Project description:Endocrine resistance in breast cancer is a major clinical problem with poorly understood mechanisms. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics of a clinically-relevant tamoxifen-resistant cell line model identified increased levels of minichromosome maintenance proteins (MCM), including MCM3, as central in cell cycle and DNA replication protein-protein interaction networks associated with tamoxifen resistance. Lowering MCM3 protein expression in tamoxifen-resistant cells restored tamoxifen sensitivity and altered phosphorylation of several cell cycle regulators, such as p53(Ser315, 33), CHK1(Ser317) and cdc25b(Ser323), suggesting that MCM3 activation of important cell cycle-associated proteins overcomes tamoxifen’s anti-proliferative effects. High MCM3 expression in primary tumor tissue from two independent cohorts of ER+ breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant tamoxifen mono-therapy was an independent prognostic marker significantly associated with a shorter recurrence-free survival.

Project description:Purpose: Despite the benefits of estrogen receptor (ER)-targeted endocrine therapies in breast cancer, many tumors develop resistance. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been suggested as promising biomarkers and we here evaluated whether a miRNA profile could be identified, sub-grouping ER+ breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant Tamoxifen with regards to probability of recurrence. Experimental design: Global miRNA analysis was performed on 152 ER+ primary tumors from high-risk breast cancer patients with an initial discovery set of 52 patients, followed by 2 independent test sets (N=60 and N=40). All patients had received adjuvant Tamoxifen as mono-therapy (median clinical follow-up: 4.6 years) and half had developed distant recurrence (median time-to-recurrence: 3.5 years). MiRNA expression was examined by unsupervised hierarchical clustering and supervised analysis, including clinical parameters as co-variables.

Project description:Tamoxifen is an effective anti-estrogen treatment for patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. However, about 30% of such patients receiving tamoxifen as an adjuvant therapy experience recurrence within 15 years, and most patients with advanced disease eventually develop resistance to tamoxifen. To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of tamoxifen resistance, we performed a systematic analysis of miRNA-mediated gene regulation in three clinically-relevant tamoxifen-resistant human breast cancer cell lines (TamRs) compared to their parental tamoxifen-sensitive MCF-7/S0.5 cell line. Alterations in the expression of 131 miRNAs in tamoxifen-resistant vs. parental cell lines were identified, 22 of which were common to all TamRs using both sequencing and LNA-based quantitative PCR technologies. ER+ and tamoxifen sensitive breast cancer cell line (MCF-7/S0.5) and its derived tamoxifen resistant clones: TAMR-1, TAMR-4 and TAMR-8 were miRNA expression profiled in triplicates of each using Exiqon's miRCURY LNA based microRNA Ready-to-use PCR, Human panel I+II, V2.R (Exiqon, product number 203608).

Project description:Retrospective series of primary breast cancer patients who received surgery between 1989 and 1992. Patients received adjuvant chemotherapy and/or adjuvant hormone therapy, or no adjuvant treatment. Tamoxifen was used as endocrine therapy for 5 years in ER+ BC patients. Patients who were <50 years of age, with lymph node positive tumors, or ER– and/or >3 cm in diameter, received adjuvant cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil (CMF) for six cycles, in a thrice weekly intravenous regimen. Patients >50 years of age with ER–, lymph node–positive tumors also received CMF. Retrospective clinical study to identify breast cancer prognostic markers and associated pathways. 210 early primary breast cancers were considered who had complete 10-years follow-up, clinical and demographics information. miRNA profiling data.

Project description:The beneficial effect of the selective estrogen receptor (ER) modulator tamoxifen in the treatment and prevention of breast cancer is assumed to be through its ability to antagonize the stimulatory actions of estrogen, although tamoxifen can also have some estrogen-like agonist effects. Here, we report that, in addition to these mixed agonist/antagonist actions, tamoxifen can also selectively regulate a unique set of >60 genes, which are minimally regulated by estradiol (E2) or raloxifene in ERalpha-positive MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. This gene regulation by tamoxifen is mediated by ERalpha and reversed by E2 or ICI 182,780. Introduction of ERbeta into MCF-7 cells reverses tamoxifen action on approximately 75% of these genes. To examine whether these genes might serve as markers of tamoxifen sensitivity and/or the development of resistance, their expression level was examined in breast cancers of women who had received adjuvant therapy with tamoxifen. High expression of two of the tamoxifen-stimulated genes, YWHAZ/14-3-3z and LOC441453, was found to correlate significantly with disease recurrence following tamoxifen treatment in women with ER-positive cancers and hence seem to be markers of a poor prognosis. Our data indicate a new dimension in tamoxifen action, involving gene expression regulation that is tamoxifen preferential, and identify genes that might serve as markers of tumor responsiveness or resistance to tamoxifen therapy. This may have a potential effect on the choice of tamoxifen versus aromatase inhibitors as adjuvant endocrine therapy.

Project description:MCM3 is one of several genes whose expression profile is markedly altered in tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cell lines. We observed that increased MCM3 expression is associated with tamoxifen resistance. Knockdown of MCM3 resulted in increased susceptibility of tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cell lines. Moreover, MCM3 expression is significantly associated with clinical outcome of endocrine treated receptor positive breast cancer. To understand the effect of MCM3 on the mechanism of endocrine resistance, we performed gene expression array on tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cell lines. Here we show that MCM3 knockdown affects the expression of hundreds of genes. Resistance to endocrine therapy in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer is a major clinical problem with poorly understood mechanisms. There is an unmet need for prognostic and predictive biomarkers to allow appropriate therapeutic targeting. We evaluated the mechanism by which minichromosome maintenance protein 3 (MCM3) influences endocrine resistance and its predictive/prognostic potential in ER+ breast cancer. We discovered that ER+ breast cancer cells survive tamoxifen and letrozole treatments through upregulation of minichromosome maintenance proteins (MCMs), including MCM3, which are key molecules in cell cycle and DNA replication. Lowering MCM3 expression in endocrine-resistant cells restored drug sensitivity and altered phosphorylation of cell cycle regulators, including p53(Ser315,33), CHK1(Ser317) and cdc25b(Ser323), suggesting that the interaction of MCM3 with cell cycle proteins is an important mechanism of overcoming replicative stress and anti-proliferative effects of endocrine treatments. Evaluation of MCM3 levels in primary tumors from four independent cohorts of breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant tamoxifen mono-therapy or no adjuvant treatment, including the Stockholm tamoxifen (STO-3) trial, showed MCM3 to be an independent prognostic adding information beyond Ki67. In addition, MCM3 was shown to be a predictive marker of response to endocrine treatment. Our study reveals a coordinated signaling network centered around MCM3 that limits response to endocrine therapy in ER+ breast cancer and identifies MCM3 as a clinically useful prognostic and predictive biomarker that allows personalized treatment of ER+ breast cancer patients.

Project description:Adjuvant tamoxifen is a valid treatment option for women with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. However, up to 40% of patients experience distant or local recurrence or die. MicroRNAs have been suggested to be important prognosticators in breast cancer. This study aims to identify microRNAs with the potential to predict tamoxifen response. We performed a global microRNA screen in primary tumours of six matched pairs of postmenopausal, ER-positive breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen, who were either recurrence free or had developed a recurrence. Patients were treated at the Robert Bosch Hospital, Stuttgart, Germany, between 1986 and 2005.
