    Abstract: While massively parallel sequencing technology has greatly expanded the number of molecular genetic tests available in oncology, little is known about the spectrum and clinical utility of findings obtained from testing tumors and circulating tumor material in specific patient populations. Here we report findings from the METAMORPH study, in which stage IV breast cancer patients had metastatic tumor biopsies (metDNA) and concurrently collected cell-free circulating tumor DNA (cfDNA). Illumina TruSeq Cancer Panel (for metDNA) and Guardant360 (for cfDNA) were performed. 28 patients had both tests; results are shown in the Table. 68% of patients had at least one alteration in metDNA and 86% in cfDNA. PIK3CA mutations were most common, occurring in 43% and 36% of patients’ metDNA and cfDNA, respectively. Overall, 16 of 28 (57%) of patients had the same alterations identified in both metDNA and cfDNA. Excluding ERBB2 amplifications in HER2+ patients, 43% of patients’ metDNA and 57% of patients’ cfDNA contained pathogenic mutations or variants of uncertain significance (VUS) for which there are approved targeted therapies or clinical trials. Overall, 80 alterations were identified, 23 of which were detected by both assays. Multiple reasons for discordance in calls between metDNA and cfDNA assays were identified. While biological phenomena (e.g. tumor heterogeneity) may contribute to discordance, technical issues played an important role. Additional studies using whole exome sequencing and other platforms to further assess biological evolution of metastatic disease and clinical utility of molecular profiling of metastatic tumors and cell-free DNA are needed.

    Abstract: Epidemiological studies have repeatedly demonstrated that women who undergo an early first full-term pregnancy have a significantly reduced lifetime risk of breast cancer. Similarly, rodents that have previously undergone a full-term pregnancy are highly resistant to carcinogen-induced breast cancer compared with age-matched nulliparous controls. Little progress has been made, however, toward understanding the biological basis of this phenomenon. We have used DNA microarrays to identify a panel of 38 differentially expressed genes that reproducibly distinguishes, in a blinded manner, between the nulliparous and parous states of the mammary gland in multiple strains of mice and rats. We find that parity results in the persistent down-regulation of multiple genes encoding growth factors, such as amphiregulin, pleiotrophin, and IGF-1, as well as the persistent up-regulation of the growth-inhibitory molecule, TGF-β3, and several of its transcriptional targets. Our studies further indicate that parity results in a persistent increase in the differentiated state of the mammary gland as well as lifelong changes in the hematopoietic cell types resident within the gland. These findings define a developmental state of the mammary gland that is refractory to carcinogenesis and suggest novel hypotheses for the mechanisms by which parity may modulate breast cancer risk.

    Abstract: Despite promising advances in breast cancer immunotherapy, augmenting T-cell infiltration has remained a significant challenge. Although neither individual vaccines nor immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) have had broad success as monotherapies, we hypothesized that targeted vaccination against an oncogenic driver in combination with ICB could direct and enable antitumor immunity in advanced cancers. Experimental Design: Our models of HER2+ breast cancer exhibit molecular signatures that are reflective of advanced human HER2+ breast cancer, with a small numbers of neoepitopes and elevated immunosuppressive markers. Using these, we vaccinated against the oncogenic HER2Δ16 isoform, a nondriver tumor-associated gene (GFP), and specific neoepitopes. We further tested the effect of vaccination or anti–PD-1, alone and in combination. Results: We found that only vaccination targeting HER2Δ16, a driver of oncogenicity and HER2-therapeutic resistance, could elicit significant antitumor responses, while vaccines targeting a nondriver tumor-specific antigen or tumor neoepitopes did not. Vaccine-induced HER2-specific CD8+ T cells were essential for responses, which were more effective early in tumor development. Long-term tumor control of advanced cancers occurred only when HER2Δ16 vaccination was combined with αPD-1. Single-cell RNA sequencing of tumor-infiltrating T cells revealed that while vaccination expanded CD8 T cells, only the combination of vaccine with αPD-1 induced functional gene expression signatures in those CD8 T cells. Furthermore, we show that expanded clones are HER2-reactive, conclusively demonstrating the efficacy of this vaccination strategy in targeting HER2. Conclusions: Combining oncogenic driver targeted vaccines with selective ICB offers a rational paradigm for precision immunotherapy, which we are clinically evaluating in a phase II trial (NCT03632941).

    Abstract: Deregulation of cellular epigenetics is essential for malignant transformation. However, the mechanisms that cause epigenetic alterations in cancer cells are incompletely understood. Recent evidence has shown that cellular metabolism has a direct impact on the epigenome, since many chromatin-modifying enzymes rely on intracellular metabolites as cofactors or donor substrates. We have previously shown that the metabolic enzyme ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY), which generates nuclear-cytoplasmic acetyl-CoA from glucose, is required for maintaining histone acetylation levels in multiple mammalian cell types, suggesting that alterations in acetyl-CoA metabolism in cancer cells might also impact histone acetylation levels. Cellular metabolism is massively rewired in multiple cancer types, including pancreatic cancer, although the impact of metabolic alterations on the tumor epigenome is poorly understood. We postulated that tumor cell histone acetylation levels are determined in part by changes in acetyl-CoA availability mediated by oncogenic metabolic reprogramming. In this study, we demonstrate that acetyl-CoA abundance in cancer cells is dynamically regulated by glucose availability and that histone acetylation levels are responsive to the ratio of acetyl-CoA:coenzyme A within the nucleus. To test whether oncogene activation could mediate changes in histone acetylation in vivo, we performed immunohistochemical analysis comparing pancreata from mice expressing KrasG12D with those from mice with WT Kras. Whereas the acinar cells of WT mice exhibited very low levels of histone H4 (K5/8/12/16) acetylation, in KPC (LSL-KrasG12D; p53L/+; Pdx1-Cre) mice, acinar H4 acetylation was markedly increased, prior to the appearance of histological abnormalities or aberrant cell proliferation. High H4 acetylation persisted in pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) and PDA. Histone acetylation in PanIN-derived primary cells was selectively impaired by PI3K and Akt inhibitors, correlating with suppression of glucose consumption and cellular acetyl-CoA levels. Moreover, addition of supraphysiological doses of acetate, a source of acetyl-CoA alternative to glucose, restored histone acetylation levels. These data suggest that oncogenic Kras promotes elevated histone acetylation preceding tumor development through Akt-dependent regulation of cellular acetyl-CoA levels. Further mechanistic analysis suggests that Akt promotes elevated histone acetylation through combined effects on promoting glucose uptake and phosphorylation and activation of ATP-citrate lyase, a metabolic enzyme that produces nuclear-cytoplasmic acetyl-CoA. The aberrant activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway occurs in broad variety of human malignancies. pAkt(Ser473) levels correlate significantly with histone acetylation marks in human gliomas and prostate tumors, suggesting that PI3K-Akt-dependent promotion of acetyl-CoA metabolism may contribute to histone acetylation levels in multiple cancer types. Our data implicate acetyl-CoA metabolism as a key determinant of histone acetylation levels in tumors and offer novel insights on Kras-induced pancreatic carcinogenesis.

    Abstract: A conditional tetracycline-responsive transgenic mouse model with deregulated estrogen receptor α expression in mammary epithelial cells developed ductal hyperplasia (DH), lobular hyperplasia, and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) by 4 months of age. Higher proliferative rates were found in both normal and abnormal ductal and lobular structures. DH and DCIS but not normal ductal structures showed an increased percentage of cells with nuclear-localized cyclin D1. No differences in either the prevalence or extent of these phenotypes following exogenous 17β-estradiol treatment were found suggesting that alteration of ERα expression was the rate-limiting factor in initiation of DH, lobular hyperplasia, and DCIS.

    Abstract: Breast cancer mortality is principally due to tumor recurrence, which can occur following extended periods of clinical remission that may last decades. While clinical latency has been postulated to reflect the ability of residual tumor cells to persist in a dormant state, this hypothesis remains unproven since little is known about the biology of these cells. Consequently, defining the properties of residual tumor cells is an essential goal with important clinical implications for preventing recurrence and improving cancer outcomes. Methods To identify conserved features of residual tumor cells, we modeled minimal residual disease using inducible transgenic mouse models for HER2/neu and Wnt1-driven tumorigenesis that recapitulate cardinal features of human breast cancer progression, as well as human breast cancer cell xenografts subjected to targeted therapy. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting was used to isolate tumor cells from primary tumors, residual lesions following oncogene blockade, and recurrent tumors to analyze gene expression signatures and evaluate tumor-initiating cell properties. Results We demonstrate that residual tumor cells surviving oncogenic pathway inhibition at both local and distant sites exist in a state of cellular dormancy, despite adequate vascularization and the absence of adaptive immunity, and retain the ability to re-enter the cell cycle and give rise to recurrent tumors after extended latency periods. Compared to primary or recurrent tumor cells, dormant residual tumor cells possess unique features that are conserved across mouse models for human breast cancer driven by different oncogenes, and express a gene signature that is strongly associated with recurrence-free survival in breast cancer patients and similar to that of tumor cells in which dormancy is induced by the microenvironment. Although residual tumor cells in both the HER2/neu and Wnt1 models are enriched for phenotypic features associated with tumor-initiating cells, limiting dilution experiments revealed that residual tumor cells are not enriched for cells capable of giving rise to primary tumors, but are enriched for cells capable of giving rise to recurrent tumors, suggesting that tumor-initiating populations underlying primary tumorigenesis may be distinct from those that give rise to recurrence following therapy. Conclusions Residual cancer cells surviving targeted therapy reside in a well-vascularized, desmoplastic microenvironment at both local and distant sites. These cells exist in a state of cellular dormancy that bears little resemblance to primary or recurrent tumor cells, but shares similarities with cells in which dormancy is induced by microenvironmental cues. Our observations suggest that dormancy may be a conserved response to targeted therapy independent of the oncogenic pathway inhibited or properties of the primary tumor, that the mechanisms underlying dormancy at local and distant sites may be related, and that the dormant state represents a potential therapeutic target for preventing cancer recurrence.
