Different oncogenes and reproductive histories shape the progression of distinct premalignant clones in multistage mouse breast cancer models.
American Journal of Pathology 2024 March 26
A remote carcinogen exposure can predispose to breast cancer onset decades later, suggesting carcinogen-induced mutations generate long-lived premalignant clones. How subsequent events influence the progression of specific premalignant clones remains poorly understood. Here, we generated multistage mouse models of mammary carcinogenesis by combining chemical carcinogen exposure (using 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene, DMBA) with transgenes that enable inducible expression of one of two clinically relevant mammary oncogenes: c-MYC (MYC) or PIK3CAH1047R (PIK). In prior work, DMBA exposure generated mammary clones bearing signature HrasQ61L mutations, which only progressed to mammary cancer after inducible Wnt1 oncogene expression. Here, after an identical DMBA exposure, MYC versus PIK drove cancer progression from mammary clones bearing mutations in distinct Ras family paralogs. For example, MYC drove cancer progression from either Kras- or Nras-mutant clones, whereas PIK transformed Kras-mutant clones only. These Ras mutation patterns were maintained whether oncogenic transgenes were induced within days of DMBA exposure or months later. Completing a full-term pregnancy (parity) failed to protect against either MYC- or PIK-driven tumor progression. Instead, a postpartum increase in mammary tumor predisposition was observed in the context of PIK-driven progression. However, parity decreased the overall prevalence of tumors bearing Krasmut , and the magnitude of this decrease depended on both the number and timing of pregnancies. These multistage models may be useful for elucidating biological features of premalignant mammary neoplasia.
