The gene expression response of MCF7 and MDAMB231 to glutamine deprivation

ABSTRACT: There are two major subtype of cells in breast cancer. These cancer cells response differently to glutamine deprivation, here we use one luminal type of breast cancer cell (MCF7) and one basal type of breast cancer cell (MDAMB231) to compare the gene expression differences of these two types of cancer cells in glutamine deprivation. Many cancer cells depend on glutamine for survival and oncogenic transformation. Although targeting glutamine metabolism is proposed as novel therapies, their heterogeneity among different tumors is unknown. Here, we found only basal-type, but not luminal-type breast cancer cells, exhibited phenotypes of glutamine dependency and may benefit from glutamine-targeting therapeutics. The glutamine independence of luminal-type cells is caused by the specific expression of glutamine synthetase (GS), a pattern recapitulated in luminal breast cancers. The co-culture of luminal cells partially rescued the basal cells under glutamine deprivation, suggesting glutamine symbiosis. The luminal-specific expression of GS is directly induced GATA3 and down-regulates glutaminase expression to maintain subtype-specific glutamine metabolism. Collectively, these data indicate the distinct glutamine phenotypes among breast cells and enable the rational design of glutamine targeted therapies.

Project description:Recurrent mutations in histone modifying enzymes in multiple cancer types imply key roles in tumorigenesis. However, the functional relevance of these mutations remains unknown. Here we show that the JARID1B histone H3 lysine 4 demethylase is frequently amplified and overexpressed in luminal breast tumors and a somatic point mutation of JARID1B leads to the gain of luminal-specific gene expression programs. Downregulation of JARID1B in luminal breast cancer cells induces the expression of basal cell-specific genes and growth arrest, which is partially rescued by the inhibition of TGFBR thereby indicating a key role for TGFb signaling. Integrated genome-wide analysis of JARID1B chromatin binding, histone H3 lysine trimethyl (H3K4me3) and dimethyl (H3K4me2) patterns, and gene expression profiles in luminal and basal-like breast cancer cells suggest a key role for JARID1B in luminal cell-specific gene expression programs. A significant fraction of JARID1B binding-sites overlaps with CTCF in both luminal and basal-like breast cancer cells. CTCF also co-immunoprecipitates with JARID1B and it may influence its histone demethylase (HDM) activity as the H3K4me3/me2 ratio is lower at the CTCF-overlapping compared to JARID1B-unique sites. Additionally, a heterozygous JARID1B missense mutation (K1435R) in the HCC2157 basal-like breast cancer cell line is associated with unique JARID1B chromatin-binding and gene expression patterns implying gain of luminal features. In line with this, exogenous expression of this mutant in basal-like breast cancer cells leads to a gain of JARID1B binding at many luminal-specific genes. A PARADIGM score reflecting JARID1B activity in luminal breast cancer cells is associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with luminal breast tumors. Together, our data imply that JARID1B is a luminal lineage-driving oncogene and that its therapeutic targeting may represent a novel therapeutic strategy in treatment-resistant luminal breast tumors.
