The resistance to interferons (IFNs) limits their anticancer therapeutic efficacy. Here we studied the antiproliferative effect of interferon gamma in relation to SOCS3 expression in a panel of breast cancer cell lines and normal mammary epithelial cells. Compared to normal cells most breast cancer lines (7/8) were highly resistant to IFN-gamma. Using Northern blot and real time RT-PCR we investigated transcription of SOCS3 genes. All normal epithelial cells (4/4) showed SOCS3 induction (2-14 fold) while most breast cancer lines did not or weakly activated SOCS3 after the interferon gamma treatment. Among the cancer lines, the MDA-MB-468 cells showed increased sensitivity to IFN-gamma and relatively high level of SOCS3 induction (2-3 fold). Together, there was a good correlation

BACKGROUND: Breast carcinomas represent a heterogeneous group of tumors diverse in behavior, outcome, and response to therapy. Identification of proteins resembling the tumor biology can improve the diagnosis, prediction, treatment selection, and targeting of therapy. Since the beginning of the post-genomic era, the focus of molecular biology gradually moved from genomes to proteins and proteomes and to their functionality. Proteomics can potentially capture dynamic changes in protein expression integrating both genetic and epigenetic influences. METHODS: We prepared primary cultures of epithelial cells from 23 breast cancer tissue samples and performed comparative proteomic analysis. Seven patients developed distant metastases within three-year follow-up. These samples were included into a metastase-positive group, the others formed a metastase-negative group. Two-dimensional electrophoretical (2-DE) gels in pH range 4-7 were prepared. Spot densities in 2-DE protein maps were subjected to statistical analyses (R/maanova package) and data-mining analysis (GUHA). For identification of proteins in selected spots, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was employed. RESULTS: Three protein spots were significantly altered between the metastatic and non-metastatic groups. The correlations were proven at the 0.05 significance level. Nucleophosmin was increased in the group with metastases. The levels of 2,3-trans-enoyl-CoA isomerase and glutathione peroxidase 1 were decreased. CONCLUSION: We have performed an extensive proteomic study of mammary epithelial cells from breast cancer patients. We have found differentially expressed proteins between the samples from metastase-positive and metastase-negative patient groups.

Determination of chemosensitivity/chemoresistance is becoming increasingly important for individualization of breast cancer chemotherapy. We developed a simple non-destructive test of cellular activity (NTCA) for assessment of the cytopathic effect of antitumour drugs in vitro. Contrary to routinely used methods (e.g. MTT), besides the comparative evaluation of metabolic activity using pH (given by the medium colour), the NTCA enables the simultaneous assessment of proliferation and morphology of cultured cells (phase-contrast microscopy) at any time during the incubation with cytostatics. Moreover, the regenerative potential of the cells can be examined by cell recovery and growth after drug removal. We provide evidence for the relevance of NTCA in chemosensitivity testing of primary breast cancer cells and breast cancer cell lines for cisplatin, gemcitabine and tamoxifen. NTCA represents a simple addition to the chemosensitivity assessment and could also serve for rapid screening of new antitumour strategies.

We performed a 2-DE analysis of proteins of the newly established spontaneously immortalized clonal cell line EM-G3 derived from a primary lesion of infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma. EM-G3 cells may represent progenitors of the mammary epithelial cells spontaneously immortalized in early phase of cancerogenesis. We compared the protein profile of EM-G3 line with proteins from populations of normal mammary epithelial cells (NME), and determined the phenotype of both types of cells. NME cells are a mixture of both main cell types in breast epithelia, myoepithelial and luminal cells. The EM-G3 breast cancer cell line has a unique basal-like phenotype. We identified proteins that are differently expressed in these cells. Cytokeratin 16, cytokeratin 19, squamous cell carcinoma antigen 1, caphepsin B and caspase 14 were predominantly expressed by NME cells. Cytokeratin 13, isoelectric variant of annexin 5, isoelectric variant of chloride intracellular channel protein 1, glyoxalase 1 and glutamine synthetase were predominantly expressed by EM-G3 cells. The proteins up-regulated in EM-G3 cells may represent potential protein markers of mammary epithelial cells progenitors and may be important in early phase of carcinogenesis.
