Transformation of enriched mammary cell populations with Polyoma Middle T Antigen influences tumor subtype and metastatic potential

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer is a multifaceted disease, exhibiting significant molecular, histological, and pathological diversity. Factors that impact this heterogeneity are poorly understood; however, transformation of distinct normal cell populations of the breast may generate different tumor phenotypes. Our previous study demonstrates that the polyomavirus middle T antigen (PyMT) oncogene can establish diverse tumor subtypes when broadly expressed within mouse mammary epithelial cells. Herein, we assess the molecular, histological, and metastatic outcomes from distinct mammary cell populations transformed with PyMT. By combining several methodologies, including lentiviral infection, cell sorting, and transplantation, we have characterized tumors arising from enriched populations of mammary epithelial cells. We have found that expression of PyMT within different cell populations influences tumor histology, molecular subtype, and metastatic potential.

We have found that expression of PyMT within different cell populations influences tumor histology, molecular subtype, and metastatic potential. 32 samples, 1 from each of 32 mouse mammary tumors arising from transplanted mouse mamary epithelial cells (MMECs) transduced with PyMT-expressing lentivirus. MMECs were sorted into four different types prior to transplant: luminal CD133+ (8 samples), luminal CD133- (11 samples), stem (6 samples), and basal (7 samples). The background for the cell donor and transplant recipients mice was FVB/NJ obtained from Jackson Laboratories.

Consequences of sEH deletion in the polyoma middle T (PyMT) breast cancer tumor proteome

Project description:The aim of this investigation was to study the consequences of interfering with soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) expression on tumor growth and metastasis in genetically modified animals that spontaneously generate tumors without the exogenous application of high concentrations of epoxide mediators or inhibitors. Therefore, breast cancer development was studied in mice expressing the polyoma middle T oncogene (PyMT) under the control of the mouse mammary tumor virus promoter, to induce spontaneous mammary tumors. To facilitate the study of endogenous sEH activity in tumor growth, PyMT mice were then crossed with sEH-/- mice to generate sEH-deficient mice that spontaneously generate breast tumors (so called PyMTsEH mice). For these analyses, primary tumors were removed from 20 week old mice.

Proteolysis - hallmark of tumor-initiating cells in polyoma-middle-T-oncogene induced murine mammary carcinomas.

Project description:Tumor initiating cells (TIC) have been identified and functionally characterized in hematological malignancies as well as in solid tumors such as breast cancer. In addition to their high tumor-initiating potency, TICs are important for metastasis formation and involved in chemotherapy resistance. Here we explored the molecular pathways that enable the tumor initiating potential of a cancer cell subset of the transgenic MMTV-PyMT mouse model for metastasizing breast cancer. The cell population, characterized by the marker profile CD24+CD90+CD45-, revealed a high tumorigenicity compared to CD24-CD90- cancer cells in colony formation assays as well as upon orthotopic transplantation into the mammary fad pad of mice. In addition, these orthotropically grown CD24+CD90+ TICs metastasized to the lungs. Upon cell sorting from primary tumors the transcriptome of TICs was compared with that of CD24-CD90- cancer cells by RNAseq. In addition to more established TIC signatures, such as epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or mitogen signaling, an upregulated gene set comprising several classes of proteolytic enzymes was uncovered in CD24+CD90+TICs. Accordingly, TICs showed a high intra- and extracellular proteolytic activity. Application of a broad range of protease inhibitors to TICs in a colony formation assay reduced anchorage independent growth and had an impact on the colony morphology in 3D cell culture assays. Proteases have been frequently implicated in tumor growth and progression by shaping the extracellular environment and liberating growth factors, cytokines and chemokines. We conclude that CD24+CD90+ cells of the MMTV- PyMT mouse model possess an upregulated proteolytic signature that is likely to represent a functional hallmark of metastatic TICs of mammary carcinomas.

Effect of Spot14 Loss on Gene Expression Profile of MMTV-PyMT Mouse Tumors

Project description:The objective of this study was to determine the effect of Thyroid Hormone Responsive Protein Spot14 (Spot14) loss on the gene expression profiles of tumors from MMTV-Polyomavirus middle-T antigen (PyMT) mice. MMTV-PyMT/S14-heterozygous mice were crossed with S14-heterozygous mice and 1 cm tumors from MMTV-PyMT control (wild-type S14) or MMTV-PyMT/S14-null offspring were profiled using Affymetrix gene arrays. Tumor latency was not different between groups; however, tumors lacking S14 grew significantly slower than control tumors. Loss of S14 also decreased the levels of de novo synthesized fatty acids in mammary tumors. In additional studies, performed on MMTV-Neu mice, we found that S14 overexpression was associated with increased tumor cell proliferation and elevated levels of tumor fatty acids. Gene expression profiling revealed that S14 loss and overexpression in mouse mammary tumors altered pathways associated with proliferation and metabolism. This study provides important information about the role of S14 in mammary tumorigenesis and tumor metabolism. Microarray analysis was performed on 4 mammary tumors from MMTV-PyMT mice and 4 tumors from MMTV-PyMT/S14-null mice.
