Pre-neoplastic stromal cells drive BRCA1-mediated breast tumorigenesis

ABSTRACT: Women with germline mtuation in BRCA1 have increased risk for developing hereditary breast cancer. The role of the epitheilum-assocaited niche during BRCA1-driven tumor intiation remains unclear. Here, we show that the pre-malignant stromal niche promotes epithelial prolifeation and BRCA1-driven cancer intiation in trans. Using single-cell RNA seq analysis of human pre-neoplastic BRCA1 and control breast tissue, we show that stromal cells provide numerous pro-proliferative paracrine signals inducing epithelial proliferation.

Spatial Transcriptomics Suggests That Alterations 4 Occur in the Preneoplastic Breast Microenvironment of 5 Q2 BRCA1/2 Mutation Carriers

Project description:Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females, affecting one in every eight women and accounting for the majority of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. Germline mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are significant risk factors for specific subtypes of breast cancer. BRCA1 mutations are associated with basal-like breast cancers, whereas BRCA2 mutations are associated with luminal-like disease. Defects in mammary epithelial cell differentiation have been previously recognized in germline BRCA1/2 mutation carriers even before cancer incidence. However, the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. Here, we employ spatial transcriptomics to investigate defects in mammary epithelial cell differentiation accompanied by distinct microenvironmental alterations in preneoplastic breast tissues from BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and normal breast tissues from non-carrier controls. We uncovered spatially defined receptor-ligand interactions in these tissues for the investigation of autocrine and paracrine signaling. We discovered that β1-integrin-mediated autocrine signaling in BRCA2-deficient mammary epithelial cells may differ from BRCA1-deficient mammary epithelial cells. In addition, we found that the epithelial-to-stromal paracrine signaling in the breast tissues of BRCA1/2 mutation carriers is greater than in control tissues. More integrin-ligand pairs were differentially correlated in BRCA1/2-mutant breast tissues than non-carrier breast tissues with more integrin receptor-expressing stromal cells. Implications: These results suggest alterations in the communication between mammary epithelial cells and the microenvironment in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers, laying the foundation for designing innovative breast cancer chemo-prevention strategies for high-risk patients.

Cell-type-specific epigenomic variations associated with BRCA1 mutation in pre-cancer human breast tissues

Project description:BRCA1 germline mutation carriers are predisposed to breast cancers. Epigenomic regulations have been known to strongly interact with genetic variations and potentially mediate biochemical cascades involved in tumorigenesis. Due to the cell-type specificity of epigenomic features, profiling of individual cell types is critical for understanding the molecular events in various cellular compartments within complex breast tissue. Here we report cell-type specific profiling of genome-wide histone modifications, including H3K27ac and H3K4me3 in basal, luminal progenitor, mature luminal, and stromal cells, extracted from pre-cancer BRCA1 mutation carriers and non-carriers, using a low-input technology. We discover that basal and stromal cells present the most substantial epigenomic differences between mutation carriers and non-carriers while luminal progenitor and mature luminal cells are relatively unchanged with the mutation. Furthermore, the epigenomic changes in basal cells due to BRCA1 mutation appear to facilitate their transformation into luminal progenitor cells. Our findings shed light on the pre-cancer epigenomic dynamics due to BRCA1 mutation and how they may contribute to eventual development of basal-like breast cancer.

Time-resolved single-cell analysis of Brca1 associated mammary tumorigenesis reveals aberrant differentiation of luminal progenitors

Project description:One of the major hurdles for the early detection of cancer is our poor understanding of tumour initiating events. Historically, cancer research has focused on histological and molecular characterisation of established tumours, which has led to the identification of hundreds of putative driver mutations. It is currently unclear how these genetic aberrations impact the cell state of nascent tumour cells and their microenvironment. BRCA1 driven triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) for example has been shown to arise from luminal progenitor cells1,2 yet little is known about how BRCA1 loss-of-function (LOF) and concomitant mutations affect the luminal progenitor cell state. Here we demonstrate how time-resolved single-cell profiling of genetically engineered mouse models before tumour formation can address this challenge. We found that the perturbation of Brca1/p53 in luminal progenitors induces an aberrant alveolar differentiation pre-malignancy. Unlike alveolar differentiation occurring during gestation, this process is cell autonomous and characterised by the dysregulation of transcription factors driving alveologenesis. Our experimental approach has allowed us to further identify responses in the stromal and immune cell compartments during the early steps of tumourigenesis. Based on our data we propose a model where transcriptional and epigenetic changes driven by Brca1/p53 inadvertently promote a differentiation program hardwired in luminal progenitors, highlighting the deterministic role of the cell of origin and offering a potential explanation for the tissue specificity of BRCA1 tumours. Moving forward, the phenotype identified herein should be evaluated as a target for early detection and treatment of TNBC.

This repository contains ATAC-sequencing dataset of luminal progenitors isolated from 6-months old Brca1/p53 and wild-type mice. This data was used to show that the perturbation of Brca1/p53in luminal progenitors induces an aberrant alveolar differentiation pre-malignancy. Unlike alveolar differentiation occurring during gestation, this process is cell autonomous and characterised by the dysregulation of transcription factors driving alveologenesis.

Gene expression analysis of FACS-isolated mammary stromal cells (Fsp1-expressing) between stromal Gli2 wild type control and stromal Gli2 ablated mice

Project description:The capacity of stem cells to maintain and regenerate organs is critically dependent on the niche, a complex signaling microenvironment that sustains and regulates stem cell activity. Niche function in the mammary gland must integrate local homeostatic activities with hormonally regulated events, such as pregnancy or the onset of puberty. In the human disorder CPHD (combined pituitary hormone deficiency) breast growth defects at puberty are associated with mutations disrupting the transcription factor, GLI2. Here we find that Gli2 functions in mouse mammary stromal cells to shape a niche signaling program that sustains mammary epithelial stem cells. Ablation of Gli2 in stromal cells thus leads to a disorganized mammary gland, associated with collapse of the niche signaling environment, with a five-fold decrease in functional mammary stem cell activity, and with attenuated response to the mammatrophic hormones estrogen and growth hormone. Consistent with a niche defect, aspects of Gli2-deficient mammary gland architecture can be rescued by local supplementation with IGF and WNT protein signals. Our findings thus identify GLI2 as a critical coordinator of local and hormonal influences on the niche signaling program, and suggest that mammary pathogenesis in CPHD patients results from dysfunction of the mammary epithelial stem cell niche. We used microarrays to identify gene expression signatures associated with stromal Gli2 expression

Expression data from mammary epithelial cells from BRCA1 mutation carriers and non BRCA1 mutation carriers

Project description:Female BRCA1 mutation carriers have a nearly 80% probability of developing breast cancer during their life-time. We hypothesized that the breast epithelium at risk in BRCA1 mutation carriers harbors mammary epithelial cells (MECs) with altered proliferation and differentiation properties. Microarray studies revealed that PMEC colonies from BRCA1 mutation carriers anticipate expression profiles found in BRCA1-related tumors, and that the EGFR pathway is upregulated in BRCA1 mutation carriers compared ton non BRCA1 mutation carriers. Keywords: Class comparison and pathway analysis
