英文摘要
Project Summary/Abstract
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women and leads to about 40,000 metastatic related deaths
annually in the United States. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) shed from the primary tumor into the circulatory
system. These CTCs are then displaced in distant organs where metastatic tumors eventually arise. Distinctive
breast cancer CTCs are assumed to result from discrete patterns of mutated cancer genes. Nonetheless, the
contribution of epigenetic changes to the development of individual CTC characteristics is unknown. DNA
methylation at cytosines in CpG dinucleotides is critical in programming gene expression and its disruption is a
typical hallmark of cancer. Vertebrate CpG islands are short spreads of DNA sequences that differ from the
typical genomic pattern by being GC-rich and predominantly unmethylated. In cancer cells, some CpG islands
become strongly methylated, which results in repression of gene transcription. Additionally, partially methylated
domains (PMDs) are found in gene poor regions which correspond to lamina-attachment domains. PMDs are
thought to be linked to gene expression, but not enough is known about why their corresponding domains exist
or about their single cell composition. Methylomes have also been linked to enhancers that control a cohort of
gene expression. Our lab has established several patient-derived CTC lines, allowing me to analyze the
methylomes in CTCs for the first time. By studying the methylomes of CTCs using whole genome bisulfite
sequencing (WGBS), I hope to understand if methylation patterns in CTCs are heterogeneous and how this
variation contributes to metastasis. Findings from WGBS analysis have demonstrated that the CTC lines Brx50
and Brx61 appear to be less methylated when compared to the CTC lines Brx07 and Brx68. Intriguingly, Brx07
and Brx68 are more metastatic when compared to Brx50 and Brx61. These specific areas that vary between the
CTCs’ methylomes could be potential areas of interest for metastasis.
