HER2 is a driver oncogene overexpressed in the majority of premalignant breast tumors known as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Due to their stemness features, breast cancer stem cells (BCSC) are considered the main drivers of breast tumor initiation and progression. Here, we used clinical samples and mouse models of HER2+ breast tumorigenesis to demonstrate that neither BCSCs nor their cell-of-origin express HER2/Neu in early-stage breast tumors. Instead, our results demonstrate that Neu overexpression results in the transformation of BCSCs in a non-cell autonomous manner via triggering DNA damage and somatic mutagenesis in their Neu-negative cell-of-origin. This is caused by the increased oxidative stress in the tissue microenvironment generated by altered energy metabolism and increased reactive oxygen species level in Neu-overexpressing mammary ducts. Therefore, our findings illustrate a previously unrecognized mechanism of HER2-induced breast tumor initiation, which may have an impact on future preventive treatments for patients with HER2+ DCIS.","INSTITUTE":"The University of Manchester","DEPARTMENT":"Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health","LABORATORY":"Ahmet Ucar Lab","LAST_NAME":"Ou","FIRST_NAME":"Yaqing","ADDRESS":"Oxford Road, Manchester, Great Manchester, M13 9PL, United Kingdom","EMAIL":"yaqing.ou@manchester.ac.uk","PHONE":"07579759914","CONTRIBUTORS":"Sevim B.
