Synthesis and evaluation of 17?-(dimethylphenyl)vinyl estradiols as probes of the estrogen receptor-? ligand binding domain.

ABSTRACT: As part of our program to explore the influence of small structural modifications on the biological response of the estrogen receptor-? (ER?), we prepared and evaluated a series of mono-and di-substituted phenyl vinyl estradiols. The target compounds were prepared in 45-80% yields using the Stille coupling reaction and evaluated using competitive binding analysis with the ER?-ligand binding domain (hER?-LBD) and estrogenic activity (induction of alkaline phosphatase in Ishikawa cells). Results indicated that the 2,4- and 2,5-dimethyl derivatives, 5b and 5c, had the highest relative binding affinity (RBA=20.5 and 37.3%) and relative stimulatory activity (RSA=101.0% and 12.3%) of the di-methyl series.

Synthesis and evaluation of 17α-E-20-(heteroaryl)norpregn-1,3,5(10),20 tetraene-3,17β-diols [17α-(heteroaryl)vinyl estradiols] as ligands for the estrogen receptor-α ligand binding domain (ERα-LBD).

Project description:A series of 17α-(heteroaryl)vinyl estradiols was prepared to evaluate the influence of heteroatom on the affinity and efficacy of estrogenic ligands for the estrogen receptor-alpha ligand binding domain (ERα-LBD). The products demonstrated reduced binding affinity compared to the parent 17α-E-phenyl vinyl estradiol, but the binding was relatively independent of the heteroatom. The greatest influence of the heteroatom was evident in the efficacy of the compounds as the thienyl derivatives 2f,g were more potent than either the pyridyl 2b-d or pyrimidinyl 2e analogs. The results suggest that a subtle interplay of interactions between the ligands and the receptor influences the biological response.

Clinically Observed Estrogen Receptor Alpha Mutations within the Ligand-Binding Domain Confer Distinguishable Phenotypes.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Twenty to fifty percent of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) metastatic breast cancers express mutations within the ER ligand-binding domain. While most studies focused on the constitutive ER signaling activity commonly engendered by these mutations selected during estrogen deprivation therapy, our study was aimed at investigating distinctive phenotypes conferred by different mutations within this class. METHODS:We examined the two most prevalent mutations, D538G and Y537S, employing corroborative genome-edited and lentiviral-transduced ER+ T47D cell models. We used a luciferase-based reporter and endogenous phospho-ER immunoblot analysis to characterize the estrogen response of ER mutants and determined their resistance to known ER antagonists. RESULTS:Consistent with their selection during estrogen deprivation therapy, these mutants conferred constitutive ER activity. While Y537S mutants showed no estrogen dependence, D538G mutants demonstrated an enhanced estrogen-dependent response. Both mutations conferred resistance to ER antagonists that was overcome at higher doses acting specifically through their ER target. CONCLUSIONS:These observations provide a tenable hypothesis for how D538G ESR1-expressing clones can contribute to shorter progression-free survival observed in the exemestane arm of the BOLERO-2 study. Thus, in those patients with dominant D538G-expressing clones, longitudinal analysis for this mutation in circulating free DNA may prove beneficial for informing more optimal therapeutic regimens.

Preliminary molecular dynamic simulations of the estrogen receptor alpha ligand binding domain from antagonist to apo.

Project description:Estrogen receptors (ER) are known as nuclear receptors. They exist in the cytoplasm of human cells and serves as a DNA binding transcription factor that regulates gene expression. However the estrogen receptor also has additional functions independent of DNA binding. The human estrogen receptor comes in two forms, alpha and beta. This work focuses on the alpha form of the estrogen receptor. The ERalpha is found in breast cancer cells, ovarian stroma cells, endometrium, and the hypothalamus. It has been suggested that exposure to DDE, a metabolite of DDT, and other pesticides causes conformational changes in the estrogen receptor. Before examining these factors, this work examines the protein unfolding from the antagonist form found in the 3ERT PDB crystal structure. The 3ERT PDB crystal structure has the estrogen receptor bound to the cancer drug 4-hydroxytamoxifen. The 4-hydroxytamoxifen ligand was extracted before the simulation, resulting in new conformational freedom due to absence of van der Waals contacts between the ligand and the receptor. The conformational changes that result expose the binding clef of the co peptide beside Helix 12 of the receptor forming an apo conformation. Two key conformations in the loops at either end of the H12 are produced resulting in the antagonist to apo conformation transformation. The results were produced over a 42ns Molecular Dynamics simulation using the AMBER FF99SB force field.

Detecting the Ligand-binding Domain Dimerization Activity of Estrogen Receptor Alpha Using the Mammalian Two-Hybrid Assay.

Project description:Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) is an estrogenic ligand-dependent transcription regulator. The sequence of ERα protein is highly conserved among species. It has been thought that the function of human and mouse ERαs is identical. We demonstrate the differential 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen (4OHT) effect on mouse and human ERα ligand-binding domain (LBD) dimerization activity using the mammalian two-hybrid (M2H) assay. The M2H assay can demonstrate the efficiency of LBD homodimerization activity in mammalian cells, utilizing the transfection of two protein expression plasmids (GAL4 DNA-binding domain [DBD] fusion LBD and VP16 transactivation domain [VP16AD] fusion LBD) and a GAL4-responsive element (GAL4RE) fused luciferase reporter plasmid. When the GAL4DBD fusion LBD and the VP16AD fusion LBD make a dimer in the cells, this protein complex binds to the GAL4RE and, then, activates a luciferase gene expression through the VP16AD dependent transcription activity. The 4OHT-mediated luciferase activation is higher in the HepG2 cells that were transfected with the mouse ERα LBD fusion protein expression plasmids than in the human ERα LBD fusion protein expression plasmid transfected cells. This result suggests that the efficacy of the 4OHT-dependent mouse ERα LBD homodimerization activity is higher than human ERα LBD. In general, the utilization of the M2H assay is not ideal for the evaluation of nuclear receptor LBD dimerization activity, because agonistic ligands enhance the basal level of the LBD activity and that impedes the detection of LBD dimerization activity. We found that 4OHT does not enhance ERα LBD basal activity. That is a key factor for being able to determine and detect the 4OHT-dependent LBD dimerization activity for successfully using the M2H assay. ERα LBD-based M2H assays may be applied to study the partial agonist activity of selective estrogen receptor modulators (e.g., 4OHT) in various mammalian cell types.

Ligand-binding dynamics rewire cellular signaling via estrogen receptor-α.

Project description:Ligand-binding dynamics control allosteric signaling through the estrogen receptor-α (ERα), but the biological consequences of such dynamic binding orientations are unknown. Here, we compare a set of ER ligands having dynamic binding orientation (dynamic ligands) with a control set of isomers that are constrained to bind in a single orientation (constrained ligands). Proliferation of breast cancer cells directed by constrained ligands is associated with DNA binding, coactivator recruitment and activation of the estrogen-induced gene GREB1, reflecting a highly interconnected signaling network. In contrast, proliferation driven by dynamic ligands is associated with induction of ERα-mediated transcription in a DNA-binding domain (DBD)-dependent manner. Further, dynamic ligands showed enhanced anti-inflammatory activity. The DBD-dependent profile was predictive of these signaling patterns in a larger diverse set of natural and synthetic ligands. Thus, ligand dynamics directs unique signaling pathways and reveals a new role of the DBD in allosteric control of ERα-mediated signaling.

Differential ligand binding affinities of human estrogen receptor-α isoforms.

Project description:Rapid non-genomic effects of 17β-estradiol are elicited by the activation of different estrogen receptor-α isoforms. Presence of surface binding sites for estrogen have been identified in cells transfected with full-length estrogen receptor-α66 (ER66) and the truncated isoforms, estrogen receptor-α46 (ER46) and estrogen receptor-α36 (ER36). However, the binding affinities of the membrane estrogen receptors (mERs) remain unknown due to the difficulty of developing of stable mER-transfected cell lines with sufficient mER density, which has largely hampered biochemical binding studies. The present study utilized cell-free expression systems to determine the binding affinities of 17β-estradiol to mERs, and the relationship among palmitoylation, membrane insertion and binding affinities. Saturation binding assays of human mERs revealed that [³H]-17β-estradiol bound ER66 and ER46 with Kd values of 68.81 and 60.72 pM, respectively, whereas ER36 displayed no specific binding within the tested concentration range. Inhibition of palmitoylation or removal of the nanolipoprotein particles, used as membrane substitute, reduced the binding affinities of ER66 and ER46 to 17β-estradiol. Moreover, ER66 and ER46 bound differentially with some estrogen receptor agonists and antagonists, and phytoestrogens. In particular, the classical estrogen receptor antagonist, ICI 182,780, had a higher affinity for ER66 than ER46. In summary, the present study defines the binding affinities for human estrogen receptor-α isoforms, and demonstrates that ER66 and ER46 show characteristics of mERs. The present data also indicates that palmitoylation and membrane insertion of mERs are important for proper receptor conformation allowing 17β-estradiol binding. The differential binding of ER66 and ER46 with certain compounds substantiates the prospect of developing mER-selective drugs.

Transactivation Function-1-Mediated Partial Agonist Activity of Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator Requires Homo-Dimerization of the Estrogen Receptor α Ligand Binding Domain.

Project description:The isolation of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) cDNA was successful around 30 years ago. The characteristics of ERα protein have been examined from various aspects, primarily through in vitro cell culture studies, but more recently using in vivo experimental models. There remains, however, some uncharacterized ERα functionalities. In particular, the mechanism of partial agonist activity of selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) that involves control of the N-terminal transcription function of ERα, termed AF-1, is still an unsolved ERα functionality. We review the possible mechanism of SERM-dependent regulation of ERα AF-1-mediated transcriptional activity, which includes the role of helix 12 of ERα ligand binding domain (LBD) for SERM-dependent AF-1 regulation. In addition, we describe a specific portion of the LBD that associates with blocking AF-1 activity with an additional role of the F-domain in mediating SERM activity.

Synthesis of biphenyl proteomimetics as estrogen receptor-alpha coactivator binding inhibitors.

Project description:A novel series of biphenyl proteomimetic compounds were designed as estrogen receptor-alpha (ER(alpha)) coactivator binding inhibitors. Synthesis was accomplished through a convergent approach, employing Suzuki coupling chemistry to ligate the individual modular units. Initial biological results support the ability of these compounds to compete for the ER(alpha) coactivator binding groove.

PROTAC Degrader of Estrogen Receptor α Targeting DNA-Binding Domain in Breast Cancer.

Project description:PROteolysis-TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are a powerful class of drugs that selectively degrade the proteins of interest (POIs) through cellular ubiquitination mechanisms. Estrogen receptor α (ERα) plays a vital role in the pathogenesis and treatment of breast cancer. In this work, the DNA-binding domain (DBD) of ERα was selected as the target to avoid drug resistance caused by the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of ERα. The estrogen response element (ERE), a natural DNA sequence binding with DBD of ERα, was chosen as a recognized unit of PROTAC. Therefore, we designed a nucleic acid-conjugated PROTAC, ERE-PROTAC, via a click reaction, in which the ERE sequence recruits ERα and the typical small molecule VH032 recruits the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) E3 ligase. The proposed ERE-PROTAC showed to efficiently and reversibly degrade ERα in different breast cancer cells by targeting the DBD, indicating its potential to overcome the current resistance caused by LBD mutations.

Rsk2 allosterically activates estrogen receptor alpha by docking to the hormone-binding domain.

Project description:We describe a novel mechanism for transcriptional regulation, in which docking of p90 ribosomal S6 kinase 2 (Rsk2) to the hormone-binding domain (HBD) of estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) induces a conformational change that enhances the transcriptional activation function contained in the HBD. A constitutively active mutant of Rsk2 specifically enhances ERalpha-mediated transcription by phosphorylation of Ser167 in ERalpha and by physically associating with residues 326-394 of the ERalpha HBD. The anti-estrogen 4-hydroxytamoxifen blocks Rsk2-mediated activation of ERalpha, by inducing a conformation of ERalpha in which the Rsk2 docking site is masked. Transcriptional activation and docking are specific for ERalpha and do not occur with the related isoform, ERbeta. ERalpha phosphorylation, docking and transcriptional activation are regulated by the Rsk2 N-terminal kinase domain. The allosteric regulation of a target protein, independent of phosphorylation, may be paradigmatic of a general function for protein kinase docking sites.
