Project description:Purpose: Compare the tumor outgrowth and immunology of an immunocompetent 4T1- and Py230-based intraductal model for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methods: BALB/c-derived 4T1 and C57BL/6-derived Py230 mammary tumor cells were side-by-side intraductally inoculated in lactating and syngeneic mice, 4T1 and Py230 primary tumors were subsequently resected at 1, 3 and 6 weeks (w) post-inoculation (p.i.), and RNA was isolated from the 4T1 and Py230 primary tumors using in house developed protocols. Results: The differentially expressed genes in the 4T1 versus Py230 primary tumor datasets at the 3 different time points were categorized into 28 hallmark gene sets using GSEA. Nine hallmarks could be related to tumor immunology and collectively showed a decreased difference in expression over time, although every immunology-related gene set remained most expressed in 4T1 primary tumors across all time points. Seven hallmarks could be related to cellular mitosis and tumor progression and were significantly upregulated at 1 w p.i. in 4T1 primary tumors, whereas at 3 w p.i. they became significantly upregulated in Py230 primary tumors, indicative for enhanced Py230 tumor proliferation. The hallmark epithelial-mesenchymal transition was significantly upregulated at 3 w p.i. in 4T1 compared to Py230 primary tumors, indicative for metastatic progression. Gene sets involved in adipose/stromal processes within the mammary gland were downregulated or weakly expressed at 1 w p.i., but became upregulated at 3 w p.i. in 4T1 compared to Py230 primary tumors, indicating that at the time 4T1 tumor cells were less proliferative compared to Py230 tumor cells, the surrounding stroma and fat tissue were more active in the 4T1- compared to the Py230-based intraductal model. The hallmark androgen response also showed a significantly upregulated expression in Py230 tumors at 3 and 6 w p.i., indicating that androgen signaling is important in invasive Py230 tumors. Conclusion: Our findings highlight an innovative 4T1- and Py230-based intraductal mouse model for TNBC with a different tumor outgrowth and associated tumor microenvironment. These differential models may broadly represent the clinically observed TNBC diversity and together provide a powerful tool to evaluate therapeutics.

Project description:To determine the role of the hepatic microenvironment in HCC metastasis, we compared the gene expression profiles of 20 noncancerous surrounding hepatic tissues from two HCC patient groups, those with primary HCC together with venous metastasis which we termed a metastasis-inclined microenvironment (MIM) and those with HCC without detectable metastasis, which we termed a metastasis-averse microenvironment (MAM). There were a total of 20 cDNA microarrays performed, comparing 9 MIM or 11 MAM HCC patient samples to a common reference pool of 8 normal liver tissues.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Low success rates in oncology drug development are prompting re-evaluation of preclinical models, including orthotopic tumor engraftment. In breast cancer models, tumor cells are typically injected into mouse mammary fat pads (MFP). However, this approach bypasses the epithelial microenvironment, potentially altering tumor properties in ways that affect translational application. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Tumors were generated by mammary intraductal (MIND) engraftment of 4T1 carcinoma cells. Growth, histopathology, and molecular features were quantified. RESULTS:Despite growth similar to that of 4T1 MFP tumors, 4T1 MIND tumors exhibit distinct histopathology and increased metastasis. Furthermore, >6,000 transcripts were found to be uniquely up-regulated in 4T1 MIND tumor cells, including genes that drive several cancer hallmarks, in addition to two known therapeutic targets that were not up-regulated in 4T1 MFP tumor cells. CONCLUSION:Engraftment into the epithelial microenvironment generates tumors that more closely recapitulate the complexity of malignancy, suggesting that intraductal adaptation of orthotopic mammary models may be an important step towards improving outcomes in preclinical drug screening and development.

Project description:We recently established an orthotopic breast cancer model of brain metastasis based on the injection of murine breast cancer cell lines into the mammary fat pad. This model is based on the use of 4T1 murine breast carcinoma cells. 4T1-derived tumors recapitulate the main steps of human breast cancer progression, including epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and metastases to lung and lymph nodes. Bioluminescence imaging revealed the appearance of secondary lesions to the lung and lymph nodes and sporadically to the brain. Brain metastases were confirmed by macroscopic and microscopic evaluation of the brains at necropsy. We then isolated brain metastatic cells, re-injected them orthotopically in syngeneic (BALB/c) mice and isolated again cell lines from brain metastatic lesions for two rounds of selection. We obtained a cell line metastasizing to the brain with 100% penetrance (named 4T1-BM2 for Brain Metastasis, 2nd generation). In parallel we derived after two rounds of in vivo growth tumor cell lines from primary tumors (4T1-T2) and from lung metastases (4T1-LM2).

Project description:Metabolic rewiring is essential for breast tumor growth and progression to metastatic disease, yet little is known regarding how cancer cells modify their acquired metabolic programs in response to different metastatic microenvironments. Transcriptional and metabolomic analysis have previously shown that liver-metastatic breast cancer cells adopt an intrinsic metabolic profile characterized by increased HIF-1α activity and dependence on glycolysis. Stable isotope tracing analysis (SITA) performed in vivo confirmed that the glycolytic nature of liver-metastatic breast cancer cells is retained when these cells are grown as primary tumors or as liver metastases. However, our data also reveal that unique metabolic adaptations are specifically induced by the liver microenvironment. Indeed, liver metastases display elevated expression of genes involved in glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) detoxification when compared to primary tumors. Moreover, breast cancer liver metastases rely strongly on glucose and glutamine-derived carbons to support de novo GSH synthesis. Glutathione is a tripeptide that acts as a major scavenger for reactive oxygen species (ROS). Liver metastases display reduced levels of 8-Oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine, confirming their increased capacity to buffer ROS. We demonstrated the dependence of liver metastases formation on these distinct metabolic adaptations by depleting glutamate-cysteine ligase (Gcl), the rate-limiting enzyme in glutathione biosynthesis. Gcl depletion, and decreased GSH levels, strongly reduced the capacity of liver-metastatic cells to form distant metastasis within the liver. We performed gene expression analysis of liver metastasis and primary tumors from liver-metastatic breast cancer cells derived from 4T1 cells. 4T1-2776 (76) and 4T1-2792 (92) cells were injected in the mammary fat pads of BALB/c and grown as primary tumors or were grown as liver metastasis after splenic injection. Tissues were harvested from primary tumors and liver metastasis and submitted to laser-capture microdissection (LCM). For liver metastasis, tumour tissue was harvested at 10 days, 2 weeks and 3 weeks after splenic injection. For each time point, tissue was isolated from the tumor centre (core), a peripheral area of the tumor (margin), a region of the liver proximal to the tumor (adjacent) and a region of the liver far from the tumor (distant). For primary tumors from 4T1-2776 cells (1034, 1036, 1043) and 4T1-2792 (MFP2L, MFP3L, MFP5L) tissue was collected from the tumor core and margin, at the experimental endpoint.

Project description:Novel therapies targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs), which play critical roles in chemo- and radio-resistance, metastasis, and possibly resistance against cancer immunotherapy including granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gene-transduced tumor cell vaccines, may provide beneficial clinical outcomes. Here, we used syngeneic immunocompetent mice that allowed precise evaluation of the immunogenicity of the side population (SP) isolated from 4T1 murine breast carcinoma (4T1-SP) cells as putative CSCs. 4T1-SP cells showed various stem cell properties including high capacities for colony formation and tumorigenicity as well as high expression of phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 and vascular endothelial growth factor that are inductive of immune tolerance. Despite these progressive malignant characteristics of 4T1-SP cells, subcutaneous injection of non-transmissible Sendai virus-mediated GM-CSF gene-transduced 4T1-SP (4T1-SP/GM) cells remarkably impaired their tumorigenicity compared with that of the controls. This impairment of tumorigenicity was partially dependent on CD8+ T cells in concert with CD4+ T cells and natural killer cells. Notably, therapeutic vaccinations using irradiated 4T1-SP/GM cells markedly suppressed tumor development of subcutaneously transplanted 4T1-SP cells compared with that of the controls including irradiated 4T1-non-SP/GM cells. Tumor suppression was accompanied by robust accumulation of mature dendritic cells at vaccination sites and systemic Th1-based cellular immunity. Moreover, vaccinations comprising primary 4T1-SP cells isolated from transplanted 4T1-SP tumors elicited antitumor effects. cDNA microarray analysis showed that 4T1-SP cells predominantly expressed genes of cancer-related antigens including cancer/testis antigens. Collectively, we demonstrate that SP cell-based vaccinations induce effective antitumor immunity that may improve the efficacy of SP cell-based immunotherapy. Gene expression profiles were compared between sorted 4T1-SP and 4T1-NSP cells.
