(Submitter supplied) The newly identified claudin-low subtype of cancer is believed to represent the most primitive breast malignancies, having arisen from transformation of an early epithelial precursor with inherent stemness properties and metaplastic features. Challenging this hypothesis, we show both in vitro and in vivo that transcription factors inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition can drive the development of claudin-low tumors from differentiated mammary epithelial cells, by playing a dual role in cell transformation and dedifferentiation.

(Submitter supplied) Loss of the epithelial adhesion molecule E-cadherin is thought to enable metastasis by disrupting intercellular contacts - an early step in metastatic dissemination. To further investigate the molecular basis of this notion, we use two methods to inhibit E-cadherin function that distinguish between E-cadherin's cell-cell adhesion and intracellular signaling functions. While the disruption of cell-cell contacts alone does not enable metastasis, the loss of E-cadherin protein does, through induction of an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, invasiveness and anoikis-resistance. more...

(Submitter supplied) Claudin-low breast cancer represents an aggressive molecular subtype that is comprised of mostly triple-negative mammary tumor cells that possess stem cell-like and mesenchymal features. Little is known about the cellular origin and oncogenic drivers that promote claudin-low breast cancer. In this study, we show that persistent oncogenic RAS signaling causes highly metastatic triple-negative mammary tumors in mice. more...

(Submitter supplied) To identify miRNAs participating in SNAI1-orchestrated regulatory pathways, we analysed time-resolved microarray data of SNAI1-induced EMT, obtained during conditional expression of SNAI1 in a “Tet-Off” MCF7-SNAI1 breast carcinoma cell model (Vetter et al, 2009).

(Submitter supplied) The SNAI1 and SNAI2 embryonic genes are reactivated in numerous cancer types, including carcinomas. They promote cancer cell dissemination by inducing an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and by protecting cells from anoikis. We now have demonstrated that the sequentially related SNAI3 gene is aberrantly reactivated in human breast carcinomas. To compare the functional properties of the three SNAIL family members, the transcription factors were ectopically expressed in immortalized mammary epithelial cells.

(Submitter supplied) We have demonstrated that the oncogenic activation of B-RAF (using a truncated delta-BRAF-ER version inducible with tamoxifen) in the melan-a melanocyte cell line triggers the activation of Zeb1 and Twist1 at the expanse of Zeb2 and Snail2. Enforced maintenance of Zeb2 or Snail2 expression reduces the B-RAF oncogenic potential while ectopic expression of Zeb1 or Twist1 cooperates with B-RAF in melan-a cell transformation. more...

(Submitter supplied) Introduction: Tumor initiating cells (TICs) are being extensively studied for their role in tumor etiology, maintenance and resistance to treatment. The isolation of TICs has been limited by the scarcity of this population in the tissue of origin and because the molecular signatures that characterize these cells are not well understood. Herein, we describe the generation of TIC-like cell lines by ectopic expression of the OCT4 transcription factor (TF) in primary breast cell preparations. more...

(Submitter supplied) Malignant progression in cancer has been associated with the emergence of populations of tumor-initiating cells (TIC) endowed with capabilities for unlimited self-renewal, survival under stress and establishment of distant metastases. Additionally, the acquisition of invasive properties driven by the genetic program known as epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT) may be an essential step in the evolution of neoplastic cells into fully metastatic populations. more...

(Submitter supplied) WAP-Cre:Ptenf/f:p53lox.stop.lox_R270H composite mice were generated by genetic crossing. In these mice, Pten is deleted and a R270H p53 mutation in the DNA binding domain is induced upon expression of Cre recombinase in pregnancy-identified alveolar progenitors. Tumors were characterized by histology, marker analysis, various bioinformatics methods, high-throughput (HTP) FDA-drug screen as well as orthotopic injection to quantify tumor initiating cells (TICs) and tail-vein injection to identify lung-metastasis. more...

(Submitter supplied) Elf5 (or ESE-2) is an ETS transcription factor that is abundantly expressed in the mammary epithelium, where it plays a critical role in dictating cell fate and lineage choices. These changes are in part mediated by alterations in the expression and activity of critical components of the Jak/Stat pathway. While the biological function of Elf5 in mammary gland development has been well characterized, its role in breast cancer remains to be elucidated. more...

Loss of Elf5 results in block in alveologenesis and epithelial differentiation defects. Mammary gland samples from Elf5 knockout and wild type animals were analyzed for global transcriptome changes.

(Submitter supplied) Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a dynamic process that relies on cellular plasticity; an EMT/MET axis is critical for metastatic colonization of carcinomas. Unlike epithelial programming, regulation of mesenchymal programming is not well understood in EMT. Here we describe the first microRNA that enhances exclusively mesenchymal programming. We demonstrate that microRNA-424 is up-regulated early during a TWIST1/SNAI1-induced EMT, and that it causes cells to express mesenchymal genes without affecting epithelial genes, resulting in a mixed/intermediate EMT. more...
