Abstract

While interplay between BRCA1 and AURKA-RHAMM-TPX2-TUBG1 regulates mammary epithelial polarization, common genetic variation in HMMR (gene product RHAMM) may be associated with risk of breast cancer in BRCA1 mutation carriers. Following on these observations, we further assessed the link between the AURKA-HMMR-TPX2-TUBG1 functional module and risk of breast cancer in BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers. Forty-one single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in 15,252 BRCA1 and 8,211 BRCA2 mutation carriers and subsequently analyzed using a retrospective likelihood approach. The association of HMMR rs299290 with breast cancer risk in BRCA1 mutation carriers was confirmed: per-allele hazard ratio (HR) = 1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04 – 1.15, p = 1.9 x 10−4 (false discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted p = 0.043). Variation in CSTF1, located next to AURKA, was also found to be associated with breast cancer risk in BRCA2 mutation carriers: rs2426618 per-allele HR = 1.10, 95% CI 1.03 – 1.16, p = 0.005 (FDR-adjusted p = 0.045). Assessment of pairwise interactions provided suggestions (FDR-adjusted pinteraction values > 0.05) for deviations from the multiplicative model for rs299290 and CSTF1 rs6064391, and rs299290 and TUBG1 rs11649877 in both BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers. Following these suggestions, the expression of HMMR and AURKA or TUBG1 in sporadic breast tumors was found to potentially interact, influencing patients’ survival. Together, the results of this study support the hypothesis of a causative link between altered function of AURKA-HMMR-TPX2-TUBG1 and breast carcinogenesis in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.

<p>While interplay between BRCA1 and AURKA-RHAMM-TPX2-TUBG1 regulates mammary epithelial polarization, common genetic variation in
<italic>HMMR</italic>
(gene product RHAMM) may be associated with risk of breast cancer in
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
mutation carriers. Following on these observations, we further assessed the link between the
<italic>AURKA-HMMR-TPX2-TUBG1</italic>
functional module and risk of breast cancer in
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
or
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers. Forty-one single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in 15,252
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
and 8,211
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers and subsequently analyzed using a retrospective likelihood approach. The association of
<italic>HMMR</italic>
rs299290 with breast cancer risk in BRCA1 mutation carriers was confirmed: per-allele hazard ratio (HR) = 1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04 – 1.15, p = 1.9 x 10
<sup>−4</sup>
(false discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted p = 0.043). Variation in
<italic>CSTF1</italic>
, located next to
<italic>AURKA</italic>
, was also found to be associated with breast cancer risk in
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers: rs2426618 per-allele HR = 1.10, 95% CI 1.03 – 1.16, p = 0.005 (FDR-adjusted p = 0.045). Assessment of pairwise interactions provided suggestions (FDR-adjusted p
<sub>interaction</sub>
values > 0.05) for deviations from the multiplicative model for rs299290 and
<italic>CSTF1</italic>
rs6064391, and rs299290 and
<italic>TUBG1</italic>
rs11649877 in both
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
and
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers. Following these suggestions, the expression of
<italic>HMMR</italic>
and
<italic>AURKA</italic>
or
<italic>TUBG1</italic>
in sporadic breast tumors was found to potentially interact, influencing patients’ survival. Together, the results of this study support the hypothesis of a causative link between altered function of AURKA-HMMR-TPX2-TUBG1 and breast carcinogenesis in
<italic>BRCA1/2</italic>
mutation carriers.</p>

<abstract>
<p>While interplay between BRCA1 and AURKA-RHAMM-TPX2-TUBG1 regulates mammary epithelial polarization, common genetic variation in
<italic>HMMR</italic>
(gene product RHAMM) may be associated with risk of breast cancer in
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
mutation carriers. Following on these observations, we further assessed the link between the
<italic>AURKA-HMMR-TPX2-TUBG1</italic>
functional module and risk of breast cancer in
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
or
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers. Forty-one single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in 15,252
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
and 8,211
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers and subsequently analyzed using a retrospective likelihood approach. The association of
<italic>HMMR</italic>
rs299290 with breast cancer risk in BRCA1 mutation carriers was confirmed: per-allele hazard ratio (HR) = 1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04 – 1.15, p = 1.9 x 10
<sup>−4</sup>
(false discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted p = 0.043). Variation in
<italic>CSTF1</italic>
, located next to
<italic>AURKA</italic>
, was also found to be associated with breast cancer risk in
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers: rs2426618 per-allele HR = 1.10, 95% CI 1.03 – 1.16, p = 0.005 (FDR-adjusted p = 0.045). Assessment of pairwise interactions provided suggestions (FDR-adjusted p
<sub>interaction</sub>
values > 0.05) for deviations from the multiplicative model for rs299290 and
<italic>CSTF1</italic>
rs6064391, and rs299290 and
<italic>TUBG1</italic>
rs11649877 in both
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
and
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers. Following these suggestions, the expression of
<italic>HMMR</italic>
and
<italic>AURKA</italic>
or
<italic>TUBG1</italic>
in sporadic breast tumors was found to potentially interact, influencing patients’ survival. Together, the results of this study support the hypothesis of a causative link between altered function of AURKA-HMMR-TPX2-TUBG1 and breast carcinogenesis in
<italic>BRCA1/2</italic>
mutation carriers.</p>

) gene, RHAMM, was found to be biochemically and functionally linked to the breast cancer gene, early onset 1 gene product (BRCA1) [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
]. Analysis of common genetic variation in
<italic>HMMR</italic>
suggested an association with breast cancer risk in Ashkenazi Jewish women, with a greater increased risk in younger individuals [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
]. However, this association was not observed either in a European case-control study [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref002" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
] or in a genome-wide association study in postmenopausal women of European ancestry [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref003" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
].</p>
<p>Following the initial functional evidence, a molecular mechanism involving RHAMM and BRCA1 was found to regulate mammary epithelial apicobasal polarization and, possibly, differentiation [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
]. The results from this study indicated that RHAMM and BRCA1 play a central role in the cytoskeletal reorganization necessary for epithelial polarization. This functional interplay included interactions with the product of the proto-oncogene aurora kinase A (AURKA) and its major regulator, targeting protein for Xklp2 (TPX2), in addition to g-tubulin (TUBG1) [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
]. In this scenario, cell proliferation is endorsed by activated AURKA while polarization and differentiation are mediated by activation of BRCA1 and degradation of RHAMM. Intriguingly, the same
<italic>HMMR</italic>
variation as originally detected in the Ashkenazi Jewish population was suggested to be associated with breast cancer risk in
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
, but not in
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
]. This observation was endorsed by complementary analyses in breast cancer tissue; specifically, loss of cell polarity was revealed in
<italic>in situ</italic>
breast tissue lesions of
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
mutation carriers and, accordingly, increased staining of phospho-T703-RHAMM (target of AURKA) was preferentially detected in estrogen receptor α (ERα)-negative and
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
-mutated tumors [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
].</p>
<p>While the
<italic>HMMR</italic>
association study in
<italic>BRCA1/2</italic>
mutation carriers drew on a partial dataset from the Consortium of Investigators of Modifiers of
<italic>BRCA1/2</italic>
(CIMBA), the depicted mechanistic model highlighted additional gene candidates for breast cancer risk; i.e.,
<italic>AURKA</italic>
,
<italic>TPX2</italic>
, and
<italic>TUBG1</italic>
[
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
]. In a previous CIMBA study, no evidence of association was found between functional variation in
<italic>AURKA</italic>
and breast cancer risk among
<italic>BRCA1/2</italic>
mutation carriers [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
]. However, these results were based on a more limited CIMBA dataset (4,935
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
and 2,241
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers) and did not comprehensively assess variation in the
<italic>AURKA</italic>
genomic region. Furthermore, variation in
<italic>TUBG1</italic>
was found to be associated with breast cancer risk in a hospital-based case-control study [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
], but has not been assessed in
<italic>BRCA1/2</italic>
mutation carriers.</p>
<p>In addition to multiplicative allele effects, systematic analyses in model organisms have shown that a given phenotype may be substantially determined by genetic interactions (GxG); that is, “epistasis” in statistical terms, defined as deviation from additivity for a quantitative phenotype arising from the effect of genetic variants or mutations in another locus [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref007" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
]. Importantly, GxG significantly overlap with other types of gene and/or protein relationships [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
]. Therefore, the functional interplay between the aforementioned genes/proteins in a key mammary epithelial cell process could support the existence of genetic interactions that influence cancer risk.</p>
<p>In the present study, given previous evidence of 1) the functional interplay between BRCA1 and AURKA-RHAMM-TPX2-TUBG1 in mammary epithelial polarization [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>

<bold>
<xref rid="pone.0120020.s002" ref-type="supplementary-material">S1 Table</xref>

). In addition, we analyzed five SNPs proximal to the

] (
<bold>
<xref rid="pone.0120020.s002" ref-type="supplementary-material">S1 Table</xref>
</bold>
). In total, these SNPs represented 32 partially independent variants (pairwise r
<sup>2</sup>
< 0.85). To account for multiple testing, we used a FDR approach for the 41 genotyped SNPs that were evaluated for their associations with breast cancer risk in
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
and
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers; significant results are reported for FDR < 5%. The main analyses focused on evaluating associations between each genotype and breast cancer or ovarian cancer risk separately, in a survival analysis framework. In the breast cancer analysis, the phenotype of each individual was defined by age at breast cancer diagnosis or age at last follow-up. Individuals were followed until the age of the first breast or ovarian cancer diagnosis or bilateral prophylactic mastectomy, whichever occurred first, or until age at last observation. Mutation carriers censored at ovarian cancer diagnosis were considered to be unaffected. For the ovarian cancer analysis, the primary endpoint was the age at ovarian cancer diagnosis, and mutation carriers were followed until the age of ovarian cancer diagnosis or risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy, or until age at last observation. In order to maximize the number of ovarian cancer cases, breast cancer was not considered to be a censoring event in this analysis, and mutation carriers who developed ovarian cancer after breast cancer diagnosis were considered affected in the ovarian cancer analysis. To adjust for the non-random sampling of mutation carriers with respect to their disease status, data were analyzed by modeling the retrospective likelihood of the observed genotypes conditional on the disease phenotypes [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
]. The associations were assessed using the 1-degree of freedom score test statistic based on this retrospective likelihood. To allow for the non-independence among related individuals, the correlation between the genotypes was taken into account using a kinship-adjusted version of the score test statistic [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
]. The p values presented were based on the adjusted score test. To estimate the HRs, the effect of each SNP was modeled as either a per-allele or genotype on the log-scale by maximizing the retrospective likelihood. The evidence of heterogeneity in the associations between countries/study-centers was also evaluated. Associations with breast and ovarian cancer risks were assessed simultaneously within a competing risk analysis framework [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>

<italic>AURKA</italic>

<italic>CSTF1</italic>

<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref019" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
]). The IMPUTE2 software [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
] was used for imputation of non-genotyped SNPs. Associations of each marker with cancer risk were assessed using a similar score test to that used for the genotyped SNPs, but based on the posterior genotype probabilities at each imputed marker for each individual. In all analyses, only those SNPs with an imputation information/accuracy of r
<sup>2</sup>
> 0.30 and a minor allele frequency (MAF) > 0.3 were considered. The haplotypes and their posterior probabilities were estimated using the expectation-maximization algorithm [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>
]. Only the four

haplotypes with the highest probabilities were considered; the rest were grouped into a single rare haplotype. Each carrier was assigned the most likely haplotypes and the association between haplotypes and age at breast cancer diagnosis was evaluated using a standard Cox proportional hazards model.

<xref rid="pone.0120020.s001" ref-type="supplementary-material">S1 Fig.</xref>

<italic>HMMR</italic>
promoter region that is active in mammary epithelial cells, as detected by the analysis of data from genome occupancy profiling [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref024" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>
] (
<bold>
<xref rid="pone.0120020.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1B</xref>
</bold>
). In addition, analysis of data for ERα binding plasticity [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref037" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>

<italic>HMMR</italic>
promoter in poor-prognosis breast tumors (

<p>Causal alleles for different common diseases have shown evidence of positive selection [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref038" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>
]. Notably, a recent report suggested the action of positive selection on the evolution of BRCA1 and RHAMM orthologs in the naked mole rat, which is an exceptionally cancer-resistant species [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref039" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>
]. Following on from this suggestion, we identified footprints of positive selection in the evolution of some amino acids of both proteins. In both cases, model M8 (selection model) better fits the protein alignment data than model M7 (null model): p values = 6.69 x 10
<sup>−14</sup>
and 1.55 x 10
<sup>−5</sup>
, for BRCA1 and RHAMM, respectively. Moreover, the likelihood of the data is significantly higher under model M8 than under the nested model M8a: p values = 6.22 x 10
<sup>−10</sup>
and 0.014 for BRCA1 and RHAMM, respectively, confirming the presence of positively selected sites in these alignments. However, Valine 369 RHAMM was not identified in these analyses; the predicted amino acid sites under selection were only linked to rare variants (MAFs < 0.01) (
<bold>
<xref rid="pone.0120020.s005" ref-type="supplementary-material">S4 Table</xref>
</bold>
). Nonetheless, as suggested in the analysis of the naked mole rat sequence, Valine 369 is within a region with a potential excess of selected positions (
<bold>
<xref rid="pone.0120020.g002" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2A</xref>

<title>Evaluation of

<p>The original study suggested an association between the rs299290 risk allele and ERα-negative breast cancer for
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
mutation carriers [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>

<sup>−3</sup>
; ERα-positive, per-allele HR = 1.09, 95% CI 0.98–1.21, p = 0.13; p

<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers, but in the opposite direction to that observed for
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
mutation carriers: ERα-negative
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers n = 434, per-allele HR = 0.83, 95% CI 0.70–0.97, p = 0.022. In addition, there was no evidence of an rs299290 association with ERα-positive breast cancer in

mutation carriers (n = 1,490, p = 0.40, ERα-negative effect p

<p>Regarding
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
mutation classes, the original study [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
] suggested a rs299290 association in carriers of mutations expected to result in a reduced transcript or protein level due to nonsense-mediated RNA decay (Class 1), but not in carriers of mutations likely to generate stable proteins with a potential residual or dominant-negative function (Class 2). The current study indicated a similar association, although the estimations were not significantly different: Class 1, rs299290 per-allele HR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.05–1.18, p = 4.6 x 10
<sup>−4</sup>
; Class 2, rs299290 per-allele HR = 1.03, 95% CI 0.94–1.14, p = 0.51. Regarding Ashkenazi Jewish

<p>The results of this study expand on the previous suggestion that variation in

is specifically associated with breast cancer risk in
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
mutation carriers [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>

<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
]—we were able to confirm the association of this locus, and to demonstrate that the strongest signal corresponded to rs299290. No specific effect was revealed when analyzing this association by ERα tumor status. Larger carrier series may be required to comprehensively evaluate associations by tumor subtype or, conversely, to establish that variation in
<italic>HMMR</italic>
interacts with Class I
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
mutations to give rise to any type of tumor. In this context, mapping of the protein and/or functional domains interacting between BRCA1 and RHAMM would be necessary to decipher the role of rs299290, if any, and of the observed potential positive selection. With regard to the results obtained for
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers, the opposite direction of the potential association with ERα-negative breast cancer compared with the association observed for
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
mutation carriers is intriguing. Opposite effects between cancer subtypes have been observed for other modifier loci [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
] and, thus, potentially inform on opposing functional roles in biological processes influencing carcinogenesis. In other words, alteration of RHAMM function in mammary epithelial differentiation may have a differential effect on breast cancer risk depending on whether it occurs in a
<italic>BRCA1-</italic>
or
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
-mutated background.</p>
<p>The study of gene loci functionally related to
<italic>HMMR</italic>
suggests an association between variation in

<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref043" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>
], and a similar association was observed in the analysis of
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers: HR = 0.93, p = 0.021; not significant in
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
mutation carriers, p = 0.25. This variant is partially correlated with rs2426618 (r
<sup>2</sup>
= 0.63), and more strongly correlated with rs6064391 (r
<sup>2</sup>
= 0.86), which might interact with rs299290.</p>
<p>In addition to the main effects, interaction between
<italic>HMMR</italic>
and
<italic>AURKA</italic>
, and between
<italic>HMMR</italic>
and
<italic>TUBG1</italic>
could influence breast cancer risk in
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
and
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers. The interactions did not remain statistically significant after corrections for multiple testing and, therefore, additional studies are warranted to investigate these findings further. Combined expression of
<italic>HMMR</italic>
and
<italic>AURKA</italic>
, and
<italic>HMMR</italic>
and
<italic>TUBG1</italic>
in sporadic breast tumors appeared to influence patients’ survival differentially. These results could be analogous to those observed for breast cancer risk, but it remains unknown how the corresponding risk alleles may alter gene expression and/or protein function. In this context, over-expression of
<italic>HMMR</italic>
,
<italic>AURKA</italic>
or
<italic>TUBG1</italic>
impairs mammary epithelial polarization [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
] and the rs299290 risk allele could be associated with relatively higher levels of
<italic>HMMR</italic>
expression [
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0120020.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
], which would be consistent with the observed interactions. However, other studies on the potential regulatory impact of this variant and/or the link to selective constraints are needed. It is also important to note that the altered gene products may not be those included in the depicted functional module, but rather other products from the corresponding chromosomal regions.</p>
<p>In summary, centered on the
<italic>AURKA-HMMR-TPX2-TUBG1</italic>
functional module that regulates mammary epithelial polarization, this study confirms previous association results for
<italic>HMMR</italic>
rs299290 and suggests novel associations (for
<italic>AURKA</italic>
/
<italic>CSTF1</italic>
and
<italic>HMMR</italic>
-rs299290 interactions) with breast cancer risk in
<italic>BRCA1</italic>
and/or
<italic>BRCA2</italic>
mutation carriers.</p>
