Project description:Lung metastasis is a leading cause of breast cancer (BC)-related mortality, driven by the immunosuppressive traits of the metastatic tumor microenvironment. However, the mechanisms underlying cell-cell crosstalk in shaping immune evasion within the metastatic niche remain poorly defined. Here, we try to decipher the interaction between the lymphocyte antigen 6 complex locus G6Dhigh (Ly6Ghigh) neutrophil subset and cluster of differentiation 8+ T lymphocytes (CD8+ T cells), and their role in promoting pulmonary metastasis of BC.

Project description:Metastasis involves dynamic interactions between tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment. Obesity has emerged as a significant contributor to tumor progression, particularly in breast cancer (BC). This study explores the impact of obesity on BC metastasis, focusing on the role of platelets and the formation of premetastatic niches (PMN). We found that high fat diet (HFD) leads to a basal pre-activation of platelets in circulation and endothelial cells in the lungs promoting the formation of “obese PMNs”. We observed that Fibronectin (FN) expression is upregulated both in platelets and endothelial cells in the lung of HFD-fed mice. We found that HFD led to enhanced interaction between platelets, tumor cells and endothelial cells within the PMN, increasing tumor cell homing and metastasis. Importantly, therapeutic interventions such as anti-platelet antibody administration or dietary restriction showed reduced metastatic cell homing and outgrowth. Moreover, FN blocking reduced tumor cell interaction with endothelial cell in HFD conditions. Importantly, analysis of coagulation parameters in triple negative BC patients before neoadjuvant treatment showed that subjects with reduced partial thromboplastin had a significantly shorter time to relapse. These findings highlight the significance of obesity-related factors and platelet-mediated coagulation in metastasis, suggesting potential therapeutic interventions and prognostic markers for BC patients.

Project description:In metastasis, the existence tumor cells overcoming the immune system during early organ seeding is crucial, yet the dynamics of tumor-immune interactions during micrometastasis remain unclear. Examining the immune selective pressure in breast cancer (BC) mouse models, we unexpectedly found TIM3 among the most upregulated genes in metastatic surviving BC cells. The selection of TIM3+ tumor cells, was specifically occurring during early seeding of micrometastasis, escaping the immune attack and acquiring stemness. Also clinical data confirmed increased TIM3+ tumor cells in BC metastasis. The aim of the study was to understand the mechanistic insgihts of Tim3 in breast cancer cells in vivo to decipher pivotal pathways of Tim3-mediated immun-evasion.

Project description:Metastasis accounts for most of cancer-related deaths. Paracrine signaling between tumor cells and the stroma induces changes in the tumor microenvironment required for metastasis. Transcription factor c-Myb was associated with breast cancer (BC) progression but its role in metastasis remains unclear. Here we show that increased c-Myb expression in BC cells inhibits spontaneous lung metastasis through impaired tumor cell extravasation. On contrary, BC cells with increased lung metastatic capacity exhibited low c-Myb levels. We identified a specific inflammatory signature, including Ccl2 chemokine; that was expressed in lung metastatic cells but was suppressed in tumor cells with higher c-Myb levels. Tumor cell-derived Ccl2 expression facilitated lung metastasis and rescued trans-endothelial migration of c-Myb overexpressing cells. Clinical data show that the identified inflammatory signature, together with a MYB expression, predicts lung metastasis relapse in BC patients. These results demonstrate that the c-Myb-regulated transcriptional program in BCs results in a blunted inflammatory response and consequently suppresses lung metastasis.

Project description:Bone is the most common metastasis site in patients with breast cancer, and approximately up to 80% of patients with advanced breast cancer (BC) develop bone metastasis (BM), which leads to a worse prognosis with a median survival of 16 months and skeletal-related events (SREs), including severe bone pain, pathological fracture, hypercalcemia and lethal complications. Using quantitative proteomics mass-spectrometry (MS) analysis of low bone-metastatic BC cells (MDA-MB-231) and high bone-metastatic BC cells (SCP2), we identified an unreported breast cancer (BC) cells–secreted microprotein, LINC00263-P, encoded by lincRNA LINC00263 and clinically associated with BC bone-tropism.

Project description:Clinical management of breast cancer (BC) metastasis remains an unmet need as it accounts for 90% of BC-associated mortality. Although the luminal subtype, which represents >70% of BC cases, is generally associated with a favorable outcome, it is susceptible to metastatic relapse as late as 15 years after treatment discontinuation. Seeking therapeutic approaches as well as screening tools to properly identify those patients with a higher risk of recurrence is therefore essential. Here, we report that the lipid-degrading enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a predictor of long-term survival in patients with luminal BC, and that it blocks tumor progression and lung metastasis in cell and mouse models of BC. Together, our findings highlight the potential of FAAH as a biomarker with prognostic value in luminal BC and as a therapeutic target in metastatic disease.

Project description:When tumor cells colonize distant organs during metastasis, they interact extensively with surrounding cells. These interactions often change the behavior of surrounding cell populations which collectively induce a pro-tumor microenvironment that permits tumor cell outgrowth into overt, clinically detectable metastatic disease. The lung is one of the most common sites of breast cancer (BC) metastasis, and alveolar epithelial cells are the most common cell type in the lung. A gap in our ability to treat patients with established lung metastases lies in our lack of knowledge regarding how the lung microenvironment is remodeled during metastatic outgrowth and how this contributes to disease progression. Immunocompetent preclinical mouse models of BC metastasis were used to study late-stage lung metastatic outgrowth, the stage at which most patients are diagnosed with metastatic disease. A custom imaging panel was developed to quantify lung wound repair and inflammation, and single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) was performed on mouse lungs with high or low metastatic burden to identify cell-type specific genes altered during metastatic outgrowth. No-contact co-culture experiments were used to examine reciprocal paracrine interactions between lung type II alveolar epithelial (AT2) cells and BC cells. A chronic wound repair-related phenotype developed within the lung microenvironment during metastatic outgrowth, which was characterized by an increased number and activation of AT2 cells surrounding growing metastases. scRNAseq of lungs with a high versus low metastatic burden showed that metastatic outgrowth significantly changed AT2 gene expression, resulting in a modified secretome. No-contact co-culture experiments indicated that BC-derived secreted factors alter AT2 gene expression, while AT2-derived secreted factors promoted TNBC growth. We investigated the possible mechanism(s) responsible for these effects and found that AT2 secreted factor genes, regulated by the cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), contribute to BC proliferation. Targeting CREB signaling with the phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor roflumilast reduced AT2-BC reciprocal interactions in vitro and metastatic outgrowth in vivo. Our studies demonstrate the potential for targeting metastasis-associated wound repair and lung epithelial cell activation with PDE4 inhibitors. This strategy may be an effective way to treat and manage metastatic BC progression in established, clinically detectable disease.

Project description:When tumor cells colonize distant organs during metastasis, they interact extensively with surrounding cells. These interactions often change the behavior of surrounding cell populations which collectively induce a pro-tumor microenvironment that permits tumor cell outgrowth into overt, clinically detectable metastatic disease. The lung is one of the most common sites of breast cancer (BC) metastasis. A chronic wound repair-related phenotype developed within the lung microenvironment during metastatic outgrowth in immunocompetent preclinical mouse models of BC. This phenotype was characterized by an increased number and activation of lung type II alveolar epithelial (AT2) cells surrounding growing metastases. Metastatic outgrowth significantly changed AT2 gene expression, resulting in a modified secretome. AT2-derived secreted factors also promote triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) growth. AT2 secreted factors are regulated by the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) response element-binding protein (CREB). Targeting CREB signaling with the phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor roflumilast reduced AT2-BC reciprocal interactions in vitro and metastatic outgrowth in vivo. Finally, AT2 cells adjacent to metastases in lungs from patients with metastatic BC express higher PDE4B compared to AT2 cells in normal lungs. Alveolar epithelial cells are the most common cell type in the lung. Our studies demonstrate the potential for targeting metastasis-associated wound repair and lung epithelial cell activation during metastatic outgrowth with FDA-approved PDE4 inhibitors. This strategy may be an effective way to treat and manage progression of established metastatic BC within the lung.

Project description:Breast carcinoma (BC) is the leading cause of death in women worldwide, making up 23% of all cancers in women, with 1.38 million new cases worldwide annually and responsible for 460,000 deaths. Despite the significant advances in the identification of molecular markers and different modalities of treatment in primary BC, the ability to predict the metastatic behavior in breast cancer is still limited. The purpose of this study was to help identify novel molecular markers associated with clinical outcome in a cohort of Brazilian BC patients. We generated global gene expression profiles from 24 patients with invasive ductal BC followed for ⥠5-years, including 15 samples from patients classified as presenting good prognosis based on traditional markers and clinical criteria and 9 patients that developed metastasis. We identified a set of 58 differentially expressed genes (p â¤0.01) between groups of patients with good and poor prognosis. Up-regulation of B3GNT7, PPM1D, TNKS2, PHB and GTSE1 in patients with poor prognosis was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR in an independent sample set from patients with BC (47 with good prognosis and 8 that presented metastasis). Expression of BAD protein was investigated by immunohistochemistry in 1276 BC samples and confirmed the reduced expression levels in metastatic cases observed in the oligoarray data. These findings point to novel prognostic markers that can distinguish breast carcinoma samples according to clinical course and progression of the disease. Global expression profiles from 38 ductal breast tumor patient samples were used to search for molecular signatures correlated with current prognostic markers. A subset of 24 cases comprising 15 patients that remained free of disease after surgery and 9 patients that developed metastasis was used to identify candidate biomarkers associated with metastatic progression. Candidates were subsequently validated in additional independent samples by RT-qPCR or immunohistochemistry.

Project description:Resistance to endocrine treatments and CDK4/6 inhibitors is considered a near-inevitability in most patients with estrogen receptor positive breast cancers (ER + BC). By genomic and metabolomics analyses of patients' tumours, metastasis-derived patient-derived xenografts (PDX) and isogenic cell lines we demonstrate that a fraction of metastatic ER + BC is highly reliant on oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Treatment by the OXPHOS inhibitor IACS-010759 strongly inhibits tumour growth in multiple endocrine and palbociclib resistant PDX. Mutations in the PIK3CA/AKT1 genes are significantly associated with response to IACS-010759. At the metabolic level, in vivo response to IACS-010759 is associated with decreased levels of metabolites of the glutathione, glycogen and pentose phosphate pathways in treated tumours. In vitro, endocrine and palbociclib resistant cells show increased OXPHOS dependency and increased ROS levels upon IACS-010759 treatment. Finally, in ER + BC patients, high expression of OXPHOS associated genes predict poor prognosis. In conclusion, these results identify OXPHOS as a promising target for treatment resistant ER + BC patients.
