    Abstract Viruses elicit long-term adaptive responses in the tissues they infect. Understanding viral adaptions in humans is difficult in organs such as the heart, where primary infected material is not routinely collected. In search of asymptomatic infections with accompanying host adaptions, we mined for cardio-pathogenic viruses in the unaligned reads of nearly one thousand human hearts profiled by RNA sequencing. Among virus-positive cases (~20%), we identified three robust adaptions in the host transcriptome related to inflammatory NFκB signaling and post-transcriptional regulation by the p38-MK2 pathway. The adaptions are not determined by the infecting virus, and they recur in infections of human or animal hearts and cultured cardiomyocytes. Adaptions switch states when NFκB or p38-MK2 are perturbed in cells engineered for chronic infection by the cardio-pathogenic virus, coxsackievirus B3. Stratifying viral responses into reversible adaptions adds a targetable systems-level simplification for infections of the heart and perhaps other organs.

    Abstract Background: Primary luminal breast cancer cells lose their identity rapidly in standard tissue culture, which is problematic for testing hormone interventions and molecular pathways specific to the luminal subtype. Breast cancer organoids are thought to retain tumor characteristics better, but long-term viability of luminal-subtype cases is a persistent challenge. Our goal was to adapt short-term organoids of luminal breast cancer for parallel testing of genetic and pharmacologic perturbations.
    Methods: We freshly isolated patient-derived cells from luminal tumor scrapes, miniaturized the organoid format into 5 μl replicates for increased throughput, and set an endpoint of 14 days to minimize drift. Therapeutic hormone targeting was mimicked in these "zero-passage" organoids by withdrawing β-estradiol and adding 4-hydroxytamoxifen. We also examined sulforaphane as an electrophilic stress and commercial neutraceutical with reported anti-cancer properties. Downstream mechanisms were tested genetically by lentiviral transduction of two complementary sgRNAs and Cas9 stabilization for the first week of organoid culture. Transcriptional changes were measured by RT-qPCR or RNA sequencing, and organoid phenotypes were quantified by serial brightfield imaging, digital image segmentation, and regression modeling of cellular doubling times.
    Results: We achieved >50% success in initiating luminal breast cancer organoids from tumor scrapes and maintaining them to the 14-day zero-passage endpoint. Success was mostly independent of clinical parameters, supporting general applicability of the approach. Abundance of
    Conclusions: Zero-passage organoids are a rapid and scalable way to interrogate properties of luminal breast cancer cells from patient-derived material. This includes testing drug mechanisms of action in different clinical cohorts. A future goal is to relate inter-patient variability of zero-passage organoids to long-term outcomes.

    Abstract Basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) is highly aggressive, and often characterized by BRCA1 and p53 deficiency. Although conventional mouse models enabled the investigation of BLBC at malignant stages, its initiation and pre-malignant progression remain understudied. Here, we leveraged a mouse genetic system known as mosaic analysis with double markers (MADM) to study BLBC initiation by generating rare GFP+Brca1, p53-deficient mammary cells alongside RFP+ wild-type sibling cells. After confirming the close resemblance of mammary tumors arising in this model to human BLBC at both transcriptomic and genomic levels, we focused our studies on the pre-malignant progression of BLBC. Initiated GFP+ mutant cells showed a stepwise pre-malignant progression trajectory from focal expansion to hyper-alveolarization and then to micro-invasion. Furthermore, despite morphological similarities to alveoli, hyper-alveolarized structures actually originate from ductal cells based on twin-spot analysis of GFP-RFP sibling cells. Finally, luminal-to-basal transition occurred exclusively in cells that have progressed to micro-invasive lesions. Our MADM model provides excellent spatiotemporal resolution to illuminate the pre-malignant progression of BLBC, and should enable future studies on early detection and prevention for this cancer.
