Bevacizumab (Avastin) is an approved treatment option by the European Medicines Agency (1) for more than a quarter billion women in the European Union, and despite having its indication withdrawn by the Food and Drug Administration in 2011 is still utilized in clinical trials in the United States (2, 3). We mined published microarray data (4) from the PROMIX trial to understand in an unbiased fashion genes most transcriptionally perturbed by bevacizumab administration and how this interacted with a standard anthracycline and taxane chemotherapeutic regimen, epirubicin and docetaxel. We report here the differential and increased expression of the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor, a gateway to a signaling pathway required for the pluripotency of embryonic stem cells (5, 6), in the primary tumors of women treated with bevacizumab for breast cancer.

We report here the striking induction of four separate KLF transcription factors in the primary tumors of women treated with bevacizumab: KLF2, KLF4, KLF6 and KLF9, two of which have established roles in the generation or maintenance of ground state pluripotency in embryonic stem cells (5, 6).

We integrated these findings with analysis of a separate microarray dataset studying transcriptional changes globally in the tumors of patients with bladder cancer following treatment with a regimen including bevacizumab (5). We report here the differential and increased expression of the TCDD inducible poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, TIPARP, in the primary tumors of women treated with bevacizumab for breast cancer.

We report here the differential and increased expression of the thyrotroph embryonic factor, HLF, in the primary tumors of women treated with bevacizumab for breast cancer. We have recently described the differential expression and up-regulation of TEF in the tumors of breast cancer patients with bevacizumab. Thus, treatment with bevacizumab results in transcriptome-level differential expression and transcriptional induction of two PAR bZIP transcription factors in the tumors of patients with breast cancer.

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding leukemia inhibitory factor receptor, LIFR, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. LIFR was also differentially expressed in the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer. LIFR mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of LIFR in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with basal and luminal B subtype cancer, demonstrating a complex relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by molecular subtype. LIFR may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.
