The globo-series glycosphingolipids (GSLs) SSEA3, SSEA4, and Globo-H specifically expressed on cancer cells are found to correlate with tumor progression and metastasis, but the functional roles of these GSLs and the key enzyme β1,3-galactosyltransferase V (β3GalT5) that converts Gb4 to SSEA3 remain largely unclear. Here we show that the expression of β3GalT5 significantly correlates with tumor progression and poor survival in patients, and the globo-series GSLs in breast cancer cells form a complex in membrane lipid raft with caveolin-1 (CAV1) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) which then interact with AKT and receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIP), respectively. Knockdown of β3GalT5 disrupts the complex and induces apoptosis through dissociation of RIP from the complex to interact with the Fas death domain (FADD) and trigger the Fas-dependent pathway. This finding provides a link between SSEA3/SSEA4/Globo-H and the FAK/CAV1/AKT/RIP complex in tumor progression and apoptosis and suggests a direction for the treatment of breast cancer, as demonstrated by the combined use of antibodies against Globo-H and SSEA4.

Breast cancer is still threatening many people’ lives, hence novel targeted therapies are urgently required to improve the poor outcome of breast cancer patients. Herein, our study aimed to explore the potential of nanoparticles (NPs)-loaded with VEGF inhibitors and MED1 siRNA for treatment of the disorder. PEG and MTC conjugates were synthesized by ion gelation, and equipped with VEGF inhibitor (siV) and MED1 (siD) siRNA (MT/PC/siV-D NPs). The size and morphology of the NPs were detected by TEM. Agarose gel experiment was performed to detect drug encapsulation rate and NPs stability. Zeta potential was assessed by immunofluorescence assay and cell uptake was detected by fluorescence analysis. After cancer cells were treated with NPs or PBS, cell proliferation and invasion were evaluated with VEGF and MED1 expression was detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR analyses. Animal model was conducted to confirm the role of NPs in tumor growth. Results showed that, the MT/PC/siV-D NPs exhibited great stability, drug encapsulation and internalization ability. The combined NPs caused decreased proliferation and invasion of tumor cells, inducing M2 macrophages to re-polarize to M1 type with declined expression of VEGF and MED1. Moreover, the NPs remarkably alleviated breast tumor progression. The multifunctional NPs equipped with EGF inhibitors and MED1 siRNA can inhibit tumor progression by targeting TAMs and cancer cells during breast cancer.

The discovery of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are responsible for self-renewal and tumor growth in heterogeneous cancer tissues, has stimulated interests in developing new cancer therapies and early diagnosis. However, the markers currently used for isolation of CSCs are often not selective enough to enrich CSCs for the study of this special cell population. Here we show that the breast CSCs isolated with CD44+CD24-/loSSEA-3+ or ESAhiPROCRhiSSEA-3+ markers had higher tumorigenicity than those with conventional markers in vitro and in vivo. As few as 10 cells with CD44+CD24-/loSSEA-3+ formed tumor in mice, compared with more than 100 cells with CD44+CD24-/lo. Suppression of SSEA-3 expression by knockdown of the gene encoding β-1,3-galactosyltransferase 5 (β3GalT5) in the globo-series pathway, led to apoptosis in cancer cells specifically but had no effect on normal cells. This finding is further supported by the analysis of SSEA-3 and the two related globo-series epitopes SSEA4 and globo-H in stem cells (embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells) and various normal and cancer cells, and by the antibody approach to target the globo-series glycans and the late-stage clinical trials of a breast cancer vaccine.

Abstract Periodontal diseases can lead to chronic inflammation affecting the integrity of the tooth supporting tissues. Recently, a striking association has been made between periodontal diseases and primary cancers in the absence of a mechanistic understanding. Here we address the effect of periodontal inflammation (PI) on tumor progression, metastasis, and possible underlining mechanisms. We show that an experimental model of PI in mice can promote lymph node (LN) micrometastasis, as well as head and neck metastasis of 4T1 breast cancer cells, both in early and late stages of cancer progression. The cervical LNs had a greater tumor burden and infiltration of MDSC and M2 macrophages compared with LNs at other sites. Pyroptosis and the resultant IL-1β production were detected in patients with PI, mirrored in mouse models. Anakinra, IL-1 receptor antagonist, limited metastasis, and MDSC recruitment at early stages of tumor progression, but failed to reverse established metastatic tumors. PI and the resulting production of IL-1β was found to promote CCL5, CXCL12, CCL2, and CXCL5 expression. These chemokines recruit MDSC and macrophages, finally enabling the generation of a premetastatic niche in the inflammatory site. These findings support the idea that periodontal inflammation promotes metastasis of breast cancer by recruiting MDSC in part by pyroptosis-induced IL-1β generation and downstream CCL2, CCL5, and CXCL5 signaling in the early steps of metastasis. These studies define the role for IL-1β in the metastatic progression of breast cancer and highlight the need to control PI, a pervasive inflammatory condition in older patients.
