Gene expression profiles of CARM1 overexpression in MCF7

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study is to identify ERalpha-target genes affected by overexpression of the histone arginine methyltransferase CARM1 in breast cancer cells. The roles of CARM1 in ERalpha+ breast cancer was not well characterized. Therefore, we created a Dox inducible CARM1 overexpressing MCF7 cell line where CARM1 is overexpressed by 2 fold to determine the created a Dox-inducible CARM1 overexpressing MCF7 cells for evaluation of the global effects of CARM1 on Eralpha-target gene expression. MCF7-tet-on-CARM1 clone 13 were treated under 4 conditions: DMSO; Dox; E2 (10nM); Dox+E2. In Dox+E2 condition, cells were pre-treated with Dox for 5 days before treating with E2 for 4 hours. 3 biological replicates were included and total of 12 samples were analyzed.

Project description:To obtain comprehensive information on 17beta-estradiol (E2) sensitivity of genes that are inducible or suppressible by this hormone, we designed a method that determines ligand sensitivities of large numbers of genes using DNA microarray and a set of simple Perl computer scripts implementing the standard metric statistics, and employed it to characterize effects of low (0-100 pM) concentrations of E2 on the transcriptome profile of MCF7/BUS human breast cancer cells, whose E2 dose-dependent growth curve saturated with 100 pM E2. Evaluation of changes in mRNA expression for all genes covered by the DNA microarray indicated that, at a very low concentration (10 pM), E2 suppressed 3~5 times larger numbers of genes than it induced, whereas at higher concentrations (30-100 pM) it induced 1.5~2 times more genes than it suppressed. Using clearly defined statistical criteria, E2-inducible genes were categorized into several classes based on their E2 sensitivities. This approach of hormone sensitivity analysis revealed that expression of two previously reported E2-inducible autocrine growth factors, TGF-? and SDF-1, was not affected by 100 pM and lower concentrations of E2 but strongly enhanced by 10 nM E2, which was far higher than the concentration that saturated the E2 dose-dependent growth curve of MCF7/BUS cells. These observations suggested that biological actions of E2 are derived from expression of multiple genes whose E2 sensitivities differ significantly and, hence, dependent on the E2 concentration especially when it is lower than the saturating level, emphasizing the importance of characterizing the ligand dose-dependent aspects of E2 actions. (paper abstract) Keywords: Dose Response, Time Course MCF7/BUS cells were exposed to varying concentrations of 17beta-estradiol (E2) for 48 hours. Experiments were repeated five times independently. In another experiment, MCF7/BUS cells were subjected to hormone starvation. At day 0, 1, and 2, RNA samples were isolated from cell culture. Experiments were repeated three times independently.
