Abstract Introduction Brain metastasis (BrM) occurs in 10-30% of patients with advanced breast cancer (BC). BrM is increasing in incidence and confers a poor prognosis. We aimed to investigate the contribution of global epi-transcriptomic alterations in N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA-methylation as a therapeutic target in brain metastatic breast cancer. Method In preliminary studies we have demonstrated m6A demethylase – FTO as the main contributor to the progression of ER+ breast cancer. Furthermore an association between FTO and reduced disease-free-survival (n=870, p=0.018) was observed. Here we conducted an epigenetic inhibitor screen using two therapeutic agents, ethyl-ester-meclofenamic acid (MA2) and FB23-2 on matched 2D cell line, 3D organoid cultures and patient-derived xenografts (PDX) explant models of brain metastasis. Result Upon integration of mapped global RNA methylation landscape with matched proteomic analysis, we observed genome-wide RNA hypo-methylation of key pluripotency genes, including SOX2 and KLF4, as key players underlying tumour progression to the brain.  Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of FTO in novel ex vivo models of BrM significantly reduced protein expression levels of KLF4 and SOX2. Moreover, pharmacological inhibition of FTO with MA2 and FB23-2, inhibited cell proliferation in endocrine-resistant BC and patient BrM cells. We translate our findings to the clinic by demonstrating the efficacy of anti-FTO therapies in several unique PDX and 3D organoid BrM models. Conclusion Our results reveal epi-transcriptional remodelling events as a key mechanism in BrM. This study establishes an early role for targeting RNA methylation in the management of disease progression and presents FTO as a potential therapeutic target in BrM. Take-home message This study establishes an early role for targeting RNA methylation in the management of disease progression and presents FTO as a potential therapeutic target in brain metastatic breast cancer.

AbstractBrian metastasis, which is diagnosed in 30% of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients with metastasis, causes poor survival outcomes. Growing evidence has characterized miRNAs involving in breast cancer brain metastasis; however, currently, there is a lack of prognostic plasma-based indicator for brain metastasis. In this study, high level of miR-211 can act as brain metastatic prognostic marker in vivo. High miR-211 drives early and specific brain colonization through enhancing trans-blood–brain barrier (BBB) migration, BBB adherence, and stemness properties of tumor cells and causes poor survival in vivo. SOX11 and NGN2 are the downstream targets of miR-211 and negatively regulate miR-211-mediated TNBC brain metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Most importantly, high miR-211 is correlated with poor survival and brain metastasis in TNBC patients. Our findings suggest that miR-211 may be used as an indicator for TNBC brain metastasis.

Abstract OBJECTIVE For patients with HER2-positive breast cancer metastatic to brain, HER2-directed systemic therapies are increasingly used with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). These include monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab (H) and pertuzumab (P), antibody-drug conjugates such as ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), and tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as lapatinib. Limited data exist regarding appropriate timing with SRS and outcomes of this treatment regimen. METHODS A single-institution retrospective review collected clinical data on patients with breast cancer metastatic to brain who were treated with SRS from 2009-2020. Statistical analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and chi-square statistic. RESULTS Of 82 patients with breast cancer metastatic to brain treated with SRS, 33 (40%) were HER2-positive, 18 of whom were hormone receptor-positive. At brain metastasis diagnosis, 15 patients (45%) had >1 intracranial metastasis (range 2-7), and the median brain metastasis maximal dimension was 2.0 cm. Fifteen patients had uncontrolled extracranial disease. After brain metastasis diagnosis, 9 patients (27%) were treated with systemic therapy first (T-DM1+/-HP, lapatinib+HP, chemotherapy+/-HP) followed by SRS at a median of 18.6 months after starting systemic therapy. Seven patients (21%) were treated with SRS first, followed by systemic therapy in 6 of these patients (multi-agent regimens, 4 including T-DM1 or lapatinib). Seventeen (52%) received concurrent systemic therapy and SRS (T-DM1+/-chemotherapy, lapatinib, HP, hormone therapy, chemotherapy). Median follow-up time was 21.1 months. Median overall survival was 24.8 months and not statistically different between treatment groups. Four patients (12%) developed symptomatic radionecrosis; 3 were on T-DM1 concurrent with SRS. CONCLUSION In this small patient sample, we noted favorable survival outcomes for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer metastatic to brain when treated with HER2-targeted therapies together with SRS. The sequence of systemic therapy and SRS does not appear to impact survival outcomes. Concurrent treatment with T-DM1 and SRS may be associated with higher rates of radionecrosis.
