Estrogen-independent molecular actions of mutant estrogen receptor alpha in endometrial cancer [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) mutations have been identified in hormone therapy resistant breast cancer and primary endometrial cancer. Analyses in breast cancer suggests that mutant ESR1 exhibits estrogen independent activity. In endometrial cancer, ESR1 mutations are associated with worse outcomes and less obesity, however experimental investigation of these mutations has not been performed. Using a unique CRISPR/Cas9 strategy, we introduced the D538G mutation, a common endometrial cancer mutation that alters the ligand binding domain of ESR1, while epitope tagging the endogenous locus. We discovered estrogen-independent mutant ESR1 genomic binding that is significantly altered from wildtype ESR1. The D538G mutation impacted expression, including a large set of non-estrogen regulated genes, and chromatin accessibility, with most affected loci bound by mutant ESR1. Mutant ESR1 is unique from constitutive ESR1 activity as mutant-specific changes are not recapitulated with prolonged estrogen exposure. Overall, D538G mutant ESR1 confers estrogen-independent activity while causing additional regulatory changes in endometrial cancer cells that are distinct from breast cancer cells.

CRISPR-Cas9 directed modelling of estrogen receptor mutations identified in breast cancer

Project description:Estrogen receptor (ER) is the major driver of a large proportion of breast cancers, and many therapies have been designed to target it. These include anti-estrogens, which target ER directly, and aromatase inhibitors, which instead prevent the biosynthesis of estrogen in post-menopausal women. These therapies have been largely successful, but unfortunately many patients eventually succumb to resistance. A hotspot of mutations in exon 8 of ESR1, which cause the ER to be constitutively active, have been discovered in advanced breast cancer patients, and are one cause of resistance to aromatase inhibitors as well as a reduced response to anti-estrogen therapies. Since most studies in to these mutations have so far focused on the mostly commonly seen mutations, Y537S and D538G, it is important to extend our understanding to other frequently found mutations to determine whether there are intrinsic differences between them. For this purpose, CRISPR-Cas9 was used in order to model the following mutations found in exon 8 of ESR1 in breast cancer patients, L536R, Y537C, Y537S, Y537N and D538G, in MCF7 cells, with between two to four clones of each mutation generated. Growth in the absence of estrogen and in the presence of various SERDs was tested to investigate differences in sensitivity between mutations. RNA-seq was carried out in the ESR1 mutant MCF7 lines under full medium conditions to look for gene expression changes compared to WT, shared between all mutations, or the possibility of differences between specific mutations, which were not due to the fact that the ESR1 mutant lines can grow in the absence of estrogen. The results of which should provide great insight into potential alternative genes or pathways, which could be targeted in patients harbouring these mutations.

Allele-specific gene regulation, phenotypes, and therapeutic vulnerabilities in estrogen receptor alpha mutant endometrial cancer (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Activating estrogen receptor alpha (ER) mutations are present in primary endometrial and metastatic breast cancers, promoting estrogen-independent activation of the receptor. Functional characterizations in breast cancer have established unique molecular and phenotypic consequences of the receptor, yet the impact of ER mutations in endometrial cancer has not been fully explored. In this study, we used CRISPR-Cas9 to model the clinically prevalent ER-Y537S mutation and compared results to ER-D538G to discover allele-specific differences between ER mutations in endometrial cancer. We found that constitutive activity of mutant ER resulted in changes in the expression of thousands of genes, stemming from combined alterations to ER binding and chromatin accessibility. The unique gene expression programs resulted in ER mutant cells developing increased cancer associated phenotypes, including migration, invasion, anchorage independent growth, and growth in vivo. To uncover potential treatment strategies, we identified ER associated proteins via Rapid Immunoprecipitation and Mass Spectrometry of Endogenous Proteins (RIME) and interrogated two candidates, CDK9 and NCOA3. Inhibition of these regulatory protein resulted in decreased growth and migration, representing potential novel treatment strategies for ER mutant endometrial cancer. Taken together, this study provides insight into ER mutant activity in endometrial cancer and identifies potential therapies for women with ER mutant endometrial cancer.

Targeting ESR1 mutation-induced transcriptional addiction with BET inhibition

Project description:We investigated the therapeutic potential of BET inhibition to target ESR1 mutation-induced “transcriptional addiction” in ER-positive breast cancer. Our studies show that ESR1 mutant (Y537S and D538G) cells activate unique transcriptional programs that are targeted by OTX015, a BET inhibitor

Proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis of ESR1 mutant cells

Project description:Three quarters of all breast cancer cases express the estrogen receptor (ER, ESR1 gene), which promotes tumor growth and constitutes a direct target for endocrine therapies. ESR1 mutations have been implicated in therapy resistance in metastatic breast cancers, in particular to aromatase inhibitors. ESR1 mutations promote constitutive ER activity and affect other signaling pathways, allowing cancer cells to proliferate by employing mechanisms within and outwith direct regulation by the ER. Although subjected to extensive genetic and transcriptomic analyses, understanding of protein alterations remains poorly investigated. Towards this, we employed an integrated mass spectrometry (MS) based proteomic approach to profile the protein and phosphoprotein differences in breast cancer cell lines expressing the frequent Y537N and Y537S ER mutations. Global proteome analysis revealed enrichment of mitotic and immune signaling pathways in ER mutant cells, while phosphoprotein analysis evidenced enriched activity of proliferation associated kinases, in particular CDKs and MTOR. Integration of protein expression and phosphorylation data revealed pathway-dependent discrepancies (motility vs proliferation) that were observed at varying degrees across mutant and wt ER cells. Additionally, protein expression and phosphorylation patterns, while under different regulation, still recapitulated the estrogen-independent phenotype of ER mutant cells.
