AbstractAberrantly expressed microRNAs have been implicated in lots of cancers. Reduced amounts of let-7g have been found in breast cancer tissues. The function of let-7g in bone metastasis of breast cancer remains poorly understood. This study is to explore the significance of let-7g and its novel target gene in bone metastasis of breast cancer.The expression of let-7g or forkhead box C2 (FOXC2) was measured in human clinical breast cancer tissues with bone metastasis by using quantitative real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). After transfection with let-7g or anti-let-7g in breast cancer cell linesMDA-MB-231or SK-BR3, qRT-PCR and Western blot were done to test the levels of let-7g and FOXC2. The effect of anti-let-7g and/ or FOXC2 RNA interference (RNAi) on cell migration in breast cancer cells was evaluated by using wound healing assay.Clinically, qRT-PCR showed that FOXC2 levels were higher in breast cancer tissues with bone metastasis than those in their noncancerous counterparts. Let-7g was showed to be negatively correlated with FOXC2 in human breast cancer samples with bone metastasis. We found that enforced expression of let-7g reduced levels of FOXC2 protein by using Western blot in MDA-MB-231 cells. Conversely, anti-let-7g enhanced levels of FOXC2 in SK-BR3 cells. In terms of function, anti-let-7g accelerated migration of SK-BR3 cells. Interestingly, FOXC2 RNAi abrogated anti-let-7g-mediated migration in breast cancer cells. Thus, we conclude that let-7g suppresses cell migration through targeting FOXC2 in breast cancer. Our finding provides a new perspective for understanding the mechanism of bone metastasis in breast cancer.

ATP released by bone osteocytes is shown to activate purinergic signaling and inhibit the metastasis of breast cancer cells into the bone. However, the underlying molecular mechanism is not well understood. Here, we demonstrate the important roles of the CXCR4 and P2Y11 purinergic receptors in mediating the inhibitory effect of ATP on breast cancer cell migration and bone metastasis. Wound-healing and transwell migration assays showed that non-hydrolysable ATP analogue, ATPγS, inhibited migration of bone-tropic human breast cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. BzATP, an agonist for P2X7 and an inducer for P2Y11 internalization, had a similar dose-dependent inhibition on cell migration. Both ATPγS and BzATP suppressed the expression of CXCR4, a chemokine receptor known to promote breast cancer bone metastasis, and knocking down CXCR4 expression by siRNA attenuated the inhibitory effect of ATPγS on cancer cell migration. While a P2X7 antagonist A804598 had no effect on the impact of ATPγS on cell migration, antagonizing P2Y11 by NF157 ablated the effect of ATPγS. Moreover, the reduction in P2Y11 expression by siRNA decreased cancer cell migration and abolished the impact of ATPγS on cell migration and CXCR4 expression. Similar to the effect of ATPγS on cell migration, antagonizing P2Y11 inhibited bone-tropic breast cancer cell migration in a dose-dependent manner. An in vivo study using an intratibial bone metastatic model showed that ATPγS inhibited breast cancer growth in the bone. Taken together, these results suggest that ATP inhibits bone-tropic breast cancer cells by down-regulating the P2Y11 purinergic receptor and the down-regulation of CXCR4 expression.

e13002 Background: We previously demonstrated that BRMS1L (breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 like) suppresses breast cancer metastasis through HDAC1 recruitment and histone H3K9 deacetylation at the promoter of FZD10, a receptor for Wnt signaling. It is still unclear whether BRMS1L regulates organ-specific metastases, such as bone metastasis, the most prevalent metastatic site of breast cancer. Methods: Examination of the expression of BRMS1L in primary tumors, bone metastatic and other metastatic tissues from breast cancer patients was implemented using qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry staining. To investigate the mechanism by which BRMS1L drives breast cancer bone metastasis, we tested the mRNA expression by qRT-PCR of a set of potential bone related genes (BRGs) based on PubMed database in MDA-MB-231 cells over expressing BRMS1L and MCF-7 cells knocking-down BRMS1L, and detected the expression of CXCR4 in these established cells by western blot. Transwell assays were performed to assess the migration abilities of breast cancer cells towards osteoblasts. ChIP (Chromatin Immuno-Precipitation) were employed to test the interaction between BRMS1L and CXCR4. Results: At both mRNA and protein levels, the expression of BRMS1L was significantly lower in bone metastatic sites than that in primary cancer tissues and other metastatic sites of breast cancer patients. CXCR4 was screened out in a set of BRGs and negatively correlated with the expression of BRMS1L in breast cancer cell lines. BRMS1L inhibited the migration of breast cancer cells towards osteoblasts through CXCL12/CXCR4 axis. In the presence of TSA treatment, breast cancer cell lines showed an increased expression of CXCR4 in a TSA concentration-dependent manner. In addition, ChIP assays verified that BRMS1L directly bound to the promoter region of CXCR4 and inhibited its transcription through promoter histone deacetylation. Conclusions: BRMS1L mediates the migration abilities of breast cancer cells to bone microenvironment via targeting CXCR4 and contributes to bone metastasis of breast cancer cells. Thus, BRMS1L may be a potential biomarker for predicting bone metastasis in breast cancer.

Abstract Bone destruction induced by breast cancer metastasis causes severe complications, including death, in breast cancer patients. Communication between cancer cells and skeletal cells in metastatic bone microenvironments is a principal element that drives tumor progression and osteolysis. Tumor-derived factors play fundamental roles in this form of communication. To identify soluble factors released from cancer cells in bone metastasis, we established a highly bone-metastatic subline of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. This subline (mtMDA) showed a markedly elevated ability to secrete S100A4 protein, which directly stimulated osteoclast formation via surface receptor RAGE. Recombinant S100A4 stimulated osteoclastogenesis in vitro and bone loss in vivo. Conditioned medium from mtMDA cells in which S100A4 was knocked down had a reduced ability to stimulate osteoclasts. Furthermore, the S100A4 knockdown cells elicited less bone destruction in mice than the control knockdown cells. In addition, administration of an anti-S100A4 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that we developed attenuated the stimulation of osteoclastogenesis and bone loss by mtMDA in mice. Taken together, our results suggest that S100A4 released from breast cancer cells is an important player in the osteolysis caused by breast cancer bone metastasis.
