Project description:Disruptions of systemic homeostasis have emerged as critical regulators of cancer. Recent studies indicate that chronic or acute host stressors (e.g., obesity1, surgery2) alter cancer pathogenesis. Many cancer patients, particularly those with breast cancer, are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease due to treatment toxicity and resulting changes in lifestyle behaviors3-5. While elevated risk and incidence of cardiovascular events in breast cancer is well-established, whether such events impact cancer pathogenesis is not known. Herein, we show that an incident myocardial infarction (MI or heart attack) accelerates breast cancer outgrowth and cancer-specific mortality in mice and humans. In mouse models of breast cancer, MI epigenetically reprogrammed Ly6Chigh monocytes in the bone marrow reservoir to an immunosuppressive phenotype that was maintained at the transcriptional level in monocytes in the circulation and tumor. In parallel, MI increased circulating Ly6Chigh monocyte levels and recruitment to tumors, and depletion of these cells abrogated MI-induced tumor growth. Furthermore, evaluation of the relationship between a new onset post-diagnosis cardiovascular event and cancer outcomes in early-stage breast cancer patients revealed increased risk of recurrence and cancer-specific death, highlighting the clinical relevance of our findings. Collectively, our results demonstrate that MI induces alterations to systemic homeostasis, triggering cross-disease communication Disruptions of systemic homeostasis have emerged as critical regulators of cancer.
