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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Genome-wide reprogramming of the chromatin landscape underlies endocrine therapy resistance in breast cancer

Project description:The estrogen receptor alpha (ERa) drives the growth of two-thirds of all breast cancers. Endocrine therapy impinges on estrogen-induced ERa activation to block tumor growth. However, half of ERa-positive breast cancers are tolerant or acquire endocrine therapy resistance. Here we demonstrate that breast cancer cells undergo genome-wide reprogramming of their chromatin landscape, defined by epigenomic maps and chromatin openness, as they acquire resistance to endocrine therapy. This reveals a role for the Notch pathway while excluding classical ERa signaling. In agreement, blocking Notch signaling, using gamma-secretase inhibitors, or targeting its downstream gene PBX1 abrogates growth of endocrine therapy-resistant breast cancer cells. Moreover Notch signaling through PBX1 directs a transcriptional program predictive of tumor outcome and endocrine therapy response. Comparing histone modifications (H3K4me2 and H3K36me3), chromatin openness (FAIRE) and PBX1 binding between endocrine therapy sensitive MCF7 and resistant MCF7-LTED cells.

DOT1 Like Histone Lysine Methyltransferase (DOT1L) and Menin 1 (MEN1) interaction proteomics in breast cancer cell nuclei

Project description:Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα) is a ligand-inducible transcription factor that mediates estrogen signaling in hormone-responsive breast cancer (BC) and is the primary target of specific anticancer therapies that although effective can generate resistance phenomena that represents a crucial problem in clinical management of patients affected by this disease. DOT1 Like Histone Lysine Methyltransferase (DOT1L) and Menin 1 (MEN1) have been identified as functional component of the ERα mechanism of action. To investigate the involvement of DOT1L and MEN1 in mediating ERα actions in hormone-responsive and endocrine-resistant BC, interaction proteomics was applied to map the DOT1l and MEN1 nuclear interacting partners in MCF7 breast cancer cell nuclei in order to the identifiy new possible therapeutic targets for a more effective pharmacological treatment of endocrine therapy-resistant tumors.

Estrogen Receptor alpha and Histone Lysine Methyltransferase DOT1L chromatin bound interactome

Project description:Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα) is a ligand-inducible transcription factor that mediates estrogen signaling in hormone-responsive breast cancer (BC) and is the primary target of specific anticancer therapies. Although ERα blockade with these drugs is effective, the development of a resistance to treatment represents the key problem in clinical management of patients affected by this disease. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying ERα action in BC cells may help the identification of new therapeutic targets for more effective pharmacological treatment of endocrine therapy-resistant tumors. We recently discovered the epigenetic enzyme DOT1L (DOT1 Like Histone Lysine Methyltransferase) as a novel nuclear partner of ERα in BC cells. To investigate the involvement of DOT1L in mediating ERα actions in hormone-responsive and endocrine-resistant BC, physical and functional interaction between these two molecules on chromatin was mapped by Chromatin Immunoprecipitation coupled to Mass Spectrometry (ChIP-MS).

Dynamic changes during adaptation to estrogen deprivation in MCF7 cell line

Project description:Endocrine therapies targeting the proliferative effect of 17β-estradiol (17βE2) through estrogen receptor α (ERα) are the most effective systemic treatment of ERα-positive breast cancer. However, most breast tumors initially responsive to these therapies develop resistance through a molecular mechanism that is not yet fully understood. The long-term estrogen-deprived (LTED) MCF7 cell model has been proposed to recapitulate acquired resistance to aromatase inhibitors (AIs) in postmenopausal women. To elucidate this resistance, genomic, transcriptomic and molecular data were integrated into the time course of MCF7-LTED adaptation. Dynamic and widespread genomic changes were observed, including amplification of the ESR1 locus consequently linked to an increase in ERα. Dynamic transcriptomic profiles were also observed that correlated significantly with genomic changes and were influenced by transcription factors known to be involved in acquired resistance or cell proliferation (e.g. IRF1 and E2F1, respectively) but, notably, not by canonical ERα transcriptional function. Consistently, at the molecular level, activation of growth factor signaling pathways by EGFR/ERBB/AKT and a switch from phospho-Ser118 (pS118)- to pS167-ERα were observed during MCF7-LTED adaptation. Evaluation of relevant clinical settings identified significant associations between MCF7-LTED and breast tumor transcriptome profiles that characterize ERα-negative status, early response to letrozole and recurrence after tamoxifen treatment. This study proposes a mechanism for acquired resistance to estrogen deprivation that is coordinated across biological levels and independent of canonical ERα function. LTED (long term estrogen deprived) cell line was generated from MCF-7 cells by long-term culture under estrogen deprivated conditions. And RNA samples were obtained after 3, 15, 30, 90, 120, 150 and 180 days.

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.

Drug specific epigenetic reprogramming leads to increased cellular invasion in ERα positive breast cancer via de novo cholesterol biosynthesis.

Project description:Endocrine therapy resistance remains a critical problem in the treatment of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) breast cancer. Endocrine therapies target ERα via different modes of action. Drug resistance involves drug specific remodeling of the transcriptional and regulatory landscape. Using epigenomics and transcriptomics, we demonstrate that resistance to aromatase inhibitors (AI) induces phenotypical changes through epigenetic activation of cholesterol biosynthesis (CB) and keratin 80. Epigenetic activation is stable and involves both large topological domains and punctuated activation of single enhancers and super-enhancers. Specialized cancer cells expressing high levels of keratin 80 lead invasion through the extracellular matrix. Strikingly, we demonstrate that anti-cholesterol strategies can effectively arrest breast cancer invasion. Our work identifies a robust strategy to target resistant invasive breast cancer.

Growth Factor Stimulation Induces a Distinct ERα Cistrome Underlying Breast Cancer Endocrine Resistance

Project description:Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) expression in breast cancer is predictive of response to endocrine therapy, however resistance is common in ERα-positive tumors that over-express the growth factor receptor ERBB2. Even in the absence of estrogen, ERα can be activated by growth factors including the epidermal growth factor (EGF). EGF induces a transcriptional program distinct from estrogen, however the mechanism of the stimulus-specific response is unknown. Here we show that the EGF-induced ERα genomic targets, its cistrome, are distinct from those induced by estrogen in a process dependent on the transcription factor AP-1. The EGF-induced ERα cistrome specifically regulates genes found over-expressed in ERBB2-positive human breast cancers. This provides a potential molecular explanation for the endocrine therapy resistance seen in ERα-positive breast cancers that over-express ERBB2. These results suggest a central role for ERα in hormone-refractory breast tumors dependent on growth factor pathway activation and favors the development of therapeutic strategies completely antagonizing ERα as opposed to blocking its estrogen responsiveness alone.

ChIP-seq of ZEB1 in MCF7-V breast carcinoma cell line transduced with a doxycyline-inducible construct to express ZEB1

Project description:The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is implicated in the metastatic spread of breast cancer cells. EMT transcription factors (TF) regulate different stages of EMT states. In breast cancers, estrogen receptor α (ERα) maintains the epithelial characteristics of breast tumors and is indispensable for efficient endocrine therapy. In this study we investigate whether and how ZEB1, an EMT-TF affects ERα signaling at early stages of EMT and metastasis.

Estrogen-induced lncRNA, LINC02568, promotes estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer development and drug resistance through both in trans- and in cis-mechanisms

Project description:Estrogen and estrogen receptor (ER) signaling play critical roles in the development of ER-positive breast cancer, and endocrine therapy is the frontline treatment for ER-positive breast cancer patients. However, the primary and acquired resistance to endocrine therapy including tamoxifen and fulvestrant remains as the major challenge in the clinic. Here, we identified an estrogen-induced lncRNA, LINC02568, through transcriptomic analysis, which is highly expressed in ER-positive breast cancer. LINC02568 is functional important in ER-positive breast cancer cell growth in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo as well as endocrine therapy resistance. Mechanically, we demonstrated that LINC02568 regulates, in trans, estrogen/ERα-induced gene transcriptional activation by sponging miR-1233-5p to stabilize ESR1 mRNA in the cytoplasm. Meanwhile, LINC02568 contributes to tumor-specific pH homeostasis in breast cancer cells by regulating CA12 in cis in the nucleus. The dual functions of LINC02568 together contribute to breast cancer cell growth and tumorigenesis as well as endocrine therapy resistance. Antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) targeting LINC02568 significantly inhibits ER-positive breast cancer cell growth in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo as well as resensitize tamoxifen-resistant cells to tamoxifen. Furthermore, combination treatment with ASO targeting LINC02568 and tamoxifen exhibits synergistic effect on tumor growth. Taken together, our findings revealed dual mechanisms of LINC02568 in regulating ERα signaling and pH homeostasis in ER-positive breast cancer, and indicated that targeting LINC02568 might represent a potential therapeutic avenue in clinic.
