  • Breast density is strongly associated with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging biomarkers and pro-tumorigenic proteins in situ
  • 2022

    • Background High mammographic density is an independent risk factor for breast cancer by poorly understood molecular mechanisms. Women with dense breasts often undergo conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) despite its limited specificity, which may be increased by diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and contrast. How these modalities are affected by breast density per se and their association with the local microenvironment are undetermined. Methods Healthy postmenopausal women attending mammography screen with extremely dense or entirely fatty breasts underwent multiparametric MRI for analyses of lean tissue fraction (LTF), ADC and perfusion dynamics. Microdialysis was used for extracellular proteomics in situ. Results Significantly increased LTF and ADC and delayed perfusion were detected in dense breasts. In total, 270 proteins were quantified, whereof 124 related to inflammation, angiogenesis, and cellular growth were significantly upregulated in dense breasts. Most of these correlated significantly with LTF, ADC and the perfusion data. Conclusions ADC and perfusion characteristics depend on breast density, which should be considered during the implementation of thresholds for malignant lesions. Dense and nondense breasts are two essentially different biological entities, with a pro-tumorigenic microenvironment in dense breasts. Our data reveal several novel pathways that may be explored for breast cancer prevention strategies.

  • Low-dose acetylsalicylic acid reduces local inflammation and tissue perfusion in dense breast tissue in postmenopausal women
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: Breast Cancer Research. - : BMC. - 1465-5411 .- 1465-542X. ; 26:1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Purpose One major risk factor for breast cancer is high mammographic density. It has been estimated that dense breast tissue contributes to similar to 30% of all breast cancer. Prevention targeting dense breast tissue has the potential to improve breast cancer mortality and morbidity. Anti-estrogens, which may be associated with severe side-effects, can be used for prevention of breast cancer in women with high risk of the disease per se. However, no preventive therapy targeting dense breasts is currently available. Inflammation is a hallmark of cancer. Although the biological mechanisms involved in the increased risk of cancer in dense breasts is not yet fully understood, high mammographic density has been associated with increased inflammation. We investigated whether low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) affects local breast tissue inflammation and/or structural and dynamic changes in dense breasts. Methods Postmenopausal women with mammographic dense breasts on their regular mammography screen were identified. A total of 53 women were randomized to receive ASA 160 mg/day or no treatment for 6 months. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed before and after 6 months for a sophisticated and continuous measure breast density by calculating lean tissue fraction (LTF). Additionally, dynamic quantifications including tissue perfusion were performed. Microdialysis for sampling of proteins in vivo from breasts and abdominal subcutaneous fat, as a measure of systemic effects, before and after 6 months were performed. A panel of 92 inflammatory proteins were quantified in the microdialysates using proximity extension assay. Results After correction for false discovery rate, 20 of the 92 inflammatory proteins were significantly decreased in breast tissue after ASA treatment, whereas no systemic effects were detected. In the no-treatment group, protein levels were unaffected. Breast density, measured by LTF on MRI, were unaffected in both groups. ASA significantly decreased the perfusion rate. The perfusion rate correlated positively with local breast tissue concentration of VEGF. Conclusions ASA may shape the local breast tissue microenvironment into an anti-tumorigenic state. Trials investigating the effects of low-dose ASA and risk of primary breast cancer among postmenopausal women with maintained high mammographic density are warranted.hic density are warranted.

  • Platelet Activation In Situ in Breasts at High Risk of Cancer : Relationship with Mammographic Density and Estradiol
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. - : ENDOCRINE SOC. - 0021-972X .- 1945-7197. ; 106:2, s. 485-500
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Context: High mammographic density in postmenopausal women is an independent risk factor for breast cancer by undetermined mechanisms. No preventive therapy for this risk group is available. Activated platelets release growth factors that modulate the microenvironment into a protumorigenic state. Estrogens may affect the risk of breast cancer and platelet function. Whether platelets are activated in situ in breast cancer or in normal breast tissue at high risk of breast cancer and the association to estradiol remains elusive. Objective: To investigate whether platelets are activated in situ in breast cancers and in dense breast tissue of postmenopausal women and explore correlations between estradiol, released platelet factors, and inflammatory proteins. Setting and design: Sampling of in vivo proteins was performed using microdialysis in a total of 71 women: 10 with breast cancer, 42 healthy postmenopausal women with different breast densities, and 19 premenopausal women. Results: Our data demonstrate increased levels of coagulation factors in dense breast tissue similar to that found in breast cancers, indicating excessive platelet activation. Premenopausal breasts exhibited similar levels of coagulation factors as postmenopausal dense breasts. Out of 13 coagulations factors that were upregulated in dense breasts, 5 exhibited significant correlations with estradiol, both locally in the breast and systemically. In breast tissue, positive correlations between coagulation factors and key inflammatory proteins and matrix metalloproteinases were detected. Conclusions: Breast density, not estradiol, is the major determinant of local platelet activation. Inactivation of platelets may be a therapeutic strategy for cancer prevention in postmenopausal women with dense breasts.

  • Fulvestrant inhibits growth of triple negative breast cancer and synergizes with tamoxifen in ER alpha positive breast cancer by up-regulation of ER beta
  • 2016

    • The estrogen receptor-alpha (ER alpha) is used as a predictive marker for antiestrogen therapy in breast cancer patients. In addition to aromatase inhibitors, ER alpha can be targeted at the receptor level using the receptor modulator tamoxifen or by the pure anti-estrogen fulvestrant. The role of the second ER, ER-beta (ER beta), as a therapeutic target or prognostic marker in breast cancer is still elusive. Hitherto, it is not known if ER alpha+/ER beta+ breast cancers would benefit from a treatment strategy combining tamoxifen and fulvestrant or if fulvestrant exert any therapeutic effects in ER alpha-/ER beta+ breast cancer. Here, we report that fulvestrant up-regulated ER beta in ER alpha+/ER beta+ breast cancer and in triple negative ER beta+ breast cancers (ER alpha-/ER beta+). In ER alpha+/ER beta+ breast cancer, a combination therapy of tamoxifen and fulvestrant significantly reduced tumor growth compared to either treatment alone both in vivo and in vitro. In ER alpha-/ER beta+ breast cancer fulvestrant had potent effects on cancer growth, in vivo as well as in vitro, and this effect was dependent on intrinsically expressed levels of ER beta. The role of ER beta was further confirmed in cells where ER beta was knocked-in or knocked-down. Inhibition of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) increased the levels of ER beta and fulvestrant exerted similar potency on DNMT activity as the DNMT inhibitor decitabine. We conclude that fulvestrant may have therapeutic potential in additional groups of breast cancer patients; i) in ER alpha+/ER beta+ breast cancer where fulvestrant synergizes with tamoxifen and ii) in triple negative/ER beta+ breast cancer patients, a subgroup of breast cancer patients with poor prognosis.

  • Adipokines and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Normal Human Breast Tissue in Vivo - Correlations and Attenuation by Dietary Flaxseed
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Journal of mammary gland biology and neoplasia. - : SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS. - 1083-3021 .- 1573-7039. ; 21:1-2, s. 69-76

    • Exposure to sex steroids increases the risk of breast cancer but the exact mechanisms are yet to be elucidated. Events in the microenvironment are important for carcinogenesis. Diet containing phytoestrogens can affect the breast microenvironment and alter the risk of breast cancer. It has previously been shown that estrogen regulates extracellular levels of leptin, adiponectin, and VEGF in normal breast tissue in vivo. Whether these proteins correlate in breast tissue in vivo or if diet addition of flaxseed, a major source of phytoestrogens in Western diets, alters adipokine levels in breast tissue are unknown. We used microdialysis to sample proteins of normal human breast tissue and abdominal subcutaneous fat in situ in 34 pre-and postmenopausal women. In vitro, co-culture of breast cancer cells and primary human adipocytes was used. In vivo, in normal breast tissue, a significant positive correlation between VEGF and leptin was detected. No correlations were found in fat tissue. Co-culture of adipocytes and breast cancer cells per se increased the secretion of VEGF and leptin and enhanced the effects of estradiol compared to culture of either cell type alone. In vitro, inhibition of VEGF diminished the release of leptin while inhibition of leptin had no influence on VEGF secretion. The levels of leptin decreased and adiponectin increased after a dietary addition of 25 g of flaxseed/day for one menstrual cycle. We conclude that VEGF and leptin correlate significantly in normal human breast tissue in vivo and that dietary addition of flaxseed affect adipokine levels in the breast.

    • Introduction: Events in the microenvironment are important for carcinogenesis of the breast. Adipocytes, which produce adipokines with paracrine effects, are the most abundant cell type in breast tissue. Exposure to sex steroids affects the risk of breast cancer. It has previously been shown that estrogen regulates the extracellular levels of leptin, adiponectin, IL-1β, and VEGF in normal human breast tissue in vivo.Objective: We aimed to determine if there were any relationships between leptin, adiponectin, IL-1β, and/or VEGF in normal human breast tissue in vivo and to elucidate the role of adipocytes in the regulation of these factors.Design and methods: Microdialysis was used to sample proteins of normal human breast tissue and abdominal subcutaneous (s.c.) fat in situ in pre-and postmenopausal women. An in vitro co-culture model of breast cancer cells and primary mature human adipocytes was used.Results: In vivo, in normal breast tissue, significant positive correlations between VEGF and leptin, and VEGF and leptin/adiponectin ratio were detected. No correlations were found in s.c. abdominal fat tissue. Co-culture of adipocytes and breast cancer cells per se increased the secretion of VEGF and leptin and enhanced the effects of estradiol compared to culture of either cell type alone. In vitro, inhibition of VEGF diminished the release of leptin while inhibition of leptin had no influence on VEGF secretion. In breast tissue, significant correlations between IL-1β and leptin and VEGF were revealed.Conclusions: Our results suggest that VEGF regulates leptin in normal human breast tissue. Moreover, physical contact between adipocytes and breast cancer cells, induces phenotypic changes and enhances the effects of estradiol. These mechanisms may be involved in breast cancer progression.

  • Estradiol Affects Extracellular Leptin: Adiponectin Ratio in Human Breast Tissue in Vivo
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. - : Endocrine Society. - 0021-972X .- 1945-7197. ; 99:9, s. 3460-3467

    • Context: Exposure to sex steroids is associated with increased breast cancer risk, and adipokines, leptin and adiponectin have been implicated in cancer progression. However, it is not known whether sex steroids affect adipokine secretion in breast tissue. Objective: To elucidate the role of estrogen and tamoxifen on adipokine release in normal human breast tissue and breast cancer. Setting and Design: Microdialysis sampling was used to collect extracellular in vivo leptin and adiponectin from normal human breast tissue in premenopausal healthy volunteers during the menstrual cycle and in postmenopausal women before tamoxifen treatment and after 6 weeks of treatment. In women with breast cancer, microdialysis was performed intratumorally before surgery. In addition, whole normal breast tissue biopsies were cultured ex vivo, and murine breast cancer models were evaluated. Results: In normal breast tissue, plasma estradiol negatively correlated with local extracellular adiponectin levels (r = -0.34; P less than .05) and positively correlated with leptin (r = 0.37; P less than .05) and leptin: adiponectin ratio (r = 0.38; P less than .05). In postmenopausal women, tamoxifen treatment increased adiponectin (P less than 0.05) and decreased leptin (P less than .01) and the leptin: adiponectin ratio (P less than .01). These in vivo results were confirmed in breast tissue biopsies cultured ex vivo. In patients with breast cancer, extracellular leptin was higher (P less than .01) and adiponectin lower (P less than .05) in tumors than in normal adjacent breast tissue. In a murine model of breast cancer, estrogen exposure increased leptin secretion (P less than .05). Conclusions: Estrogen exposure may have a critical role in the regulation of adipokines in human breast tissue and may serve as therapeutic targets for treatment and prevention.

  • Hormonal regulation of immune modulators in human breast tissue
  • 2015
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer and the second leading cause of malignancy-associated death in women worldwide. Estrogens are the main sex hormones in women. They are essential for the development and function of normal breast mammary glands; however, prolonged exposure to estrogens increases the risk of breast cancer development and progression. Approximately two-thirds of all breast cancer patients are positive for estrogen receptor (ER), but only 50% of those cases can benefit from antiestrogen therapy.In this thesis we investigated the effects of estrogen, diet modification, and anti-estrogen drugs on several immune modulators in normal human breast tissue. We used the microdialysis technique to sample the immune modulators in situ in normal human breast tissue, in malignant breast tissue, and in tumor tissue from both the immune competent mice with murine breast cancer and immune deficient mice bearing human breast tumors. Furthermore, we also used ex vivo culture of normal breast tissue and in vitro cell culture of breast cancer cell lines. A combined cell culture (co-culture) of breast cancer cell lines, together with the primary mature adipocytes, was also used in this thesis.In Paper I and Paper II, our results suggested that estrogen exerted both proinflammatory and pro-tumorigenic effects in normal human breast tissue. Estradiol increased extracellular interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and leptin levels and decreased IL-1Ra and adiponectin levels in normal human breast tissue. In contrast, tamoxifen decreased IL-1β and leptin levels and increased IL-1Ra and adiponectin levels, shifting the environment towards an antiinflammatory and antitumorigenic state. Diet modification with flaxseed for 30 days also increased IL-1Ra levels, creating an anti-inflammatory environment in normal breast tissue. In the breast cancer tissue, we found that extracellular IL-1β levels and leptin levels were significantly higher, whereas adiponectin levels were significantly lower, compared with normal adjacent breast tissue, which suggested a more proinflammatory state.In the third paper, our in vivo investigation of normal breast tissue revealed significant correlations between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and leptin, IL-1β and leptin, and between VEGF and IL-1β. No correlations were found in the abdominal subcutaneous (s.c.) fat tissue. Our in vitro inhibition experiments suggested that VEGF was a potent regulator of leptin, but that leptin was not a potent regulator of VEGF. Co-culture per se altered the release of VEGF and leptin and enhanced the effects of estradiol, compared with monocultures of the included cell types.In conclusion, the results presented in this thesis will increase the overall understanding of the role of estrogens in breast cancer, which may be useful in future treatment studies.

  • Angiogenin Regulation by Estradiol in Breast Tissue: Tamoxifen Inhibits Angiogenin Nuclear Translocation and Antiangiogenin Therapy Reduces Breast Cancer Growth In vivo
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Clinical Cancer Research. - : American Association for Cancer Research, Inc.. - 1078-0432 .- 1557-3265. ; 16:14, s. 3659-3669

    • Purpose: Angiogenin, a 14.2-kDa polypeptide member of the RNase A superfamily, has potent angiogenic effects. Nuclear accumulation of angiogenin is essential for its angiogenic activity. Increased angiogenin expression has been associated with the transition of normal breast tissue into invasive breast carcinoma. In this article, we investigated whether estradiol (E-2) affected angiogenin in breast tissue. Experimental Design: We used microdialysis for sampling of extracellular angiogenin in vivo. In vitro cultures of whole normal breast tissue, breast cancer cells, and endothelial cells were used. Results: We show that extracellular angiogenin correlated significantly with E-2 in normal human breast tissue in vivo and that exposure of normal breast tissue biopsies to E-2 stimulated angiogenin secretion. In breast cancer patients, the in vivo angiogenin levels were significantly higher in tumors compared with the adjacent normal breast tissue. In estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells, E-2 increased and tamoxifen decreased angiogenin secretion. Moreover, E-2-induced angiogenin derived from cancer cells significantly increased endothelial cell proliferation. Tamoxifen reversed this increase as well as inhibited nuclear translocation of angiogenin. In vivo, in experimental breast cancer, tamoxifen decreased angiogenin levels and decreased angiogenesis. Additionally, treating tumor-bearing mice with an antiangiogenin antibody resulted in tumor stasis, suggesting a role for angiogenin in estrogen-dependent breast cancer growth. Conclusion: Our results suggest previously unknown mechanisms by which estrogen and antiestrogen regulate angiogenesis in normal human breast tissue and breast cancer. This may be important for estrogen-driven breast cancer progression and a molecular target for therapeutic interventions.
