    Abstract: A better understanding of how epidermal growth factor receptor family members (ErbBs) contribute to metastasis is important for evaluating ErbB-directed therapies. Activation of ErbB3/ErbB2 heterodimers can affect both proliferation and motility. We find that increasing ErbB3-dependent signaling in orthotopic injection models of breast cancer can enhance intravasation and lung metastasis with no effect on primary tumor growth or microvessel density. Enhanced metastatic ability due to increased expression of ErbB2 or ErbB3 correlated with stronger chemotaxis and invasion responses to heregulin β1. Suppression of ErbB3 expression reduced both intravasation and metastasis. A human breast cancer tumor tissue microarray showed a significant association between ErbB3 and ErbB2 expression and metastasis independent of tumor size. These results indicate that ErbB3-dependent signaling through ErbB3/ErbB2 heterodimers can contribute to metastasis through enhancing tumor cell invasion and intravasation in vivo and that ErbB-directed therapies may be useful for the inhibition of invasion independent of effects on tumor growth.

    Abstract: Introduction: Solid tumors consist of both malignant cells and non-malignant stromal cells. Stromal cells typically include vascular, mesenchymal, and pro-inflammatory cells. Macrophages are the most abundant pro-inflammatory cell type in solid tumors and are termed TAMs. TAMs are derived from monocytes (mononuclear phagocyte system, MPS) and are associated with tumor progression, angiogenesis, and metastasis. The MPS are responsible for the clearance and distribution of nanoparticle (NP) anticaner agents such as PLD. However, the role of MPS in the tumor delivery of NP have not been evaluated. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between TAM-related tumor microenvironment factors, tumor delivery, and efficacy of PLD and NL-doxo in GEMMs of BC. Methods: Basal-like (C3(1)T-antigen) and claudin-low (T11/TP53-/-) GEMMs of human BC subtypes were evaluated. PLD or NL-doxo was administered at 6 mg/kg IV x 1 via a tail vein. For each GEMM, mice (n=3) were sacrificed prior to dose, and from 5 min to 96 h post dose. Plasma encapsulated and released doxo and sum total doxo conc in tumor was measured by HPLC. Area under the plasma and tumor conc versus time curves (AUC) were calculated. TAM infiltration was visualized and measured via immunohistochemistry (IHC) for F4/80. Endothelial cells in tumors were detected by CD31 IHC. Density of TAMs and endothelial cells in tumors were measured by the Aperio analysis algorithms. In efficacy study, PLD or NL-doxo at 6 mg/kg was administered every week for 6 weeks (n=20 per model). Tumor growth and overall survival were monitored. Results: Mean ± SD of plasma AUC of PLD encapsulated doxo in T11 and C3tag were1,449 ± 57 and 1,610 ± 111 (μg·h/ml), respectively. Mean ± SD of tumor sum total AUC of PLD in T11 and C3tag were 210 ± 26 and 480 ± 71 (μg·h/ml), respectively. Mean ± SD of tumor AUC of NL-doxo in T11 and C3tag were 61 ± 12 and 57 ± 10 (μg·h/ml), respectively. Mean ± SD baseline % positive cells of TAM in T11 and C3tag were 113 ± 45 and 110 ± 50, respectively. Mean ± SD baseline microvessel density in T11 and C3tag were 8.8 ± 2.5 and 6.1 ± 1.8 (number of vessels x10ˆ5 per unit area), respectively. C3tag demonstrated greater antitumor response to PLD compared to T11. Conclusions: There was a substantial difference in tumor exposure of PLD, but not NL-doxo, in the two GEMMs. These findings suggest that TM factors in BC may affect the delivery of NP agents, but not small molecules (SM). However, the similar TAM and microvessel baseline density in GEMMs suggest alternative tumor factors specifically affecting the delivery of NP agents. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the delivery of NP agents in these and other tumors which may explain different tumor phenotypes and therapeutic outcomes related to treatment with NP and SM agents.

    Abstract: Development of early detection technologies and new therapeutic reagents has significantly improved the quality of treatments in breast cancer patients. However, clinical regression of primary breast tumor by the combination of surgery, hormonal, chemo and radiation therapy does not always extend patients survival. A substantial number of patients develop local and/or distant relapse overtime. The conventional explanation of these observations is that cancer cells acquire resistance during the treatment so their sensitivity to the therapy is reduced. Our previous studies have shown that breast cancer cells in process of invasion deactivate their apoptosis and cell cycle signaling pathways, suggesting they might be intrinsically resistant to radiation and cytotoxic reagents. In this study, we have successfully isolated the cancer cells from four different steps of the metastatic process: the average primary tumor cells, invasive tumor cells (isolated by our in vivo invasion assay), circulating tumor cells collected from blood and metastatic cells separated from lung metastasis. These cells were treated with Tamoxifen, Tamoxifen /Doxorubucin combination and ionizing radiation. Then the percentage of dead and apoptotic cells was quantified to evaluate the response to these different treatments. Interestingly, although these breast cancer cells were isolated from MMTV-PyMT mice that have had no contact with any drug or radiation, the invasive tumor cells and circulating tumor cells were resistant to all three types of treatments, while the primary tumor cells and lung metastatic tumor cells are equally sensitive. To investigate the mechanism behind this observation, we measured the expression of genes in DNA repair pathways and discovered that genes involved in repairing both single and double strand DNA break were transiently upregulated in invasive tumor cells and circulating tumor cells. The DNA repair genes were shown to predict the metastasis development in breast cancer patients when compared to a public microarray data base containing both gene expression and patient metastasis free survival data. We speculate that an elevated DNA repair activity and shutdown of cell cycle and apoptosis together contribute to drug and radiation resistance in the invasive tumor cells. To address this speculation, we chose a small molecule inhibitor of protein phosphatase IIA named LB1.2, which targets the DNA damage/repair pathways and accelerates the cell cycle, and combined it with conventional drug and radiation treatments. LB1.2 completely reversed the resistance of invasive and circulating tumor cells to both drug and radiation treatment mentioned above. In conclusion, we discovered that breast tumor cells in the act of invasion and in circulation are resistant to radiation and drug treatment because of a blocked cell cycle progression.

    Abstract: Background: Within the normal BMI (body mass index (BMI) of 18.5-24.9kg/m2) category, some individuals may be at increased risk of developing obesity-related cancers. Towards this end, studies have shown positive associations between body fat, particularly in the abdominal region, and cancer-associated metabolic disturbances among normal weight individuals. However, little is known about the association between body fat distribution and risk of obesity-related cancers among normal weight individuals. Thus, in this study, we examined the association of overall and central adiposity, assessed using bioelectrical impedance (BIA)-derived and anthropometric measures, with risk of selected obesity-related cancers among normal weight persons. Methods: The study included normal weight individuals aged 40-70 years who were enrolled in the UK Biobank cohort between 2006 and 2010. BIA-derived and anthropometric body fat measures were taken at baseline by trained staff. Incident tumors were ascertained via linkage to UK cancer registries. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the associations of the body fat measures with risk of cancers of the breast, endometrium, ovary, colorectum, pancreas, and kidney, and with multiple myeloma. Results: The overall incidence of obesity-related cancers was 2.2 per 1000 person-years of follow-up (N= 2364 incident obesity-related cases among 152,489 subjects with a median follow-up time of 7 years). All measures of central and peripheral adiposity demonstrated linear positive dose-response relationships with risk of postmenopausal invasive breast cancer and with endometrial cancer. For all of the body fat measures, postmenopausal women in the highest quartile showed increased invasive breast cancer risk, after adjusting for potential confounders, compared to women in the lowest quartile, with hazard ratios ranging from 1.29 (95% CI: 1.11-1.50) for the ratio of trunk fat to leg fat mass to 1.59 (95% CI: 1.31-1.93) for trunk fat mass index (TFMI; calculated as trunk fat mass (kg)/height (m)2). For endometrial cancer, only the TFMI (HR: 1.80, 95% CI:1.12-2.88) and waist circumference (HR: 1.70, 95% CI: 1.04-2.80) were positively associated with risk. A waist-to-hip ratio in the highest quartile was also positively associated with colorectal cancer risk among males (HR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.03-2.37). None of the body fat measures were associated with risk colorectal cancer risk among women or with risk of the remaining cancers. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that elevated levels of central and/or overall adiposity may be associated with increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer, endometrial cancer and probably colorectal cancer (males), among normal weight individuals. Evaluating body composition in those with a normal BMI can potentially identify individuals at increased risk for cancer providing an opportunity for interventions to reduce risk.

    Abstract: RICTOR (Rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR protein) is a key component of mTORC2 (the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2). One of the most-recognized targets for RICTOR-mTORC2 is AKT (Ser473). RICTOR also carries functions independent of mTORC2. RICTOR signaling has been suggested to play key roles in regulating cancer cell migration, invasion and metastasis in breast, ovarian, colorectal cancers and gliomas. The potential roles of RICTOR in lung cancer remain to be elucidated. We first examined the expression profile of RICTOR in primary lung tumor specimens and in lung cancer cell lines by immunohistochemistry. Among 125 FFPE patients' specimen, ninety nine were stained positive for RICTOR (intensity 1+ to 3+). More interestingly, the RICTOR IHC expression is stronger in squamous cell lung cancer in comparison to adenocarcinoma. Furthermore, twenty four out of 36 lung cancer cell lines showed positive RICTOR IHC staining. Thus, RICTOR is expressed in most lung tumors. To investigate the role of RICTOR in lung cancer cell growth, we found that RICTOR knockdown by siRNA reduced colony formation in A549, HCC827 and Calu3 cells, regardless of KRAS or EGFR mutational status (A549 is KRAS mutated whereas HCC827 is EGFR mutated). Western blot confirmed RICTOR knockdown and also decreased level of its downstream pAKT S473. We further blocked RICTOR signaling by utilizing inducible shRNAs of RICTOR. Similar inhibition of lung cancer cell growth was observed. Moreover, to test the in vivo role of RICTOR, we preformed xenograft mouse experiments. When RICTOR was inducibly knockdown by the presence of doxycycline, the growth of A549 lung tumor xenografts was markedly reduced by 60% (P & lt;0.05). Taken together, our study provides the rational basis for a potential RICTOR-targeted therapy in lung cancer.

    Abstract: Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy improves outcomes of pts with early breast cancer, but CINV have been regarded as two of the most disturbing side effects, affecting their quality of life (QoL). In this study, the primary objective was to compare the efficacy of olanzapine in addition to the standard aprepitant-based antiemetic regimen for CINV in pts receiving the 1st cycle of adjuvant AC chemotherapy (adriamycin 60mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 600mg/m2). The secondary objective was to compare the tolerability and efficacy of such regimen in the 4 cycles of AC. Methods: This is a prospective single center, randomized study. Eligible pts had early stage breast cancer of Chinese ethnicity; they were chemotherapy- naive and treated with adjuvant AC chemotherapy. Antiemetic regimen for all studied population included aprepitant, ondansetron and dexamethasone; patients were randomly allocated to Olanzapine (with olanzapine) or Standard (without olanzapine) arms. Individual patient filled in self-reported diary and visual analogue scale for nausea from which information on nausea, vomiting and use of rescue medication were collected; outcomes were compared during acute phase (0-24 hrs), delay (24-120 hrs) and overall time-frame (0-120 hrs) from initiation of AC. QoL was assessed by Functional Living Index-Emesis (FLIE). Results: 120 pts were randomized. For CINV in Cycle 1 AC, outcomes of Olanzapine vs Standard arms were: complete response (acute phase 70.0 vs 51.7%, p=0.0397; delay phase 75.0 vs 45.0%, p=0.0008; overall time-frame 65.0 vs 38.3%, p=0.0035), complete protection (acute phase 70.0 vs 50.0%, p=0.0253; delay phase 71.7 vs 40.0%, p=0.0005; overall 61.7 vs 36.7%, p=0.0062), total control (acute phase 65.0 vs 41.7%, p=0.0104; delay phase 60.0 vs 31.7%, p=0.0018; overall 51.7 vs 26.7%, p=0.0050), ‘no vomiting’ (acute phase 73.3 vs 51.7%, p=0.0142; delay phase 76.7 vs 48.3%, p=0.0013; overall 68.3 vs 40.0%, p=0.0018), ‘no significant nausea’ (acute phase 95.0 vs 75.0%, p=0.0017; delay phase 91.7 vs 65.0%, p=0.0004; overall 91.7 vs 63.3%, p=0.0002),‘no nausea’ (acute phase 76.7 vs 53.3%, p=0.0074; delay phase 65.0 vs 35.0%, p=0.0010; overall 58.3 vs 33.3%, p=0.0060), and need of rescue medication (acute phase 3.3 vs 11.7%, p=0.0654; delay phase 6.7 vs 21.7%, p=0.0133; overall 8.3 vs 23.3%, p=0.0244). Assessment of FLIE on Day 6 after Cycle 1 AC between the Olanzapine vs Standard arms revealed better QOL mean scores for nausea domain (p & lt;0.0001), vomiting domain (p=0.0682) and total scores (p & lt;0.0001). During assessment of multiple cycles, Olanzapine arm was associated with significantly higher rates of complete response in cycle 3 (delay phase and overall time-frame) and cycle 4 (delay phase) as well as total control in cycle 4 (delay phase). Both treatments were generally well tolerated; apart from nausea and vomiting, there was no significant difference in adverse events between the two arms. Conclusions: In this prospective study of Chinese women with breast cancer, the addition of olanzapine to standard antiemetic regimen increases the control of CINV and improves the QoL of pts during AC chemotherapy.
