Basal epithelial subpopulations underlie and predict chemotherapy resistance in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

ABSTRACT: Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype, characterized by extensive intratumoral heterogeneity, high metastasis and chemoresistance, leading to poor clinical outcomes. Despite progress, the mechanistic basis of these aggressive behaviours remains poorly understood. Using single-cell and spatial transcriptome analysis, here we discovered basal epithelial subpopulations located within the stroma that exhibit chemoresistance characteristics. The subpopulations are defined by distinct signature genes that show a frequent gain in copy number and exhibit an activated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition program. A subset of these genes can accurately predict chemotherapy response and are associated with poor prognosis. Interestingly, among these genes, elevated ITGB1 participates in enhancing intercellular signaling while ACTN1 confers a survival advantage to foster chemoresistance. Furthermore, by subjecting the transcriptional signatures to drug repurposing analysis we find that chemoresistant tumors may benefit from distinct inhibitors in treatment naïve versus post-NAC patients. These findings shed light on the mechanistic basis of chemoresistance while providing the best-in-class biomarker to predict chemotherapy response and alternate therapeutic avenues for improved management of TNBC patients resistant to chemotherapy.

Fatty acid oxidation protects cancer cells from apoptosis through increasing mitochondrial membrane lipids

Project description:<p>Overcoming resistance to chemotherapies remains a major unmet need for cancers such as triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Therefore, mechanistic studies to provide insight for drug development are urgently needed to overcome TNBC therapy resistance. Recently, an important role of fatty acid β-Oxidation (FAO) in chemoresistance has been shown. But how FAO might mitigate tumor cell apoptosis by chemotherapy is unclear. Here, we show that elevated FAO activates STAT3 by acetylation via elevated acetyl-CoA. Acetylated STAT3 upregulates expression of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4), resulting in increased phospholipid synthesis. Elevating phospholipids in mitochondrial membranes leads to heightened mitochondrial integrity, which in turn overcomes chemotherapy-induced tumor cell apoptosis. Conversely, in both cultured tumor cells and xenograft tumors, enhanced cancer cell apoptosis by inhibiting ASCL4 or specifically targeting acetylated-STAT3 is associated with a reduction in phospholipids within mitochondrial membranes. This study demonstrates a critical mechanism underlying tumor cell chemoresistance.</p>

Using single cell RNA-seq to assess heterogeneous subpopulations and optimize therapeutic strategy in triple-negative breast cancer cells

Project description:Purpose: Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer with high intertumoral and intratumoral heterogeneity. Our overall goal in this study is to investigate the heterogeneity of TNBC, and develop effective combination therapy. Methods: We applied HCC1143 cell line as a representative of aggressive TNBC and performed single cell RNA-seq with 10x genomics platform for cells before and after paclitaxel treatment. Different cell subpopulations were identified with Seurat, and the relationship between different subpoulations were investigated with scEpath. Results: Different subpopulations were detected in TNBC cell populations. Targetable genes were identified and some of them were validated with drug.

Effect of GATA3 suppression gene expression in breast cancer cells.

Project description:Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is the major pre-treatment for breast cancer before surgery. Patients who achieve pathologic complete response (pCR) have a higher chance to receive lumpectomy and a better quality of life after neoadjuvant treatment. Luminal subtype breast cancer has poor NAC response compared with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtype. The molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying this chemoresistance are not fully understood. Here we report that the 17 featured transcriptional factors (TFs) in luminal and TNBC were identified. The association between 17 TFs and NAC pCR were analysis and exogenous luminal featured TF GATA3 overexpression promotes chemotherapy resistance in TNBC cell lines whereas its knockdown promotes sensitivity. In mechanism, we found that anthracycline based chemotherapy induces robust cellular ROS and Fe2+ overload in sensitivity cells; GATA3 mediates cell survival through repress CYB5R2 expression and Fenton reducing in DOX recycle which reduce cellular ROS and Fe2+ level during chemotherapy procedure. These founding altogether indicate that luminal featured transcription factor GATA3 enhance NAC resistance thorough repress ROS production and Fenton reducing. Breast cancer patient with GATA3 high expression might not suit for anthracycline based NAC regimen.

RNA-seq of MDA-MB-231 siCt and siAXL

Project description:Triple-Negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer that is associated with poor prognosis due to its propensity to form metastases. Unfortunately, the current treatment options are limited to chemotherapy such that identification of actionable targets are needed. The receptor tyrosine kinase AXL plays a role in the tumor cell dissemination and its expression in TNBC correlates with poor patients? survival. Here, we explored whether exploiting an AXL knockdown gene signature in TNBC cells may offer an opportunity for drug repurposing. To this end, we queried the PharmacoGx pharmacogenomics platform with an AXL gene signature which revealed Phenothiazines, a class of Dopamine Receptors antagonists (Thioridazine, Fluphenazine and Trifluoperazine) typically used as anti-psychotics. We next tested if drugs may be active to limit growth and metastatic progression of TNBC cells, similarly to AXL depletion. We found that the Phenothiazines were able to reduce cel l invasion, proliferation and viability, and also increased apoptosis of TNBC cells in vitro. Mechanistically, these drugs did not affect AXL activity but instead reduced PI3K/AKT/mTOR and ERK signaling. When administered to mice bearing TNBC xenografts, these drugs showed were able to reduce tumor growth and metastatic burden. Collectively, these results suggest that these antipsychotics are novel anti-tumor and anti-metastatic agents that could potentially be repurposed, in combination with standard chemotherapy, for use in TNBC.

Transcriptomic analysis of DOXO-Resistant cells compared to parental DOXO-Sensitive mda-mb-436 cell line

Project description:The major obstacle in successfully treating triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is resistance to cytotoxic chemotherapy, the mainstay of treatment in this disease. Previous pre-clinical models of chemoresistance in TNBC have suffered from a lack of clinical relevance. Using a single high dose chemotherapy treatment, we developed a novel MDA-MB-436 cell-based model of chemoresistance characterized by a unique and complex morphological phenotype, which consists of polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) giving rise to neuron-like mononuclear daughter cells filled with smaller but functional mitochondria and numerous lipid droplets. This resistant phenotype is associated with metabolic reprogramming with a shift to a greater dependence on fatty acids and oxidative phosphorylation. We validated both the molecular and histologic features of this model in a clinical cohort of primary chemoresistant TNBCs and identified several metabolic vulnerabilities including a dependence on PLIN4, a perilipin coating the observed lipid droplets, expressed both in the TNBC resistant cells and clinical chemoresistant tumors treated with neoadjuvant doxorubicin-based chemotherapy. These findings thus reveal a novel mechanism of chemotherapy resistance that has therapeutic implications in the treatment of drug resistant cancer.

MLK4 kinase regulates the DNA damage response and promotes triple-negative breast cancer chemoresistance

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer characterized by the absence of estrogen and progesterone receptors, and the lack of HER2 amplification or overexpression. Chemoresistance is currently one of the major challenges in the treatment TNBC. Therefore, there is a need towards identification of the novel molecular targets that could be exploited to overcome TNBC chemoresistance. In this study, we found that knock-down of Mixed-Lineage Kinase 4 (MLK4), a member of MAP3K family of serine/threonine kinases, sensitizes TNBC cell to chemotherapy and impairs activation of DNA repair pathways upon genotoxic treatment. DNA damage response signaling network coordinates transcriptional response at multiple levels to preserve cellular homeostasis and promote survival in response to genotoxic stress. Since MLK4-deficient cells were compromised for DNA damage response signaling activation following doxorubicin treatment, we hypothesized that the loss of MLK4 could significantly affect global transcriptomic changes induced by chemotherapy in TNBC cells. To test this hypothesis we performed gene expression profiling by mRNA-seq in HCC1806 TNBC cells transfected with control or MLK4-targeting siRNAs and treated with either 1 μM of doxorubicin for 24 h or vehicle only (DMSO control). Our RNA-seq analysis revealed that MLK4 is required for DNA damage-induced expression of several NF-кB-associated cytokines, including IL-6, which facilitates TNBC cells survival in an autocrine manner.
