Systemic and breast chronic inflammation and hormone disposition promote a tumor-permissive environment for breast cancer in older women (Rat snRNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: Estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer, the most common subtype of breast cancer, is an age-related disease, with the peak incidence of diagnosis occurring around age 70 despite low circulating levels of estradiol. Despite the hormone sensitivity of these age-related tumors, our understanding of the interplay between the systemic and local hormonal disposition and chronic inflammaging is limited. We show that aged F344 rats treated with the DMBA/MPA carcinogen develop more tumors at faster rates than their younger counterparts, suggesting that the aged environment accelerates tumor growth. snRNA-seq of the tumors showed broad local immune dysfunction that was associated with circulating chronic inflammation. Across a broad cohort of specimens from patients with ER+ breast cancer and age-matched donors of normal breast tissue, we observe that even with E1-predominant estrogen disposition in the systemic circulation, tumors in older patients upregulate HSD17B7 expression to convert E1 to E2 in the TME. Age-related accumulation of tumor-associated macrophages serve as signaling hubs that integrate the E2 and chemokine-driven chronic inflammatory signaling in the TME, which polarize TAMs towards a CD206+/PD-L1+, immunosuppressive phenotype. Overall, these findings suggest that the host’s chronic inflammation and hormonal disposition shape the local tumor microenvironment and are critical contributors to the age-related nature of ER+ breast cancer development and growth.

Age and estrogen-dependent inflammation in breast adenocarcinoma and normal breast tissue [cohort_2]

Project description:Chronic inflammation promotes breast tumor growth and invasion by accelerating angiogenesis and tissue remodeling in the tumor microenvironment. The relationship between inflammation and estrogen, which drives the growth of 70 percent of breast tumors, is complex. Low levels of estrogen exposure stimulate macrophages and other inflammatory cell populations, but very high levels are immune suppressive. Breast tumor incidence is increased by obesity and age, which interact to influence inflammatory cell populations in normal breast tissue. The molecular impact of these factors on tumor initiation and growth is not well-understood. We modeled the difference in gene expression between 195 breast adenocarcinomas and 195 matched adjacent normal breast tissue samples, using age, body mass index (BMI), and tumor subtype as covariates. Age and BMI were independently associated with inflammation in normal tissue but not tumors. Older patients with ER-positive disease had tumors with higher levels of Estrogen Receptor (ER) signaling compared to adjacent normal tissue and had lower relative levels of tumor macrophage expression. We developed a novel statistic to quantify the rewiring of gene co-expression networks and demonstrate that in ER-positive tumors basal gene networks are rewired even though their expression levels of these genes are not significantly different from those in adjacent normal tissue. Patient age influences the molecular profile of ER-positive breast tumors. Our data support an immunosuppressive effect of estrogen signaling in the breast tumor microenvironment, suggesting this effect contributes to the greater presence of prognostic and therapeutically relevant immune cells in ER-negative tumors. 296 total samples: 148 breast adenocarcinoma, 148 paired adjacent normal breast tissue
