e14099 Background:The identification of a targeted therapy for patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most urgent needs in breast cancer therapeutics. Since the p53 gene is mutated in approximately 80% of TNBC patients, it is a potential therapeutic target for this form of breast cancer. PK11007 is a 2-sulfonypyrimidine that stabilizes and reactivates mutant p53 (Bauer et al, PNAS 2016). The compound recently was reported to preferentially decrease viability in p53-compromised cancer cells. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate PK11007 as a potential new treatment for TNBC. Methods: Cell viability was determined using the MTT assay. Apoptosis was detected using Annexin V Apoptosis Detection Kit. Migration was determined by Transwell migration assay. Knockdowns of p53 protein were carried out using predesigned Flexitube sequences (Qiagen). Results: IC50 values for inhibition of proliferation by PK11007 in the panel of 17 breast cell lines ranged from 2.3 to 42.2 μM. There were significantly lower IC50values for TNBC than for non-TNBC cell lines (p = 0.03) and for p53-mutated cell lines compared with p53 WT cells (p = 0.003). Response to PK11007 however, was independent of ER or HER2 status of the cells. In addition, PK11007 induced apoptosis and inhibited migration in p53 mutant cell lines. Using RNAseq and gene ontogeny analysis, we found that PK11007 altered the expression of genes enriched in pathways involved in regulated cell death, regulation of apoptosis, signal transduction, protein refolding and locomotion. To establish if PK11007 acts by targeting mutant p53, we used siRNA to knockdown p53 in 3 p53-mutated TNBC cell lines. Reduction in p53 protein levels resulted in a significant decrease in the growth inhibitory effects of PK11007, in all 3 cell lines investigated, suggesting that PK11007 mediates growth inhibition via p53. The observations that PK11007 inhibited cell growth, induced apoptosis, blocked cell migration and altered genes involved in cell death, are all consistent with the ability of PK11007 to activate mutant p53. Conclusions: Based on our data, we conclude that targeting mutant p53 with PK11007 is a potential approach for treating p53-mutated TNBC.

AimsCharacterising the factors responsible for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is of significant importance, considering its high mortality rate and scant data. In this study, we evaluated the characteristics, clinical behaviour and role of biomarkers (androgen receptor (AR), oestrogen receptor beta (ERβ) and p53) in metastatic TNBC.MethodsImmunohistochemistry was performed for AR, ERβ and p53 on 125 primary TNBCs with known metastasis and correlated with clinicopathological parameters and outcome. AR and p53 mRNA profiling was also carried out on 34 tumours from the same series and correlated with outcomes.ResultsIn this cohort, grade 3 and pT2 tumours predominated. The most common site for metastasis was the lung and pleura (41, 32.8%), and 15 (12.0%) cases demonstrated metastasis in multiple sites. Among these, 92% of tumours metastasised without preceding local recurrences. Five- and ten-year overall survival (OS) rates were 27% and 7.2%, while 5- and 10- year survival rates after metastasis were 9.6% and 3.2% respectively. AR, ERβ and p53 protein expressions were observed in 16%, 96.8% and 58.1% of tumours, respectively. A combinational phenotype of AR-ERβ+p53+ tumours was associated with poorer OS (HR 1.543, 95%CI 1.030 to 2.310, p=0.035). Higher AR mRNA levels were significantly associated with favourable OS (p=0.015) and survival after metastasis (p=0.027).ConclusionsMetastatic TNBC harboured aggressive behaviour and displayed predominantly visceral metastasis with most metastatic events occurring without intervening local recurrences. A combinational phenotype of AR-ERβ+p53+ was significantly associated with poorer OS.

Inactivating Mutation

The role of Src family kinases (SFKs) in human tumors has been always associated with tyrosine kinase activity and much less attention has been given to the SH2 and SH3 adapter domains. Here, we studied the role of the c-Src-SH2 domain in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). To this end, SUM159PT and MDA-MB-231 human cell lines were employed as model systems. These cells conditionally expressed, under tetracycline control (Tet-On system), a c-Src variant with point-inactivating mutation of the SH2 adapter domain (R175L). The expression of this mutant reduced the self-renewal capability of the enriched population of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs), demonstrating the importance of the SH2 adapter domain of c-Src in the mammary gland carcinogenesis. In addition, the analysis of anchorage-independent growth, proliferation, migration, and invasiveness, all processes associated with tumorigenesis, showed that the SH2 domain of c-Src plays a very relevant role in their regulation. Furthermore, the transfection of two different aptamers directed to SH2-c-Src in both SUM159PT and MDA-MB-231 cells induced inhibition of their proliferation, migration, and invasiveness, strengthening the hypothesis that this domain is highly involved in TNBC tumorigenesis. Therefore, the SH2 domain of c-Src could be a promising therapeutic target and combined treatments with inhibitors of c-Src kinase enzymatic activity may represent a new therapeutic strategy for patients with TNBC, whose prognosis is currently very negative.
