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 peptidase inhibitor PI16, encoded by PI16, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastatic tumor tissues of patients with metastatic breast cancer. PI16 messenger RNA was present in significantly decreased quantities in metastasis to the brain when compared to normal breast tissues. PI16 was also differentially expressed in primary tumors of the breast when compared to normal breast tissues. Down-regulation of PI16 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 Sec61 translocon alpha 2 subunit encoded by SEC61A2 was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastatic tumor tissues of patients with metastatic breast cancer. SEC61A2 messenger RNA was present at significantly increased quantities in metastasis to the brain when compared to normal breast tissues. SEC61A2 was also differentially expressed in primary tumors of the breast when compared to normal breast tissues. Up-regulation of SEC61A2 may be important for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer, and these data suggest that a specific function of the Sec61 translocon may be important for central nervous system metastasis, or that the biosynthesis and transport of integral membrane and secreted proteins more broadly is in higher demand during this process.

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 fibroblast growth factor 12, encoded by FGF12, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to normal breast tissues. FGF12 mRNA expression was significantly higher in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Up-regulation of FGF12 expression may contribute to metastasis of tumor cells 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 to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the complement component 1, r subcomponent, encoded by C1R, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to normal breast tissues. C1R mRNA was present at significantly reduced quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Down-regulation of C1R expression may contribute to metastasis of tumor cells 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 to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that histone cluster 1, H2be, encoded by HIST1H2BE, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to normal breast tissues and primary tumors of the breast. HIST1H2BE mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast and to normal breast tissues. Up-regulation of HIST1H2BE 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 to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that histone cluster 1, H3b (H3.1), encoded by HIST1H3B, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to normal breast tissues and primary tumors of the breast. HIST1H3B mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast and to normal breast tissues. Up-regulation of HIST1H3B 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 to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that that an uncharacterized locus, CTC-338M12.4 (LOC101928649), 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. CTC-338M12.4 was also differentially expressed in primary tumors of the breast when compared to normal breast tissue. CTC-338M12.4 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in brain metastases as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Molecular functions and up-regulation of CTC-338M12.4 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 SIX homeobox 1, encoded by SIX1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to normal breast tissues. SIX1 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Up-regulation of SIX1 expression may contribute to metastasis of tumor cells from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
