Project description:Accumulating evidence suggests that the androgen receptor (AR) and its endogenous ligands influence disease progression in breast cancer (BCa). However, AR-mediated changes in BCa differ among the various BCa subtypes according to their hormone receptor profile (i.e presence/absence of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, (HER2)). Thus, we explored the androgen-regulated transcriptomic changes in the ER+PR+HER2+ BCa cell line, BT-474, and compared them with PR-mediated changes. Methods: We performed RNA sequencing analysis, in treated BT-474 cells with dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and progesterone (PROG). Validation of the top ten differentially androgen-regulated genes and a number of other genes found in enriched signaling pathways was performed by qRT-PCR in BT-474 and other BCa cell lines. A parallel reaction monitoring targeted proteomic approach was developed for the verification of selected transcripts at the protein level. Results: We detected 19,450 transcripts, of which 224 were differentially regulated after DHT treatment. The increased expression of two well-known androgen-regulated genes, KLK2 (p<0.05) and KLK3 (p<0.001), confirmed the successful androgen stimulation in BT-474 cells. The transcription factor, ZBTB16, was the most highly upregulated gene, with ~1000-fold change (p<0.001). Pathway enrichment analysis revealed downregulation of the DNA replication processes (p<0.05), and upregulation of the androgen signaling and fatty acid metabolism pathways (p<0.05). Changes related to PROG-treatment showed opposite effects in gene expression than DHT treatment. Similar expression profiles were observed among other BCa cell lines expressing high levels of AR (ZR75.1 and MBA-MB-453). The parallel reaction monitoring targeted proteomic analysis further confirmed that altered protein expression (e.g. KLK3, and ALOX15B) in the supernatant and cell lysate of DHT-treated BT-474 cells, compared to control cells. Discussion: Collectively, our findings suggest that AR modulates the metabolism of BT-474 cells by affecting expression of a large number of genes and proteins. Based on further pathway analysis, we suggest that AR acts as a tumor suppressor in BT-474 cells.
Project description:`Triple positive` BT-474 breast cancer cells were treated with anti-cancer compounds, Tamoxifen and Trastuzumab, and the metabolome and proteome analysed by LC-MS/MS using a timsTOF.
Project description:Multiple-condition experiment was desinged to be any number of conditions in an experiment without replicate observations for microarray and used to identify genes differentially expressed between different pairs of conditions (treatments).<br> In this study we used breast cancer stable cell lines for overexpressing and silencing annexin A1 (ANXA1), which belongs to a family of -dependent phospholipid binding proteins and are preferentially located on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. Cell lines overexpressing ANXA1 (MDA_MB-453/cDNA) were generated by introducing retroviral vectors containing ANXA1 cDNA (pBabe/ANXA1 cDNA) into breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-453 (a low expressor of ANXA1). Breast cancer cell line BT-474, a high expressor of ANXA1, was infected with ANXA1 siRNA-plasmid viruses to knockdown ANAXAI expressor (BT-474/siRNA) where nucleotides corresponding to siRNA were synthesized and ligated into the pLNCX retroviral vector [35,36]. We also used a pLNCX/U6 empty vector to infect BT-474 and obtained an empty vector expressor. Therefore, 5 breast cancer cell lines (MDA_MB-453, MDA_MB-453/cDNA, BT-474, BT-474/siRNA, and BT-474/U6) are attributed to two genotypes: MDA_MB-453 and BT-474. MCE was performed for microarray analysis with these 5 breast cancer cell lines, that is, only one sample was drawn from each breast cancer cell line.
Project description:We report single-cell RNA-sequencing data of wild type, breast cancer cells MCF7 and BT-474. Single cells were isolated using the F.SIGHT single cell dispenser. cNDA synthesis and library preparation were down-scaled to 1/10 of original reaction volumes. By comparative UMAP clustering we could show that our MCF7-cluster exactly overlapped with sequencing data from GSE151334. Data was analyzed using three common alignment tools: salmon, kallisto and STAR. DE analysis was performed with inputs from each aligner. We proved the overexpression of ErbB2 in BT-474 compared to MCF7 in all cases.
Project description:We report the chromatin binding sites of HOXB7 transcription factor in BT-474 breast cancer cell line using ChIP-sequencing. We validated the chromatin binding sites in BT-474, MDA-MB-361, MCF7 and T-47D breast cancer cell lines using ChIP-qPCR. The ChIP experiments have been performed using HOXB7 antibody and IgG non-specific antibody as a negative control. The direct downstream target genes of HOXB7 were identified by analyzing the expression of genes located nearby HOXB7 binding sites in HOXB7 knockdown versus control cells using qRT-PCR. Examination of chromatin binding sites of HOXB7 in BT-474 breast cancer cell line using ChIP-seq. Four parallel IgG samples were sequenced, merged together and used as a control data set. Two parallel HOXB7 ChIP samples were sequenced and merged for each replicate, AF1 and AF2. Both HOXB7 ChIP replicates (AF1 and AF2) contained approximately the same amount of reads as the merged IgG control data set.
Project description:RNA-Seq analysis was carried out to investigate the transcriptomic changes associated with the development of in vivo everolimus resistance and the effects of CDK8/19 inhibition on the development of resistance in MDA-MB-468 TNBC xenografts. In one study (short-term), tumor samples were collected after 30-40 days of treatment with vehicle or everolimus, when the tumor growth was still suppressed by the mTOR inhibitor. In another study (long-term), tumor samples were collected after 60-153 days of treatment with vehicle, everolimus, CDK8/19 inhibitor SNX631 or their combination, when tumors treated with everolimus but not with the drug combination developed resistance.
