Project description:In ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, multiple measures of intra-tumor heterogeneity are associated with worse response to endocrine therapy. To investigate heterogeneity in response to treatment, we developed an operating room-to-laboratory pipeline for the collection of live human tumors and normal breast specimens immediately after surgical resection for processing into single-cell workflows for experimentation and genomic analyses. We demonstrate differences in tamoxifen response by cell type and identify distinctly responsive and resistant subpopulations within the malignant cell compartment of human tumors. Tamoxifen resistance signatures from 3 distinct resistant subpopulations are prognostic in large cohorts of ER-positive breast cancer patients and enriched in endocrine therapy resistant tumors. This novel ex vivo model system now provides a foundation to define responsive and resistant sub-populations within heterogeneous tumors, to develop precise single cell-based predictors of response to therapy, and to identify genes and pathways driving resistance to therapy.

Project description:The Wnt/beta-catenin signalling pathway plays a central role in mammary stem cell homeostasis and in breast cancer. We employed the CD29hiCD24+ cell surface antigens to identify a subpopulation of mammary CSCs from Apc1572T/+, a mouse model for metaplastic breast adenocarcinoma, a subtype of triple-negative breast cancer in man. The MaCSCs are capable of recapitulating tumorigenesis when transplanted at low multiplicities in vivo, and of forming self-renewing organoids in vitro. Expression profiling of the different subpopulations sorted from normal and neoplastic mammary tissues revealed that the normal stem cell compartment is more similar to tumor cells than to their own differentiated progenies. Accordingly, Wnt signaling was found to be activated in the subpopulation encompassing normal mammary stem cells, though to a lesser degree than in the tumor cells. By comparing normal with cancer mouse mammary compartments, we were able to derive a MaCSC-specific signature composed of human orthologous genes able to predict poor survival, relapse and distant metastasis in human breast cancer. Finally, upon intravenous injection, only MaCSCs among the different tumor cell subpopulations are able to form metastatic lesions in a broad spectrum of anatomical sites. Overall, our data indicate that constitutive Wnt signaling activation interferes with mammary stem cell homeostasis leading to metaplasia and basal-like adenocarcinomas. The objective was to compare the: i) expression profiles between normal adult mammary stem cells and tumor cancer stem cells identified by Lin-CD29hiCD24+; ii) expression profile between adult stem cells and their differentiated counterparts both in normal and in tumor tissue to generate a cancer stem cell signature that can be used to compare with mammary human tumor expression data to predict survival and prognosis. To this aim five independent mammary adenocarcinomas from C57BL6/J Apc+/1572T mice and three independently isolated pools of mammary glands from C57BL6/J Apc+/+ mice were employed to sort 10,000 cells of each of the following populations: Lin-, Lin-CD29+CD24+ and Lin-CD29hiCD24+.

Project description:Five molecular subtypes (Luminal A/B, HER2-enriched, Basal-like, and Claudin-low) with clinical implications have been identified. In this report, we evaluated molecular and phenotypic relationships of a large in vitro panel of human breast cancer cell lines (BCCLs), human mammary fibroblasts (HMFs) and human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs) with (1) breast tumors, (2) normal breast cell-enriched subpopulations and (3) human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC). First, by integrating genomic data of 337 breast samples with 93 cell lines we were able to identify all the intrinsic tumor subtypes in vitro, except for the Luminal A. Secondly, we observed that cell lines recapitulate the differentiation hierarchy observed in the mammary gland, with Claudin-low BCCLs and HMFs cells showing a stromal phenotype, HMECs showing a mammary stem cell/bipotent progenitor phenotype, Basal-like cells showing a luminal progenitor phenotype, and Luminal B cells showing a luminal phenotype. Thirdly, we identified Basal-like and highly migratory Claudin-low subpopulations of cells within a subset of triple-negative BCCLs (SUM149PT, HCC1143 and HCC38). Interestingly, both subpopulations within SUM149PT where found to have Tumor Initiating Cell (TIC) features, but the Basal-like subpopulation grew faster than the Claudin-low subpopulation. Finally, Claudin-low BCCLs were found to resemble the phenotype of hMSCs, whereas hESCs cells were found to have an epithelial phenotype without basal and luminal differentiation. The results presented here should help improve our understanding of the cell line model system through the appropriate pairing of cell lines with relevant in vivo tumor and normal cell counterparts. reference x sample

Project description:The cellular heterogeneity of one patient derived orthotopic breast cancer xenograft model (PDBCX) was investigated using flow cytometry , combined with assessment of in vivo tumorigenicity and whole genome expression profiling. Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) was revealed as a highly specific cell surface marker of the human tumor cell population in both xenografts. Based on expression patterns observed in primary tumor tissue, SSEA-4 and CD24 were chosen as markers to further subdivide the luminal tumor cells into four subpopulations. FACS sorting was used to isolate four cell subpopulations. Results: In vivo tumorigenicity assay showed that SSEA-4+/CD24+ cells were non-tumorigenic, while the three other subpopulations were tumorigenic. Tumors resulting from the SSEA-4+/CD24- subpopulation of luminal cancer cells, did not express CD24, while tumors arising from the SSEA-4-/CD24-, and SSEA-4-/CD24+ populations both recapitulated the original tumor containing all four subpopulations. Whole genome expression analysis revealed distinct transcriptional profiles, and 44 genes were significantly differentially expressed when comparing the tumorigenic vs non-tumorigenic populations. Several interesting genes putatively suppressing the cancer cells ability to initiate tumors in vivo were upregulated in the non-tumorigenic population. We here show that tumor initiating cells within one primary tumor evidently included more than one phenotype. Furthermore, with respect to cell surface marker expression, one of the subpopulations produced tumors unlike both the originating cells, and the original tumor. Discussion: Our results imply that subpopulations from one primary tumor can give rise to dissimilar daughter tumors. These tumors may not necessarily respond to the same targeted treatment, and thereby represent a therapy escape mechanism. This study highlights that to remove the risk of breast cancer recurrence, inhibition of the molecules critical for driving the tumor progression in several tumor cell subpopulations might be essential Gene expression was measured in four cell subpopulations isolated from Patient derived human luminal-like breast cancer xenograft. Four replicates from three subpopulations and three replicates from one subpopulation.
