Increased metastasis with loss of E2F2 in Myc-driven tumors

ABSTRACT: In human breast cancer, mortality is associated with metastasis to distant sites. Therefore, it is critical to elucidate the biological mechanisms that underlie tumor progression and metastasis. Using signaling pathway signatures we previously predicted a role for E2F transcription factors in Myc induced tumors. To test this role we interbred MMTV-Myc transgenic mice with E2F knockouts. Surprisingly, we observed that the loss of E2F2 sharply increased the percentage of lung metastasis in MMTV-Myc transgenic mice. Examining the gene expression profile from these tumors, we identified genetic components that were potentially involved in mediating metastasis. These genes were filtered to uncover the genes involved in metastasis that also impacted distant metastasis free survival in human breast cancer. In order to elucidate the mechanism by which E2F2 loss enhanced metastasis we generated knockdowns of E2F2 in MDA-MB-231 cells and observed increased migration in vitro and increased lung colonization in vivo. We then examined genes that were differentially regulated between tumors from MMTV-Myc, MMTV-Myc E2F2-/-, and lung metastases samples and identified PTPRD. To test the role of PTPRD in E2F2-mediated breast cancer metastasis, we generated a knockdown of PTPRD in MDA-MB-231 cells. We noted that decreased levels of PTPRD resulted in decreased migration in vitro and decreased lung colonization in vivo. Taken together, these data indicate that E2F2 loss results in increased metastasis in breast cancer, potentially functioning through a PTPRD dependent mechanism. Lung metastases from MMTV-Myc tumors in a E2F2 knockout and E2F3 +/- backgrounds were analyzed for their gene expression profile

MMTV-Myc tumor development in E2F-null backgrounds

Project description:Advances in genomic signatures have begun to dissect breast cancer heterogeneity, and application of these signatures will allow the prediction of which pathways are important in tumor development. Here we used genomic signatures to predict involvement of specific E2F transcription factors in Myc-induced tumors. We genetically tested this prediction by interbreeding Myc transgenics with mice lacking various activator E2F alleles. Tumor latency decreased in the E2F1 mutant background and significantly increased in both the E2F2 and E2F3 mutants. Investigating the mechanism behind these changes revealed a reduction in apoptosis in the E2F1 knockout strain. E2F2 and E2F3 mutant backgrounds alleviated Myc effects on the mammary gland, reducing the susceptible tumor target population. Gene expression data from tumors revealed that the E2F2 knockout background resulted in fewer tumors with EMT, corresponding with a reduction in probability of Ras activation. In human breast cancer we found that a low probability of E2F2 pathway activation was associated with increased relapse-free survival time. Together these data illustrate the predictive utility of genomic signatures in deciphering the heterogeneity within breast cancer and illustrate the unique genetic requirements for individual E2Fs in mediating tumorigenesis in both mouse models and human breast cancer. MMTV-Myc tumors were generated in an E2F wild-type, E2F1 null, E2F2 null and E2F3 heterozygous background. When the primary tumor reached the endpoint, the tumors were flash frozen. 20 tumors from each genotype were selected for microarray analysis.

Her2/Neu tumorigenesis and metastasis is regulated by E2F transcription factors

Project description:HER2 / Neu is amplified and overexpressed in a large proportion of human breast cancers, but the signaling pathways that contribute to tumor development and metastatic progression are not completely understood. Using gene expression data and pathway signatures we predicted a role for activator E2F transcription factors in Neu induced tumors. This was genetically tested by interbreeding Neu transgenics with knockouts of the three activator E2Fs. Loss of any E2F delayed Neu induced tumor onset. E2F1 loss accelerated tumor growth while E2F2 and E2F3 loss did not. Strikingly, it was observed that loss of E2F1 or E2F2 significantly reduced the metastatic capacity of the tumor and this was associated with a reduction in circulating tumor cells in the E2F2 knockout. Gene expression analysis between the tumors in the various E2F mutant backgrounds revealed that there was extensive compensation by other E2F family members in the individual knockouts, underscoring the importance of the E2Fs in HER2 / Neu induced tumors. Extension to HER2 positive human breast cancer revealed a number of HER2+ subtypes based on E2F activity with differences in relapse free survival times. Taken together these data demonstrate that the E2F transcription factors are integral to HER2+ tumor development and progression.

Project description:We previously identified a novel SNF1/AMPK-related protein kinase, Hunk, from a mammary tumor arising in an MMTV-neu transgenic mouse. The function of this kinase is unknown. Using targeted deletion in mice, we now demonstrate that Hunk is required for the metastasis of c-myc-induced mammary tumors, but is dispensable for normal development. Reconstitution experiments revealed that Hunk is sufficient to restore the metastatic potential of Hunk-deficient tumor cells, as well as defects in migration and invasion, and does so in a manner that requires its kinase activity. Consistent with a role for Hunk in the progression of human cancers, the human homologue of Hunk is overexpressed in aggressive subsets of carcinomas of the ovary, colon, and breast. In addition, a murine gene expression signature that distinguishes Hunk-wild type from Hunk-deficient mammary tumors predicts clinical outcome in women with breast cancer. Together, these findings establish a role for Hunk in metastasis and an in vivo function for this kinase. Hunk-deficient animals were crossed to mice harboring an MMTV-c-myc transgene (Leder et al., 1986). Hunk heterozygous, MMTV-c-myc mice were backcrossed to Hunk heterozygous animals. MMTV-c-myc female animals of each Hunk genotype were mated twice, then monitored twice weekly for mammary tumors. Mice possessing tumors with a maximum diameter of 20 mm were sacrificed and organs were examined at necropsy. Tumor nodules were identified by examination of organs through a Leica Wild MZ8 dissection microscope.

Breast metastatic tumors in lung can be substituted by lung-derived tumorsBreast metastatic tumors in lung can be substituted by lung-derived tumors

Project description:Metastasis accounts for most cancer-associated deaths; yet, this complex process remains poorly understood, particularly the relationship between distant metastasis and primary site-derived cells. Here, we modified the classical MMTV-PyMT breast carcinoma model to trace the fate of mammary-derived carcinoma cells. We show that within the lung, when the metastatic breast carcinoma cells are conditionally depleted, transformed lung epithelial cells generate new metastases. Metastatic breast carcinoma cells transmit H19 long non-coding (lnc) RNA to lung epithelial cells through exosomes. SF3B1 bearing mutations at arginine-625 alternatively splices H19 lncRNA in lung epithelial cells, which selectively acts like a molecular sponge to sequester let-7a and induces Myc up-regulation. Under the conditional elimination of primary site-derived breast carcinoma cells, lung malignant cells expressing the mutated SF3B1 splice variant dominate the newly created tumors. Our study suggests that these new carcinoma cells originating from within the colonized organ can replace the primary site-derived malignant cells whenever their expansion is abrogated using an inducible diphtheria toxin receptor in our designed system. These findings should call for a better understanding of metastatic tumors with the specific origin during cancer metastasis.

Transcriptomic analysis investigating the role of TNC in tumor progression using the MMTV-NeuNT mouse model

Project description:MMTV-NeuNT transgenic mouse model harbors an activated form of Neu (NeuNT). Mice develop stochastically multifocal mammary adenocarcinomas that metastasize to the lung (Muller et al., 1988). MMTV-NeuNT mouse model exhibits both intravascular and parenchymal metastasis which provides a good tool to comprehensively study breast cancer metastasis. In this study, we investigated the role of TNC in tumor progression using the MMTV-NeuNT mouse model. (3 MMTV-NeuNT TNC WT v/s 3 MMTV-NeuNT TNC KO). Breast tumor tissue were collected 3 months after first tumor palpation.

Differentiation of Mammary Tumors and Reduction in Metastasis Upon Malat1 LncRNA Loss

Project description:Genome-wide analyses have identified thousands of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Malat1 (Metastasis Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1) is among the most abundant lncRNAs whose expression is altered in numerous cancers. Here we report that genomic loss, as well as systemic knockdown of Malat1 using antisense oligonucleotides, in the MMTV-PyMT mouse mammary carcinoma model results in slower tumor growth accompanied by differentiation into highly cystic tumors and a significant reduction in lung metastasis. Further, Malat1 loss results in a reduction of branching morphogenesis in MMTV-PyMT and Her2/neu amplified tumor organoids consistent with the in vivo reduction in lung metastasis. At the molecular level, Malat1 knockdown results in alterations in gene expression and changes in splicing patterns of genes involved in differentiation and pro-tumorigenic signaling pathways. Together, these data indicate that the lncRNA Malat1 regulates critical processes in mammary cancer pathogenesis and represents a promising therapeutic target for inhibiting breast cancer metastasis. Transcriptome profiles of tumors and organoids after Malat1 knockdown using antisense olgonucleotides (ASOs).
