Genome-wide Binding Site Mapping of Estrogen Receptor alpha and c-MYC in Breast Cancer Cells

ABSTRACT: Estrogens are steroid hormones that play critical roles in the initiation, development, and metastasis of breast and uterine cancers. The estrogen (E2) response in breast cancer cells is predominantly mediated by the estrogen receptor-alpha (ER alpha), a ligand-activated transcription factor. ER alpha regulates transcription of target genes through direct binding to its cognate recognition sites, known as estrogen response elements (EREs), or by modulating the activity of other DNA-bound transcription factors at alternative DNA sequences. The proto-oncogene c-myc is upregulated by ERÂ¦Ã in response to E2 and encodes a transcription factor, c-MYC, which regulates a cascade of gene targets whose products mediate cellular transformation. This study aims at mapping the binding sites of these two transcription factors (ER alpha and c-MYC) in one ER alpha positive breast cancer cell line (MCF7 cell line). Keywords: ChIP-Chip Analysis This series contains ChIP-on-Chip data sets for two transcription factors (ER alpha and c-MYC) and control samples (INPUT). All the experiments are done in triplicates. MCF7 Cells were E2-deprived for 3 days and then were treated with 10 nM E2 (45 minutes and 2 hours for mapping ER alpha and c-MYC binding sites, respectively) at 80% confluence.

We demonstrate an integrated approach to the study of a transcriptional regulatory cascade involved in the progression of breast cancer and we identify a protein associated with disease progression. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation and genome tiling arrays, whole genome mapping of transcription factor-binding sites was combined with gene expression profiling to identify genes involved in the proliferative response to estrogen (E2). Using RNA interference, selected ERalpha and c-MYC gene targe ...[more]

Project description:Estrogen receptors play critical roles in both the normal physiological, and disease states of numerous tissues, including breast and uterus. Estrogen receptor alpha (ER) can activate or repress the expression of target genes upon estrogen stimulation. In order to better understand the transcriptional network of ER in breast and uterus, we generated genome wide maps ofM-BM- ER binding sites (ERBS) and gene expression profiles in breast cancer cells (MCF7 and T47D) and uterine cancer cells (ECC1 and Ishikawa) through ChIP-Seq and microarray techniques. Surprisingly, we identified large scale differences in the numbers of ERBS between these cell lines when treated with E2 (17-M-NM-2 estradiol). Besides identification of common and unique ERBS between breast and uterine cancer cell types., our data also suggest that both cell types could recruit a large set of common co-operating transcription factors (Co-TFs) and a few unique Co-TFs as well. Besides the genes that are commonly regulatedM-BM- between the different cell lines, there are a number of genes that are differentially regulated in different cell types. Gene pathway analyses of E2 target genes suggest that ER regulates many biological pathways and processes in both tissue-type dependent and independent manners. Our results showed that cell lines derived from same tissue display a greater similarity for both profiles of ERBS and gene expression, and that the differential profiles of ER and preferential recruitment of some Co-TFs are the main determinants for the differential regulation of E2 signaling in breast and uterine cancer cells. In order to explore common and distinctive features of ERM-NM-1 (estrogen receptor alpha) binding profiles between breast and uterus, we generated eight ChIP-Seq libraries for the four cell lines (MCF7, T47D, ECC1 and Ishikawa) under two different treatments (E2, ethanol). In addition, we generated four control libraries for the four cell lines. For all treatment libraries, we generated about 7-12 million unique tags each. ER antibody catalog number is (Santa Cruz,sc-543).

Project description:Estrogen receptor-{alpha} (ER{alpha}) and its ligand estradiol play critical roles in breast cancer growth and are important therapeutic targets for this disease. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-on-chip, ligand-bound ER{alpha} was recently found to function as a master transcriptional regulator via binding to many cis-acting sites genome-wide. Here, we used an alternative technology (ChIP cloning) and identified 94 ER{alpha} target loci in breast cancer cells. The ER{alpha}-binding sites contained both classic estrogen response elements and nonclassic binding sequences, showed specific transcriptional activity in reporter gene assay, and interacted with the key transcriptional regulators, including RNA polymerase II and nuclear receptor coactivator-3. The great majority of the binding sites were located in either introns or far distant to coding regions of genes. Forty-three percent of the genes that lie within 50 kb to an ER{alpha}-binding site were regulated by estradiol. Most of these genes are novel estradiol targets encoding receptors, signaling messengers, and ion binders/transporters. mRNA profiling in estradiol-treated breast cancer cell lines and tissues revealed that these genes are highly ER{alpha} responsive both in vitro and in vivo. Among estradiol-induced genes, Wnt11 was found to increase cell survival by significantly reducing apoptosis in breast cancer cells. Taken together, we showed novel genomic binding sites of ER{alpha} that regulate a novel set of genes in response to estradiol in breast cancer. Our findings suggest that at least a subset of these genes, including Wnt11, may play important in vivo and in vitro biological roles in breast cancer. Experiment Overall Design: This Series currently contains the gene expression data accompanying Zhihong Lin et al. Cancer Research 67,5017-5024(2007). MCF7 cells were treated with vehicle or E2 at a concentration of 10E-9 mol/L for 3 and 6 h. All experiments were performed in triplicate.
