Bioinformatic analysis of Protein Disulfide Isomerase A1 (PDIA1)-associated pathways towards developing stratified breast cancer therapies

ABSTRACT: The oxidoreductase protein disulfide isomerase A1 (PDIA1) functions as a cofactor for many transcription factors including the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), the NF-κΒ, the nuclear factor erythroid 2-like 2 (NRF2) and regulates the protein stability of the tumor suppressor p53. Taking this into account we hypothesized that PDIA1, by differentially modulating the gene expression of diverse subsets of genes in the ERα positive versus the ERα negative breast cancer cells, modifies dissimilar pathways in the two types of breast cancer. This hypothesis was investigated using RNA-seq data from PDIA1-silenced MCF-7 (ERα+) and MDA-MB-231 (ERα-) breast cancer cells treated with either interferon gamma (IFN-γ) or etoposide (ETO) and the obtained data were further analyzed using a variety of bioinformatic tools alongside clinical relevance assessment via Kaplan-Meier patient survival curves. The results highlighted the dual role of PDIA1 in suppressing carcinogenesis in the ERα+ breast cancer patients by negatively regulating the response to reactive oxygen species and promoting carcinogenesis by inducing cell cycle progression. In the ERα- breast cancer patients PDIA1 prevents tumor development by regulating the NF-kappa B and p53 by modulating cell migration and inducing breast cancer progression through control of cytokine signaling and the immune response. The findings reported in this study shed light on the differential pathways regulating carcinogenesis in the ERα+ and ERα- breast cancer patients and could help identify therapeutic targets selectively effective in the ERα+ versus the ERα- patients.

P21-activated kinase group II small compound inhibitor GNE-2861 perturbs estrogen receptor alpha signaling and restores tamoxifen-sensitivity in breast cancer cells

Project description:Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) is highly expressed in most breast cancers. Consequently, ERα modulators, such as tamoxifen, are successful in breast cancer treatment, although tamoxifen resistance is commonly observed. While tamoxifen resistance may be caused by altered ERα signaling, the molecular mechanisms regulating ERα signaling and tamoxifen resistance are not entirely clear. Here, we found that PAK4 expression was consistently correlated to poor patient outcome in endocrine treated and tamoxifen-only treated breast cancer patients. Importantly, while PAK4 overexpression promoted tamoxifen resistance in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, pharmacological treatment with a group II PAK (PAK4, 5, 6) inhibitor, GNE-2861, sensitized tamoxifen resistant MCF-7/LCC2 breast cancer cells to tamoxifen. Mechanistically, we identified a regulatory positive feedback loop, where ERα bound to the PAK4 gene, thereby promoting PAK4 expression, while PAK4 in turn stabilized the ERα protein, activated ERα transcriptional activity and ERα target gene expression. Further, PAK4 phosphorylated ERα-Ser305, a phosphorylation event needed for the PAK4 activation of ERα-dependent transcription. In conclusion, PAK4 may be a suitable target for perturbing ERα signaling and tamoxifen resistance in breast cancer patients.

Deficiency in tumor suppressor p53 is required for doxorubicin induced transcriptional upregulation of NF-kB target genes in human breast cancer

Project description:NF-kB has been linked to doxorubicin-based chemotherapy resistance in breast cancer patients. NF-kB nuclear translocation and DNA binding in doxorubicin treated-breast cancer cells have been extensively examined, however its functional consequences in terms the spectrum of NF-kB -dependent genes expressed and, thus, the impact on tumour cell behaviour are unclear. We hypothesized that NF-kB gene expression profile induced by doxorubicin might be different among breast cancer cells and tumors. Doxorubicin treatment in the p53-mutated MDA-MB-231 cells resulted in NF-kB driven-gene transcription demonstrated by gene expression microarrays. Selected genes (ICAM-1, CXCL1, IL8) related with invasion, metastasis and chemoresistance expression were confirmed by RT-PCR in a subset of additional doxorubicin-treated cells and fresh primary human breast tumors. In both systems, p53-deficient background correlated with the activation of these NF-kB targeted genes. Overexpression of p53WT in the mutant p53 MDA-MB-231 cells impaired NF-kB driven transcription induced by doxorubicin. Moreover, tumors with a p53 deficient background and nuclear NF-kB /p65 expression correlated with reduced disease free-survival. This study supports that tumor molecular profiles for doxorubicin driven NF-kB-response are likely to exist. A link between p53 deficiency and the presence of active transcriptionally NF-kB could favour an aggressive behaviour and might have implications for doxorubicin-based chemotherapy in breast tumors exhibiting aberrant p53 activity 12 samples were analyzed: controls (n=3); Doxorubicin treated (n=3); MLN120B treated (n=3); MLN120B + Doxorubicin treated (n=3)

LncRNA AGPG confers endocrine resistance in breast cancer by promoting E2F1 activity

Project description:Resistance to endocrine therapy represents a major threat to patients with estrogen receptor α positive (ERα+) breast cancer. The development of resistance is mainly through activating E2F signaling. However, the mechanisms that govern E2F1 activity in these resistant cells remain poorly understood. Here, we identify Actin Gamma 1 Pseudogene 25 (AGPG) as a lncRNA whose expression is driven by epigenomic activation of enhancer in endocrine resistant breast cancer cells. High expression of AGPG is associated with poor survival of ERα+ breast cancer, especially in patients receiving endocrine therapy. Stable knockdown and overexpression of AGPG demonstrate that AGPG promotes endocrine resistance, cell cycle progression, cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. AGPG functions by direct binding purine rich element binding protein α (PURα), a transcription factor repressing E2F1 signaling and sensitized ERα+ breast cancer cells to endocrine therapy. Via binding to the region responsible for PURα/E2F1 interaction in PURα protein, AGPG releases E2F1 from PURα, leading to activation of E2F1 signaling in ERα+ breast cancer cells. Clinically, E2F1 target genes are strongly correlated with AGPG and PURα expression. Thus, our study reveals AGPG as a promising biomarker and potential therapeutic target in breast cancer.

ERα over-expression does not accelerate development of p53-deficient mammary tumors in mice [RNA-Seq]

Project description:About 75% of all breast cancers express the nuclear hormone receptor oestrogen receptor α (ERα). However, the majority of mammary tumors from genetically engineered mouse models are ERα-negative. To model ERα-positive breast cancer in mice, we exogenously introduced expression of mouse and human ERα in an existing p53-deficiency driven breast cancer mouse model. After initial ERα expression during development of the mammary gland, expression was reduced or lost in adult glands and p53-deficient mammary tumors. ChIP-sequencing analysis of primary mouse mammary epithelial cells (MMECs) derived from these models, in which expression of the ERα constructs was induced in vitro, confirmed interaction of ERα with the DNA. In human breast and endometrial cancer, the pioneer factor FOXA1 is known to be essential to facilitate ERα/DNA binding. Surprisingly, the ERα binding sites identified in primary MMECs, but also in mouse mammary gland and uterus, showed a high enrichment of ERE motifs, but were devoid of Forkhead motifs. Furthermore, exogenous introduction of FOXA1 and GATA3 in ERα-expressing MMECs was not sufficient to promote ERα-responsiveness of these cells. Together, this suggests that species-specific differences in ERα-cistromes between mouse and human are dictated by the DNA sequence, resulting in ERα-dependencies in mice that are not FOXA1 driven and potentially not tumorigenic. These species-specific differences in ERα-biology can limit the use of mouse models in ERα-positive breast cancer research.

A super enhancer-controlled BRD4/ERα-RET-ERα positive feedback loop promotes ERα-positive breast cancer [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Dysregulated estrogen and estrogen receptor (ER)-induced gene transcription is tightly associated with estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-positive breast carcinogenesis. ERα-occupied enhancers, particularly super enhancers, have been suggested to play a vital role in such transcriptional events. However, the landscape of ERα-occupied super enhancers (ERSEs) as well as key super enhancer-associated genes remain to be fully characterized. Here, we defined the landscape of ERSEs in MCF7, a ERα-positive breast cancer cell line, and demonstrated that bromodomain protein BRD4 is a master regulator of the transcriptional activation of ERSE and cognate ERα-target genes. Furthermore, RET, a member of the tyrosine protein kinase family of proteins, was identified to be a key target gene of BRD4-regulated ERSEs, which is vital for estrogen/ ERα-induced gene transcriptional activation and malignant phenotypes through activating the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK-p90RSK-ERα phosphorylation cascade. Accordingly, combination therapy with BRD4 and RET inhibitors exhibited synergistic effects on suppressing ERα-positive breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, our data uncovered the critical role of a super enhancer-associated BRD4/ERα-RET-ERα positive feedback loop in ERα-positive breast cancer, and targeting components in this loop will provide new therapeutic avenue for treating ERα-positive breast cancer in the clinic.
