages in HR+ breast cancer are associated with tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes.

Project description:Breast cancer, categorised into hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-positive (HER2+), and triple-negative (TNBC) subtypes, exhibits varied outcomes based on the number of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Increased TIL levels are associated with better outcomes in HER2+ and TNBC, while HR+ individuals with high TIL levels show shorter survival but greater neoadjuvant chemotherapy response. To explore the divergent roles of TIL levels across various subtypes and their effect on immune cell composition, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing on 31 patients with breast cancer. HR+ breast cancer with high TIL levels (TIL-high) revealed increased SPP1+ macrophages, increased SPP1 expression in other monocytes/macrophages (mono/macro) subgroups, and enriched pathways associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling in mono/macro. Moreover, cell–cell interaction analyses revealed enhanced SPP1, MIF, and FN1 signalling in the interaction between SPP1+ macrophages and T-cells in TIL-high HR+ breast cancer. Spatial transcriptomics data highlighted the close proximity of SPP1+ macrophages, CD8+ T-cells, and CD4+ T-cells in TIL-high HR+ breast cancer. Our findings unveil the novel influence of SPP1+ macrophages on T-cells in TIL-high HR+ breast cancer, potentially explaining the poor prognosis and offering insights for targeted interventions.

Exploiting ECM signatures associated with human metastases for targeting tumors and metastases using alpaca-derived nanobodies

Project description:Jailkhani N, Clauser KR, Mak H, Rickelt S, Tian C, Whittaker CA, Tanabe KK, Purdy SR, Carr SA, and Hynes RO.2022. Metastases are hard to detect and treat, and cause most cancer-related deaths. The relative lack of therapies targeting metastases represents a major unmet clinical need. The extracellular matrix or ECM forms a major component of the tumor microenvironment in both primary and metastatic tumors and certain ECM proteins can be selectively and abundantly expressed in such tumors. We propose that nanobodies against ECM proteins that show selective abundance in metastases can be used as vehicles for delivery of imaging and therapeutic cargoes. To gain a deeper understanding of the microenvironment of human metastases, we describe here an LC-MS/MS-based ECM signature shared by human TNBC and CRC metastases to different organs and provide evidence that this conserved set of ECM proteins is selectively elevated in other tumors. We also describe phage-display libraries of nanobodies raised against ECM-enriched preparations from human metastases from TNBC and CRC. As proof of concept, we developed selective and specific, high-affinity nanobodies against an example signature protein, Tenascin-C (TNC), known to be abundant in many tumor types and to play a role in metastases. We report that TNC is abundantly expressed in patient metastases and widely expressed across diverse metastatic sites originating from several primary tumor types. Using immuno-PET/CT we showed that anti-TNC nanobodies bind TNBC tumors and metastases with excellent specificity. We propose that such generic anti-tumor nanobodies are promising cancer-agnostic, in vivo tools for the delivery of therapeutics to tumor and metastatic ECM.

Organ specific fibroblast-derived matrix as a tool for understanding breast cancer metastasis

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer has an extremely poor prognosis due to lack of available targeted treatments, especially for metastasis. Metastatic sites frequently include the lymph nodes and the lungs, and during the metastatic process, breast cancer cells must come into contact with the extracellular matrix (ECM) at every step. The ECM provides both structural support and biochemical cues, and cell-ECM interactions can lead to changes in to drug response. Here, we used fibroblast-derived ECM to perform high throughput drug screening of 4T1 breast cancer cells on metastatic organ ECM (lung) and we see that drug response differs to drug inhibition on plastic. The FDM that we are able to produce from different metastatic organs is abundant in, and contains a complex mixture of ECM proteins. We also show differences in ECM composition between the primary site and metastatic sites. Furthermore, we show that global kinase signalling of 4T1 cells on the ECM is relatively unchanged between organs, however we show large changes in signalling compared to plastic. Our study highlights the importance of context when testing drug response in vitro, showing that the consideration of the ECM is critically important.

Transcriptomic profiling of lung endothelial cells at different stages of lung colonization by MDA-MB-231-LM2 cells

Project description:In cancer progression to metastasis, disseminated cancer cells frequently lodge near vasculature in secondary organs. However, our understanding of the cellular crosstalk evoked at perivascular sites is still rudimentary. In this study, we identified an inter-cellular machinery governing formation of a pro-metastatic vascular niche during breast cancer colonization in lungs. Transcriptomic analysis of endothelial cells (ECs) isolated from mouse lungs with metastases revealed a marked upregulation of genes linked to proliferation, inflammation and numerous secreted proteins. We showed that four secreted factors, INHBB, SCGB3A1, OPG and LAMA1, induced in ECs form a supportive niche that promotes metastasis in mice, by enhancing stem cell properties and survival ability of cancer cells. Interestingly, the blocking vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF), a major cytokine regulating EC behaviors, dramatically suppressed EC proliferation whereas no impact was observed on the expression of the four vascular niche factors in lung ECs. We found that the formation of a vascular niche is correlated with inflammation, and revealed that metastasis-associated macrophages are essential for production of all of four niche factors in lung ECs. Macrophages are activated via TNC-TLR4 at perivasculature and sequentially stimulate ECs to produce the four niche factors. Thus, our findings provide mechanistic insights into the formation of a perivascular niche and offer the possibility that targeting macrophages may synergize with existing anti-angiogenic drugs to effectively suppress vascular function in metastatic colonization. We used microarrays to analyze the global changes of gene expression in lung endothelial cells at different stages of lung colonization by MDA-MB-231-LM2 cells
