Project description:Analysis of MCF-7 cells treated for 4h with Ethanol, Estradiol (E2), Dexamethasone (Dex), or Estradiol + Dexamethasone (E2 + Dex) In estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer (BC), high tumor glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression has been associated with a relatively poor outcome. In contrast, using a meta-analysis of several genomic datasets, here we find that tumor GR mRNA expression is associated with improved ER+ relapse-free survival (RFS) (independently of progesterone receptor (PR) expression). To understand the mechanism by which GR expression is associated with a better ER+ BC outcome, the global effect of GR-mediated transcriptional activation in ER+ BC cells was studied. Analysis of GR chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) in ER+/GR+ MCF-7 cells revealed that upon co-activation of GR and ER, GR chromatin association became enriched at proximal promoter regions. Furthermore, following ER activation, increased association of GR was observed at ER, FOXO, and AP1 response elements. In addition, it was determined that ER associated with GR response elements, suggesting that ER and GR interact in a complex. Co-activation of GR and ER resulted in increased expression (relative to ER activation alone) of transcripts that encode proteins promoting cellular differentiation (e.g. KDM4B, VDR) and inhibiting Wnt-signaling (IGFBP4). Finally, expression of these individual pro-differentiation genes was associated with significantly improved RFS in ER+ BC patients. Together, these data demonstrate that the co-expression and subsequent activity of tumor cell GR and ER contribute to the less aggressive natural history of early-stage BC by coordinating the altered expression of genes favoring differentiation. Four treatment samples (Vehicle V, Dex D, E2, or Dex+E2). Three biological replicate experiments per sample. Vehicle sample is Ethanol control.

Project description:Aberrant activation of the forkhead protein FOXA1 is observed in advanced hormone-related cancers. However, to date, key mediators of high FOXA1 signaling remain elusive. We demonstrate that ectopic high FOXA1 (H-FOXA1) expression promotes estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer (BC) metastasis in a xenograft mouse model. Mechanistically, H-FOXA1 reprograms ER-chromatin binding to elicit a core gene signature (CGS) and an ER-dependent secretome highly enriched in ER+ endocrine-resistant (EndoR) cells. ER+ BC MCF7-parental (P) cells treated with estrogen deprivation or estrogen, and with doxycycline (Dox)-inducible FOXA1 overexpression were used in this study. We found that a majority of the lost or retained ER binding induced by H-FOXA1 overlapped with the ER binding sites in P cells induced by estrogen vs. tamoxifen treatment. The lost ER binding sites were also significantly enriched for the ER binding under E2 vs. ED, which corresponds to 11% of the total E2-stimulated ER binding, suggesting that H-FOXA1 induces a loss of selective E2-stimulated ER binding sites. In addition, we found that the proportion of H-FOXA1-induced ER-loss regions were significantly enriched for the unique ER binding sites in P vs. tamoxifen-resistant (TamR) cells, yet no enrichment of the ER-gain regions was observed in the unique ER binding in TamR vs. P cells. Our findings uncover H-FOXA1-induced ER reprogramming driving EndoR and metastasis, possibly via a H-FOXA1/ER-dependent secretome that warrants further studies to clarify its involvement in disease progression of ER+ metastatic breast cancer.

Project description:Estrogens play an important role in breast cancer (BC) development and progression, where the two isoforms of the estrogen receptor (ER? and ER?) are generally co-expressed and mediate the effects of these hormones in cancer cells. ER? has been suggested to exert an antagonist role toward the oncogenic activities of ER?, and for this reason it is considered an oncosuppressor. As clinical evidence regarding a prognostic role for this receptor subtype in hormone-responsive BC is still limited and conflicting, more knowledge is required on the biological functions of ER? in cancer cells. We described previously the ER? and ER? interactomes of BC cells, identifying specific and distinct patterns of protein interactions for the two receptors. In particular, we identified factors involved in mRNA splicing and maturation as important components of both ER? and ER? pathways. Guided by these findings, we investigated here in depth the differences in the early transcriptional events and RNA splicing patterns induced in ER? vs ER?+ER? cells, by expressing ER? in ER?+ human BC MCF-7 cells. High-throughput mRNA sequencing was then performed in both cell lines after stimulation with 17b-estradiol, and the results obtained were compared.

Project description:In this study, we examined the effect of inorganic arsenic (iAs) on the estrogen response (E2) in MCF-7 cells that are estrogen receptor positive/progesterone receptor positive (ER+/PR+). Understanding the changes in the transcriptomic response after iAs exposure and the retention of such responses during recovery from iAs exposure can identify driver mechanisms of breast cancer progression and improve therapies for patients with ER+ cancers exposed to iAs.

Project description:Estrogen receptor-α (ERα) is an important driver of breast cancer and is the target for hormonal therapies, anti-estrogens and drugs that limit estrogen biosynthesis (aromatase inhibitors). Mutations in the ESR1 gene identified in metastatic breast cancer provide a potential mechanism for acquired resistance to hormone therapies. We have used CRISPR-Cas9 mediated genome editing in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line, generating MCF-7-Y537S. MCF-7-Y537S cells encode a wild-type (tyrosine 537) and a mutant (serine 537) allele. Growth of the line is estrogen-independent and expression of ERα target genes is elevated in the absence of estrogen. ER ChIP-seq was carried out to map global ERα binding sites in the presence and absence of estrogen. RNA-seq following estrogen treatment was used for gene expression analysis. We show that expression of ER target genes and ER recruitment to ER binding regions is similar in MCF-7 and MCF-7-Y537S cells, except that ER recruitment to DNA and expression of ER target genes is frequently elevated in the absence of estrogen. Hormone depleted MCF7 Luc or Y537S cells were treated with 10nM E2 or ethanol, as vehicle control, for 8 hours, with 3 replicates (2 replicates for Y537S + E2). RNA-seq was carried out using Illumina Hiseq 2500.

Project description:JMJD2B is expressed in a high proportion of human breast tumors, and the expression levels significantly correlate with estrogen receptor (ER) positivity. To assess the effect of JMJD2B depletion on the ER signaling pathway, we performed genome-wide gene expression analysis using the Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST array. RNA was extracted from steroid-depleted control MCF-7 cells (control E2(-)), control MCF-7 cells treated with E2 (control E2(+)), steroid-depleted JMJD2B-depleted MCF-7 cells (siJ2B E2(-)), and JMJD2B-depleted MCF-7 cells treated with E2 (siJ2B E2(+)).

Project description:MCF-7:PF is a a new in vitro model of antihormone resistant breast cancer that exhibits the characteristics of acquired tamoxifen resistance in vivo. It is well known that estrogen (E2) induces apoptosis in long-term estrogen-deprived breast cancer cells, MCF-7:5C (PubMed References PMID:15862958, PMID:16333030). MCF-7:PF was derived from MCF-7:5C through inhibition of c-Src, which blocks E2-induced apoptosis, coverts E2 responses from apoptosis to proliferation. MCF-7:PF cell growth is stimulated by E2 and SERMS in an ERα-dependent manner. Abstract: A c-Src inhibitor blocks estrogen (E2)-induced stress and converts E2 responses from inducing apoptosis to stimulating growth in E2-deprived breast cancer cells. A resulting cell line, MCF-7:PF, is reprogrammed with features of functional estrogen receptor (ER) and over-expression of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor beta (IGF-1Rβ). We addressed the question of whether the antiestrogenic selective ER modulator 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT) could target ER to prevent E2-stimulated growth in MCF-7:PF cells. Unexpectedly, 4-OHT stimulated cell growth in an ER-dependent manner. However, unlike E2, 4-OHT suppressed classic ER-target genes as does the pure antiestrogen ICI 182,780, even during growth stimulation. Chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay indicated that 4-OHT did not recruit ER or nuclear receptor coactivator 3 (SRC3) to the promoter of ER-target gene, pS2. Paradoxically, 4-OHT reduced total IGF-1Rβ but increased phosphorylation of IGF-1Rβ, which was responsible for the activation of the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinases (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway. Mechanistic studies revealed that 4-OHT rapidly activated the non-genomic pathway through ER, but other membrane-associated proteins such as IGF-1Rβ and c-Src participated. Furthermore, 4-OHT was more potent than E2 to up-regulate membrane remodeling molecules and activated focal adhesion molecules to promote cell growth. Therefore, disruption of membrane-associated signaling completely abolished 4-OHT-stimulated cell growth, but not E2-stimulated cell growth. Despite continued suppression of classic ER-target genes, 4-OHT activated the complex network of cytoskeleton remodeling and extracellular matrix-related signaling which facilitated 4-OHT-stimulated cell growth. This study is the first to recapitulate a cellular model in vitro of acquired tamoxifen (TAM) resistance developed in athymic mice in vivo.

Project description:Estrogens are an important regulator of breast cancer disease progression, and they function by binding the estrogen receptor--alpha (ER-alpha) to regulate changes in gene expression. ER-alpha is able to both activate and inhibit gene transcription in a gene-specific manner and do so by binding target DNA sequences and recruiting coactivators and corepressors which can modulate the chromatin environment. Silencing mediator of retinoic acid and thyroid hormone receptor (SMRT) is known to act as coactivator and corepressor of ER-alpha in a gene-specific manner. We used a microarray analysis to examine the gene expression changes that occur when the coregulator SMRT is depleted from the ER-alpha positive MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. We sought to determine the genes that are regulated by depletion of the coregulator SMRT using Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array. To this end, we transfected MCF-7 cells with control siRNA or SMRT-targeting siRNA for 48 h and treated for an additional 4 or 24 h with vehicle (0.1% EtOH) or 1 nM estradiol (E2). A total of 24 samples were analyzed, separated into eight groups each with three experimental replicates in each group, siControl-Veh 4 h, siControl -E2 4 h, siSMRT-Veh 4 h, siSMRT-E2 4 h, siControl-Veh 24 h, siControl-E2 24 h, siSMRT-Veh 24 h, siSMRT-E2 24 h.
