Circular RNAs (CircRNAs) were revealed to be implicated in the development of breast cancer. In this research, we aimed to investigate the role and underlying mechanism of circ_0008500 in the development and radiosensitivity of breast cancer. Using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot, we found that hsa_circ_0008500 (circ_0008500) and profilin 2 (PFN2) were increased, while microRNA-758-3p (miR-758-3p) was decreased in breast cancer tissues and cells. Cell viability, the number of colonies, proliferation and apoptosis were detected using CCK-8, colony formation, EdU assays and flow cytometry, respectively. Dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays were devoted to test the interaction between miR-758-3p and circ_0008500 or PFN2. The results showed that circ_0008500 knockdown inhibited cell growth, and facilitated cell apoptosis and radiosensitivity in breast cancer cells in vitro. Moreover, circ_0008500 regulated PFN2 expression by sponging miR-758-3p. Functionally, circ_0008500 knockdown regulated cell behaviors and radiosensitivity by targeting miR-758-3p to downregulate PFN2 expression in vitro. Additionally, in vivo tumor formation assay and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay demonstrated that circ_0008500 knockdown enhanced the radiosensitivity and repressed tumor growth in vivo. In conclusion, circ_0008500 inhibition promoted the radiosensitivity and restrained the development of breast cancer by downregulating PFN2 expression via targeting miR-758-3p.</p>","PeriodicalId":16413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mammary Gland Biology and Neoplasia","volume":"27 1","pages":"37-52"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41359950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During lactation, signals are communicated from the mother to the infant through milk via macronutrients, hormones, and bioactive molecules. In this study we designed experiments to probe the mother-milk-infant triad in the condition of normal maternal health and upon exposure to high fat diet (HFD) with or without concurrent metformin exposure. We examined maternal characteristics, milk composition and offspring metabolic parameters on postnatal day 16, prior to offspring weaning. We found that lactational HFD increased maternal adipose tissue weight, mammary gland adipocyte size, and altered milk lipid composition causing a higher amount of omega-6 (n6) long chain fatty acids and lower omega-3 (n3). Offspring of HFD dams were heavier with more body fat during suckling. Metformin (Met) exposure decreased maternal blood glucose and several milk amino acids. Offspring of met dams were smaller during suckling. Gene expression in the lactating mammary glands was impacted to a greater extent by metformin than HFD, but both metformin and HFD altered genes related to muscle contraction, indicating that these genes may be more susceptible to lactational stressors.

The current standard of care is surgical removal of the lesion, to prevent potential progression, and radiotherapy to reduce risk of recurrence. There is substantial overtreatment of DCIS patients, considering not all DCIS lesions progress to invasive disease. Hence, there is a critical imperative to better predict which DCIS lesions are destined for poor outcome and which are not, allowing for tailored treatment. Active surveillance is currently being trialed as an alternative management practice, but this approach relies on accurately identifying cases that are at low risk of progression to invasive disease. Two DCIS-specific genomic profiling assays that attempt to distinguish low and high-risk patients have emerged, but imperfections in risk stratification coupled with a high price tag warrant the continued search for more robust and accessible prognostic biomarkers. This search has largely turned researchers toward the tumor microenvironment. Recent evidence suggests that a spectrum of cell types within the DCIS microenvironment are genetically and phenotypically altered compared to normal tissue and play critical roles in disease progression. Uncovering the molecular mechanisms contributing to DCIS progression has provided optimism for the search for well-validated prognostic biomarkers that can accurately predict the risk for a patient developing IDC. The discovery of such markers would modernize DCIS management and allow tailored treatment plans.

To address this question, we heated the mammary glands of goats by covering one half of the udder with a disposable heating pad for 24 h, the other uncovered half served as a control. Sixteen Tokara goats (1-5 parity) and three Shiba goats (1-2 parity) at the mid-lactation stage were individually housed, fed 0.6 kg of hay cubes and 0.2 kg of barley per day, and had free access to water and trace-mineralized salt blocks. Milk samples were collected every 6 h for 24 h after covering (n = 16), and deep mammary gland tissue areas were collected after 24 h (n = 5). The concentrations of antimicrobial components [lactoferrin, β-defensin-1, cathelicidin-2, cathelicidin-7, and immunoglobulin A (IgA)] in milk were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The localization of IgA was examined by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA expression and protein concentrations of C-C motif chemokine ligand-28 (CCL-28) and interleukin (IL)-8 in the mammary gland tissue were measured using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and ELISA, respectively. The somatic cell count in milk was significantly higher in the local heat-treatment group than in the control group after 12 h of treatment. The treatment group had significantly higher concentrations of cathelicidin-2 and IgA than the control group after 24 h of treatment. In addition, the number of IgA-positive cells in the mammary stromal region and the concentration of CCL-28 in the mammary glands were increased by local heat treatment.

Since tumor cells employ autophagy as a survival pathway, it has been proposed that autophagy inhibition could be beneficial for cancer treatment. There are several onging clinical trials where autophagy is being inhibited (using chloroquine, CQ or hydroxychloroquine, HCQ) along with chemotherapy with promising results. However, there is also in vitro evidence in which autophagy inhibition can induce epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer cells, indicating that, at least in some cases, this strategy could be detrimental for cancer patients. In this study, we found that the genetic inhibition of autophagy primed cells for EMT by inducing a decrease in E-cadherin protein levels, while CQ treatment decreased E-cadherin levels, induced morphological changes related to EMT, increased EMT-related transcription factor (EMT-TF) expression and migration in estrogen receptor positive (ER +) BC cell lines. Importantly, CQ treatment increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) which induced the secretion of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a pro-inflammatory cytokine related to malignancy. Both ROS production and MIF secretion were responsible for the mesenchymal morphology and increased migratory capacity induced by CQ. Our results indicate that CQ treatment increased malignancy by inducing ROS production, MIF secretion and EMT and suggest that autophagy inhibition in ER + BC patients might have detrimental effects.
