Study TitleComparative analysis of breast cancer metabolomes highlights fascin's central role in regulating key pathways related to disease progression
Study SummaryOmics technologies provide useful tools for the identification of novel biomarkers in many diseases, including breast cancer, which is the most diagnosed cancer in women worldwide. We and others have reported a central role for the actin-bundling protein (fascin) in regulating breast cancer disease progression at different levels. However, whether fascin expression promotes metabolic molecules that could predict disease progression has not been fully elucidated. Here, fascin expression was manipulated via knockdown (fascinKD+NORF) and rescue (fascinKD+FORF) in the naturally fascin-positive (fascinpos+NORF) MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Whether fascin dysregulates metabolic profiles that are associated with disease progression was assessed using untargeted metabolomics analyses via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. An overall of 12,226 metabolites were detected in the tested cell pellets. Fascinpos+NORF cell pellets showed 2,510 and 3,804 significantly dysregulated metabolites compared to their fascinKD+NORF counterparts. Fascin rescue (fascinKD+FORF) revealed 2,710 significantly dysregulated cellular metabolites compared to fascinKD+NORF counterparts. 101 overlapped cellular metabolites between fascinKD+FORF and fascinpos+NORF were significantly dysregulated in the fascinKD+NORF cells. Analysis of the significantly dysregulated metabolites by fascin expression revealed their involvement in the metabolism of sphingolipid, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, and pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis, which are critical pathways for breast cancer progression. Our findings of fascin-mediated alteration of metabolic pathways could be used as putative poor prognostic biomarkers and highlight other underlying mechanisms of fascin contribution to breast cancer progression.

Collection:

Collection ID:CO003419
Collection Summary:Cell pellet metabolites were extracted after removing the media and washing the cells with chilled 1x cold PBS as previously described [20]. The plates were dipped in liquid nitrogen to quench the metabolism and reduce the experimental variations. 1 mL of cold 80% methanol: water was added to each plate for metabolites extraction, and cells were detached using a cell scraper and transferred to 1.5 ml Eppendorf tubes. The mixtures were vortexed at 4°C, 600 rpm for 1h in Thermomixer (Eppendorf, Germany). The samples were spun down at 4°C, 16000 rpm for 10 min (Eppendorf, Germany). The supernatants (secretomes) were transferred to new Eppendorf tubes. Similarly, 900 µl of extraction solvent 1:1 (v/v) acetonitrile: methanol (ACN: MeOH) was added to 100 µl of media for secretome metabolites extraction. The mixtures were vortexed in Thermomixer (Eppendorf, Germany) at 600 rpm, 4ºC for 1 h. The samples were spun down at 16000 rpm, 4ºC for 10 min (Eppendorf, Germany), and then the secretomes were transferred to new Eppendorf tubes. The cell pellets and secretome extracts were completely evaporated in a SpeedVac (Christ, Germany) and stored at -80°C until LC-MS analysis [21,22] .
Sample Type:Breast cancer cells

Treatment:

Treatment ID:TR003435
Treatment Summary:Gene knockdown and restoration MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells are naturally fascin-positive. The establishment of stable fascin knockdown (fascinKD) and control (fascinpos) in MDA-MB-231 cells using fascin and scrambled shRNA, respectively, was previously described [doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0027339]. Furthermore, the rescue of fascin expression in the fascinKD MDA-MB-231 cells using fascin ORF (fascinKD+FORF) was also previously described [doi:10.1002/ijc.32183]. For transfection control, empty ORF was used in fascinKD (fascinKD+NORF) and fascinpos (fascinpos+NORF) cells. Fascin expression or knockdown was routinely checked at the RNA and protein levels.

Chromatography ID:CH004105
Chromatography Summary:The dried extract samples were reconstituted in a 1:1 mobile phase (A: 0.1% formic acid in dH2O and B: 0.1% formic acid in (1:1) (v/v) MeOH: ACN) for an LC-MS metabolomics analysis [20]. First, 5 µL of the sample was introduced to the inlet technique, where the metabolites were separated in reversed-phase liquid chromatography using an ACQUITY UPLC XSelect (100 × 2.1 mm × 2.5 μm) column (Waters Ltd., Elstree, UK). The mobile phase flow rate was set at 300 μL/min, the column temperature maintained at 55 °C and the samples were maintained at 4 °C in the autosampler. Mobile phases A and B were pumped to the column in a gradient mode (0–16 min 95–5% A, 16–19 min 5% A, 19–20 min 5–95% A, and 20–22 min 5–95% A). The molecules eluted from the LC were positively or negatively ionized using an electrospray ionization source (ESI) and separated in the gas phase based on m/z using a Xevo G2-S QTOF mass spectrometer (Waters Ltd., Elstree, UK). The metabolites were ionized in the ESI source, where the source temperature was 150 °C, the desolvation temperature was 500 °C, and the capillary voltages were kept at 3.20 kV (ESI+) or 3 kV (ESI−). The cone voltage was 40 V. the desolvation gas flow was 800.0 L/h, and the cone gas flow was 50 L/h. The collision energies of the low and high functions were set to off and 10–50 V, respectively, in the MSE data-independent acquisition (DIA) mode. The mass spectrometer was calibrated, as recommended by the vendor, with sodium formate in the range of 100–1200 Da in both ionization modes. The lock mass compound, leucine-enkephaline (an external reference to the ion m/z 556.2771 in (ESI+) and 554.2615 (ESI−)), was injected continuously, switching between the sample and the reference every 45 and 60 s for ESI+ and ESI−, respectively, for a 0.5 s scan time, a flow rate of 10 µL/min, a cone voltage of 30 V, and a collision energy of 4 V. DIA were collected in continuum mode with a Masslynx™ V4.1 workstation (Waters Inc., Milford, MA, USA). Quality control samples (QCs) were performed by pooling 10 µL from each study sample and extracted, after that, introduced to the instrument with randomization to validate the system's stability.
