Inhibition of O-GlcNAc transferase activates tumor-suppressor gene expression in tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cells


ABSTRACT: In this study, we probed the importance of OGT activity for the survival of Tamoxifen-sensitive (TamS) and Tamoxifen-resistant (TamR) breast cancer cells. Tamoxifen is an antagonist of estrogen receptor (ERα), a transcription factor expressed in over half of all breast cancers, and the defining characteristic of the ERα-positive disease. ERα-positive breast cancers are successfully treated with Tamoxifen; however, a significant number of patients develops Tamoxifen-resistant disease. We show here that in vitro development of Tamoxifen-resistance results in acquired sensitivity to OGT small molecule inhibitor OSMI-1. Global transcriptome profiling revealed that TamS cells adapt to OSMI-1 treatment by undergoing significant chromatin compaction. In the TamR cells, however, OGT inhibition induces ERRFI1 tumor-suppressor gene expression. ERRFI1 is an endogenous inhibitor of ERBB-signaling, while activation of the ERBB-signaling is one of the best understood mechanism for Tamoxifen-resistance. We show that ERRFI1 is selectively downregulated in ERα-positive breast cancers and breast cancers driven by ERBB2, and provide data to support that this occurs through promoter methylation. Finally, we show that increased ERRFI1 expression is associated with extended survival in patients with ERα-positive tumors (p=9.2e-8). In summary, we show that Tamoxifen-resistance is associated with acquired sensitivity to OSMI-1, and propose that this is explained in part through an epigenetic activation of the tumor-suppressor ERRFI1 in response to OSMI-1 treatment.
