Project description:Retinoids have been used as potential chemotherapeutic or chemo-preventive agents because of their differentiation, anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic, and anti-oxidant effects. We investigated the effect of all trans- retinoic acid (ATRA) at different stages of the neoplastic transformation using an in vitro model of breast cancer progression. This model was previously developed by treating the human normal-like breast epithelial MCF-10F cells with high dose of estradiol and consist of five cell lines which shown a progressive neoplastic transformation: MCF-10F (normal stage), trMCF (premalignant stage), bsMCF (invasive stage) and caMCF (tumorigenic stage). In 3D-cultures, MCF-10F cells form tubules resembling the normal mammary gland although after treatment with high doses of estradiol, trMCF cells, formed tubules and, spherical masses which are an indication of cell transformation. By ring cloning, trMCF clone 11 which only formed spherical masses in collagen was isolated. Our results showed that the early transformed trMCF clone 11 cells shown a reduction of spherical masses and increased of tubules in collagen after being treated with 10-5M (10µM) and 10-6M (1µM) ATRA; the number of tubules was higher in cells treated with 10-6M ATRA (43% vs. 10% tubules). The invasive bsMCF and tumorigenic caMCF cells did not shown any changes in morphology after ATRA treatment. Analysis of expression studies in early transformed cells treated with 10-6M ATRA showed that 271 probes upregulated in trMCF clone 11 cells were downregulated after ATRA treatment and, 316 probes that were downregulated were upregulated after ATRA treatment in these cells to similar levels than the normal breast epithelial cells MCF-10F. These genes were involved in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling, RAR Activation, xenobiotic metabolisms signaling, molecular mechanisms of cancer and cell morphology. Our results shown that ATRA was able to re-differentiate transformed cells at early stages of the neoplastic process suggesting that ATRA could potentially be used to inhibit the progression of premalignant lesions of the breast such as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).

Project description:Xenoestrogens are part of a group of agents termed endocrine disruptors because of their capacity to perturb normal hormonal actions. It has been suggested that xenoestrogens may contribute to the development of hormone-dependent cancers, such as breast and endometrial cancers. Bisphenol A (BPA) is polymerized to manufacture polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins. Human exposure occurs when BPA leaches from plastic-lined food and beverage cans. In the present work we are aiming to determine if BPA has carcinogenic properties by using an in vitro system. For this purpose the human breast epithelial cells MCF-10F were treated with 10-3M to 10-9M BPA continuously for two weeks. The MCF-10F cells treated with 10-3M and 10-4M BPA died, indicating that these concentrations were toxic for the human breast epithelial cells. The cells treated with 10-5M to 10-9M BPA were evaluated for formation of solid masses in collagen and invasion capacity, both phenotypes that are indicators of cell transformation. MCF-10F treated with 10-5M, 10-6M, 10-7M, 10-8M and 10-9M BPA formed a high percentage of solid masses (34.6%, 20%, 42.4%, 31.8% and 32.2%, respectively). Ten passages after BPA treatments, the invasive capacities of the cells were evaluated using Boyden chambers. The invasion capacity was lower in the cells treated at high concentrations of BPA (10-5M and 10-6M), and there was an increased invasion for the cells treated at low BPA concentration (10-9M) although, in all the cases the differences were not significant to the controls. Expression and DNA methylation analyses were performed with the cells treated with 10-5M and 10-6M BPA. We found that these cells showed an increased expression of BRCA1, BARD1, CtIP, RAD51 and BRCC3, all genes involved in DNA repair, and downregulation of PDCD5 and BCL2L11 (also known as BIM), both involved in apoptosis. The upregulation of CtIP was related to hypomethylation of the promoter/exon1 of this gene. Furthermore, BPA induced silencing of BCL2L11 by hypermethylation. This is the first demonstration that BPA induces neoplastic transformation of breast epithelial cells and that aberrant DNA methylation of genes involved in DNA repair and apoptosis could be involved in the initiation of the neoplastic process. MCF-10F, a normal-like human breast epithelial cell (HBEC) line that is ERalpha-negative PR-negative, was maintained in high-calcium medium at 37°C and 5% CO2 until confluent. These cells were treated with different concentrations of BPA continuously for two weeks, adding fresh media every day. As controls, MCF-10F cells were not treated and maintained in the regular media or treated with 0.284% DMSO (vehicle). The cells treated with 10-5M or 10-6M BPA after the invasion assay were collected and expanded during 6 passages. RNA was isolated from the cells using an RNA extraction kit (Qiagen).

Project description:The estrogen-dependence of breast cancer has long been recognized, however, the role of 17β-estradiol (E2) in cancer initiation was not known until we demonstrated that it induces complete neoplastic transformation of the human breast epithelial cells MCF-10F. E2-treatment of MCF-10F cells progressively induced high colony efficiency and loss of ductulogenesis in early transformed (trMCF) cells and invasiveness in Matrigel invasion chambers. The cells that; crossed the chamber membrane were collected and identified as bsMCF, and their subclones designated bcMCF, and the cells harvested from carcinoma formation in SCID mice designated caMCF. These phenotypes correlated with gene dysregulation during the progression of the ; transformation. The highest number of dysregulated genes was observed in caMCF, being slightly lower in bcMCF, and lowest in trMCF. This order was consistent with the extent of chromosome aberrations (caMCF > bcMCF >>> trMCF). Chromosomal amplifications were found in 1p36.12-pter, 5q21.1-qter and 13q21.31-qter. Losses of the complete chromosome 4 and 8p11.21-23.1 were found only in tumorigenic cells. In tumor-derived cell lines, additional losses were found in 3p12.1-14.1, 9p22.1-pter and 18q11.21-qter. Functional profiling of dysregulated genes revealed progressive changes in the integrin signaling pathway, inhibition of apoptosis, acquisition of tumorigenic cell surface markers and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. In tumorigenic cells, the levels of E-cadherin, EMA, and various keratins were low and CD44E/CD24 were negative, whereas SNAI2, vimentin, S100A4, FN1, HRAS, TGFβ1 and; CD44H were high. The phenotypic and genomic changes triggered by estrogen exposure that lead normal cells to tumorigenesis confirm the role of this steroid hormone in cancer initiation. Experiment Overall Design: Human MCF-10F cells were transformed by 70nM 17-beta-estradiol. The transformed cells were selected by Boyden chamber. The selected cells were injected into SCID mice and also cloned and expanded. The thus grown tumors were harvested for cell culture. Genomic DNA and total RNA were isolated from cell lines in each step for 100K SNP and gene expression microarray assay.

Project description:Exposure to genotoxic stresses such as cosmic radiation and second-hand tobacco smoke may increase the risk of breast cancer formation. Towards an understanding of how exposure to these genotoxic agents affect breast cancer biogenesis, we have shown that treating non-tumorigenic immortalized breast MCF 10A cells with low doses (0.1 Gray) of radiation as well as cigarette smoke condensate can generate a neoplastic breast cancer phenotype. The transformed phenotype promoted increased mammosphere numbers, altered cell cycle phases, and increased invasion and motility. In addition, exclusion of Hoechst 33342 dye, a surrogate marker for increased ABC transporters, was observed, which indicates a possible increase in drug resistance. Furthermore, differential gene expression profiles were generated from the individual and combination treatment. Overall, the results indicate that when normal breast cells are exposed to low dose radiation in combination with cigarette smoke condensate a phenotype is generated that exhibits traits indicative of neoplastic transformation. Taken together, these results provide a new insight into a possible etiology for breast cancer formation in individuals exposed to cosmic radiation and second-hand smoke. To study the effects of low dose ionizing radiation and tobacco smoke on breast cells, MCF 10A cells were treated either with radiation (Rad - 0.1 Gray) or cigarette smoke condensate (Csc - 10 microgram/ml of medium) or a combination of Rad + Csc). Following treatments, the cells were incubated for 72 hr, RNA extracted and analyzed for differential gene expression pattern.
