Project description:Bone metastasis is the leading cause of prostate cancer (PCa) mortality, frequently marking the progression to castration-resistant PCa. In this study, we compared the molecular pathways enriched in a set of bone metastasis from breast and prostate cancer from snap-frozen tissue. To further model PCa drug resistance mechanisms, we used two patient-derived xenografts (PDX) models of bone-metastatic PCa, BM18 and LAPC9.

Project description:Most cancer deaths are due to metastatic dissemination to distant organs. Bone is the most frequently affected organ in metastatic prostate cancer and a major cause of prostate cancer deaths. Yet, our partial understanding of the molecular factors that drive bone metastasis has been a limiting factor for developing preventative and therapeutic strategies to improve patient survival and well-being. Although recent studies have uncovered molecular alterations that occur in prostate cancer metastasis, their functional relevance for bone metastasis is not well understood. Using genome-wide CRISPR activation and inhibition screens we have identified multiple drivers and suppressors of prostate cancer metastasis. Through functional validation, including innovative organ-on-a-chip invasion platform for studying bone tropism, our study identifies the transcriptional modulator, CITED2, as a novel driver of prostate cancer bone metastasis and uncovers multiple new potential molecular targets for bone metastatic disease.

Project description:Bone is the most common site of breast cancer metastasis. Bone metastasis are incurable and are associated with severe morbidity. Utilizing an immunocompetent mouse model of spontaneous breast cancer bone metastasis, we profiled the immune transcriptome of bone metastatic lesions and peripheral bone marrow at distinct metastatic stages, revealing dynamic changes during the metastatic process. We show that crosstalk between granulocytes and T cells is central to shaping an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Specifically, we identified the PD-1 and TIGIT signaling axes and the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1b as central players in the interactions between granulocytes and T cells. Targeting these pathways in vivo resulted in attenuated bone metastasis and improved survival, by reactivating anti-tumor immunity. Analysis of patient samples revealed that TIGIT and IL-1b are prominent in human bone metastasis. Our findings suggest that co-targeting immunosuppressive granulocytes and dysfunctional T cells may be a promising novel therapeutic strategy to inhibit bone metastasis.

Project description:MAF-amplification increases the risk of breast cancer (BCa) metastasis through poorly understood mechanisms but with important clinical implications. Estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) BCa associated with estrogen (E2) dependency sustains growth of early of breast carcinomas, but ultimately, supports metastasis by unknown mechanisms. Here we integrate proteomics, (epi)genomics and functional assays derived from human and syngeneic BCa mouse models to show that MAF directly interacts with ERalpha, thereby promoting a unique chromatin state that favors the metastatic spread of ER+ BCa cells. Indeed, we identify a set of metastasis-promoting genes that are de novo licenced following EERa2-exposure in a MAF-dependent manner. Among these we found factors influence the establishment of cellular identity and with a known role in metastasis initiation (e.g. SOX9), as well as modulators of the bone stroma, which can ultimately aid in preparing the bone metastatic “soil” (e.g. FGF18, PTHLH and JAG1). Central to the epigenomic remodeling that facilitates the expression of the MAF/E2 gene set is the histone demethylase KDM1A. Indeed, loss of KDM1A activity prevents MAF/E2-mediated BCa metastasis. Collectively, here we disentangle the molecular framework that underlies MAF/E2-mediated metastasis and demonstrate that genetic, epigenetic and hormonal systemic cues are integrated in BCa cells to determine their metastatic success, and with it patient prognosis.

Project description:Breast cancer metastases develop in the bone more frequently than any other site, and are a common cause of morbidity in the form of bone pain, pathological fractures, nerve compression, and life-threatening hypercalcemia. Despite ongoing research efforts, the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate breast cancer cell homing to and colonization of the bone as well as resultant pathological bone alteration remain poorly understood. To identify key mediators promoting breast cancer metastasis to bone, we utilized an immunocompetent, syngeneic murine model of breast cancer metastasis employing the mammary tumor cell line NT2.5. Following intracardiac injection of NT2.5 cells in neu-N mice, metastases developed in the bone, liver, and lung, closely mimicking the anatomical distribution of metastases in breast cancer patients. Using an in vivo selection process, we established NT2.5 sub-lines demonstrating an enhanced ability to colonize the bone and liver. Genome-wide cDNA microarray analysis comparing gene expression between parental NT2.5 cells and established sub-lines was performed. Individual samples of RNA from parental NT2.5 cells, early passage (BO3 and LI1) sub-lines, and final passage (BO6 and LI3) sub-lines were compared using GeneChip® Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays

Project description:Gene Expression Profiling of Breast Cancer Patients with Brain Metastases Brain metastases confer the worst prognosis of breast cancer as no therapy exists that prevents or eliminates the cancer from spreading to the brain. We developed a new computational modeling method to derive specific downstream signaling pathways that reveal unknown target-disease connections and new mechanisms for specific cancer subtypes. The model enables us to reposition drugs based on available gene expression data of patients. We applied this model to repurpose known or shelved drugs for brain, lung, and bone metastases of breast cancer with the hypothesis that cancer subtypes have their own specific signaling mechanisms. To test the hypothesis, we addressed the specific CSBs for each metastasis that satisfy that (1) CSB proteins are activated by the maximal number of enriched signaling pathways specific to this metastasis, and (2) CSB proteins involve in the most differential expressed coding-genes specific to the specific breast cancer metastasis. The identified signaling networks for the three types of metastases contain 31, 15, and 18 proteins, respectively, and are used to reposition 15, 9, and 2 drug candidates for the brain, lung, and bone metastases of breast cancer. We performed in vitro and in vivo preclinical experiments as well as analysis on patient tumor specimens to evaluate the targets and repositioned drugs. Two known drugs, Sunitinib (FDA approved for renal cell carcinoma and imatinib-resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumor) and Dasatinib (FDA approved for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) after imatinib treatment and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia), were shown to prohibit the metastatic colonization in brain. The TMH-52 cohort includes 11 patients who were examined with brain metastasis at the time of breast cancer diagnosis. The other 41 patients were examined with other organ metastasis at the time of breast cancer diagnosis.

Project description:Bone is the primary site of breast cancer metastasis and complications associated with bone metastases can lead to a significantly decreased quality of life in these patients. Thus, it is essential to gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie the emergence and growth of breast cancer skeletal metastases. Methods: To search for novel molecular mediators that influence breast cancer bone metastasis, we generated gene expression profiles from laser capture micro-dissected trephine biopsies of both breast cancer bone metastases and primary breast tumors that metastasized to bone. Bioinformatics analysis identified genes that are differentially expressed in breast cancer bone metastases compared to primary mammary tumors. Results: ABCC5, an ATP-dependent transporter, was found to be overexpressed in breast cancer osseous metastases relative to primary mammary tumors. In addition, ABCC5 was significantly up-regulated in human and mouse breast cancer cell lines with high bone-metastatic potential. Stable knockdown of ABCC5 significant reduced bone metastatic burden and osteolytic bone destruction in mice. The decrease in osteolysis was further associated with diminished osteoclast numbers. Conclusions: Our data, for the first time, suggests that ABCC5 functions as a mediator of breast cancer skeletal metastasis. ABCC5 expression in breast cancer cells is important for the efficient bone resorption mediated by osteoclasts. Hence, ABCC5 may be a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer bone metastasis. primary breast tumors vs. bone trephine biopsies

Project description:Understanding the molecular mechanisms and gene expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) may explain its aggressive biological behavior and regional metastasis pathways. Better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying LSCC metastasis and the search for possible molecular targets seems promising. Interpreting the links between the differentially expressed genes in advanced stages can lead to a search for predictive markers that can also help determine the possible treatment routes. We designed this study to detect possible genetic alterations in a homogeneous group of patients with locoregionally advanced laryngeal cancer who underwent total laryngectomy and neck dissection. Patients with and without lymph node metastasis were selected to examine the differential gene expression in the normal mucosa, tumor, and lymph node tissues of each patient. Our main purpose was to identify the possible commonly expressed genes in this homogenous group of Turkish patients with locoregionally advanced laryngeal cancer. Second, we aimed to determine the predictive role of these genes in lymph node metastasis and overall prognosis.
