Project description:Tamoxifen treatment in breast cancer patients increases their risk of developing uterine cancer that is more likely of poor prognosis. However, the exact mechanism leading to this increased and the worse outcomeendometrial cancer risk following tamoxifen exposure are still unknown, and effective preventive strategies are lacking. To address this question, we performed whole-exome sequencing of 21 (discovery cohort) and digital droplet PCR for 40 (validation cohort ) tamoxifen-associated uterine cancers. We identified genomic features that have been previously reported for uterine cancer, including recurrent mutations in PTEN, KRAS, TP53 and ARIDA1 and copy number alterations in the RTK and PI3K pathway. However, we also found that tamoxifen-associated uterine cancers have a substantially low frequency of PIK3CA and PIK3R1 mutations, the most prevalent mutations in non-tamoxifen-associated uterine cancers. Moreover, overall survival is significantly worse in uterine tumors without PIK3CA mutations, which could explain the observed poor prognosis in tamoxifen-associated uterine cancers . We also performed in vivo studies of normal uterine tissue and show that tamoxifen activates the PI3Kinase pathway and increases proliferation that in turn is abrogated by the PI3Kinase inhibitor, alpelisib. Together, this study uncovers the unique molecular profile of tamoxifen-associated uterine cancer and , offers mechanistic insights in the observed increase in endometrial cancer risk following tamoxifen treatment and a potential preventive approach. Moreover, we here describe for the first time a new general principle that a drug, as a side effect, can activate a pathway which would otherwise only be activated if a somatic mutation would have occurred thereby mimicking the effect of a driver mutation for cancer.

Project description:Gene targeting was carried out by Taconic Artemis (Cologne, Germany) to introduce a point mutation resulting in conversion of CAT (H) to CGT (R) in the C-terminal p110α kinase domain, and a neo selection cassette flanked by frt sites (publication doi: 10.1038/s41467-017-02002-4). MEFs were made from PIK3CA-H1047R/WT and PIK3CA-WT/WT E13.5 embryos (4 independent MEFs per genotype), treated with 1 μM 4-OHT for one day and gathered 48h after the start of 4-OHT induction were subjected to mRNA sequencing to determine changes in gene expression upon short term PIK3CA activation in the absence of other transforming mutations. PIK3CA-H1047R/WT MEFS exhibited altered expression of 71 genes (q cutoff <0.05).

Project description:Tamoxifen, an antagonist to estrogen receptor (ER), is a first line drug used in breast cancer treatment. However, this therapy is complicated by the fact that a substantial number of patients exhibit either de novo or acquired resistance. To characterize the signaling mechanisms underlying the resistance to tamoxifen, we established a tamoxifen-resistant cell line by treating the MCF7 breast cancer cell line with tamoxifen for over 6 months. We showed that this cell line exhibited resistance to tamoxifen both in vitro and in vivo. In order to quantify the phosphorylation alterations associated with tamoxifen resistance, we performed SILAC-based quantitative phosphoproteomic profiling on the resistant and vehicle-treated sensitive cell lines where we identified >5,600 unique phosphopeptides. We found phosphorylation levels of 1,529 peptides were increased (>2 fold) and 409 peptides were decreased (<0.5-fold) in tamoxifen resistant cells compared to tamoxifen sensitive cells. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that focal adhesion pathway was the top enriched signaling pathway activated in tamoxifen resistant cells. We observed hyperphosphorylation of the focal adhesion kinases FAK1 and FAK2 in the tamoxifen resistant cells. Of note, FAK2 was not only hyperphosphorylated but also transcriptionally upregulated in tamoxifen resistant cells. Suppression of FAK2 by specific siRNA knockdown could sensitize the resistant cells to the treatment of tamoxifen. We further showed that inhibiting FAK activity using the small molecule inhibitor PF562271 repressed cellular proliferation in vitro and tumor formation in vivo. More importantly, our survival analysis revealed that high expression of FAK2 significantly associated with short metastasis-free survival of ER-positive breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen-based hormone therapy. Our studies suggest that FAK2 is a great potential target for the development of therapy for the treatment of hormone refractory breast cancers.

Project description:Gene expression microarray analyses of PIK3CA H1047R and E545K induced preneoplastic lesions and tumors compared to age matched controls. Plasmids expressing oncogenic forms of PIK3CA (H1047R or E545K mutants) were delivered to the mouse liver by tail vein hydrodynamic injection combined with Sleeping Beauty–mediated somatic integration (SBT-HTVI). Resulting preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions were subjected to gene expression microarray analysis. The putative PIK3CA target gene Galectin1 (Gal1) was further characterized by in vitro studies. Transfection of either PIK3CA E545K or H1047R mutants via SBT-HTVI was sufficient to induce hepatocellular carcinomas in mice. A stepwise hepatocarcinogenesis from singular pericentral lipid-rich preneoplastic hepatocytes to clusters, expansive preneoplastic lesions, and HCCs was observed. In PIK3CA H1047R injected mice, HCCs were detected in the 12 months injection group, while PIK3CA E545K injections resulted in tumor occurrence as early as 3 months after SB-HTVI. Histologically, a predominant lipid-rich phenotype characterized all tumorigenesis stages, as confirmed by Sudan III staining and electron microscopy. Immunohistochemically, preneoplastic lesions and tumors displayed high levels of the lipid master regulators Fatty acid synthase and Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1. Gal1 was commonly overexpressed in PIK3CA-driven preneoplastic and neoplastic liver lesions by gene expression microarray analysis compared with age-matched controls.

Project description:Mutant PIK3CA and Her2 genes are oncogenic and their co-existence in breast cancer has been well identified. However, the gene targets and cell signalling pathway regulated by mutant PIK3CA, Her2 and both of PIK3CA and Her2 have not been well studied. We established stable cell models through transfecting mutant PIK3CA, Her2 and both mutant PIK3CA and Her2 into MCF10A cells and performed Affymetrix microarray to identify downstream target genes controlled by either mutant PIK3CA, Her2 or both PIK3CA and Her2.

Project description:Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer in women and consists of heterogeneous types of tumours that are classified into different histological and molecular subtypes1-3. Pik3ca and p53 are the two most frequently mutated genes and are associated with different types of human breast cancers4. The cellular origin and the mechanisms leading to Pik3ca-induced tumour heterogeneity remain unknown. Here, we used a genetic approach in mice to define the cellular origin of Pik3ca-derived tumours and its impact on tumour heterogeneity. Surprisingly, oncogenic Pik3ca-H1047R expression at physiological levels5 in basal cells (BCs) using K5CREERT2 induced the formation of luminal ER+PR+ tumours, while its expression in luminal cells (LCs) using K8CREERT2 gave rise to luminal ER+PR+ tumours or basal-like ER-PR- tumours. Concomitant deletion of p53 and expression of Pik3ca-H1047R accelerated tumour development and induced more aggressive mammary tumours. Interestingly, expression of Pik3ca-H1047R in unipotent BCs gave rise to luminal-like cells, while its expression in unipotent LCs gave rise to basal-like cells before progressing into invasive tumours. Transcriptional profiling of cells that have undergone cell fate transition upon Pik3ca-H1047R expression in unipotent progenitors demonstrate a profound oncogene-induced reprogramming of these newly formed cells and identified gene signatures, characteristic of the different cell fate switches that occur upon Pik3ca-H1047R expression in BC and LCs, which correlated with the cell of origin, tumour type and different clinical outcomes. Altogether our study identifies the cellular origin of Pik3ca-induced tumours and reveals that oncogenic Pik3ca-H1047R activates a multipotent genetic program in normally lineage-restricted populations at the early stage of tumour initiation, setting the stage for future intratumoural heterogeneity. These results have important implications for our understanding of the mechanisms controlling tumour heterogeneity and the development of new strategies to block PIK3CA breast cancer initiation. Luminal and basal cells, or tumour cells, from mice in which expression of PIK3CA-H1047R and YFP (and in some conditions loss of p53) was targeted in basal cells using K5CREERT2 or in luminal cells using K8CREERT2 were FACS isolated and RNA was extracted before being hybridized Affymetrix microarrays.
