CAFs are also heterogeneous and perform various tumor-promoting tasks. Understanding whether distinct CAF-subsets exert specific functions, and how the composition of CAFs changes as tumors evolve could improve the accuracy of cancer treatment. Here, we analyzed thousands of CAFs by single-cell RNA-sequencing and index-sorting at several timepoints along breast tumor progression in mice, revealing distinct CAF-subsets. We discovered that the transcriptional programs of these subsets change over time, shifting from an immune-regulatory program at earlier timepoints to wound-healing and antigen-presenting programs at later timepoints, indicating that the composition and functions of CAFs are dynamic. We also found the two main CAF subsets in human breast tumors, wherein their ratio was associated with disease outcome. This association was particularly correlated with BRCA mutations in triple-negative breast cancer. Our findings indicate that the diverse composition of CAFs in breast cancer changes over time as tumors progress, and that these changes are linked to disease outcome.

We have recently shown that ZIP4 (gene name SLC39A4), a zinc transporter, is a novel cancer stem cell (CSC) marker in HGSOC. 100-200 ZIP4+, but not ZIP4-, cells from both PE04 and PEA2 cells formed larger tumors than those from 100-200 ALDH+ cells in mice. Mechanistically, we found that ZIP4 was an upstream regulator of another CSC-marker, NOTCH3, in HGSOC cells. NOTCH3 was functionally involved in spheroid formation in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo in HGSOC. Drug-resistance is one of the main characteristics of CSCs, While ZIP4 converts drug-resistance to cisplatin (CDDP) and doxorubicin (DOX) as we reported previously, we unexpectedly found that ZIP4 induced a sensitization of HGSOC cells to histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis). In particular, only those HDACis against the Class IIa HDACs showed ZIP4-dependent sensitization. ZIP4 selectively up-regulated HDAC IIa HDACs, including HDAC4 and 5, with little or no effects to HDACs in other classes. ZIP4 knockout (KO) and HDAC4 knockdown (KD) increased cell resistance to LMK-235, a selective HDAC4/5 inhibitor. LMK-235 and HDAC4 knockdown (KD) inhibited spheroid formation in vitro and tumor development in vivo. Collectively, we revealed a novel ZIP4-NOTCH3-HDAC4 axis, which is functionally involved and important in CSC-related activities in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo, and provide an innovative targeting strategy to CSC.

However, timely monitoring of the molecular events associated with response/progression in tissue biopsies is logistically difficult. The use of liquid biopsies, such as CTC and ctDNA, in this context has been of recent interest. Patients and Methods: Individual CTC and ctDNA were obtained at different time points from patients with advanced ER POS/HER2 NEG breast cancer enrolled in a Phase I trial of AZD9496, an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) ET. The CTC, purified using tandem CellSearch®/DepArray™ technologies, were genomically profiled by DNA single cell next generation sequencing (scNGS). Plasma ctDNA was isolated from blood collected in Streck BCT tubes. Genomic profiling was performed by targeted gene panel scNGS for CTC and ddPCR for ERα gene (ESR1) mutations in ctDNA. Results: 123 high-quality CTCs from 12 patients profiled by scNGS showed 100% concordance with ctDNA in detection of driver ESR1 somatic mutations. CTC scNGS additionally revealed extensive intra-patient heterogeneity of driver alterations, that would have been unresolvable by bulk ctDNA profiling, including separate subclonal CTC populations emerging within the same patient. ScNGS revealed potential opportunities for targeted therapies in 73% of patients, directed at alterations in PIK3CA, FGFR2, KIT and BRAF, at times present as 2 or more targets in the same or different cell populations. In one patient, an emergent, distinct, BRAF p.V600E targetable alteration was detected in a subpopulation of CTCs collected at the progression time point but not at baseline. Conclusion: Serial monitoring of CTC and ctDNA genomic alterations is feasible and should enable real-time tracking of response/progression, tumor evolution and opportunities for precision medicine interventions.
