Project description:Brain metastases are critical for outcomes and quality of life in almost 50% of oncological patients, generally associated with a poor short-term prognosis. Early or preventive diagnosis of this complication represents an unmet need. There is a necessity of discovering new biomarkers that could aid to predict disease outcome. In this study, we analyzed plasma circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) from a cohort of 92 patients with different solid tumors (lung, breast, kidney cancer and melanoma) and found that newly diagnosed patients with brain metastases presented lower number of circulating particles and a higher protein concentration in small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) compared to patients without brain metastases and healthy controls. Out of all groups analyzed, melanoma patients with brain metastases presented decreased STAT3 activation and increased PD-L1 levels in circulating sEVs compared to patients without central nervous system metastases. The data presented in this work suggest that circulating sEVs may represent the immunosuppressive status of newly diagnosed brain metastases characterized by the reduced phospho-STAT3 (pSTAT3) and increased PD-L1, although the origin of these molecules found in circulating sEVs remains to be uncovered.

Project description:Introduction: The incidence of brain metastases in cancer patients is increasing, with lung and breast cancer being the most common sources. Despite advancements in targeted therapies, the prognosis remains poor, highlighting the importance to investigate the underlying mechanisms in brain metastases. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in the molecular mechanisms involved in brain metastasis of breast and lung cancers. In addition, we aimed to identify cancer lineage-specific druggable targets in the brain metastasis. Methods: To that aim, a cohort of 44 FFPE tissue samples, including 22 breast cancer and 22 lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and their matched-paired brain metastases were collected. Targeted gene expression profiles of primary tumors were compared to their matched-paired brain metastases samples using nCounter PanCancer IO 360™ Panel of NanoString technologies. Pathway analysis was performed using gene set analysis (GSA) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). The validation was performed by using Immunohistochemistry (IHC) to confirm the expression of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Results: Our results revealed the significant upregulation of cancer-related genes in primary tumors compared to their matched-paired brain metastases (adj. p ≤ 0.05). We found that upregulated differentially expressed genes in breast cancer brain metastasis (BM-BC) and brain metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma (BM-LUAD) were associated with the metabolic stress pathway, particularly related to the glycolysis. Additionally, we found that the upregulated genes in BM-BC and BM-LUAD played roles in immune response regulation, tumor growth, and proliferation. Importantly, we identified high expression of the immune checkpoint VTCN1 in BM-BC, and VISTA, IDO1, NT5E, and HDAC3 in BM-LUAD. Validation using immunohistochemistry further supported these findings. Conclusion: In conclusion, the findings highlight the significance of using matched-paired samples to identify cancer lineage-specific therapies that may improve brain metastasis patients outcomes.

Project description:We obtained a comprehensive DNA methylation profile of 15 breast cancer discordant twins, using the high resolution Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip platform (450K, Illumina), previously established to reliably detect methylation changes of more than 450,000 CpG sites. To provide insight into the temporal and causal relationships and predictive potential, samples from breast cancer patients before (7) and after diagnosis (8) were also analyzed. Using whole blood from 15 twin pairs discordant for breast cancer and high-resolution (450k) DNA methylation analysis we identified 403 differentially methylated CpG sites including known and novel potential breast cancer genes.

Project description:Malignant melanoma is a highly metastatic disease disseminating to several distant sites. This potential is also of great clinical impact for patient survival and therapeutic success. Knowledge about melanoma genomics is mainly based on lymphatic or skin metastases derived data, whereas data from distant sites is rather limited. Therefore, an autopsy-based visceral metastasis biobank was established and an array-based CNV analysis was performed focusing primarily on major organs (brain, lung and liver) on a total of 38 samples (10 primary and 28 organ metastasse). A unique picture emerged about organ specific CNV type distributions or gene alterations including the frequent loss of DNA damage error genes in brain metastases, the presence of HGF/MET autocrine loop in brain and lung metastases, the traces of immunogenic mimicry exclusive for lung metastases or the correlation of BRAF copy number and mutant allele frequency especially in lung metastases. All these above phenomena have a great influence on therapy efficacy or resistance.

Project description:Exclusion of cancer patients with brain metastases from clinical trials is a major cause of the limited therapeutic options available for secondary brain tumors. Here, we report a novel drug-screening platform (METPlatform) based on organotypic cultures that allows identifying anti-metastatic compounds in a preparation that includes the tumor microenvironment. By applying this approach to brain metastasis, we identified HSP90 as a promising therapeutic target. A blood-brain barrier permeable HSP90 inhibitor showed high potency against mouse and human brain metastases from melanoma, lung and breast adenocarcinoma with distinct oncogenomic profiles at clinically relevant stages of the disease, including a novel model of local relapse after neurosurgery. Furthermore, in situ proteomic analysis of brain metastases treated with the chaperone inhibitor revealed non-canonical clients of HSP90 as potential novel mediators of brain metastasis and actionable mechanisms of resistance driven by autophagy. Our work validates METPlatform as a potent resource for metastasis research integrating drug-screening and unbiased omic approaches that is fully compatible with human samples. We envision that METPlatform could be established as a clinically relevant strategy to personalize the management of metastatic disease in the brain and elsewhere.

Project description:This is a genomic analysis of breast cancer metastasis using array based CGH and is part of a large study investigating the patterns and evolution of metastases from breast cancer using autopsy material accumulated over the last 50 years from a single institution. The samples used in the genomic profiling comprise the primary breast tumour and multiple matched metastases from each patient. The data demonstrate both the clonal nature of metastatic progression and the role of clonal evolution during progression. This study comprises six patients who died of metastatic breast cancer. For some patients the breast primary tumour and lymph node metastasis was obtained from previous surgical excision, otherwise material was obtained from a resulting autopsy. Each patient set of samples involves the primary breast tumour and multiple metastases, including from lung, liver, lymph node, adrenal gland, brain etc. DNA was extracted from formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks and analysed for DNA copy number alterations using an Agilent aCGH platform.

Project description:Melanoma is one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant cancers. It represents the most life-threatening neoplasm of the skin, and its incidence has been increasing for the last three decades. Melanoma evolves from the local transformation of melanocytes to primary tumors, which can metastasize to multiple organs. Brain metastases represent one of the most significant causes of death in cutaneous melanoma patients. Despite aggressive multi-modality threapy, patients with melanoma brain metastasis have a median survival of less than a year, with a majority of these patients dying as a result of their intracranial disease. We aimed to find brain metastasis-specific molecular markers. To identify alterations in DNA methylation related to brain metastasis, we used Illumina 450K BeadChips to assess differentially methylated regions in melanocytes, primary melanomas, lymph node metastases, and brain metastases. Bisulphite-converted DNA from 40 specimens was hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation BeadChip.
