Project description:Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a heterogeneous, pre-invasive lesion associated with an increased risk for future invasive ductal carcinoma. However, accurate risk stratification for development of invasive disease and appropriate treatment decisions remain clinical challenges. DNA methylation alterations are recognized to be early events in the progression of cancer and represent emerging molecular markers that may predict invasive recurrence more accurately than traditional measures of DCIS prognosis. We measured DNA methylation of DCIS (n=40) and adjacent normal (n=15) tissues using the Illumina HumanMethylation450 array. We identified locus-specific methylation differences between DCIS and matched adjacent-normal tissue (95,609 CpGs, Q < 0.05). Among 40 DCIS cases 13 later developed invasive disease and we identified 641 CpG sites that exhibited differential DNA methylation (P < 0.01 and medianúΔβú > 0.1) in these cases compared with age-matched subjects without invasive disease over a similar follow up period. The set of differentially methylated CpG loci associated with disease progression was enriched in homeobox-containing genes (P = 1.3E-9) and genes involved with limb morphogenesis (P = 1.0E-05). In an independent cohort, a subset of genes with progression-related differential methylation between DCIS and invasive breast cancer were confirmed. Further, the functional relevance of these genes’ regulation by methylation was demonstrated in early stage breast cancers from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. This work contributes to the understanding of epigenetic alterations that occur in DCIS and illustrates the potential of DNA methylation as markers of DCIS progression.
Project description:This study identifies progression in breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) as it progresses towards triple negative invasive breast cancer (TNBC). Bulk DNA arrayCGH was performed on the C3Tag genetically engineered mouse model that forms human breast-like DCIS and TNBC.

Project description:This is a matched-pair analysis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive component (IDC) of nine breast ductal carcinoma to identify novel molecular markers characterizing the transition from DCIS to IDC for a better understanding of its molecular biology.
Project description:Analysis of gene expression changes in tumour epithelium (DCIS and invasive breast cancer) and stroma both immediately surrounding the lesions and more distantly. Total RNA obtained from Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded archival material and the individual compartments (stroma and epithelium) compared independently across the samples. Sample abbreviation key: BC = breast cancer DCIS = ductal carcinoma in situ IDC = invasive ductal carcinoma RM = remote metastasis S = stroma NS = near stroma.
Project description:<p>This study comprises prospectively accrued, microdissected fresh frozen samples of multifocal lobular carcinoma <i>in situ</i> (LCIS), ductal carcinoma <i>in situ</i> (DCIS), invasive lobular carcinoma and invasive ductal carcinoma from patients undergoing prophylactic or therapeutic mastectomies after a diagnosis on LCIS diagnosed and managed at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). Microdissected samples were subjected to paired-end whole exome sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 2000. The data generated were used to define the landscape of somatic genetic alterations of LCIS, DCIS, invasive lobular carcinoma and invasive ductal carcinoma, to define clonal relatedness of these lesions and to investigate the clonal shifts in the progression from <i>in situ</i> to invasive breast cancer.</p>
