Cell fate determination factor Dachshund reprograms breast cancer stem cell function.
The cell fate determination factor Dachshund was cloned as a dominant inhibitor of the hyperactive epidermal growth factor receptor ellipse. The expression of Dachshund is lost in human breast cancer associated with poor prognosis. Breast tumor-initiating cells (TIC) may contribute to tumor progression and therapy resistance. Here,endogenous DACH1 was reduced in breast cancer cell lines with high expression of TIC markers and in patient samples of the basal breast cancer phenotype. Re-expression of DACH1 reduced new tumor formation in serial transplantations in vivo,reduced mammosphere formation,and reduced the proportion of CD44(high)/CD24(low) breast tumor cells. Conversely,lentiviral shRNA to DACH1 increased the breast (B)TIC population. Genome-wide expression studies of mammary tumors demonstrated DACH1 repressed a molecular signature associated with stem cells (SOX2,Nanog,and KLF4) and genome-wide ChIP-seq analysis identified DACH1 binding to the promoter of the Nanog,KLF4,and Lin28 genes. KLF4/c-Myc and Oct4/Sox2 antagonized DACH1 repression of BTIC. Mechanistic studies demonstrated DACH1 directly repressed the Nanog and Sox2 promoters via a conserved domain. Endogenous DACH1 regulates BTIC in vitro and in vivo.

Effects of estrogen on the proportion of stem cells in the breast.
There is increasing evidence that breast cancers contain tumor-initiating cells with stem cell properties. The importance of estrogen in the development of the mammary gland and in breast cancer is well known,but the influence of estrogen on the stem cell population has not been assessed. We show that estrogen reduces the proportion of stem cells in the normal human mammary gland and in breast cancer cells. The embryonic stem cell genes NANOG,OCT4,and SOX2 are expressed in normal breast stem cells and at higher levels in breast tumor cells and their expression decreases upon differentiation. Overexpression of each stem cell gene reduces estrogen receptor (ER) expression,and increases the number of stem cells and their capacity for invasion,properties associated with tumorigenesis and poor prognosis. These results indicate that estrogen reduces the size of the human breast stem cell pool and may provide an explanation for the better prognosis of ER-positive tumors.

Technology update for the sorting and identification of breast cancer stem cells.
Breast cancer stem cells are a group of undifferentiated cells with self-renewal and multidifferentiation potential. Chemotherapeutic and radiotherapeutic resistance,hypoxic resistance,high tumorigenicity,high cell invasion,and metastatic abilities are characteristics of these cells,which are responsible for breast cancer recurrence. Therefore,the correct sorting and identification of breast cancer stem cells is a primary step for research in this field. This article briefly describes the recent progress on sorting and identification technologies for breast cancer stem cells. Sorting technologies include the side population technique,technologies that depend on cell surface markers,ALDEFLUOR assays,and in situ detection. Identification technologies include mammosphere cultures,limited dilution in vitro,and in-vivo animal models. This review provides an important reference for breast cancer stem cell research,which will explore new methods for the treatment of patients with breast cancer.

Stem cells in the human breast.
The origins of the epithelial cells participating in the development,tissue homeostasis,and cancer of the human breast are poorly understood. However,emerging evidence suggests a role for adult tissue-specific stem cells in these processes. In a hierarchical manner,these generate the two main mammary cell lineages,producing an increasing number of cells with distinct properties. Understanding the biological characteristics of human breast stem cells and their progeny is crucial in attempts to compare the features of normal stem cells and cancer precursor cells and distinguish these from nonprecursor cells and cells from the bulk of a tumor. A historical overview of research on human breast stem cells in primary tissue and in culture reveals the progress that has been made in this area,whereas a focus on the cell-of-origin and reprogramming that occurs during neoplastic conversion provides insight into the enigmatic way in which human breast cancers are skewed toward the luminal epithelial lineage.

Mammary epithelial-specific ablation of the focal adhesion kinase suppresses mammary tumorigenesis by affecting mammary cancer stem/progenitor cells.
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) has been implicated in the development of cancers,including those of the breast. Nevertheless,the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which FAK promotes mammary tumorigenesis in vivo are not well understood. Here,we show that targeted deletion of FAK in mouse mammary epithelium significantly suppresses mammary tumorigenesis in a well-characterized breast cancer model. Ablation of FAK leads to the depletion of a subset of bipotent cells in the tumor that express both luminal marker keratin 8/18 and basal marker keratin 5. Using mammary stem/progenitor markers,including aldehyde dehydrogenase,CD24,CD29,and CD61,we further revealed that ablation of FAK reduced the pool of cancer stem/progenitor cells in primary tumors of FAK-targeted mice and impaired their self-renewal and migration in vitro. Finally,through transplantation in NOD-SCID mice,we found that cancer stem/progenitor cells isolated from FAK-targeted mice have compromised tumorigenicity and impaired maintenance in vivo. Together,these results show a novel function of FAK in maintaining the mammary cancer stem/progenitor cell population and provide a novel mechanism by which FAK may promote breast cancer development and progression.

High aldehyde dehydrogenase and expression of cancer stem cell markers selects for breast cancer cells with enhanced malignant and metastatic ability.
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have recently been identified in leukaemia and solid tumours; however,the role of CSCs in metastasis remains poorly understood. This dearth of knowledge about CSCs and metastasis is due largely to technical challenges associated with the use of primary human cancer cells in pre-clinical models of metastasis. Therefore,the objective of this study was to develop suitable pre-clinical model systems for studying stem-like cells in breast cancer metastasis,and to test the hypothesis that stem-like cells play a key role in metastatic behaviour. We assessed four different human breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-435,MDA-MB-231,MDA-MB-468,MCF-7) for expression of prospective CSC markers CD44/CD24 and CD133,and for functional activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH),an enzyme involved in stem cell self-protection. We then used fluorescence-activated cell sorting and functional assays to characterize differences in malignant/metastatic behaviour in vitro (proliferation,colony-forming ability,adhesion,migration,invasion) and in vivo (tumorigenicity and metastasis). Sub-populations of cells demonstrating stem-cell-like characteristics (high expression of CSC markers and/or high ALDH) were identified in all cell lines except MCF-7. When isolated and compared to ALDH(low)CD44(low/-) cells,ALDH(hi)CD44(+)CD24(-) (MDA-MB-231) and ALDH(hi)CD44(+)CD133(+) (MDA-MB-468) cells demonstrated increased growth (P textless 0.05),colony formation (P textless 0.05),adhesion (P textless 0.001),migration (P textless 0.001) and invasion (P textless 0.001). Furthermore,following tail vein or mammary fat pad injection of NOD/SCID/IL2gamma receptor null mice,ALDH(hi)CD44(+)CD24(-) and ALDH(hi)CD44(+)CD133(+) cells showed enhanced tumorigenicity and metastasis relative to ALDH(low)CD44(low/-) cells (P textless 0.05). These novel results suggest that stem-like ALDH(hi)CD44(+)CD24(-) and ALDH(hi)CD44(+)CD133(+) cells may be important mediators of breast cancer metastasis.

Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Signaling Is Essential for Normal Mammary Gland Development and Stem Cell Function
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling plays an important role in embryonic stem cells and adult tissue homeostasis,but the function of FGFs in mammary gland stem cells is less well defined. Both FGFR1 and FGFR2 are expressed in basal and luminal mammary epithelial cells (MECs),suggesting that together they might play a role in mammary gland development and stem cell dynamics. Previous studies have demonstrated that the deletion of FGFR2 resulted only in transient developmental defects in branching morphogenesis. Using a conditional deletion strategy,we investigated the consequences of FGFR1 deletion alone and then the simultaneous deletion of both FGFR1 and FGFR2 in the mammary epithelium. FGFR1 deletion using a keratin 14 promoter-driven Cre-recombinase resulted in an early,yet transient delay in development. However,no reduction in functional outgrowth potential was observed following limiting dilution transplantation analysis. In contrast,a significant reduction in outgrowth potential was observed upon the deletion of both FGFR1 and FGFR2 in MECs using adenovirus-Cre. Additionally,using a fluorescent reporter mouse model to monitor Cre-mediated recombination,we observed a competitive disadvantage following transplantation of both FGFR1/R2-null MECs,most prominently in the basal epithelial cells. This correlated with the complete loss of the mammary stem cell repopulating population in the FGFR1/R2-attenuated epithelium. FGFR1/R2-null MECs were partially rescued in chimeric outgrowths containing wild-type MECs,suggesting the potential importance of paracrine mechanisms involved in the maintenance of the basal epithelial stem cells. These studies document the requirement for functional FGFR signaling in mammary stem cells during development.

Activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor AhR Promotes retinoic acid-induced differentiation of myeloblastic leukemia cells by restricting expression of the stem cell transcription factor Oct4.
Retinoic acid (RA) is used to treat leukemia and other cancers through its ability to promote cancer cell differentiation. Strategies to enhance the anticancer effects of RA could deepen and broaden its beneficial therapeutic applications. In this study,we describe a receptor cross-talk system that addresses this issue. RA effects are mediated by RAR/RXR receptors that we show are modified by interactions with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR),a protein functioning both as a transcription factor and a ligand-dependent adaptor in an ubiquitin ligase complex. RAR/RXR and AhR pathways cross-talk at the levels of ligand-receptor and also receptor-promoter interactions. Here,we assessed the role of AhR during RA-induced differentiation and a hypothesized convergence at Oct4,a transcription factor believed to maintain stem cell characteristics. RA upregulated AhR and downregulated Oct4 during differentiation of HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells. AhR overexpression in stable transfectants downregulated Oct4 and also decreased ALDH1 activity,another stem cell-associated factor,enhancing RA-induced differentiation as indicated by cell differentiation markers associated with early (CD38 and CD11b) and late (neutrophilic respiratory burst) responses. AhR overexpression also increased levels of activated Raf1,which is known to help propel RA-induced differentiation. RNA interference-mediated knockdown of Oct4 enhanced RA-induced differentiation and G(0) cell-cycle arrest relative to parental cells. Consistent with the hypothesized importance of Oct4 downregulation for differentiation,parental cells rendered resistant to RA by biweekly high RA exposure displayed elevated Oct4 levels that failed to be downregulated. Together,our results suggested that therapeutic effects of RA-induced leukemia differentiation depend on AhR and its ability to downregulate the stem cell factor Oct4.

The role of human aldehyde dehydrogenase in normal and cancer stem cells.
Normal stem cells and cancer stem cells (CSCs) share similar properties,in that both have the capacity to self-renew and differentiate into multiple cell types. In both the normal stem cell and cancer stem cell fields,there has been a great need for a universal marker that can effectively identify and isolate these rare populations of cells in order to characterize them and use this information for research and therapeutic purposes. Currently,it would appear that certain isoenzymes of the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) superfamily may be able to fulfill this role as a marker for both normal and cancer stem cells. ALDH has been identified as an important enzyme in the protection of normal hematopoietic stem cells,and is now also widely used as a marker to identify and isolate various types of normal stem cells and CSCs. In addition,emerging evidence suggests that ALDH1 is not only a marker for stem cells,but may also play important functional roles related to self-protection,differentiation,and expansion. This comprehensive review discusses the role that ALDH plays in normal stem cells and CSCs,with focus on ALDH1 and ALDH3A1. Discrepancies in the functional themes between cell types and future perspectives for therapeutic applications will also be discussed.

Prolonged drug selection of breast cancer cells and enrichment of cancer stem cell characteristics.
BACKGROUND: Cancer stem cells are presumed to have virtually unlimited proliferative and self-renewal abilities and to be highly resistant to chemotherapy,a feature that is associated with overexpression of ATP-binding cassette transporters. We investigated whether prolonged continuous selection of cells for drug resistance enriches cultures for cancer stem-like cells. METHODS: Cancer stem cells were defined as CD44+/CD24�?� cells that could self-renew (ie,generate cells with the tumorigenic CD44+/CD24�?� phenotype),differentiate,invade,and form tumors in vivo. We used doxorubicin-selected MCF-7/ADR cells,weakly tumorigenic parental MCF-7 cells,and MCF-7/MDR,an MCF-7 subline with forced expression of ABCB1 protein. Cells were examined for cell surface markers and side-population fractions by microarray and flow cytometry,with in vitro invasion assays,and for ability to form mammospheres. Xenograft tumors were generated in mice to examine tumorigenicity (n = 52). The mRNA expression of multidrug resistance genes was examined in putative cancer stem cells and pathway analysis of statistically significantly differentially expressed genes was performed. All statistical tests were two-sided. RESULTS: Pathway analysis showed that MCF-7/ADR cells express mRNAs from ABCB1 and other genes also found in breast cancer stem cells (eg,CD44,TGFB1,and SNAI1). MCF-7/ADR cells were highly invasive,formed mammospheres,and were tumorigenic in mice. In contrast to parental MCF-7 cells,more than 30% of MCF-7/ADR cells had a CD44+/CD24�?� phenotype,could self-renew,and differentiate (ie,produce CD44+/CD24�?� and CD44+/CD24+ cells) and overexpressed various multidrug resistance-linked genes (including ABCB1,CCNE1,and MMP9). MCF-7/ADR cells were statistically significantly more invasive in Matrigel than parental MCF-7 cells (MCF-7 cells = 0.82 cell per field and MCF-7/ADR = 7.51 cells per field,difference = 6.69 cells per field,95% confidence interval = 4.82 to 8.55 cells per field,P textless .001). No enrichment in the CD44+/CD24�?� or CD133+ population was detected in MCF-7/MDR. CONCLUSION: The cell population with cancer stem cell characteristics increased after prolonged continuous selection for doxorubicin resistance.

The lymphovascular embolus of inflammatory breast cancer exhibits a Notch 3 addiction.
Inflammatory breast carcinoma (IBC) is characterized by exaggerated lymphovascular invasion (LVI),recapitulated in our human xenograft,MARY-X. This model exhibited lymphovascular emboli in vivo and corresponding spheroids in vitro. Owing to the morphological and gene profile resemblance of these spheroids to embryonal blastocysts,we wondered whether they might exhibit embryonic stem cell signaling. Specifically we investigated Notch and observed selective Notch 3 activation by expression profiling,reverse transcriptase- and real-time PCR,western blot and immunofluorescence in vitro,and immunohistochemistry in vivo. Notch 3 intracellular domain (N3icd) and six target genes,HES-5,HEY-1,c-Myc,Deltex-1,NRARP and PBX1,markedly increased in MARY-X. In addition,a significant percentage of MARY-X cells expressed aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH),a stem cell marker. Only the ALDH(+) cells were capable of secondary spheroidgenesis,tumorigenicity and self-renewal. Inhibiting Notch 3 activation in vitro with γ-secretase inhibitors (GSIs) or small interfering RNA resulted in a downregulation of Notch target genes,including CD133,and an induction of caspase 3-mediated apoptosis. Transfection of N3icd but not Notch 1 intracellular domain into normal human mammary epithelial cells resulted in increased expression of Notch target genes and induction of spheroidgenesis. GSI in vivo resulted in inhibitory but diffusion-limited effects on Notch 3 signaling,resulting in xenograft growth reduction. The lymphovascular emboli of human IBC exhibited dual N3icd and ALDH1 immunoreactivities independently of molecular subtype. This Notch 3 addiction of lymphovascular emboli might be exploited in future therapeutic strategies.
