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 membrane protein, palmitoylated 6 (MAGUK p55 subfamily member 6), encoded by MPP6, was among the genes whose expression was most quantitatively different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. MPP6 mRNA was present at decreased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of MPP6 in primary tumors was correlated with patient overall survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of MPP6 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain.

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 to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that dermatopontin, encoded by DPT, 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. We observed a significant correlation between DPT expression in primary tumors of the breast and overall survival. Molecular functions of dermatopontin may be relevant to the processes by which tumor cells of the breast metastasize to the breast. Down-regulation of DPT may be an important event for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells 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 desmoglein 2, encoded by DSG2, was among the genes whose expression was most quantitatively different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. DSG2 mRNA was present at decreased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of DSG2 in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient overall survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of DSG2 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain.

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 to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the gastrin releasing peptide, encoded by GRP, 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. Molecular functions of gastrin releasing peptide may be relevant to the processes by which tumor cells of the breast metastasize to the breast. Down-regulation of GRP may be an important event for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells 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 to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that BMS1, ribosome biogenesis factor pseudogene 20, encoded by BMS1P20, 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. Molecular functions of BMS1P20 may be relevant to the processes by which tumor cells of the breast metastasize to the brain. Down-regulation of BMS1P20 may be an important event for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells 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 axin interactor, dorsalization associated, encoded by AIDA, was among the genes whose expression was most quantitatively different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. AIDA mRNA was present at decreased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of AIDA in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient post-progression survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of AIDA expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain.

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 to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the telomerase-associated protein encoded by TEP1 (6) was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with brain metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. TEP1 may be relevant to processes underlying metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells 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 to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the glycine-N-acyltransferase, encoded by GLYAT, 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. Molecular functions and down-regulation of GLYAT may be important for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells 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 to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the long intergenic non-coding RNA 1140, encoded by LINC01140, 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. Molecular functions and down-regulation of LINC01140 may be important for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells 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 a non-coding RNA transcribed from the WDR5 locus (WDR5p), a pseudogene transcript, was among the transcripts whose quantity was most significantly different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. WDR5p transcript was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Modulation of WDR5p expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
