(Submitter supplied) Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease for which prognosis and treatment strategies are largely governed by the receptor status (estrogen, progesterone and Her2-neu) of the tumor cells. Gene expression profiling of whole breast tumors further stratifies breast cancer into several molecular subtypes which also co-segregate with the receptor status of the tumor cells. We postulated that cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) within the tumor stroma may exhibit subtype specific gene expression profiles and thus contribute to the biology of the disease in a subtype specific manner. more...

(Submitter supplied) We treated nine lines of breast cancer cells with conditioned medium derived from NAF and CAF to study the paracrine interaction beetween stroma and tumor. Gene expression profiles for breast cancer cell lines are reported after 72h of treatment with conditioned medium derived from NAF and CAF or with control media.

(Submitter supplied) Tumor growth and metastasis is controlled by paracrine signaling between cells of the tumor microenvironment and malignant cells. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), are functionally important components of the tumor microenvironment. Although some steps involved in the cross-talk between these cells are known, there is still a lot that is not clear. Thus, the addition of, the consideration of microenvironment in the development of the disease, to the clinical and pathological procedures (currently admitted as the consistent value cancer treatments) could lay the foundations for the development of new treatment strategies to control the disease.

(Submitter supplied) Advanced breast cancers represent a major therapeutic challenge due to their refractoriness to treatment. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the most abundant constituents of the tumor microenvironment and have been linked to most hallmarks of cancer. However, the influence of CAFs on therapeutic outcome remains largely unchartered. Here, we reveal that spatial coincidence of abundant CAF infiltration with malignant cells was associated with reduced estrogen receptor (ER)-α expression in luminal breast tumors. more...

(Submitter supplied) Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) existing in tumor stroma play a crucial role in tumor progression. Here, we show that stromal fibroblasts near cancer cells are likely to display up-regulated RHBDF2 expression caused by chronic stimulation from pro-inflammatory cytokines. RHBDF2 promotes both the cleavage of type I transforming growth factor (TGF)-b receptor, through tumor necrosis factor α converting enzyme activation, and the motility of CAFs upon stimulation with TGF-b1. more...

(Submitter supplied) Introduction: A gene expression signature indicative of active wound responses is common to more than 90% of non-neoplastic tissues adjacent to breast cancer, but these tissues also show substantial heterogeneity, suggesting different microenvironmental subtypes. Genomic variation in the extratumoral microenvironment has received limited study. Methods: Gene expression analysis from 72 patient-derived samples adjacent to invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ was evaluated. more...

(Submitter supplied) Most solid tumors seem to be organized in a hierarchy in which only a fraction of cells, termed tumor-initiating cells (TICs), is capable of disseminating new tumors after transplantation into recipient mice. However, whether a single TIC can induce a tumor or whether it requires additional TICs or non-TICs for tumor initiation is not known. Here we show that injections of single CD24+:Jag1- cells from Her2/Neu+ mammary tumors into recipient mammary glands induced tumors at a frequency of 1/22. more...

(Submitter supplied) The cancer stem cell model maintains that tumors are organized in a hierarchy driven by tumor initiating cells (TICs), and that patient survival inversely correlates with TIC gene expression. Here we generated a prognostic signature for HER2+ breast cancer from TICs purified from MMTV-Her2/Neu mammary tumors. TICs from this model, identified as Lin-:CD24+:JAG1- at a frequency of 2-5% by serial and single cell transplantation assays, showed elevated expression of proliferation genes and low expression of differentiation genes (compared to non-TIC fraction CD24- of the same tumor). more...

(Submitter supplied) Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease encompassing a number of phenotypically diverse tumours. Expression levels of the estrogen, progesterone and HER2/neu receptors which characterise clinically distinct breast tumors have been shown to change during disease progression and in response to systemic therapies. Mi(cro)RNAs play critical roles in diverse biological processes and are aberrantly expressed in several human neoplasms including breast cancer, where they function as regulators of tumour behaviour and progression. more...

(Submitter supplied) Purpose HER2 gene amplification or protein overexpression (HER2+) defines a clinically challenging subgroup of breast cancer with variable prognosis and response to therapy. We aimed to investigate the heterogeneous biological appearance and clinical behavior of HER2+ tumors using molecular profiling. Materials and Methods Hierarchical clustering of gene expression data from 58 HER2-amplified tumors of various stage, histological grade and estrogen receptor (ER) status was used to construct a HER2-derived prognostic predictor that was further evaluated in several large independent breast cancer data sets. more...

(Submitter supplied) ABSTRACT Background: Human breast cancer most frequently originates within a well-defined anatomical structure referred to as the terminal duct lobular unit (TDLU). This structure is endowed with its very own lobular fibroblasts representing one out of two steady-state fibroblast subtypes – the other being interlobular fibroblasts. While cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are increasingly appreciated as covering a spectrum of perturbed states, we lack a coherent understanding of their relationship – if any - with the steady-state fibroblast subtypes. more...

(Submitter supplied) Background: Breast cancer arises within specific regions in the human breast referred to as the terminal duct lobular units (TDLUs). These are relatively dynamic structures characterized by sex hormone driven cyclic epithelial turnover. TDLUs consist of unique parenchymal entities embedded within a fibroblast-rich lobular stroma. Here, we established and characterized a new human breast lobular fibroblast cell line against its interlobular counterpart with a view to assessing the role of region-specific stromal cues in the control of TDLU dynamics. more...

BC is an heterogeneous disease, at both clinical and molecular levels, presenting distinct subtypes associated with different clinical outcomes. This variability response may be caused by some factors linked to radiation or dependent to BC specific features such as tumor stage and hormone receptor (HR) status. more...

(Submitter supplied) To gain insight into the gene expression profile of breast patient derived organoids (PDOs) under endocrine therapy, and how cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) might influence gene expression and stimulate resistance, we performed RNA sequencing on three of the metastatic PDOs treated with control media and CAF-conditioned media, in the presence and absence of Fulvestrant (4-day treatment). These data revealed that Fulvestrant significantly suppressed the ER signature in the PDOs, suggesting that the ER-pathway is still active in these tumors although the patients had relapsed on ER-targeting agents (Tamoxifen, Letrozole).

(Submitter supplied) Current clinical guidelines suggest that breast cancers with low hormone receptor expression (LowHR) in 1% to 10% of tumor cells should be regarded as hormone receptor positive tumors. However, clinical data shows that patients with such tumors have a worse outcome compared to patients with hormone receptor expression above 10 %. Further, gene expression studies suggest that these tumors have a TNBC-like signature similar to triple negative breast cancers (TNBC). more...
