Cancers overexpressing the ERBB2 oncogene are aggressive and associated with a poor prognosis. Trastuzumab is an ERBB2 specific recombinant antibody employed for the treatment of these diseases since it blocks ERBB2 signaling causing growth arrest and survival inhibition. While the effects of Trastuzumab on ERBB2 cancer cells are well known, those on the extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from these cells are scarce. This study focused on ERBB2+ breast cancer cells and aimed to establish what type of EVs they release and whether Trastuzumab affects their morphology and molecular composition. To these aims, we performed immunoelectron microscopy, immunoblot, and high-resolution mass spectrometry analyses on EVs purified by differential centrifugation of culture supernatant. Here, we show that EVs released from ERBB2+ breast cancer cells are polymorphic in size and appearance and that ERBB2 is preferentially associated with large (120 nm) EVs. Moreover, we report that Trastuzumab (Tz) induces the expression of a specific glycosylated 50 kDa isoform of the CD63 tetraspanin and modulates the expression of 51 EVs proteins, including TOP1. Because these proteins are functionally associated with organelle organization, cytokinesis, and response to lipids, we suggest that Tz may influence these cellular processes in target cells at distant sites via modified EVs.

Apoptotic pathways in breast cancer cells are frequently altered, reducing the efficiency of radiotherapy. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), known to trigger apoptosis, was tested as radiosensitizer in breast cancer cells MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. The CLA-mix, made up of the isomers CLA-9cis 11trans and CLA-10trans 12cis, was compared to three purified isomers, i.e., the CLA-9cis 11cis, CLA-9cis 11trans, and CLA-10trans 12cis. Using the apoptotic marker YO-PRO®-1, the CLA-9cis 11cis at 50 µmol/L turned out to be the best apoptotic inducer leading to a 10-fold increase in MCF-7 cells and a 2,5-fold increase in MDA-MB-231 cells, comparatively to the CLA-mix. Contrary to previous studies on colorectal and prostate cancer cells, CLA-10trans 12cis does not lead to an apoptotic response on breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. Our results also suggest that the main components of the CLA-mix (CLA-9cis 11trans and CLA-10trans 12cis) are not involved in the induction of apoptosis in the breast cancer cells studied. A dose of 5 Gy did not induce apoptosis in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. The addition of CLA-9cis 11cis or CLA-mix has allowed us to observe a radiation-induced apoptosis, with the CLA-9cis 11cis being about 8-fold better than the CLA-mix. CLA-9cis 11cis turned out to be the best radiosensitizer, although the isomers CLA-9cis 11trans and CLA-10trans 12cis have also reduced the cell survival following irradiation, but using a mechanism not related to apoptosis. In conclusion, the radiosensitizing property of CLA-9cis 11cis supports its potential as an agent to improve radiotherapy against breast carcinoma.Key words: breast cancer, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), radiotherapy, apoptosis.

Disseminated breast cancer cells have the capacity to metastasise to the bone marrow and reside in a dormant state within the mesenchymal stem cell niche. Research has focussed on paracrine signalling factors, such as soluble proteins, within the microenvironment. However, it is now clear extracellular vesicles secreted by resident mesenchymal stem cells into this microenvironment also play a key role in the initiation of dormancy. Dormancy encourages reduced cell proliferation and migration, while upregulating cell adhesion, thus retaining the cancer cells within the bone marrow microenvironment. Here, MCF7 breast cancer cells were treated with mesenchymal stem cell–derived extracellular vesicles, resulting in reduced migration in two-dimensional and three-dimensional culture, with reduced cell proliferation and enhanced adhesion, collectively supporting cancer cell dormancy.
