RESUMO

BACKGROUND: CCR5 is a motility chemokine receptor implicated in tumor progression, whose activation and subsequent endocytosis may identify highly aggressive breast cancer cell subtypes likely to spread into the circulatory system. METHODS: The MDA-MB-231 cell line was used to model and visualize CCR5 activation by stimulation with RANTES, in an effort to quantify CCR5 endocytosis from the cell surface to the perinuclear space. CCR5 expression was then examined in tumor-associated cells (TACs), consisting of circulating tumor cells and circulating stromal cells, isolated from the peripheral blood of 54 metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients to evaluate these CCR5 pooling patterns as they relate to progression and survival over 2 years. RESULTS: In MB231 experiments, it was observed that CCR5 formed ~ 1 micron clusters identified as "CCR5 pools" on the surface of the cell, which in the presence of RANTES were endocytosed and translocated to the cell cytoplasm. When TACs from patients were analyzed, CCR5 pools were observed on the cell surface and translocating to the nuclear area, with CCR5 also having a positive statistical correlation between increased numbers of TACs and increased CCR5 pools on the cells. Further, it was determined that patients with very high numbers of CCR5 (> 10 CCR5 pools), specifically in the circulating stromal cells, were associated with worse progression-free survival (hazard ratio = 4.5, p = 0.002) and worse overall survival (hazard ratio = 3.7, p = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS: Using a liquid biopsy approach, we evaluated two populations of tumor-associated cells emanating from primary tumors, with data suggesting that upregulation of the motility chemokine CCR5 in TACs provides clinically relevant opportunities for treating and tracking drug targetable receptors in mBC.

RESUMO

The usage of beta blockers in breast cancer (BC) patients is implicated in the reduction in distant metastases, cancer recurrence, and cancer mortality. Studies suggest that the adrenergic pathway is directly involved in sympathetic-driven hematopoietic activation of pro-tumor microenvironmental proliferation and tumor cell trafficking into the circulation. Cancer-associated macrophage-like cells (CAMLs) are pro-tumor polynucleated monocytic cells of hematopoietic origin emanating from tumors which may aid in circulating tumor cell (CTC) dissemination into the circulation. We examined the linkage between Beta-2 adrenergic receptor (B2AR) signaling in CAMLs and CTCs by establishing expression profiles in a model BC cell line (MDA-MB-231). We compared the model to CAMLs and CTCs found in patents. Although internalization events were observed in patients, differences were found in the expression of B2AR between the tumor cell lines and the CAMLs found in patients. High B2AR expression on patients' CAMLs was correlated with significantly more CAMLs in the circulation (p = 0.0093), but CTCs had no numerical relationship (p = 0.1565). High B2AR CAML expression was also significantly associated with a larger size of CAMLs (p = 0.0073), as well as being significantly associated with shorter progression-free survival (p = 0.0097) and overall survival (p = 0.0265). These data suggest that B2AR expression on CAMLs is closely related to the activation, intravasation, and growth of CAMLs in the circulation.

RESUMO

Pathogenic germline TP53 alterations cause Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS), and breast cancer is the most common cancer in LFS females. We performed first of its kind multimodal analysis of LFS breast cancer (LFS-BC) compared to sporadic premenopausal BC. Nearly all LFS-BC underwent biallelic loss of TP53 with no recurrent oncogenic variants except ERBB2 (HER2) amplification. Compared to sporadic BC, in situ and invasive LFS-BC exhibited a high burden of short amplified aneuploid segments (SAAS). Pro-apoptotic p53 target genes BAX and TP53I3 failed to be up-regulated in LFS-BC as was seen in sporadic BC compared to normal breast tissue. LFS-BC had lower CD8+ T-cell infiltration compared to sporadic BC yet higher levels of proliferating cytotoxic T-cells. Within LFS-BC, progression from in situ to invasive BC was marked by an increase in chromosomal instability with a decrease in proliferating cytotoxic T-cells. Our study uncovers critical events in mutant p53-driven tumorigenesis in breast tissue.
