Project description:Recent genetic studies in mice have established a key role for the nuclear receptor coregulator Trim24 in liver tumor suppression and provided evidence that Trim24 suppresses hepatocarcinogenesis by inhibiting retinoic acid receptor alpha (Rara)-dependent transcription and cell proliferation. However, it is unknown which downstream targets of Rara regulated by Trim24 are critical for tumorigenesis. We report here that loss of Trim24 results in the overexpression of interferon (IFN)/STAT pathway genes in the liver, a process that occurs early in tumorigenesis and is more pronounced in tumors, despite the enhanced expression, late in the disease, of negative regulators such as Usp18, Socs1 and Socs2. Remarkably, Rara haplodeficiency, which was previously shown to suppress tumor development in Trim24-/- mice, also suppresses overexpression of the IFN/STAT pathway, thus providing evidence for a cross-pathway control that may be relevant to the transformation process. Biochemical studies revealed that Trim24 binds to the retinoic acid (RA)-responsive element in the Stat1 promoter in a RA-dependent manner and represses RA-induced transcription from this promoter. Together, these results identify Trim24 as a novel regulator of the IFN/STAT pathway and indicate that Trim24-mediated repression of the IFN/STAT signaling through Rara inhibition may play a critical role in preventing liver cancer. Generation of Trim24-/- mice has been described previously (Khetchoumian et al., 2007) by gene disruption. To generate compound mutant mice with a single allele of Rara deleted in the Trim24 -/- mutant background, we crossed Trim24 -/- mice with Rara+/- mice. The resulting Trim24+/- Rara+/- mice were generated in the hybrid (C57BL/6 (60%), 129/Sv (40%)) genetic background. These double heterozygous Trim24+/- Rara+/- mice were intercrossed to generate Trim24 -/-, Trim24 -/- Rara+/- and wild-type mice. Transcriptional profiling of mice at 5-weeks and 14-weeks of age.

Project description:Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MpBC) typically consists of carcinoma of no special type (NST) with various metaplastic components. The intracase transcriptomic alterations between metaplastic components and paired NST components, which are critical for understanding the pathogenesis underlying the metaplastic processes, remain unclear. Herein, 59 NST components and paired metaplastic components (spindle sarcomatous [SPS], matrix-producing, rhabdomyoid [RHA], and squamous carcinomatous [SQC] components) were microdissected from specimens obtained from 27 patients with MpBC for gene expression profiling. Hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis revealed a heterogeneous gene expression profile (GEP) corresponding to the NST components, but the GEP of metaplastic components exhibited subtype dependence. Compared with the paired NST components, the SPS components demonstrated the upregulation of genes related to stem cells and epithelial–mesenchymal transition, and displayed enrichment in claudin-low and macrophage signatures. Despite certain overlap in the enriched functions and signatures between the RHA and SPS components, the specific differentially expressed genes differed. We observed the RHA-specific upregulation of genes associated with vascular endothelial growth factor signaling. The chondroid matrix-producing components demonstrated the upregulation of hypoxia-related genes and the downregulation of the immune-related MHC2 signature and the TIGIT gene. In the SQC components, TGF-β and genes associated with cell adhesion were upregulated. The differentially expressed genes among metaplastic components in the 22 MpBC cases with one or predominantly one metaplastic component clustered paired NST samples into clusters with correlation with their associated metaplastic types. These genes could be used to separate the 31 metaplastic components according to respective metaplastic types with an accuracy of 74.2%, suggesting that intrinsic signatures of NST may determine paired metaplastic type. The EMT activity and stem cell traits in the NST components were correlated with specimens displaying lymph node metastasis. In summary, we presented the distinct transcriptomic alterations underlying metaplasia into specific metaplastic components in MpBCs.
