For these women, the only current preventative measure is bilateral mastectomy or  oophorectomy The goal of this project is to find less invasive measures to prevent and treat cancer in this patient population.  BRCA1 plays a role in differentiation of mammary stem cells as well as DNA repair. Loss of BRCA1 is thought to result in the accumulation of genetically unstable stem cells, leading to further carcinogenic events and the generation of cancer stem cells (CSC).  Intrinsic features of CSC include the capacity for self-renewal, increased resistance to radiation and chemotherapy and the ability to induce tissue vascularization and invasion. These attributes suggest that CSC may be the principal driving force behind tumor growth, metastases and recurrence.</p> <p>Several developmental pathways have been shown to regulate self-renewal and differentiation of mammary stem cells.  These pathways, such as Hedgehog, WNT and Notch have been linked to tumorigenesis and are often activated in aggressive tumors. Inhibitors to these pathways are currently under clinical development by several major pharmaceutical companies. This project will  identify stem cell pathways that are activated in tumor specimens from patients with BRCA1 mutations and examine the effects of targeted inhibition of these pathways on the growth and survival of breast cancer cell lines harboring BRCA1 mutations.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><u>Radiation induced expansion of cancer stem cells</u></strong></p> <p>Increased activation of the hedgehog pathway has been observed in cancer stem cells. Increased mRNA levels of SHH, Gli and the receptor PTCH-1 have been reported in CD44<sup>+</sup>CD24<sup>-/low</sup>/lin<sup>-</sup> breast cancer cells isolated from human tumors, compared to the bulk of tumor cells.   Our group has identified a higher expression of the PTCH receptor on the surface of breast cancer stem-like cells than the total cellular population in several breast cancer cell lines. Additionally, we have shown that breast cancer cells cultured in stem cell promoting conditions secrete higher levels of SHH. Previous studies by our group and others  have suggested  that there is an increase in cancer stem cells after exposure to radiation and chemotherapy. The goal of this project is to determine if hedgehog signaling contributes to the survival and  proliferation of cancer stem cells after  radiation treatment and how hedgehog interacts with other stem cell pathways that are activated under these conditions.  </p><p align="left"><font size="3" face="Helvetica"><font size="3" face="Helvetica">1.Smith, D.L., Breeman, WAP, </font></font><b><font size="3" face="Helvetica-Bold"><font size="3" face="Helvetica-Bold">Sims-Mourtada, J</font></font></b><font size="3" face="Helvetica"><font size="3" face="Helvetica">.
