Abstract
SMARCB1 loss has long been observed in many solid tumors. However, there is a need to elucidate targetable pathways driving growth and metastasis in SMARCB1-deficient tumors. Here, we demonstrate that SMARCB1 deficiency, defined as genomic SMARCB1 copy number loss associated with reduced mRNA, drives disease progression in patients with bladder cancer by engaging STAT3. SMARCB1 loss increases the chromatin accessibility of the STAT3 locus in vitro. Orthotopically implanted SMARCB1 knockout (KO) cell lines exhibit increased tumor growth and metastasis. SMARCB1-deficient tumors show an increased IL6/JAK/STAT3 signaling axis in in vivo models and patients. Furthermore, a pSTAT3 selective inhibitor, TTI-101, reduces tumor growth in SMARCB1 KO orthotopic cell line-derived xenografts and a SMARCB1-deficient patient derived xenograft model. We have identified a gene signature generated from SMARCB1 KO tumors that predicts SMARCB1 deficiency in patients. Overall, these findings support the clinical evaluation of STAT3 inhibitors for the treatment of SMARCB1-deficient bladder cancer.

Comprehensive multi-level expression profiling of key biomarkers in breast cancer patients. Am J Transl Res 2023; 15:6058-6070. [PMID: 37969199 PMCID: PMC10641354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES In this comprehensive breast cancer (BC) study, we aimed to identify, validate, and characterize key biomarkers with significant implications in BC diagnosis, prognosis, and as therapeutic targets. METHODS Our research strategy involved a multi-level methodology, combining bioinformatic analysis with experimental validation. RESULTS Initially, we conducted an extensive literature search to identify BC biomarkers, selecting those with reported accuracies exceeding 20% in specificity and sensitivity. This yielded nine candidate biomarkers, which we subsequently analyzed using Cytoscape to identify a few key biomarkers. Based on the degree method, we denoted four key biomarkers, including progesterone receptor (PGR), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), and Erb-B2 Receptor Tyrosine Kinase 2 (ERBB2). Expression analysis using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset revealed that PGR and EGFR exhibited significant (p-value < 0.05) down-regulation in BC samples when compared to controls, while ESR1 and ERBB2 showed up-regulation. To strengthen our findings, we collected clinical BC tissue samples from Pakistani patients and performed expression verification using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The results aligned with our initial TCGA dataset analysis, further validating the differential expression of these key biomarkers in BC. Furthermore, we utilized receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to demonstrate the diagnostic use of these biomarkers. Our analysis underscored their accuracy and sensitivity as diagnostic markers for BC. Survival analysis using the Kaplan-Meier Plotter tool revealed a prognostic significance of PGR, ESR1, EGFR, and ERBB2. Their expression levels were associated with poor overall survival (OS) of BC patients, shedding light on their roles as prognostic indicators in BC. Lastly, we explored DrugBank to identify drugs that may reverse the expression patterns , and estradiol, decitabine, and carbamazepine were singled out. CONCLUSION Our study gives valuable insight into BC biomarkers, for diagnosis and prognosis. These findings have implications for BC management using personalized and targeted therapeutic approaches for BC patients.

Abstract
Despite advances in proteomic technologies, clinical translation of plasma biomarkers remains low, partly due to a major bottleneck between the discovery of candidate biomarkers and costly clinical validation studies. Due to a dearth of multiplexable assays, generally only a few candidate biomarkers are tested, and the validation success rate is accordingly low. Previously, mass spectrometry-based approaches have been used to fill this gap but feature poor quantitative performance and were generally limited to hundreds of proteins. Here, we demonstrate the capability of an internal standard triggered-parallel reaction monitoring (IS-PRM) assay to greatly expand the numbers of candidates that can be tested with improved quantitative performance. The assay couples immunodepletion and fractionation with IS-PRM and was developed and implemented in human plasma to quantify 5176 peptides representing 1314 breast cancer biomarker candidates. Characterization of the IS-PRM assay demonstrated the precision (median % CV of 7.7%), linearity (median R2 > 0.999 over 4 orders of magnitude), and sensitivity (median LLOQ < 1 fmol, approximately) to enable rank-ordering of candidate biomarkers for validation studies. Using three plasma pools from breast cancer patients and three control pools, 893 proteins were quantified, of which 162 candidate biomarkers were verified in at least one of the cancer pools and 22 were verified in all three cancer pools. The assay greatly expands capabilities for quantification of large numbers of proteins and is well suited for prioritization of viable candidate biomarkers.

Abstract
Cancer metastasis requires the transient activation of cellular programs enabling dissemination and seeding in distant organs1. Genetic, transcriptional and translational heterogeneity contributes to this dynamic process2,3. Metabolic heterogeneity has also been observed4, yet its role in cancer progression is less explored. Here we find that the loss of phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) potentiates metastatic dissemination. Specifically, we find that heterogeneous or low PHGDH expression in primary tumours of patients with breast cancer is associated with decreased metastasis-free survival time. In mice, circulating tumour cells and early metastatic lesions are enriched with Phgdhlow cancer cells, and silencing Phgdh in primary tumours increases metastasis formation. Mechanistically, Phgdh interacts with the glycolytic enzyme phosphofructokinase, and the loss of this interaction activates the hexosamine-sialic acid pathway, which provides precursors for protein glycosylation. As a consequence, aberrant protein glycosylation occurs, including increased sialylation of integrin αvβ3, which potentiates cell migration and invasion. Inhibition of sialylation counteracts the metastatic ability of Phgdhlow cancer cells. In conclusion, although the catalytic activity of PHGDH supports cancer cell proliferation, low PHGDH protein expression non-catalytically potentiates cancer dissemination and metastasis formation. Thus, the presence of PHDGH heterogeneity in primary tumours could be considered a sign of tumour aggressiveness.
