Insulin receptor loss impairs mammary tumorigenesis in mice
CELL REPORTS(2023)
摘要
Breast cancer (BC) prognosis and outcome are adversely affected by obesity. Hyperinsulinemia, common in the obese state, is associated with higher risk of death and recurrence in BC. Up to 80% of BCs overexpress the insulin receptor (INSR), which correlates with worse prognosis. INSR's role in mammary tumorigenesis was tested by generating MMTV-driven polyoma middle T (PyMT) and ErbB2/Her2 BC mouse models, respectively, with coordinate mammary epithelium-restricted deletion of INSR. In both models, deletion of either one or both copies of INSR leads to a marked delay in tumor onset and burden. Longitudinal pheno-typic characterization of mouse tumors and cells reveals that INSR deletion affects tumor initiation, not progression and metastasis. INSR upholds a bioenergetic phenotype in non-transformed mammary epithe-lial cells, independent of its kinase activity. Similarity of phenotypes elicited by deletion of one or both copies of INSR suggest a dose-dependent threshold for INSR impact on mammary tumorigenesis.
