Project description:Triple-Negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer that is associated with poor prognosis due to its propensity to form metastases. Unfortunately, the current treatment options are limited to chemotherapy such that identification of actionable targets are needed. The receptor tyrosine kinase AXL plays a role in the tumor cell dissemination and its expression in TNBC correlates with poor patients? survival. Here, we explored whether exploiting an AXL knockdown gene signature in TNBC cells may offer an opportunity for drug repurposing. To this end, we queried the PharmacoGx pharmacogenomics platform with an AXL gene signature which revealed Phenothiazines, a class of Dopamine Receptors antagonists (Thioridazine, Fluphenazine and Trifluoperazine) typically used as anti-psychotics. We next tested if drugs may be active to limit growth and metastatic progression of TNBC cells, similarly to AXL depletion. We found that the Phenothiazines were able to reduce cel l invasion, proliferation and viability, and also increased apoptosis of TNBC cells in vitro. Mechanistically, these drugs did not affect AXL activity but instead reduced PI3K/AKT/mTOR and ERK signaling. When administered to mice bearing TNBC xenografts, these drugs showed were able to reduce tumor growth and metastatic burden. Collectively, these results suggest that these antipsychotics are novel anti-tumor and anti-metastatic agents that could potentially be repurposed, in combination with standard chemotherapy, for use in TNBC.

Project description:Since bone metastatic breast cancer is an incurable disease, causing significant morbidity and mortality, understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms would be highly valuable. Here, we describe in vitro and in vivo evidence for the importance of serine biosynthesis in the metastasis of breast cancer to bone. We first characterized the bone metastatic propensity of the MDA-MB-231(SA) cell line variant as compared to the parental MDA-MB-231 cells by radiographic and histological observations in the inoculated mice. Genome-wide gene expression profiling of this isogenic cell line pair revealed that all the three genes involved in the L-serine biosynthesis pathway, phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1), and phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) were upregulated in the highly metastatic variant. This pathway is the primary endogenous source for L-serine in mammalian tissues. Consistently, we observed that the proliferation of MDA-MB-231(SA) cells in serine-free conditions was dependent on PSAT1 expression. In addition, we observed that L-serine is essential for the formation of bone resorbing human osteoclasts and may thus contribute to the vicious cycle of osteolytic bone metastasis. High expression of PHGDH and PSAT1 in primary breast cancer was significantly associated with decreased relapse-free and overall survival of patients and malignant phenotypic features of breast cancer. In conclusion, high expression of serine biosynthesis genes in metastatic breast cancer cells and the stimulating effect of L-serine on osteoclastogenesis and cancer cell proliferation indicate a functionally critical role for serine biosynthesis in bone metastatic breast cancer and thereby an opportunity for targeted therapeutic interventions. Parental MDA-MB-231 cells and MDA-MB-231(SA) cells were cultured in cell culture flasks. RNA was isolated in order to compare the gene expression profiles of these cell variants. Total of two samples. No replicates.

Project description:Matrix remodeling associated protein 8 or MXRA8 is a transmembrane protein that can binds arthritogenic alpha viruses like the Chikunggunya virus and provide viral entry into cells. MXRA8 can also interact with integrin β3 and thus possibly regulate cell-cell interactions and binding to the extracellular matrix. While MXRA8 has been associated with reduced survival in patients with colorectal and renal clear cell cancers, the role of MXRA8 in breast cancer remains unexplored. Our previous work exploring genes that mediate the anti-tumor effects of the miR-200c/141 cluster in breast cancer identified MXRA8 as a potential suppressor of breast cancer growth and metastasis. In the current study, MXRA8 was knocked out in the human triple negative breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231. Loss of MXRA8 reduce cell proliferation in vitro but had no effect on apoptosis or migration in cultured cells. However, loss of MXRA8 significantly delayed tumor development and reduced metastatic dissemination to the lungs in a xenograft model. RNA sequencing identified three genes, ADMATS1, TIE1, and BMP2 whose expression were significantly reduced in MXRA8 knockout tumors compared to control tumors. MXRA8 staining of a human breast cancer tissue array revealed higher levels of MXRA8 in primary tumors and metastases of aggressive tumor subtypes (TNBC and HER2+) compared to less aggressive, ER+ breast cancers. Our findings demonstrate for the first time that MXRA8 regulates the progression of human TNBC possibly through influencing the interaction of tumor cells with their microenvironment.

Project description:Cells secrete a large variety of extracellular vesicles (EVs) to engage in cell-to-cell and cell-to-environment intercellular communication. EVs are functionally involved in many physiological and pathological processes by interacting with cells that facilitate transfer of proteins, lipids and genetic information. However, our knowledge of EVs is incomplete. We show that cells actively release exceptionally large (up to 20 µm) membrane-enclosed vesicles that exhibit active blebbing behavior, and we therefore have termed them blebbisomes. Blebbisomes contain an array of cellular organelles that include functional mitochondria and multivesicular endosomes yet lack a definable nucleus. We provide proteomic analysis of blebbisomes, large and small EVs released from metastatic MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Blebbisomes are released from normal and cancer cells, can be observed by direct imaging of cancer cells in vivo, and are present in normal bone marrow.

Project description:Coactivator associated arginine methyltransferase 1 has been reported to play paramount roles in estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-positive breast cancer. It promotes breast cancer development and metastasis. However, little research about CARM1 has been focused on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, we report that CARM1 promotes proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stemness in TNBC. CARM1 transactivates Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF1A) and is physically associated with it. They function together in a concerted complex to regulate downstream targets and promote the carcinogenesis and metastasis of TNBC.

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts promote the development of many primary malignancies, but their function in metastatic progression is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that colonization of the lungs by metastatic breast cancer cells induces an inflammatory phenotype in lung fibroblasts. CXCL9 and CXCL10 are induced in an NFκB-dependent manner in metastasis-associated fibroblasts in response IL-1α and IL-1β secreted by disseminated breast cancer cells. We find that the chemokine receptor CXCR3, that binds CXCL9/10, is expressed in a small subset of breast cancer cells that exhibits greater tumor-initiating ability when co-transplanted with fibroblasts. CXCR3-expressing cancer cells maintain JNK signaling that drives IL-1A/B expression, and thus rendering this subpopulation efficient in both inducing CXCL9/10 in lung fibroblasts and responding to the chemokines. Importantly, disruption of the CXCL9/10-CXCR3 axis significantly reduces metastatic colonization in xenograft and syngeneic mouse models suggesting an essential role of this paracrine crosstalk in metastatic progression and a potential therapeutic vulnerability for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.

Project description:Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway has become a key signaling pathway regulating mammary organogenesis and oncogenesis. However, the therapeutic methods by targeting Wnt pathway against breast cancer has been limited. To address this challenge, we investigated the function of cyclin-dependent kinase 14 (CDK14), a member of Wnt signaling pathway, in mammary development and breast cancer progression. We showed that CDK14 was expressed in the mammary basal layer and elevated in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). CDK14 knockdown reduces colony formation ability and regeneration capacity of mammary basal cells, and significantly inhibits murine MMTV-Wnt-1 basal-like mammary tumor progression. Excitingly, knockdown of CDK14 or pharmacological inhibition of CDK14 by FMF-04-159-2 significantly inhibited the progression and metastasis of human TNBC. Mechanistically, CDK14 inhibition inhibits mammary regeneration and TNBC progression by attenuating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Together, we demonstrated that CDK14 regulates mammary regeneration and breast tumorigenesis, and is a promising therapeutic target for TNBC.
