Project description:<p>The identification of efficient and sensitive biomarkers for non-invasive tests is one of the major challenges in cancer diagnosis. To address this challenge, metabolomics is widely applied for identifying biomarkers that detects abnormal changes in cancer patients. Canine mammary tumors exhibit physiological characteristics identical to those in human breast cancer and serve as a useful animal model to conduct breast cancer research. Here, we aimed to provide a reliable large-scale metabolite dataset collected from dogs with mammary tumors, using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. We identified 55 metabolites in urine samples from 20 benign, 87 malignant, and 49 healthy control subjects. This dataset provides details of mammary tumor-specific metabolites in dogs and insights into cancer-specific metabolic alterations that share similar molecular characteristics.</p>

Project description:[original title] Metastatic Canine Mammary Carcinomas can be Identified by a Gene Expression Profile that partly Overlaps with Human Breast Cancer Profiles. Introduction: Similar to human breast cancer mammary tumors of the female dog are commonly associated with a fatal outcome due to the development of distant metastases. However, the molecular defects leading to metastasis are largely unknown and the value of canine mammary carcinoma as a model for human breast cancer is unclear. In this study, we analyzed the gene expression signatures associated with mammary tumor metastasis and asked for parallels with the human equivalent. Methods: Messenger RNA expression profiles of twenty-seven lymph node metastasis positive or negative canine mammary carcinomas were established by microarray analysis. Differentially expressed genes were functionally characterized and associated with molecular pathways. The findings were also correlated with published data on human breast cancer. Results: Metastatic canine mammary carcinomas had 1,011 significantly differentially expressed genes when compared to non-metastatic carcinomas. Metastatic carcinomas had a significant up-regulation of genes associated with cell cycle regulation, matrix modulation, protein folding and proteasomal degradation whereas cell differentiation genes, growth factor pathway genes and regulators of actin organization were significantly down-regulated. Interestingly, 265 of the 1,011 differentially expressed canine genes are also related to human breast cancer and, vice versa, parts of a human prognostic gene signature were identified in the expression profiles of the metastatic canine tumors. Conclusions: Metastatic canine mammary carcinomas can be discriminated from non-metastatic carcinomas by their gene expression profiles. More than one third of the differentially expressed genes are also described of relevance for human breast cancer. Many of the differentially expressed genes are linked to functions and pathways which appear to be relevant for the induction and maintenance of metastatic progression and may represent new therapeutic targets. Furthermore, dogs are in some aspects suitable as a translational model for human breast tumors in order to identify prognostic molecular signatures and potential therapeutic targets.

Thirteen simple mammary carcinomas with invasive growth and lymph node metastases at the time of tumor resection and 14 simple carcinomas without lymph node metastases were included in the study. None of the patients had radiographically detectable pulmonary metastases at the time of tumor resection. Distant metastases as the cause of death were determined postoperatively by radiographic detection of metastases or necropsy. Selection criteria for carcinomas without lymph node metastases included an invasive growth, a negative lymph node status, a histological grade III and a minimal tumor diameter above the average of the lymph node positive tumors (> 2.42 cm). All animals with non-metastatic carcinomas had a survival rate of over 24 months except animal no. 22 (2627) which developed radiographic detectable lung metastases 8 months after surgery. Tumor and lymph node histologies were evaluated independently by two board-certified pathologists, following the criteria of the WHO classification of canine mammary tumors and the Nottingham grading system. All 27 tumors were simple carcinomas and characterized by an invasive, mostly solid growth pattern, marked cellular pleomorphism, anisokaryosis and 3 or more mitotic figures per high power field.

Project description:Canine mammary gland tumors are common and bear striking similarities to human breast cancer, making them a valuable model for comparative oncology. This study examined changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) associated with tumor progression in spontaneous canine mammary carcinomas, aiming to identify biomarkers linked to tumor aggressiveness. Normal, non-metastatic, and metastatic mammary tissues were analyzed by histological and proteomic approaches, and human breast cancer transcriptomic data were explored for in silico validation. Histological analysis with special stains revealed a reduction in type III collagen in metastatic tumors. The proteomic profile identified 12 MEC-related proteins with differential expressions in canine samples, of which eight were upregulated (COL12A1, COL4A1, COL4A2, SERPINH1, SERPINF1, HTRA1, TNC, PCOLCE) and four (MMRN1, ABI3BP, DPT, OGN) were downregulated and were confirmed to be differentially expressed in the human transcriptome as well. The results highlight the active remodeling of the ECM during tumor progression, marked by increased expression of proteins associated with stiffness and invasiveness and decreased expression of potential suppressors. These findings strengthen the understanding of ECM dynamics in breast cancer and suggest promising molecular targets for future investigations.

Project description:Spontaneous mammary tumours are the most prevalent type of neoplasm in women as well as in female dogs. Even though ovarian hormones, mainly estrogens and progestins, are known to play a key role in mammary tumorigenesis, conflicting reports have been obtained from in vivo and in vitro studies concerning their role, especially of progestins, in mammary tumorigenesis. Prolonged exposure to high levels of progestins during unusually long luteal phase of oestrous cycle is suspected to be the key event in canine mammary tumorigenesis. Accordingly, our previous studies have shown development of mammary hyperplasia in dogs upon prolonged progestin administration. In this study, we used canine cDNA microarrays to identify oncogenic determinants in progestin-induced canine hyperplasia (CMH) and spontaneous tumours (CMC) by comparing them to normal tissue. CMH profile indicated amplification of genes involved in cell proliferation, like PCNA, NPY and RAN, and also alterations in expression of transcription factors and cell adhesion molecules. In addition to amplified cell proliferation signature, CMC profile also identified major alterations in expressions of genes involved in cell motility, cytoskeletal organization and extracellular components. Overall, gene expression profile of CMH indicated an advantage for cell proliferation, whereas that of CMC indicated an advantage for proliferation as well as neoclassic transformation. In conclusion, our findings indicate strong oncogenic potential of progestins in canine mammary gland. In addition, CMC gene expression profile greatly contribute to the identification of their molecular abnormalities and may facilitate the identification of new therapeutic targets.

Project description:Molecular mechanisms of the canine mammary malignancy. RNA isolated from canine mammary tumours of the 3rd grade of malignancy was pooled and hybrydized on the same microarray as RNA isolated from canine mammary tumours of the 1st grade of malignancy. Based on the results the "malignancy portrait" was assessed.
