IGFBP3 Promotes Mammary Stem Cells Activity and Tumorigenesis by Regulating IGF Bioavailability

ABSTRACT: Mammary stem cells (MaSCs) play important roles in mammary gland homeostasis. A better understanding of MaSC activity enhances our knowledge of breast cancer initiation and progression, particularly in the context of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Until now, the molecular mechanisms of MaSCs have remained elusive. Our current research has unveiled a significant enrichment of IGFBP3 expression in normal MaSCs, highlighting its indispensable role in maintaining MaSCs stemness and mammary gland development. Moreover, we show that IGFBP3 promotes breast cancer tumorigenesis and progression. Mechanistically, IGFBP3 regulates IGF1/2 bioavailability under the action of MMPs (such as MMP3), activating the IGF1R receptor and its downstream AKT and ERK1/2 signaling pathways. In clinical samples, high expression of either IGFBP3 or MMP3 is associated with poor prognosis in ER-negative or TNBC patients. Future studies should investigate the potential therapeutic benefit of IGFBP3 in TNBC.

An EMT-primary cilium-GLIS2 signaling axis regulates mammogenesis and claudin-low breast tumorigenesis

Project description:The Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) and primary ciliogenesis induce stem cell properties in basal Mammary Stem Cells (MaSCs) to promote mammogenesis, but the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that EMT transcription factors promote ciliogenesis upon intermediate EMT transition states by activating ciliogenesis inducers, including FGFR1. The resulting primary cilia promote BBS11-dependent ubiquitination and inactivation of a central signaling node, GLIS2. We show that GLIS2 inactivation promotes MaSC stemness, and GLIS2 is required for normal mammary gland development. Moreover, GLIS2 inactivation is required to induce the proliferative and tumorigenic capacities of the Mammary-Tumor-initiating cells (MaTICs) of claudin-low breast cancers. Claudin-low breast tumors can be segregated from other breast tumor subtypes based on a GLIS2-dependent gene expression signature. Collectively, our findings establish molecular mechanisms by which EMT programs induce ciliogenesis to control MaSC and MaTIC biology, mammary gland development, and claudin-low breast cancer formation.

Effect of pubertal BPA exposure on mammary stem cells

Project description:Perinatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) has been shown to cause aberrant mammary gland morphogenesis and mammary neoplastic transformation. Yet, the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that mammary glands exposed to BPA during a susceptible window may lead to its susceptibility to tumorigenesis through a stem-cell mediated mechanism. We exposed 21-day-old Balb/c mice to BPA by gavage (25 µg/kg/day) during puberty for 3 weeks, and a subset of animals were further challenged with one oral dose (30 mg/kg) of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) at 2 months of age. Primary mammary cells were isolated at 6 weeks, and 2 and 4 months of age for mammary stem cell (MaSC) quantification and function analysis. Pubertal exposure to the low-dose BPA increased lateral branches and hyperplasia in adult mammary glands and caused an acute increase of MaSC in 6-week-old glands and a delayed increase of luminal progenitors in 4-month-old adult gland. Most importantly, pubertal BPA exposure altered the function of MaSC from different age groups, causing pre-neoplastic lesions in their regenerated glands similar to those induced by DMBA exposure, which indicates that MaSCs are susceptible to BPA-induced transformation. Deep sequencing analysis on MaSC-enriched mammospheres identified a set of aberrantly expressed genes associated with pre-neoplastic lesions in human breast cancer patients. Thus, our study for the first time shows that pubertal BPA exposure altered MaSC gene expression and function such that they induced early neoplastic transformation.

Single cell transcriptome sequencing of mammary stem cells in the pubertal mammary gland

Project description:The mammary gland is a highly dynamic organ that mainly develops during puberty. Based on morphology and proliferation analysis, mammary stem cells (MaSCs) are thought to be close to or reside in the terminal end buds (TEBs) during pubertal development. However, exclusive stem cell markers are lacking, and therefore the true identity of MaSCs, including their location, multiplicity, dynamics and fate during branching morphogenesis, has yet to be defined. To gain more insights into the molecular identity and heterogeneity of the MaSC pool, we performed single cell transcriptome sequencing of mammary epithelial cells micro-dissected from ducts and TEBs during puberty. These data show that the behaviour of MaSCs cannot be directly linked to a single expression profile. Instead, morphogenesis of the mammary epithelium relies upon a heterogeneous population of MaSCs that functions long-term as a single equipotent pool of stem cells.

Bptf maintains chromatin accessibility and the self-renewal capacity of mammary gland stem cells [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Chromatin remodeling is a key requirement for transcriptional control of cellular differentiation. However, the factors that alter chromatin architecture in mammary stem cells (MaSCs) are poorly understood. Here we show that Bptf, the largest subunit of the NURF chromatin remodeling complex, is essential for MaSC self-renewal and differentiation of epithelial cells in the mammary gland. Bptf depletion arrests cells at a previously undefined stage of epithelial differentiation that is associated with an incapacity to achieve the luminal cell fate. Moreover, genome-wide analysis of DNA accessibility following genetic and chemical inhibition of Bptf, suggests a role for this factor in maintaining the open chromatin landscape of cis-regulatory elements in mammary epithelial cells (MECs). Collectively, our study implicates Bptf in maintaining the unique epigenetic state of MaSCs.

AP-2γ is Required for Maintenance of Multipotent Mammary Stem Cells

Project description:Mammary gland ductal morphogenesis depends on the differentiation of mammary stem cells (MaSCs) into basal and luminal lineages. The AP-2γ transcription factor, encoded by Tfap2c, has a central role in mammary gland development but its effect in mammary lineages and specifically MaSCs is largely unknown. Herein, we utilized an inducible, conditional knockout of Tfap2c to elucidate the role of AP-2γ in maintenance and differentiation of MaSCs. Loss of AP-2γ in the basal epithelium profoundly altered the transcriptomes and decreased the number of cells within several clusters of mammary epithelial cells, including adult MaSCs and luminal progenitors. AP-2γ regulated the expression of genes known to be required for mammary development including Cebpb, Nfkbia, and Rspo1. As a result, AP-2γ-deficient mice exhibited repressed mammary gland ductal outgrowth and inhibition of regenerative capacity. The findings demonstrate that AP-2γ can regulate development of mammary gland structures potentially regulating maintenance and differentiation of multipotent MaSCs.

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.

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.

CXCL12-CXCR4 signaling mediates the formation of a macrophageal niche for mammary gland stem cells

Project description:Niche-associated signals, essential for stem cell maintenance, are spatially confined and exert their influence locally among adjacent cells. Here, we demonstrate that CXCR4+ macrophages are enriched in the mammary ducts and enhance MaSC activity in basal cells in response to the CXCL12 secreted by luminal cells. Conditional knockout of CXCR4 in macrophages or CXCL12 in luminal cells results in similar phenotypes, including impaired branching morphogenesis, decreased stem cell functionality in basal cells, and diminished ductal association of macrophages. CXCL12 stimulation of macrophages triggers an AKT-mediated stabilization of β-catenin, increasing the expression of pro-migratory genes and multiple Wnt ligands. This process enhances the infiltration of macrophages into intraepithelial regions and their ability to support MaSC functions. Our findings elucidate a crucial role of the CXCL12-CXCR4 axis in facilitating a complex interaction among ductal macrophages and two mammary epithelial cell lineages in establishing a supportive environment for MaSCs during mammary gland development.
