Project description:E4F1 is a ubiquitously expressed zinc-finger protein of the Gli-Kruppel family that was first identified, more than 30 years ago, as a cellular target of the adenoviral oncoprotein E1A13S (Ad type V), required for transcriptional regulation of adenoviral genes. In order to decipher E4F1 cellular target genes, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation of endogenous E4F1 in SUM159 triple negative breast cancer cell line. Both input and immunoprecipitated DNA of two independant experiments were exhaustively sequenced and mapped on the human genome (hg38). Peak detection has been achieved with the HOMER suite algorithms.

In this study we investigated the impact of direct translational target genes on DNA damage response induced by Gemcitabine. To do so, we performed RNAseq SUM159 triple negative breast cancer cell line. SUM159 was tranfected either with shE4F1 OR shscramble treated or not with Gemcitabine for 24 hours.
Project description:Three triple negative breast cancer cell lines (MDAMB231, SUM159, and HCC1806) were treated with small molecule inhibitors (JQ1, BET bromodomain inhibitor; GSK2801, BAZ2A/B bromodomain inhibitor) alone and in combination for 72 hours
Project description:We used a transmitochondrial cybrid (cybrids)-based discovery approach to identify mitochondria-regulated cancer pathways in TN BCa. Cybrids were generated under a moderately metastatic TN BCa cell line SUM159 as the common nuclear background with mitochondria from benign breast epithelium (A1N4) and moderately metastatic (SUM159) TN BCa cells. In vitro and in vivo studies suggested that even under the common moderately cancerous nuclear background, mitochondria from benign cells inhibit and metastatic cell induce cancer properties of a moderately aggressive TN BCa cell. Gene expression studies identified c-Src onco-pathway as one of the major cancer pathways altered according to the mitochondria status of the cybrids. SUM159 Ï0 cells were used as nuclear donor and A1N4 and SUM 159 cells were used as mitochondrial donor cells. The two groups were profiled for gene expression using microarrays. two group comparison (159/SUM159 vs A1/SUM159)

Project description:The testis protein ZNF165 is aberrantly expressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), where it modulates TGFβ signaling to promote tumor growth and survival. To investigate whether ZNF165 functions in this capacity via cooperation with SMAD3, a canonical TGFβ-induced transcription factor, we performed ChIP-seq for both factors in TNBC cell lines (WHIM12 and SUM159). Additionally, we established genomic binding profiles for ZNF446, a previously uncharacterized transcription factor that we have identified as a member of a ZNF165-SMAD3 complex.
Project description:We identified sensory nerves as more abundant in triple-negative human breast tumors. Human triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells (MDA-MB-231, SUM159) were co-cultured with mice primary sensory neurons from dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Breast can-cer cells were found to attach to neurons and have higher migration speed and prolifera-tion rate. Species-specific RNA sequencing highlighted cell migration and adhesion among the most upregulated pathways for cancer cells in coculture. We identified a novel mechanism where cancer’s PlexinB3 interacted with neuron’s Sema5A to regulate attachment and migration along nerve fibers. These findings demonstrate that sensory nerves induced a drastic shift in TNBC cells gene expression, and that dirupting the nerve-cancer is a viable strategy to impede metastasis
