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 open reading frame 60 on chromosome 17, encoded by C17orf60, was among the genes whose expression was most quantitatively different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. C17orf60 mRNA was present at decreased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of C17orf60 in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient post-progression survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of C17orf60 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 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. Modulation of ARPC1B 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 the alpha 3 subunit of laminin 5, encoded by LAMA3, was among the genes whose expression was most quantitatively different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. LAMA3 mRNA was present at decreased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast.

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.
