Project description:Breast tumors from BRCA1 germ line mutation carriers typically exhibit features of the basal-like molecular subtype. However, the specific genes recurrently mutated as a consequence of BRCA1 dysfunction have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we utilized gene expression profiling to molecularly subtype 577 breast tumors, including 73 breast tumors from BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. Focusing on the RB1 locus, we analyzed 33 BRCA1-mutated, 36 BRCA2-mutated and 48 non-BRCA1/2-mutated breast tumors using a custom-designed high-density oligomicroarray covering the RB1 gene. We found a strong association between the basal-like subtype and BRCA1-mutated breast tumors and the luminal B subtype and BRCA2-mutated breast tumors. RB1 was identified as a major target for genomic disruption in tumors arising in BRCA1 mutation carriers and in sporadic tumors with BRCA1 promoter-methylation, but rarely in other breast cancers. Homozygous deletions, intragenic breaks, or microdeletions were found in 33% of BRCA1-mutant tumors, 36% of BRCA1 promoter-methylated basal-like tumors, 13% of non-BRCA1 deficient basal-like tumors, and 3% of BRCA2-mutated tumors. In addition, RB1 was frequently inactivated by gross gene disruption in BRCA1-related hereditary breast cancer and BRCA1-methylated sporadic basal-like breast cancer, but rarely in BRCA2-hereditary breast cancer and non-BRCA1-deficient sporadic breast cancers. Together, our findings demonstrate the existence of genetic heterogeneity within the basal-like breast cancer subtype that is based upon BRCA1-status. Gene expression profiling of breast tumors.

Project description:Purpose: As estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer in BRCA1 mutation carriers arises at an older age with less aggressive tumor characteristics than ER negative BRCA1 mutated breast cancer, it has been suggested that these tumors are ?sporadic? and not BRCA1-driven. With the introduction of targeted treatments specific for tumors with a non-functioning BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, the question whether the BRCA genes are impaired in the tumor, is highly relevant. Therefore, we performed genomic profiling of BRCA1-mutated ER+ tumors. Experimental design: Genomic profiling, BRCA1 promoter methylation assessment, and loss of heterozygosity analysis were done on 16 BRCA1-mutated ER+ tumors. Results were compared with 57 BRCA1-mutated ER- tumors, 36 BRCA2-mutated ER+ associated tumors, and 182 sporadic ER+ tumors [GSE9021, GSE9114, GSE16511, GSE50407]. Results: The genomic profile of BRCA1-mutated ER+ tumors was different from BRCA1-mutated ER- breast tumors, but highly similar to BRCA2-mutated ER+ tumors. In 83% of the BRCA1-mutated ER+ tumors, loss of the wildtype BRCA1 allele was observed. In addition, clinico-pathological variables in BRCA1-mutated ER+ cancer were also more similar to BRCA2-mutated ER+ and sporadic ER+ breast cancer than to BRCA1 mutated ER- cancers. Conclusions: As BRCA1-mutated ER+ tumors show a BRCAness copy number profile and LOH, it is likely that the loss of a functional BRCA1 protein plays a role in tumorigenesis in BRCA1-mutated ER+ tumors. Therefore, we hypothesize that these tumors are sensitive to drugs targeting the BRCA1 gene defect, providing new targeted treatment modalities for advanced BRCA-deficient, ER-positive breast cancer.

Project description:Inhibitors of PARP (PARPis) represent the first clinically approved anticancer agents targeting the DNA damage response. They have been approved as monotherapy and/or in combination and maintenance settings in different tumor types, including high-grade ovarian carcinomas. Their efficacy was first underlined in cells with functional inactivation of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and this strong preclinical evidence prompted their clinical development in tumors with BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations. It was later demonstrated that PARPis were very effective in tumors displaying deficiency in homologous recombination (HR) repair beyond BRCA1 and BRCA2 loss of function. In addition, evidence from randomized clinical trials supports their efficacy also in tumors with intact HR repair, although to a lesser extent.

Project description:Pathogenic germline mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 are detected in less than one third of families with a strong history of breast cancer. It is therefore expected that mutations still remain undetected by currently used screening methods. In addition, a growing number of BRCA1/2 sequence variants of unclear pathogen significance are found in the families, constituting an increasing clinical challenge. New methods are therefore needed to improve the detection rate and aid the interpretation of the clinically uncertain variants. In this study we analyzed a series of 33 BRCA1, 22 BRCA2, and 128 sporadic tumors by RNA profiling to investigate the classification potential of RNA profiles to predict BRCA1/2 mutation status. We found that breast tumors from BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers display characteristic RNA expression patterns, allowing them to be distinguished from sporadic tumors. The majority of BRCA1 tumors were basal-like while BRCA2 tumors were mainly luminal B. Using RNA profiles, we were able to distinguish BRCA1 tumors from sporadic tumors among basal-like tumors with 83% accuracy and BRCA2 from sporadic tumors among luminal B tumors with 89% accuracy. Furthermore, subtype-specific BRCA1/2 gene signatures were successfully validated in two independent data sets with high accuracies. Although additional validation studies are required, indication of BRCA1/2 involvement (“BRCAness”) by RNA profiling could potentially be valuable as a tool for distinguishing pathogenic mutations from benign variants, for identification of undetected mutation carriers, and for selecting patients sensitive to new therapeutics such as PARP inhibitors. Gene expression profiling of 183 breast tumor samples. Breast tumors from hereditary breast cancer patients carrying a pathogenic BRCA1 (n=33) or BRCA2 (n=22) germ-line mutation were included in the study. Serving as a representative control group, primary breast tumor samples (n=128) were randomly selected. The study was conducted using Agilent-029949 Custom SurePrint G3 Human GE 8x60K Microarray platform. For cross-platform validation, a subset of the tumor samples (92 of the 183 samples) were analyzed by our in-house spotted microarray platform.

Project description:Heterozygous germline mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 predispose to breast, ovarian, as well as other cancers. The main physiological function of BRCA1 and BRCA2 is to facilitate DNA replication, by stabilising and re-starting stalled replication forks. Consequently, inactivation of either BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes leads to replication pathologies and accumulation of DNA double strand breaks. Similar to BRCA1/2 inactivation, oncogene overexpression interferes with replication and inflicts DNA damage. It remains unclear how the replication defects in the two settings differ from each other and what is their combined effect on cell viability. Here, we report that accumulation of β-catenin, an oncogene of the WNT signalling pathway, is synthetically lethal with BRCA1/2 inactivation. We identify two transcription-dependent mechanisms that mediate oncogene toxicity in the context of BRCA1/2 deficiency. Firstly, accumulation of β-catenin activates E2F-dependent transcription, which accelerates G1/S transition, thus counteracting the delayed S-phase entry caused by BRCA1/2 abrogation. This, in turn, triggers illegitimate origin firing leading to fork collapse, DNA damage and deregulation of gene expression. Secondly, we find that β-catenin accumulation suppresses transcription of CDKN1A gene encoding p21, a modulator of fork progression. Decreased replication rates represent a hallmark of BRCA2 deficiency. Through p21 downregulation, β-catenin accelerates replication fork progression in BRCA2-deficient cells, thereby inflicting DNA damage and triggering cell death. Thus, our results demonstrate that oncogene-driven premature S-phase entry and increased replication rate are lethal in the context of BRCA1/2 abrogation, which explains the mutual exclusivity between oncogene activation and BRCA1/2 gene mutations in human tumours.
