Project description:Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women worldwide, and is classified in multiple subtypes, including the so called triple-negative BC (TNBC). This is characterized by lack of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), progesterone receptor (PR) and epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/neu), that represent common targets for BC treatment. Their absence limits the number of therapies that may be applied for TNBC treatment, suggesting the need to identify novel therapeutic targets against this disease. Several studies reported that the beta ER subtype (ERβ) is expressed in a sizeable fraction of TNBCs where its presence correlates with improved patient outcome. We evaluated ERβ expression in TNBC tissues by immunohistochemistry using two validated antibodies, demonstrating presence of this protein in 28% of samples. To investigate, in this context, the role of this estrogen receptor in TNBC biology, ERβ-expressing cell lines, representing different TNBC subtypes, were generated. Cellular and functional assays confirmed the antiproliferative activity of ERβ in TNBCs. Interaction proteomics revealed in BC nuclei the presence of several protein complexes associated with this receptor involved in chromatin remodeling, miRNA maturation and mRNA transcription. Transcriptome analyses pointed out tumor subtype-specific signaling pathways deregulation. Interestingly, among these the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway was commonly downregulated in all cell lines tested. Global analyses of ERβ binding to the genome showed its recruitment to regulatory sites of Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein 1 (SREBP1), indicating a direct regulation of this pathway by the receptor. These findings suggest that drugs targeting components of cholesterol biosynthesis pathway may be new potential therapeutic options for TNBC treatment.

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an incurable disease with poor prognosis. At this moment, therapeutic options are limited to chemotherapy and no targeted agent has reached the clinical setting. Bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) inhibitors are a new family of compounds that inhibit bromodomain containing proteins affecting the expression of transcription factors (TFs), therefore modifying the expression of relevant oncogenic genes. We decided to performed gene-set enrichment analyses to get insights into the mechanism of action of these compounds. We treated cells with JQ1 and extracted RNA at 12 and 24 hours.

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly heterogeneous disease representing the most aggressive breast cancer (BC) subtype. Lack of Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα), progesterone receptor (PR) and epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/neu) expression makes TNBC immune to common therapies, significantly limiting the treatment options and suggesting the need to identify novel therapeutic targets. It was previously reported that Estrogen Receptor beta (ERβ) is expressed in a fraction of TNBC patients, where its presence correlates with improved patient outcome. Recently, we demonstrated an oncosuppressive ERβ effect in TNBC cell models expressing exogenous ERβ. On the other hand, it was shown that ERβ is involved in miRNA-mediated gene regulation in hormone-responsive BC cells, suggesting similar effect also in TNBC. To verify this hypothesis, we performed small non-coding RNA (sncRNA) sequencing on three engineered cell lines belonging to different TNBC molecular subtypes. ERβ-specific changes of sncRNA profile revealed that the major part of deregulated molecules are subtype specific, with only few commonly regulated ones. In order to validate the obtained results, we performed sncRNA profiling of 12 ERβ positive and 32 ERβ negative TNBC tissues, whose receptor status was assessed by immunohistochemistry in our previous research. Also here, ERβ-specific group of deregulated sncRNAs was identified. Interestingly, comparison of obtained in vitro and in vivo results revealed 2 differentially expressed miRNAs, displaying the same behavior in all three analyzed cell lines and tissues. In concordance with our previous results, IPA signaling pathway analysis performed on genes targeted by deregulated miRNAs highlighted downregulation of cholesterol biosynthesis pathway and upregulation of several signaling processes. Taken together, these findings suggest that ERβ is able to exert its oncosuppressive role in TNBC through miRNA-mediated regulation of gene expression.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer with very limited therapeutic options. We have recently shown that the combined inhibition of EGFR and ROCK in TNBC cells results in cell cycle arrest and ultimately cell death. However, the underlying mechanisms by which co-inhibition of EGFR and ROCK induces cell death remain unclear. To investigate the synergistic effect of the combination treatment on TNBC cells, in the present study we applied a mass spectrometry-based proteomic approach to identify proteins altered upon single and combination treatments.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease with limited treatment options. To characterize TNBC heterogeneity and treatment response, we combined functional and molecular profiling with computational analysis tools. Using these approaches, we defined transcriptional, epigenetic, and metabolic subtypes, and identified subtype-driving super-enhancers. Single cell RNA sequencing analyses revealed relative homogeneity of the three major transcriptional subtypes (luminal, basal and mesenchymal) within tumors. We found that mesenchymal TNBCs are more similar to mesenchymal neuroblastoma and rhabdoid tumors than to other TNBC subtypes, and the PRRX1 transcription factor serves as a key driver of these tumors. By directly regulating the transcription of mesenchymal genes, PRRX1 is sufficient for inducing the mesenchymal subtype but is not required for its maintenance.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the subtype of advanced breast cancer with the shortest survival time and the poorest prognosis, and treatment options are relatively limited. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles enriched with bioactive molecules, are critical mediators of intercellular communication and have been implicated in cancer progression. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanism of exosomes promoting the proliferation and migration of TNBC.
