Box 800170, Charlottesville, Virginia 22908, United States ∥ Department of Dermatology, University of Cologne, Kerpener Str. 62, Cologne D-50937, Germany ABSTRACT: Following initial transformation, tumorigenesis, growth, invasion, and metastasis involves a complex interaction between the transformed tissue and the host, particularly in the microenvironment adjacent to the developing tumor. The tumor microenvironment itself is a unique outcome of the host reacting to the tumor and perhaps the tumor reacting to the host and in turn the tumor altering the host’s response to give rise to an environment that ultimately promotes tumor progression. The tumor-adjacent stromal, sometimes referred to as “reactive stromal” or the desmoplastic stroma, has received some investigative studies, but it is incomplete, and likely different tumors promote a varied response and hence different reactive stroma. In this study, we have investigated the proteomics of the host response, both in vitro and in vivo, to breast epithelial cancer, in the former using tissue culture and in the latter laser microdissection of stromal tissue both adjacent and distal to breast invasive ductal cancer (IDC). From proteomic analysis of in vitro tissue culture studies, we observed that the stroma produced is related to the invasiveness of the stimulating breast cancer cell lines but different from that observed from the stromal proteome of archival tissue. In vivo we have identified several potential markers of a reactive stroma. Furthermore, we observed that the proteome of tumor-adjacent stroma differs from that of tumor-distal stroma. The proteomic description of human breast IDC stroma may serve to enhance our understanding of the role of stroma in the progression of cancer and may suggest potential mechanisms of therapeutic interdiction.

INTRODUCTION Worldwide, breast cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer with the incidence of breast cancer increasing by 20% and mortality by 14% since 2008. It is the most common cause of cancer death in women.1 Traditionally, research directed at breast carcinogenesis has focused on mutational events in the ductal epithelium or alternations in the activity of relevant tumor suppressor genes. More recently, there has been a growing appreciation for the role the stroma plays in normal mammary development as well as carcinogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis.2−4 The extracellular matrix (ECM) in breast is a dynamic structure changing in both the components present in the matrix as well as their relative amounts and by doing so offers a dynamic biological functionality important in normal breast development.5,6 However, if the dynamics of ECM is dysregulated, pathological conditions may occur including promotion of tumorigenesis and invasion.7 Breast mammary ducts are composed of myo-epithelial cells that produce basement membrane, a specialized ECM on which adheres mammary epithelium, thereby forming the ductal © 2014 American Chemical Society

lumen. These ducts reside within the breast stroma that is composed of fibroblasts and leukocytes along with ECM proteins including collagens, fibronectin, and a variety of proteoglycans.8 Stromal changes represented by alterations in ECM and cellular constituents are known to occur during breast development and lactation as well as in breast cancer.9 Breast stroma associated with tumors differs from normal breast stroma by virtue of its increased stiffness due to a quantitative and qualitative alteration of ECM constituents.10 These changes in the tumor-associated stroma give rise to an altered or aberrant context for signaling in the ductal epithelium11 that, in turn, could promote tumor growth and metastasis. A variety of experimental approaches have been utilized to characterize the stroma of normal as well as breast tumorassociated stroma including ultrastructural imaging, immunohistochemistry, and proteomic analyses.

containing 10% conditioned media from one of the breast cancer cell lines. Culturing continued for 6 weeks, during which the fibroblasts secreted ECM sufficient in amount for proteomic analysis. Media was changed every other day. To harvest the fibroblast matrix, the culture flasks were first incubated with PBS containing 0.5% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 20 mM NH4OH extraction buffer to lyse the cells,15 followed by two further rinses with the buffer. The remaining cell-free matrix was solubilized in Laemmli buffer for subsequent SDSPAGE analysis. Twenty μg of matrix protein in Laemmli buffer was applied to each lane and electrophoresed on 10% SDSPAGE gels (BioRad, Hercules, CA).16 Multiple gels were run with two gels stained with Coomassie Blue for visualization of the samples and subsequent mass spectrometric analysis.

and light microscopic approaches provide a visual representation of stromal ECM composition and more importantly its organization/architecture; however, it only offers a nominal representation of the stroma ECM composition. Using a combination of histology, electron microscopy and nonlinear optical imaging, Provenzano and colleagues12 investigated epithelial-stromal interactions in mammary tumors, tumor explants, and normal mammary glands and were able to identify tumor-associated collagen structures. In these structures, there was increased collagenous stroma density near the tumor, taut collagen fibers around the tumor, as well as collagen fibers reorganized into fibers aligned in the direction of cell invasion. Similarly, increased stromal collagen density in a mouse mammary model of tumorigenesis was observed using multiphoton laser-scanning microscopy. This increase in collagen was associated with a three-fold greater risk of tumorigenesis and a more invasive phenotype producing an increase in metastasis to the lungs.13 In addition to stromal collagens, other noncollagenous stromal proteins have been demonstrated to play critical roles in normal breast development as well as tumorigenesis and invasion.5 In this investigation, we compared the in vitro stromal proteome of fibroblasts stimulated by conditioned media from human breast cancer cell lines with differing invasive/metastatic phenotypes. We also compared the in vivo stromal proteome of normal human breast tissue to that of the stromal regions adjacent and distal to invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) in situ using laser microdissection and mass spectrometry. The results of these proteomic analyses highlight the similarities and differences observed between in vitro and in vivo experimentation. More interestingly, the in vivo studies suggest that certain ECM proteins may function as markers for tumorigenesis in mammary tissue and that there is a spatial difference in stromal composition that is dependent on proximity to the tumor. The differences in the regional stromal ECM may also provide insight into the role stoma plays in carcinogenesis, invasion, and metastasis.



3. GeLC−MS Prep for In Vitro Fibroblast Extracellular Matrix

Individual lanes of the gels were each cut into 10 individual slices and treated with our standard sample preparation protocol.17 Briefly, each slice was cubed and transferred to a siliconized tube, followed by washing and destaining in 200 μL of 50% methanol for 4 h. The samples were then dehydrated with acetonitrile, followed by rehydration and reduction in 30 μL of 10 mM dithiolthreitol in 0.1 M ammonium bicarbonate at room temperature for 30 m, followed by alkylation with 30 μL of 50 mM iodoacetamide in 0.1 M ammonium bicarbonate at room temperature for 30 m. Following removal of the solution, the samples were dehydrated again with treatment of 100 μL of acetonitrile, followed by 100 μL of ammonium bicarbonate. After another dehydration step with acetonitrile, the samples were dried by vacuum centrifugation. The gel pieces were then rehydrated in 20 ng/μL trypsin (Promega reductively alkylated, MS grade) in 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate on ice for 10 min. The digestion was allowed to go overnight at 37 °C with the peptides extracted twice from the gel pieces with 50 μL of 50% acetonitrile/5% formic acid. The extracts were then reduced to 15 μL for MS analysis. 4. Laser Microdissection of Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded Human Breast Tissue

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples were retrieved from the clinical archives of the University of Virginia Health System Biorepository and Tissue Research Facility according to Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocols. Normal breast samples from reduction mammoplasty procedures of women with no known cancer and IDC were obtained from mastectomy or lumpectomy procedures. For the tissue samples containing cancer, “adjacent stroma” was defined as stroma (nonepithelial tissue) adjacent to and extending from neoplastic epithelium for a distance no greater than 2 mm. “Distal stroma” was defined as nonepithelial tissue no closer than 10 mm to neoplastic epithelium. After pathological review of hemoxylin- and enosin-stained 8 μm FFPE breast tissue sections, a 2 mm2 area of stroma was laser-microdissected using a Leica ASLMD instrument (Leica Microsystems, Buffalo Grove, IL). Typically, this area yielded ∼43 μg of protein, as estimated by absorbance at 280 nm using a NanoVue Plus spectrophotometer (GE Healthcare Biosciences, Pittsburgh, PA). The laser-captured tissue was processed for mass spectrometry using an Expression Pathology Liquid Tissue MS Protein Prep Kit according to the manufacturer’s recommendations (Expression Pathology, Rockville, MD) to generate peptides from the samples. Samples were stored at −20 °C until processed for mass spectrometric analysis.

1. Cell Lines

Four cell lines from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Rockville, MD) were utilized in these studies: HS68, a human fibroblast line and three human breast lines: MCF10A, MCF7, and MDA-MB-231. The breast cell lines are distinctive in their in vitro and in vivo invasiveness with the MDA-MB-231 line being invasive/malignant, MCF7 being noninvasive/ benign, and MCF10A representing normal breast epithelium.14 The breast cell lines were grown to ∼70−80% confluence at 37 °C, 7% CO2 in DMEM media (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY). The media was then replaced with serum-free DMEM, and allowed to condition for 48 h, at which point it was removed and centrifuged to clear any particular matter. HS68 fibroblasts were cultured under the same conditions as the breast cancer cell lines until ready for use. 2. In Vitro Stimulated Fibroblast Matrix Production

Production of stimulated fibroblast-secreted ECM was performed by generally following a standardized protocol from the literature.15 In brief, fibroblasts were cultured in 25 cm2 plates (Corning, NY) until 70% confluent and then rinsed with serum-free DMEM media, followed by culture in DMEM 4740

5. Mass Spectrometry Sample Analysis

Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) was used at a dilution of 1:100. Polyclonal antibodies against human fibronectin (AB2413) and thrombospondin (AB1823) were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge MA) and used at a dilution of 1:200 and 1:40, respectively. Polyclonal antibody against human periostin was from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO. Antibodies were incubated with sections at ambient temperature for 30 min, followed by visualization with Envision Dual Link (Dako North America) with 3,3′-diaminobenzidene tetrahydrochloride. Immunohistochemical sections were scored for relative amounts of staining with a range of no staining to heavy staining.

LC−MS/MS was performed on a Thermo Electron LTQFT with ECD mass spectrometer (in vitro fibroblast ECM) or a Thermo Electron Orbitrap XL with ETD mass spectrometer (laser microdissection FFPE tissue) with a Protana nanospray ion source connected to a laboratory-packed 8 cm × 75 μm id Phenomenex Jupiter 10 μm C18 reversed-phase capillary column.17 The LC was an Agilent 1100 microquaternary pump using two channels to form the gradient. 50% (ECM) or 1 μg equivalent (FFPE) of extract was injected onto the column and then eluted with an acetonitrile/0.1 M acetic acid gradient 2−80% at a flow rate of 0.5 μL/min over 90 min. The ion source was set at 2.5 kV. The instrument was set to acquire a full-scan mass spectrum (MS − FT/Orbitrap 60K resolution) to analyze peptide molecular masses, followed by 20 product ion spectra (MS/MS - ion trap) to identify amino acid sequences over the course of the elution. The following instrument settings were used for the LTQFT (Orbitrap XL in parentheses if different) − cap temp 210 C (265 C), FT AGC 1E6 (9E5), 1 μm scan, FT max ion time 1000 ms (500 ms), IT AGC 1E4 (8E3), IT max ion time 100 ms, ms/ms trigger 1000 counts, isolation width 3, normalized collision energy 35, activation time 30 ms (10 ms), repeat count 1, repeat duration 30 s, exclusion list size 50 (200), and exclusion duration 120 s (60 s).

The average amount of protein extracted from the plates following removal of the fibroblasts was 80 μg. A representative SDS-PAGE of the secreted ECM for the HS68 fibroblasts grown in the presence of conditioned media from the three breast cancer cell lines is shown in Figure 1. The Coomassie

6. Mass Spectrometry Data Analysis

The data generated from each gel slice or FFPE sample was analyzed by a database search with the Sequest search algorithm (Proteome Discoverer 1.4.1) against the Uniprot Human Proteome database (downloaded 07/2014, 88 942 entries). All search data were loaded into Scaffold V 4_3_4 (www. proteomesoftware.com) with the following filters: 2 or greater unique peptides, Peptide Prophet score > 60%, Protein Prophet score > 95%, Xcorr > 1.8 (+1), 2.2 (+2), 2.5 (+3), and 3.5 (+4 or greater). The p values were determined using the two-tailed Fisher exact test. All data from each of the 10 slices of an individual gel lane (sample) were combined into a single data set and relative quantitation performed using normalized spectral counts (called Quantitative Values in Scaffold; www. proteomesoftware.com). For the laser microdissected tissue, each sample was treated as a unique sample in the Scaffold analysis, and the same Quantitative Values were used as above. Complete mass spectrometry data can be assessed with a Scaffold viewer at http://proteus.achs.virginia.edu:8080/ lablink/Welcome.do.

7. Bioinformatics

To evaluate the similarities or differences between protein abundance determined by mass spectrometry for the stroma from normal, IDC-adjacent, and IDC-distal stroma, we used the dchip software for hierarchical cluster analysis.18 8. Immunohistochemical Analysis of FFPE Breast Tissue

Four-micron sections of FFPE human breast tissue were cut and positioned on charged glass slides (Superfrost Plus, Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA). The slides were then deparaffinized, followed by a standard antigen retrieval protocol carried out on a PT Link automated slide processing system as recommended by the manufacturer (Dako North America, Carpinteria, CA). Endogenous peroxidases were blocked using the Peroxidase and Alkaline Phosphatase Blocking Reagent (Dako North America). Polyclonal antibody against collagen XII (Sigma-

blue stained lanes all appear superficially similar to that of the control, unstimulated HS68 fibroblast ECM. Table 1 contains the 50 most abundant proteins from the culture plate extractions from the 1701 proteins identified with high probability (ProteinProphet > 95%, minimum 2 peptides as per Scaffold algorithm). Most of the proteins seen in this presentation are cellular, which may be interpreted as being due to the long incubation times to generate sufficient matrix and the subsequent accumulation of cellular debris in the ECM. 4741

unstimulated fibroblast matrix, compared with the stimulated fibroblast matrices. Lumican and thrombospondin-1 were observed to be at greater abundance in the breast-cell-linecondition media-stimulated fibroblast matrices compared with the unstimulated fibroblast matrix with thrombospondin-1, demonstrating the most abundance in the fibroblast matrix stimulated with the conditioned media from the metastatic breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231.

Table 2 shows a listing of the ECM proteins identified in those samples and their relative abundance. In general, under these experimental conditions, there was not a significant correlation of the expression of canonical ECM proteins by fibroblasts stimulated with media from breast cell lines having different invasive phenotypes. However, at relatively low abundances, 12 ECM proteins were identified. Of those 12, collagen alpha3(VI) chain was in greater abundance (>3 fold) in the control, 4742

2. Proteomics of Breast Stromal Tissue

An example of laser microdissection of breast stroma is seen in Figure 2. In Figure 3 is shown the relative protein amount

the 25 ECM proteins identified with high confidence from the laser microdissection experiments. These were grouped as the following: similar abundance across all three groups; variable abundance across all three groups; higher abundance in cancer adjacent stroma; higher abundance in cancer distal stroma; and lower abundance in cancer stroma. A review of this data suggested candidates for potential markers of tumor adjacent reactive stroma. As seen in Table 4, seven ECM proteins were identified to be more abundance in IDC adjacent stroma compared with normal breast stroma or stroma distal to IDC. These included: collagen alpha-1(XII) chain, fibronectin, periostin, thromobospondin-1, thromobospondin-2, tenascin, and isoform B of collagen alpha-1(XI) chain. Five ECM proteins, mimecan, collagen alpha-1(I) chain, collagen alpha1(I) chain, isoform 2 of collagen alpha-1(XIV) chain, and isoform B of decorin, were observed to be of lower abundance in the IDC stroma, particularly stroma adjacent to IDC, compared with normal stroma.

associated with different areas of laser microdissected tissue from different breast samples. In general, it appears that the protein density, as estimated by protein amount/area of sample in the region adjacent to the tumor, was higher compared with that of normal breast stroma and the stroma distal to the tumor, which is in accordance with reports of increased stroma near tumors. The 50 most abundant proteins identified in breast stroma from a total of 234 identified proteins are shown in Table 3. Unlike in the in vitro generated proteome, many of the proteins identified from these tissues are known ECM proteins along with some cellular components present. In Table 4 are shown

the three sample types cluster on separate arms with the normal breast stromal and the stroma distal to IDC are more closely related to each other than the stroma adjacent to IDC. Thus, from this perspective as well the stromal proteomes for tissue regions can distinguish these tissue regions from one another.

To extend and verify increased abundance of selected proteins identified by the proteomic analyses, immunohistochemical analyses were performed on 22 different samples of breast tissue: 10 normal breast tissue samples, 9 samples from stroma adjacent to IDC, and 3 samples from stroma distal (>10 mm) from IDC. All of the candidate markers (fibronectin, thrombospondin, collagen XII, and periostin) were highly stained in the stroma adjacent to the IDC (Table 5). Fibronectin and collagen XII were observed to be only modestly stained in both the normal breast stroma and stroma distal to IDC. Thrombospondin and periostin staining were absent in normal breast stroma and stroma distal to IDC. Representative images of immunohistochemical staining for these proteins are shown in Figure 5.

The alteration of stromal composition and hence structure adjacent to neoplasia has long been recognized to be a critical aspect of the host’s response to the disease.5 Numerous investigations of the desmoplastic response or “reactive stroma” of tumors have been conducted with the aim of characterizing this aspect of the tumor microenvironment as well as for seeking mechanistic insights into what, if any, role this altered stroma may play in tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis.19 Many of these studies utilized immunohistochemical approaches that are quite specific and sensitive; however, they require a preknowledge of the protein(s) one is seeking. Proteomics, to a degree, allows for an unbiased characterization of a sample, and laser microdissection of tissue further allows for spatial discrimination as to what histological regions are to be interrogated. Previously our laboratory demonstrated cross-talk between melanoma and stromal fibroblasts in vitro and in vivo using gene expression analysis.20 From these studies, we noted a correlation of the aggressiveness of the melanoma cell lines with their ability to stimulate fibroblast gene expression, and many of the transcripts observed to be upregulated by the highly invasive melanoma lines were for ECM proteins. In this investigation, we explored the ability of conditioned media from breast cancer cell lines with different invasive phenotype to stimulate the production of ECM by fibroblasts as observed by proteomic analysis of secreted matrix. Some modest differences were observed in the ECM proteomes of the fibroblasts stimulated with conditioned media (Tables 1 and 2). While no one protein or set of proteins was observed to be correlated to stimulation by a specific cell-line-conditioned media, it did appear that some increase in thrombospondin-1 abundance in the matrix was secreted by the fibroblasts stimulated with breast-cancer-cell-conditioned media (MCF7 and MDA-MB231). Also, there seemed to an increase in abundance of lumican in all fibroblast matrices in the presence of conditioned media from the cell lines. Collagen VI was observed to have a lower abundance in all of the stimulated fibroblast matrices. Overall, from the proteomic analysis of the laser-microdissected stroma, 234 proteins were identified with high confidence. These proteins were a combination of typical

ECM proteins as well as cellular proteins present due to cellular populations in the stroma including fibroblasts and resident macrophages among others. Hierarchal analysis of the proteomes from 10 breast tissue stromal samples organized the tissues in relationship to whether they were in close proximity to IDC (Figure 4). The stromal proteome of the normal breast tissue and that of a stromal region distal to IDC were more similar to one another than the stroma juxtaposed to IDC, indicating that the primary, reactive, desmoplastic stromal response to the cancerous tissue is somewhat spatially limited. However, the proteome distal from the IDC tissue was

localized on its own arm of the dendrogram. Therefore, although similar to the normal breast stroma, it is not identical. This suggests that the effect of the presence of cancerous tissue on stromal composition and architecture is most profound in the adjacent stroma. Also, the impact of the presence of tumor on the stromal proteome is further reaching and may have functional implications distal to the tumor (Table 4). Close inspection of the proteomes and immunohistochemistry from these three stromal regions indicated that several proteins were associated at high abundance associated with having a close proximity to IDC (collagen XII, fibronectin, 4747

likely depends on the specific tissue/microenvironment.31 Therefore, the presence of thrombospondin-1 in stromal regions adjacent to IDC is not surprising given the different proteome/structure of this matrix region compared with normal breast stromal matrix. Periostin is a protein that has received considerable recent experimental attention by virtue of it being associated with a variety of cancers.32−34 Periostin is expressed in a multitude of tissues and is involved with normal development and response to stress.35,36 By virtue of its multidomain structure, periostin can interact with a number of matrix proteins including tenascin-C and collagen I, thereby playing an important role in matrix organization and function.37 Experimental alteration of periostin levels in tissues can dramatically alter ECM structure, such as observed with periostin knockout mice, and manifests itself as confined tibial periostitis.27 In addition, using a mouse model for melanoma using human xenografts, Kotobuki and colleagues were able to show a dependence of periostin expression by the host for metastasis by altering the stroma microenvironment.38 In addition to the structural role of periostin in matrices, they also interact via a number of integrins, including avB3, avB5, and a6B4, giving rise to intracellular signaling.39 Activation of both the Erk and PI3-K/ Akt pathways has been demonstrated for periostin and associated with a tumorigenic function for the protein.40,41 In the breast IDC adjacent studies in this investigation, periostin abundance was significantly increased compared with the IDC distal or normal breast stroma, thereby suggesting that periostin may be playing an important role in carcinogenesis in situ and perhaps beyond for those cancers that become invasive. Two additional interesting observations are seen in this study beyond the identification of high abundance ECM proteins associated with the IDC adjacent stroma. There is an overall decrease in the abundance of mimecan in the IDC adjacent stroma compared with the IDC distal stroma and in particular with the normal breast stroma. Mimecan is a member of the

periostin, thrombospondin-1, and tenascin) (Tables 4 and 5). Collagen XII is a fibril-associated collagen with interrupted triple helices (FACIT).21,22 As the term FACIT implies, collagen XII interacts with collagen I fibrils utilizing its collagenous region. The noncollagenous regions also can interact with other matrix proteins, notably tenascin, and has been show to play a role in the stabilization of matrix structure in bones and muscle.23,24 Collectively, collagen XII has been shown to play a role in the organization of collagen fibril into bundles.24,25 Previously, using the MCF10CA1a highly malignant breast cancer cell and tissue lysates, Yen and colleagues identified collagen alpha-1(XII) chain as being expressed at significantly greater levels compared with nonmalignant cell lines or normal tissue lysates.26 In a different experimental setting, Karagiannis and colleagues have shown collagen XII to be present in the desmoplastic invasive front of colorectal cancer metastasis.27,28 From our investigation, we see an enhanced abundance of collagen XII in the stroma adjacent to IDC in conjunction with an enhanced abundance of its binding partner tenascin, suggesting a functional role for collagen XII and tenascin in this microenvironment as well. Tumor cell growth and particularly invasion is in part defined by ECM composition, and collagen fibril reorganization in the stroma is critical to provide an interstitial pathway for breast cancer cell dissemination.29 One could speculate that increased collagen XII abundance may be important in the reorganization of the collagen bundles that appears to occur adjacent to tumors as they develop and eventually invade into the stroma. The increased abundance of fibronectin and thrombospondin-1 in the stroma adjacent to the IDC is not surprising in that both of the matrix components have been observed in stromal regions adjacent to tumors. In normal biological processes, thrombospondin-1 has been demonstrated to be involved in inflammatory processes and ECM production and organization.30 Thrombospondin-1 has been implicated as being both pro- and anti-tumorigenic/invasive, and the exact role it plays 4748

readily apparent that extracellular matrices are highly complex, giving rise to a vast combination of biological, structural, and functional properties associated with normal and pathological biology. In this study, we have demonstrated that stromal proteomes depend on the histological regions at which they are assessed, a feature we have previously demonstrated for dermal tissue.47 The difference we observed with these proteomes provides indications as to which proteins may be potential markers of carcinogenesis. Consideration of these results may suggest experimental approaches to query the function of these proteins in the various aspects of carcinogenesis, tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis and potentially identify novel therapeutic focus to attenuate these processes.

small leucine repeat protein (SLRP) family and has been demonstrated to interact with collagens that play a role in collagen fibrillogenesis.42 Furthermore, SLRPs have been shown to interact with collagens and provide some degree of protection from cleavage by collagenases.43 A decrease in mimecan abundance has been reported in invasive ductal breast carcinoma, suggesting that the decreased abundance of mimecan is a marker for invasive carcinoma.44 The decreased abundance of mimecan in the IDC adjacent stroma suggests, in complement to the increased abundance of other ECM proteins in the region, the generation of a very different matrix structure and thus a functionality associated with IDC potentially involved in carcinogenesis and invasion. ECM biology and tissue stroma has long held the interests of scientists in a variety of disciplines due to the central role they play in numerous normal and pathological biological processes. With the advent of new technologies including genomics, gene expression analysis, and proteomics, matrix biology is being explored at new depths. Recently, Hynes and Naba45 have defined the “matrisome” as a list of proteins found in a specific tissue as well as complete list of all of the proteins shown to be involved in a matrix. The “core matrisome” as described is composed of approximately 300 proteins along with numerous other ECM modifying proteins (such as proteinases), ECMbinding growth factors, and ECM-associated proteins.46 It is
