TCOF1 DRIVES STEMNESS OF TRIPLE-NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER THROUGH KIT

ABSTRACT: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer with poor prognosis. The high malignancy of TNBC is contributed by its heterogeneity and enrichment of cancer stem cells. By performing multiomic profiling, we recently uncovered super-enhancer heterogeneity between breast cancer subtypes. Here, we identify TCOF1 as a novel super-enhancer-regulated gene that promotes TNBC growth and stemness. TCOF1, which plays a critical role in craniofacial development, is frequently upregulated in TNBC and its elevated expression correlates with shorter overall survival. Whereas TCOF1 depletion has potent effects on the growth and stemness of basal-like TNBC, it has no effect on mesenchymal-like cells, highlighting the distinct molecular dependency in different subgroups of TNBC. Whole genome RNA sequencing uncovers several stem cell molecules regulated by TCOF1. We further demonstrate that the upregulation of KIT by TCOF1 mediates TNBC stemness. These findings provide a rationale for developing therapeutics targeting TCOF1 in basal-like TNBC.

Defining super-enhancer landscape in triple-negative breast cancer by multiomic profiling

Project description:Here we apply integrated epigenomic and transcriptomic profiling to uncover super-enhancer heterogeneity between breast cancer subtypes, and provide clinically relevant biological insights towards TNBC. Using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing, we identify genes that are specifically regulated by TNBC-specific super-enhancers, including FOXC1 and MET, thereby unveiling a mechanism for specific overexpression of the key oncogenes in TNBC. We also identify ANLN as a novel TNBC-specific gene regulated by super-enhancer. Our studies reveal a TNBC-specific epigenomic landscape, contributing to the dysregulated oncogene expression in breast tumorigenesis.

Epigenetic heterogeneity and transcriptional drivers of triple-negative breast cancer

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease with limited treatment options. To characterize TNBC heterogeneity, we defined transcriptional, epigenetic, and metabolic subtypes, and subtype-driving super-enhancers and transcription factors by combining functional and molecular profiling with computational analyses. Single cell RNA sequencing revealed relative homogeneity of the major transcriptional subtypes (luminal, basal, and mesenchymal) within samples. We found that mesenchymal TNBCs are more similar to mesenchymal neuroblastoma and rhabdoid tumors than to other TNBC subtypes, and the PRRX1 transcription factor is a key driver of these tumors. PRRX1 is sufficient for inducing mesenchymal features in basal but not in luminal TNBC cells via reprogramming cellular super-enhancer landscapes and transcriptome but it is not required for its maintenance and for cellular viability. Our comprehensive, large scale, multi-platform, multi-omics study of both experimental and clinical TNBC is an excellent resource for the scientific and clinical research communities as it opens new venues for future investigations.

Comprehensive proteomic characterization reveals subclass-specific molecular aberrations within triple-negative breast cancer

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is regarded as the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer lacking targeted therapies. This is attributed to its high heterogeneity that complicates elucidation of its molecular aberrations. Here, we report identification of specific proteome expression profiles pertaining to two TNBC subclasses, basal A and basal B, through in-depth proteomics analysis of breast cancer cells. We observed that kinases and proteases displayed unique expression patterns within the subclasses, similar to whole proteome clusters. Systematic analyses of protein-protein interaction and co-regulation networks of these kinases and proteases unraveled dysregulated pathways and plausible targets for each TNBC subclass. Among these, we identified kinases AXL, PEAK1 and TGFBR2, and proteases FAP, UCHL1 and MMP2/14, as specific targets for basal B subclass, which represents the more aggressive TNBC cell lines. Our study thus highlights intricate mechanisms and distinct targets within TNBC, and emphasizes that these have to be exploited in a subclass-specific manner rather than a one-for-all TNBC therapy.

KK-LC-1 as a feasible therapeutic target to eliminate ALDH+ stem cells in triple negative breast cancer

Project description:Failure to achieve complete elimination of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) stem cells after adjuvant therapy is associated with poor outcomes. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) is a marker of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs), and its enzymatic activity regulates tumor stemness. Identifying upstream targets to control ALDH+ cells may facilitate TNBC tumor suppression. Here, we show that KK-LC-1 determines the stemness of TNBC ALDH+ cells via binding with FAT1 and subsequently promoting its ubiquitination and degradation. This compromised the Hippo pathway and led to nuclear translocation of YAP1 and ALDH1A1 transcription. These findings identified the KK-LC-1-FAT1-Hippo-ALDH1A1 pathway in TNBC ALDH+ cells as a therapeutic target. To reverse the malignancy due to KK-LC-1 expression, we employed a novel computational approach and discovered Z839878730 (Z8) as an small-molecule inhibitor which may disrupt KK-LC-1 and FAT1 binding. We demonstrate that Z8 suppressed TNBC tumor growth via a mechanism that reactivated the Hippo pathway and decreased TNBC ALDH+ cell stemness and viability.

Epigenetic heterogeneity and transcriptional drivers of triple-negative breast cancer (H3K27ac cell lines ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease with limited treatment options. To characterize TNBC heterogeneity and treatment response, we combined functional and molecular profiling with computational analysis tools. Using these approaches, we defined transcriptional, epigenetic, and metabolic subtypes, and identified subtype-driving super-enhancers. Single cell RNA sequencing analyses revealed relative homogeneity of the three major transcriptional subtypes (luminal, basal and mesenchymal) within tumors. We found that mesenchymal TNBCs are more similar to mesenchymal neuroblastoma and rhabdoid tumors than to other TNBC subtypes, and the PRRX1 transcription factor serves as a key driver of these tumors. By directly regulating the transcription of mesenchymal genes, PRRX1 is sufficient for inducing the mesenchymal subtype but is not required for its maintenance.
