AbstractMalignant cells leave their initial tumor of growth and disperse to other tissues to form metastases. Dispersals also occur in nature when individuals in a population migrate from their area of origin to colonize other habitats. In cancer, phylogenetic biogeography is concerned with the source and trajectory of cell movements. We examine the suitability of primary features of organismal biogeography, including genetic diversification, dispersal, extinction, vicariance, and founder effects, to describe and reconstruct clone migration events among tumors. We used computer-simulated data to compare fits of seven biogeographic models and evaluate models’ performance in clone migration reconstruction. Models considering founder effects and dispersals were often better fit for the clone phylogenetic patterns, especially for polyclonal seeding and reseeding of metastases. However, simpler biogeographic models produced more accurate estimates of cell migration histories. Analyses of empirical datasets of basal-like breast cancer had model fits consistent with the patterns seen in the analysis of computer-simulated datasets. Our analyses reveal the powers and pitfalls of biogeographic models for modeling and inferring clone migration histories using tumor genome variation data. We conclude that the principles of molecular evolution and organismal biogeography are useful in these endeavors but that the available models and methods need to be applied judiciously.

Abstract Background Breast cancer subtypes are statistically associated with prognosis. The search for markers of breast tumor heterogeneity and the development of precision medicine for patients are the current focuses of the field. Methods We used a bioinformatic approach to identify key disease-causing genes unique to the luminal A and basal-like subtypes of breast cancer. First, we retrieved gene expression data for luminal A breast cancer, basal-like breast cancer, and normal breast tissue samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. The differentially expressed genes unique to the 2 breast cancer subtypes were identified and subjected to Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses. We constructed protein–protein interaction networks of the differentially expressed genes. Finally, we analyzed the key modules of the networks, which we combined with survival data to identify the unique cancer genes associated with each breast cancer subtype. Results We identified 1,114 differentially expressed genes in luminal A breast cancer and 1,042 differentially expressed genes in basal-like breast cancer, of which the subtypes shared 500. We observed 614 and 542 differentially expressed genes unique to luminal A and basal-like breast cancer, respectively. Through enrichment analyses, protein–protein interaction network analysis, and module mining, we identified 8 key differentially expressed genes unique to each subtype. Analysis of the gene expression data in the context of the survival data revealed that high expression of NMUR1 and NCAM1 in luminal A breast cancer statistically correlated with poor prognosis, whereas the low expression levels of CDC7 , KIF18A , STIL , and CKS2 in basal-like breast cancer statistically correlated with poor prognosis. Conclusions NMUR1 and NCAM1 are novel key disease-causing genes for luminal A breast cancer, and STIL is a novel key disease-causing gene for basal-like breast cancer. These genes are potential targets for clinical treatment.
