Project description:Experiment: Expression profiling in breast cancer brain metastases (BC) compared to breast cancers (BC) and primary brain tumors (prBT). The objectives are to identify expression profiles that are specific to BCBM in order to identify new molecular biomarkers. The characterization of the BCBM samples included adjacent genetic techniques.

Project description:Purpose: There is an unmet clinical need for biomarkers to identify breast cancer patients who are at increased risk of developing brain metastases. The objective is to identify gene signatures and biological pathways associated with HER2+ brain metastasis. Experimental Design: Gene expression of 19 HER2+ breast cancer brain metastases was compared with HER2+ nonmetastatic primary tumors. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis was used to identify a signature, which was evaluated for correlation with BRCA1 mutation status and clinical outcome using published microarray datasets and for correlation with pharmacological inhibition by a PARP inhibitor and temozolomide using published microarray datasets of breast cancer cell lines. Results: A BRCA1 Deficient-Like (BD-L) gene signature is significantly correlated with HER2+ metastases in both our and an independent cohort. BD-L signature is enriched in BRCA1 mutation carrier primary tumors and HER2-/ER- sporadic tumors, but high values are found in a subset of ER+ and HER2+ tumors. Elevated BD-L signature in primary tumors is associated with increased risk of overall relapse, brain relapse, and decreased survival. The BD-L signature correlates with pharmacologic response to PARP inhibitor and temozolomide in two independent microarray datasets, and the signature outperformed four published gene signatures of BRCA1/2 deficiency. Conclusions: The BD-L signature is enriched in breast cancer brain metastases and identifies a subset of primary tumors with increased propensity for brain metastasis. Furthermore, this signature may serve as a biomarker to identify sporadic breast cancer patients who could benefit from a therapeutic combination of PARP inhibitor and temozolomide. Gene expression of 19 HER2+ human breast cancer brain metastases was compared with gene expression of 19 HER2+ nonmetastatic primary human breast tumors.

Project description:Gene Expression Profiling of a Mouse Xenograft Model of “Triple-Negative” Breast Cancer Brain Metastases With and Without Vorinostat Treatment. Purpose: As chemotherapy and molecular therapy improve the systemic survival of breast cancer patients, the incidence of brain metastases increases. Few therapeutic strategies exist for the treatment of brain metastases because the blood-brain barrier severely limits drug access. We report the pharmacokinetic, efficacy, and mechanism of action studies for the histone deactylase inhibitor vorinostat (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid) in a preclinical model of brain metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer. Experimental Design: The 231-BR brain trophic subline of the MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell line was injected into immunocompromised mice for pharmacokinetic and metastasis studies. Pharmacodynamic studies compared histone acetylation, apoptosis, proliferation, and DNA damage in vitro and in vivo. Results: Following systemic administration, uptake of [14C]vorinostat was significant into normal rodent brain and accumulation was up to 3-fold higher in a proportion of metastases formed by 231-BR cells. Vorinostat prevented the development of 231-BR micrometastases by 28% (P = 0.017) and large metastases by 62% (P < 0.0001) compared with vehicle-treated mice when treatment was initiated on day 3 post-injection. The inhibitory activity of vorinostat as a single agent was linked to a novel function in vivo: induction of DNA double-strand breaks associated with the down-regulation of the DNA repair gene Rad52. Conclusions: We report the first preclinical data for the prevention of brain metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer. Vorinostat is brain permeable and can prevent the formation of brain metastases by 62%. Its mechanism of action involves the induction of DNA double-strand breaks, suggesting rational combinations with DNA active drugs or radiation.

Project description:Breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM) are a severe condition with high demand for improved personalized treatment, but a comprehensive understanding of BCBM immune-microenvironment heterogeneity and susceptibility to immunotherapy is lacking. Here, we multimodally profile the immune niche in a vast, clinically well-annotated cohort of 156 BCBM applying tissue cytometry, bulk and single nuclei RNA-sequencing, flow cytometry, and spatial transcriptomics, complemented by functional studies in patient-derived models. Integrative analyses reveal two immune landscapes predicting prolonged patient survival and not deducible from paired primary tumors: 1) BCBM with a high proportion of CD8 tissue-resident-like memory T cells as major players of tumor immune control. 2) BCBM containing tertiary lymphoid structures. Surrogate signatures of these landscapes are prognostic in independent BCBM and primary breast cancer cohorts, are associated with fewer metastases, and predict immunotherapy response. Our work provides critical insights into anti-tumor immunity in BCBM and identifies novel biomarkers with translational relevance.

Experiment Overall Design: We performed gene expression profiling on metastases from vehicle- or vorinostat-treated mice to determine if alterations in gene expression were observable that were consistent with the phenotypes observed. Brain metastases from five vehicle-treated mice and six 150 mg/kg vorinostat-treated mice were procured by laser capture microdissection. RNA was extracted from the captured tumor cells from each brain and two rounds of linear amplification was done. The amplified RNA from each mouse was processed separately through microarray hybridization and analysis.
