Project description:[original title] Metastatic Canine Mammary Carcinomas can be Identified by a Gene Expression Profile that partly Overlaps with Human Breast Cancer Profiles. Introduction: Similar to human breast cancer mammary tumors of the female dog are commonly associated with a fatal outcome due to the development of distant metastases. However, the molecular defects leading to metastasis are largely unknown and the value of canine mammary carcinoma as a model for human breast cancer is unclear. In this study, we analyzed the gene expression signatures associated with mammary tumor metastasis and asked for parallels with the human equivalent. Methods: Messenger RNA expression profiles of twenty-seven lymph node metastasis positive or negative canine mammary carcinomas were established by microarray analysis. Differentially expressed genes were functionally characterized and associated with molecular pathways. The findings were also correlated with published data on human breast cancer. Results: Metastatic canine mammary carcinomas had 1,011 significantly differentially expressed genes when compared to non-metastatic carcinomas. Metastatic carcinomas had a significant up-regulation of genes associated with cell cycle regulation, matrix modulation, protein folding and proteasomal degradation whereas cell differentiation genes, growth factor pathway genes and regulators of actin organization were significantly down-regulated. Interestingly, 265 of the 1,011 differentially expressed canine genes are also related to human breast cancer and, vice versa, parts of a human prognostic gene signature were identified in the expression profiles of the metastatic canine tumors. Conclusions: Metastatic canine mammary carcinomas can be discriminated from non-metastatic carcinomas by their gene expression profiles. More than one third of the differentially expressed genes are also described of relevance for human breast cancer. Many of the differentially expressed genes are linked to functions and pathways which appear to be relevant for the induction and maintenance of metastatic progression and may represent new therapeutic targets. Furthermore, dogs are in some aspects suitable as a translational model for human breast tumors in order to identify prognostic molecular signatures and potential therapeutic targets.

Thirteen simple mammary carcinomas with invasive growth and lymph node metastases at the time of tumor resection and 14 simple carcinomas without lymph node metastases were included in the study. None of the patients had radiographically detectable pulmonary metastases at the time of tumor resection. Distant metastases as the cause of death were determined postoperatively by radiographic detection of metastases or necropsy. Selection criteria for carcinomas without lymph node metastases included an invasive growth, a negative lymph node status, a histological grade III and a minimal tumor diameter above the average of the lymph node positive tumors (> 2.42 cm). All animals with non-metastatic carcinomas had a survival rate of over 24 months except animal no. 22 (2627) which developed radiographic detectable lung metastases 8 months after surgery. Tumor and lymph node histologies were evaluated independently by two board-certified pathologists, following the criteria of the WHO classification of canine mammary tumors and the Nottingham grading system. All 27 tumors were simple carcinomas and characterized by an invasive, mostly solid growth pattern, marked cellular pleomorphism, anisokaryosis and 3 or more mitotic figures per high power field.

Project description:Cancer-associated stroma (CAS) is widely recognized to influence development and progression of epithelial tumours including breast cancer. Canine mammary tumours (CMTs) such as simple canine mammary carcinomas represent valuable models for human breast cancer also with respect to stromal reprogramming. However, it remains unclear whether and how CAS changes in metastatic tumours compared to non-metastatic ones. To characterize stromal changes between metastatic and non-metastatic CMTs and identify potential drivers of tumour progression, we analysed CAS and matched normal stroma from 16 non-metastatic and 15 metastatic CMTs by RNA-sequencing of microdissected FFPE tissue. We identified 1438 differentially regulated genes between CAS and normal stroma, supporting previous results demonstrating stromal reprogramming in CMTs to be comparable with CAS in human breast cancer and validating deregulation of pathways and genes associated with CAS. Using primary human fibroblasts activated by treatment with TGFβ, we demonstrate some of the strongest expression changes to be conserved in fibroblasts across species. Furthermore, we identify 132 differentially expressed genes between CAS from metastatic and non-metastatic tumours, with strong changes in pathways including chemotaxis, regulation of apoptosis, immune response and TGFβ signalling and validate deregulation of several targets using RT-qPCR. Finally, we identify specific upregulation of COL6A5, F5, GALNT3, CIT and MMP11 in metastatic CAS, suggesting high stromal expression of these targets to be linked to malignancy and metastasis of CMTs. In summary, our data present a resource supporting further research into stromal changes of the mammary gland in relation to metastasis with implications for both canine and human mammary cancer.

Project description:Proliferation, dedifferentiation, loss of cell-cell contacts and angiogenesis are among the first steps of the metastasis cascade. The complex molecular pathways associated with these events in canine mammary tumors are mostly unknown and the value of this spontaneous canine tumor as a comparative model for human breast cancer is therefore still under debate. Messenger RNA profiles of lymph-node positive canine mammary carcinomas and normal mammary glands of the same dogs were compared by microarray analysis to elucidate molecular pathways associated with metastatic progression. Differential gene expression was analyzed by gene set enrichment and pathway analysis and compared with the gene expression data of human breast cancer. Metastatic canine carcinomas had 1,312 significantly differentially expressed genes when compared to the corresponding normal mammary gland. This expression profile included a significantly increased expression of cell division and extracellular matrix invasion genes (MMP1, MMP11, MMP13, SERPINE1, TFPI2, TIMP3). In contrast, genes associated with epithelial differentiation (EGF, EGFR, KRT17, MAP2K6, STAT5), cell adhesion (CLDN5, CLDN8, CTNNAL1, MCAM, MUC1, PECAM1) and angiogenesis (ANGPT2, ANGPTL1, ANGPTL2, ANGPTL4, FGFR1, FIGF, TIE1) were mostly down-regulated. Interestingly, tumors had a significant decrease in membrane receptors and growth factor pathway gene expression (EGFR, FGFR1, GHR, LYVE1, PDGFR, PDGFR, TGFBR, TIE1), indicating a potential independence from these proliferative stimuli. Several of the identified deregulated pathways overlap with gene expression profiles of human breast cancer. Gene expression profiling of metastatic carcinomas therefore identified complex molecular pathways and functional gene families that are deregulated during malignant progression in the tumors. This study provides new insights into canine mammary tumor metastasis and suggests that canine mammary tumors may serve as a valuable model for the human disease.

This study provides new insights into canine mammary tumor metastasis and suggests that canine mammary tumors may serve as a valuable model for the human disease. 13 simple mammary carcinomas with lymph node metastases at the time of tumor resection were compared with the non-neoplastic mammary gland of the same dogs. Sufficient amounts of normal mammary gland were not available for dogs no. 1 (822) and 9 (61). In addition, one normal sample without matching tumor sample was analyzed (no. 8; 2609). All patients had no radiographically detectable pulmonary metastases at the time of tumor resection. Postoperative survival was analyzed by bi-yearly telephone interviews with the owners or the attending veterinarian. Distant metastases as the cause of death were determined postoperatively by radiographic detection of metastases (nos. 1-7, 9-12) or necropsy (nos. 13 and 14). Necropsy was not authorized by the owners of dogs nos. 1-7 and 9-12. Tissue specimens of tumors and lymph node metastases were fixed in neutral-buffered 4% formalin or snap frozen in liquid nitrogen within 15 minutes after resection and stored at -80ºC until further use. Formalin-fixed tumor tissue samples were routinely embedded in paraffin and sections of 2-μm thickness were mounted on adhesive glass slides and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Tumors and lymph nodes were evaluated histologically independently by two board-certified pathologists, following the criteria of the WHO classification of canine mammary tumors (Misdorp et al. 1999).

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.

Project description:Spontaneously occurring canine mammary cancer represents an excellent model of human breast cancer, but is greatly understudied. To better use this valuable resource, we performed whole-genome sequencing, whole-exome sequencing, RNA-seq, and/or high-density arrays on twelve canine mammary cancer cases, including seven simple carcinomas and four complex carcinomas. Canine simple carcinomas, which histologically match human breast carcinomas, harbor extensive genomic aberrations, many of which faithfully recapitulate key features of human breast cancer. Canine complex carcinomas, which are characterized by proliferation of both luminal and myoepithelial cells and are rare in human breast cancer, seem to lack genomic abnormalities. Instead, these tumors have about 35 chromatin-modification genes downregulated and are abnormally enriched with active histone modification H4-acetylation, whereas aberrantly depleted with repressive histone modification H3K9me3. Our findings indicate the likelihood that canine simple carcinomas arise from genomic aberrations, whereas complex carcinomas originate from epigenomic alterations, reinforcing their unique value. Canine complex carcinomas offer an ideal system to study myoepithelial cells, the second major cell lineage of the mammary gland. Canine simple carcinomas, which faithfully represent human breast carcinomas at the molecular level, provide indispensable models for basic and translational breast cancer research.

Project description:Cancer-associated stroma (CAS) profoundly influences development and progression of tumours including mammary carcinoma (mCA). Spontaneous canine simple mCA represent relevant models of human mCA, notably also with respect to CAS reprogramming. While transcriptomic changes in CAS of mCA are well described, it remains unclear to what extent these differences translate to the protein level. Therefore, we sought to gain insight into the proteomic changes in CAS and compare them with transcriptomic changes in the same tissue. To this end, we analysed CAS and matched normal stroma isolated by laser-capture microdissection (LCM) by LC-MS/MS in a cohort of 14 Formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) canine mCAs that we had previously characterized using LCM-RNAseq. Our results reveal clear differences in protein abundance between CAS and normal stroma, which are characterised by changes in the extracellular matrix, the cytoskeleton, and cytokines such as TNF. While the proteomics-based analysis of LCM-FFPE tissue detects fewer targets than RNAseq, the protein and RNA levels show a decent degree of correlation, especially for the most deregulated targets. Moreover, the results from both approaches reveal a comparable picture with regards to pathway activation. Finally, we validate transcriptomic upregulation of LTBP2, IGFBP2, COL6A5, POSTN, FN1, COL4A1, COL12A1, PLOD2, COL4A2, and IGFBP7 in CAS on the protein level and demonstrate their adverse prognostic value for human breast cancer. Given the relevance of canine mCA as model for the human disease, our analysis substantiates these targets as disease-promoting stromal components with implications for breast cancer in both humans and dogs.

Project description:We hypothesize that there is a gene signature which will improve our ability to predict development of metastatic disease in STS patients. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of using cDNA microarray and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis to determine gene expression patterns in metastatic versus non-metastatic canine STSs, given the inherent heterogeneity of this group of tumors. Five STSs from dogs with metastatic disease were evaluated in comparison to eight STSs from dogs without metastasis. Tumor RNA was extracted, processed and labeled for application to the Affymetrix Canine Genechip 2.0 Array. Array fluorescence was normalized using D-Chip software and data analysis was performed with JMP/Genomics. Differential gene expression was validated using qRT-PCR. Over 200 genes were differentially expressed at a false discovery rate of 5%. Differential gene expression was validated for five genes upregulated in metastatic tumors. Quantitative RT-PCR confirmed increased relative expression of all five genes of interest in the metastatic STSs. Our results demonstrate that microarray and qRT-PCR are feasible methods for comparing gene signatures in canine STSs. Further evaluation of differences in gene expression between metastatic and non-metastatic STSs is likely to identify genes important in the development of metastatic disease and improve our ability to prognosticate for individual patients. Comparison of metastatic and non-metastatic (defined as no metastasis for at least one year) untreated tumor biopsies.
