Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). Between the breast and the brain reside the secondary lymphoid organ, the lymph nodes. We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with lymph node metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that Fc receptor-like A, encoded by FCRLA, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. FCRLA mRNA was present at increased quantities in lymph node metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of FCRLA in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient overall survival in lymph node negative patients. Modulation of FCRLA expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the lymph node in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that transcription termination factor 1, encoded by TTF1, was among the genes whose expression was most quantitatively different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. TTF1 mRNA was present at decreased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of TTF1 in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient distant metastasis-free survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of TTF1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain. These data are one piece of evidence suggesting a common ancestor or tumor clone for brain and lymph node metastases that originate from the primary tumor, alluding to patterns in developmental origin and migratory pathways through the lymph node in human brain metastatic breast cancer.

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that nuclear import receptor transportin 3, also known as transportin-SR2 or importin 12, encoded by TNPO3, was among the genes whose expression was most quantitatively different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. TNPO3 mRNA was present at decreased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of TNPO3 in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient recurrence-free survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of TNPO3 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain. These data are one piece of evidence suggesting a common ancestor or tumor clone for brain and lymph node metastases that originate from the primary tumor, alluding to patterns in developmental origin and migratory pathways through the lymph node in human brain metastatic breast cancer.

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that actin-related protein 2/3 complex subunit 1B, encoded by ARPC1B, was among the genes whose expression was most quantitatively different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. ARPC1B mRNA was present at decreased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of ARPC1B in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient overall survival in patients with breast cancer.

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that Rab11 family-interacting protein 4, encoded by RAB11FIP4, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. RAB11FIP4 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of RAB11FIP4 in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient recurrence-free survival and distant metastasis-free survival. Modulation of RAB11FIP4 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the target of myb1-like 2, encoded by TOM1L2, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain and lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. TOM1L2 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of TOM1L2 in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient overall survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of TOM1L2 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain while evading immune clearance in the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
