Project description:Comparisons among breast cancer metastases at different organs revealed distinct microenvironments as characterized by cytokine content. Such microenvironment distinction might be important to dictate how the cancer cells adapt to survival before they successfully colonize. Experiment Overall Design: 58 breast cancer metastases from different organs were profiled and compared by the expression level of over 400 cytokines. 36 samples were incuded in this series. 22 others as well as 7 of these 36 were profiled on U133plus2 platforms and included in series GSE14017.

Project description:The distinction between primary and secondary ovarian tumors may be challenging for pathologists. We performed transcriptomic analysis in order to discriminate between primary ovarian tumors and ovarian metastases after primary breast cancer. We performed genomic analysis on tumor paired samples (breast/ovary) in order to know if genomic profiles could help for the discrimination of primary ovarian tumors and ovarian metastases after primary breast cancer.

Project description:Lymph node involvement is a major prognostic variable in breast cancer. Whether the molecular mechanisms that drive breast cancer cells to colonize lymph nodes are shared with their capacity to form distant metastases is yet to be established. In a transcriptomic survey aimed at identifying molecular factors associated with lymph node involvement of ductal breast cancer, we found that luminal differentiation, assessed by the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) and GATA3, was only infrequently lost in node-positive primary tumors and in matched lymph node metastases. The transcription factor GATA3 critically determines luminal lineage specification of mammary epithelium and is widely considered a tumor and metastasis suppressor in breast cancer. Strong expression of GATA3 and ER in a majority of primary node-positive ductal breast cancer was corroborated by quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry in the initial sample set, and by immunohistochemistry in an additional set from 167 patients diagnosed of node-negative and positive primary infiltrating ductal breast cancer, including 102 samples from loco-regional lymph node metastases matched to their primary tumors, as well as 37 distant metastases. These observations suggest that loss of luminal differentiation is not a major factor driving the ability of breast cancer cells to colonize regional lymph nodes. The transcriptomic study comprises 16 samples from Lymph node metastasis from infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma, 18 samples from Primary node-positive infiltrating ductal,7 samples from Primary node-negative infiltrating ductal and 3 samples from Unaffected lymph node were included. Their RNA was isolated and prepared for hybridization to human Affymetrix GeneChip arrays.

Project description:Breast cancer metastases develop in the bone more frequently than any other site, and are a common cause of morbidity in the form of bone pain, pathological fractures, nerve compression, and life-threatening hypercalcemia. Despite ongoing research efforts, the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate breast cancer cell homing to and colonization of the bone as well as resultant pathological bone alteration remain poorly understood. To identify key mediators promoting breast cancer metastasis to bone, we utilized an immunocompetent, syngeneic murine model of breast cancer metastasis employing the mammary tumor cell line NT2.5. Following intracardiac injection of NT2.5 cells in neu-N mice, metastases developed in the bone, liver, and lung, closely mimicking the anatomical distribution of metastases in breast cancer patients. Using an in vivo selection process, we established NT2.5 sub-lines demonstrating an enhanced ability to colonize the bone and liver. Genome-wide cDNA microarray analysis comparing gene expression between parental NT2.5 cells and established sub-lines was performed. Individual samples of RNA from parental NT2.5 cells, early passage (BO3 and LI1) sub-lines, and final passage (BO6 and LI3) sub-lines were compared using GeneChip® Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays
