Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most diagnosed cancers worldwide and is the second cause of cancer related death in women. The most frequent cause of BC-related deaths, like many cancers, is metastasis. However, metastasis is a complicated and poorly understood process for which there is a shortage of accurate prognostic indicators and effective treatments. With the rapid and ever-evolving development and application of genomic sequencing technologies, many novel molecules were identified that play previously unappreciated and important roles in the various stages of metastasis. In this review, we summarize current advancements in the functional genomic analysis of BC metastasis and discuss about the potential prognostic and therapeutic implications from the recent genomic findings.

We previously identified a locus at 21q22.3, tagged by the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs35418111, being associated with breast cancer risk at a genome-wide significance level; however, the underlying causal functional variants and gene(s) responsible for this association are unknown. We performed functional genomic analyses to identify potential functional variants and target genes that may mediate this association. Functional annotation for SNPs in high linkage disequilibrium (LD, r2 > 0.8) with rs35418111 in Asians showed evidence of promoter and/or enhancer activities, including rs35418111, rs2078203, rs8134832, rs57385578, and rs8126917. These five variants were assessed for interactions with nuclear proteins by electrophoretic mobility shift assays. Our results showed that the risk alleles for rs2078203 and rs35418111 altered DNA-protein interaction patterns. Cis-expression quantitative loci (cis-eQTL) analysis, using data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression database (GTEx) European-ancestry female normal breast tissue, indicated that the risk allele of rs35418111 was associated with a decreased expression of the YBEY gene, a relatively uncharacterized endoribonuclease in humans. We investigated the biological effects of YBEY on breast cancer cell lines by transient knock-down of YBEY expression in MCF-7, T47D, and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. Knockdown of YBEY mRNA in breast cancer cell lines consistently decreased cell proliferation, colony formation, and migration/invasion, regardless of estrogen receptor status. We performed RNA sequencing in MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with siRNA targeting YBEY and subsequent gene set enrichment analysis to identify gene networks associated with YBEY knockdown. These data indicated YBEY was involved in networks associated with inflammation and metabolism. Finally, we showed trends in YBEY expression patterns in breast tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA); early-stage breast cancers had elevated YBEY expression compared with normal tissue, but significantly decreased expression in late-stage disease. Our study provides evidence of a significant role for the human YBEY gene in breast cancer pathogenesis and the association between the rs35418111/21q22.3 locus and breast cancer risk, which may be mediated through functional SNPs, rs35418111 and rs2078203, that regulate expression of YBEY.
