Disruption of basal cell identity by Rank signaling drives mammary tumorigenesis

ABSTRACT: Rank signaling regulates mammary gland development and epithelial cell differentiation. Rank receptor is expressed by mammary basal and luminal populations, but, unlike luminal Rank, the contribution of basal Rank signaling to MG homeostasis remains poorly studied. We have combined timely regulated basal specific Rank expression with lineage tracing models and unveiled that basal Rank signaling controls basal cell identity in postnatal mammary glands. Ectopic basal Rank disrupts basal but also luminal cell identity, resulting in aberrant luminal-like differentiation of basal cells and impaired lactogenesis. Mechanistically, overactivation of basal Rank signaling leads to basal cell lineage infidelity, illustrated by the appearance of premalignant lesions composed by a basal-derived hybrid population with alveolar features which ultimately generates basal and luminal breast adenocarcinomas. Proteomic, transcriptomic and chromatin analyses support that the loss of tumor suppressive epigenetic regulators driven by basal Rank contributes to epithelial cell dedifferentiation and tumorigenesis. The basal Rank signature generated associates to poor prognosis particularly in human adenocarcinomas of the luminal subtype stressing the clinical relevance of our findings. Interestingly, our results reinforce the idea that luminal breast tumors might originate from basal cells that have suffered a luminal-like aberrant dedifferentiation triggered by Rank signaling

Loss of RANK signaling leads to stem cell activation in post pregnancy mammary glands

Project description:The purpose of this study was to elucidate the molecular changes of the mammary epithelium induced by luminal cell specific RANK deletion. We have characterized the phenotypic consequences of RANK deletion in the luminal lineage of the mammary epithelium, and uncovered that Rank KO luminal cells have reduced long term renewal following sucessive pregnancies. Lineage tracing analysis has demonstrated that during pregnancy 2, Rank deleted luminal cells are repleace by a wt luminal cell population, derived from the basal epithelium. We therefore decided to perform RNA seq in resting mammary glands from virgin and parous (following pregnancy one) females, cells were FACS sorted based on the traditional markers CD24 and CD49f and in the case of luminal cells GFP (recombined cells). We have isolated luminal cells to identify the molecular pathways involved in reduced long term renewal oberved in the parous context; basal cells were isolated to adress the putative mechanims regulated the bipotency observed during second pregnancy

LPA receptor activity is basal specific and coincident with early pregnancy and involution during mammary gland postnatal development

Project description:During pregnancy, luminal and basal epithelial cells of the adult mammary gland proliferate and differentiate resulting in remodeling of the adult gland. While pathways that control this process have been characterized in the gland as a whole, the contribution of specific cell subtypes, in particular the basal compartment, remains largely unknown. Basal cells provide structural and contractile support, however they also orchestrate the communication between the stroma and the luminal compartment at all developmental stages. Using RNA-seq, we show that basal cells are extraordinarily transcriptionally dynamic throughout pregnancy when compared to luminal cells. We identified gene expression changes that define specific basal functions acquired during development that led to the identification of novel markers. Enrichment analysis of gene sets from 24 mouse models for breast cancer pinpoint to a potential new function for insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1r) in the basal epithelium during lactogenesis. We establish that β-catenin signaling is activated in basal cells during early pregnancy, and demonstrate that this activity is mediated by lysophosphatidic acid receptor 3 (Lpar3). These findings identify novel pathways active during functional maturation of the adult mammary gland.

Rb deletion in mammary stem/progenitor epithelium induces tumors with features of luminal-B or basal-like breast cancer

Project description:The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor, Rb, is implicated in luminal-B and basal-like breast carcinomas, yet its effect on mammary gland development and causal role in breast cancer subtypes remain undefined. Here we show that conditional deletion of Rb in mouse mammary epithelium led to expansion of the stem/progenitor cells and to focal acinar hyperplasia with squamous metaplasia. These uniform lesions progressed into histologically diverse, transplantable mammary adenocarcinomas and adenosquamous carcinomas with features of luminal-B or basal-like carcinomas. A subset of basal-like but none of the luminal-B tumors expressed mutant p53. These results demonstrate a causative role for Rb in the etiology of breast cancer subtypes and implicate p53 status as a determinant of tumor phenotype after Rb loss.

Affymetrix SNP array data for Trp53-null mammary tumors developed in a mouse model with a K8+ luminal cell origin

Project description:Mammary epithelium is hierarchically organized, with multipotent basal mammary stem cells (MaSCs) producing both luminal and basal cells during development or upon transplantation. Recent studies suggested that most breast cancers, including Basal-Like breast cancer (BLBC), might originate from luminal cells, and oncogenic events, such as ectopic expression of PIK3CA(H1047R), could induce multipotency in committed luminal cells. p53 is the most commonly mutated gene in human breast cancer; in particular, its inactivating mutations are found in most BLBCs, raising a question as to whether p53-loss plays a key role in acquisition of multipotent MaSC-like properties by luminal cells. By in situ lineage-tracing, we found that induced loss of p53 in Keratin 8 (K8)+ luminal cells led to their clonal expansion, due to increased cell cycle activity and attenuated apoptosis control, but did not directly affect their luminal identity. All induced mice eventually developed either Claudin-Low mammary tumors with 9qA1 (Yap1) amplification or Basal-Like tumors with 6qA1-A2 (Met) amplification. These data suggest that although p53 does not directly control the luminal fate, its loss facilitates acquisition of MaSC-like properties by luminal cells and predisposes them to development of mammary tumors with loss of luminal identity.

The histone demethylase KDM6A controls the mammary luminal lineage through enzyme-independent mechanisms

Project description:Mammary ducts and alveoli are composed of basal and luminal cells, with the fate and differentiation of secreting cells being controlled by hormones through specific transcription factors. This study establishes the essential role of the histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) demethylase KDM6A (UTX) in a balanced basal and luminal cell compartment. Disproportionate formation of basal cells in the absence of KDM6A resulted in disorganized mammary ducts and alveoli and lactation failure. Mutant luminal progenitors lost their distinctive transcription factor expression pattern and acquired basal characteristics leading to a preferential expansion of this lineage. The structure of mammospheres obtained from mutant progenitors suggested they were derived from basal progenitors. The genomic H3K27me3 landscape was unaltered in the absence of KDM6A suggesting demethylase-independent mechanisms. In support of this, mammary tissue developed normally in mice expressing a catalytically inactive KDM6A. This study demonstrated that mammary luminal progenitor cells rely on UTX to stably maintain their identity and thereby establish a balance of basal and luminal cells required for a functional mammary gland.

Inactivation of LATS1/2 drives luminal-basal plasticity to initiate basal-like mammary carcinomas

Project description:Basal breast cancers, an aggressive breast cancer subtype that has poor treatment options, are thought to arise from luminal mammary epithelial cells that undergo basal-like plasticity through poorly understood mechanisms. Using genetic mouse models and ex vivo primary organoid cultures, we show that conditional co-deletion of the LATS1 and LATS2 kinases, key effectors of Hippo pathway signaling, in mature mammary luminal epithelial cells promotes the development of basal-like carcinomas that metastasize over time. Genetic co-deletion experiments revealed that phenotypes resulting from the loss of LATS1/2 activity are dependent on the transcriptional regulators YAP/TAZ. Notably, transcriptional analyses of LATS1/2-deleted mammary epithelial cells revealed a gene expression program that associates with human basal breast cancers. Our study demonstrates in vivo roles for the LATS1/2 kinases in mammary epithelial homeostasis and luminal-basal fate control and implicates signaling networks induced upon the loss of LATS1/2 activity in the development of basal breast cancers.

Expression data from sorted control and Pygo2-null mouse mammary stem/basal cells

Project description:Skin-mammary specific knockout (SSKO) of Pygo2 (K14-cre; Pygo2 flox/-) , a WNT signaling co-activator, results in defective mouse mammary gland development. The FACS sorted mammary stem cell (MaSC)/basal population from Pygo2 SSKO mammary gland displays biased differentiation towards luminal/alveolar lineage in vitro, and reduced regeneration rate of new mammary gland in vivo To gain the insight into gene expression profiles in control and Pygo2 SSKO mammary epithelial cells (MECs), we sorted the freshly isolated mouse MECs into MaSC/basal (Lin-CD29hiCD24+) and mature luminal population (Lin-CD29lowCD24+CD61-), and extract total RNA for cDNA microarray analysis

Microarray expression profiling data for Trp53-null mammary epithelial cells and tumors from a mouse model with a K8+ luminal cell origin

Project description:Mammary epithelium is hierarchically organized, with multipotent basal mammary stem cells (MaSCs) producing both luminal and basal cells during development or upon transplantation. Recent studies suggested that most breast cancers might originate from luminal cells, and oncogenic events, such as ectopic expression of PIK3CAH1047R, could induce multipotency in committed luminal cells. p53 is the most commonly mutated gene in human breast cancer; in particular, its inactivating mutations are found in most triple-negative breast cancers, raising a question as to whether p53-loss plays a key role in acquisition of MaSC-like properties by luminal cells. By in situ lineage tracing, we found that induced loss of p53 in Keratin 8 (K8)+ luminal cells led to their clonal expansion, in part due to increased proliferation, but did not directly affect their luminal identity. Expansion of luminal cells, in particular oestrogen receptor-positive luminal cells, was observed 3-4 weeks after induced p53-loss, which was accompanied by increased expression of cell cycle genes and downregulation of genes related to immune microenvironment, p53 downstream pathway and apoptosis control. All induced mice eventually developed mammary tumours with 9qA1 (Yap1) amplification and/or 6qA2 (Met) amplification. The resulting tumours exhibited a MaSC-like expression signature and most closely resembled Claudin-Low breast cancer. Overall, these data suggest that although p53 does not directly control the luminal fate, its loss facilitates acquisition of MaSC-like properties by luminal cells and predisposes them to development of mammary tumours with loss of luminal identity. Our data also suggest that Claudin-Low breast cancer can originate from luminal cells, possibly upon transition through a basal-like state.
