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:<p>BRCA1 mutations are a hallmark of hereditary ovarian cancer, strongly linked to deficiencies in homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair and impaired DNA replication fork protection. However, its roles in cancer progression beyond maintaining genomic integrity remain poorly understood. Through metabolomics approaches, we found BRCA1-deficiency strikingly increased choline metabolism. Loss of BRCA1 promotes choline uptake through upregulating choline transporter-like protein 4 (CTL4). BRCA1 directly binds and recruits EZH2-mediated H3K27Me3 deposition to CTL4 promoter. CTL4 was therefore overexpressed in ovarian cancer tissues with BRCA1 mutations. Furthermore, BRCA1-deficiency significantly promotes ovarian cancer invasion, while inhibition of CTL4 reverses the high metastatic potential of BRCA1-deficient ovarian cancer cells, suggesting the functionality and specificity of CTL4 as a therapeutic target. Additionally, we discovered that phosphocholine, the choline metabolite increased by CTL4 overexpression, interacted with and stabilized the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition inducer FAM3C in BRCA1-deficient ovarian cancer cells. Importantly, we identified a potent CTL4 inhibitor, DT-13, which significantly reduces choline metabolism and effectively suppresses metastasis in BRCA1-deficient ovarian cancers. Therefore, our study uncovers a mechanism underlying metastasis in BRCA1-deficient cancers and identifies CTL4 as a therapeutic target for metastatic ovarian cancer patients with BRCA1 mutations.</p>
