Estrogen receptor α (ERα) is an important biomarker of breast cancer severity and a common therapeutic target. In response to estrogen, ERα stimulates a dynamic transcriptional program including both coding and noncoding RNAs. We generate a fine-scale map of expression dynamics by performing a temporal profiling of both messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in MCF-7 cells (an ER+ model cell line for breast cancer) in response to estrogen stimulation. We identified three primary expressio ...[more]

Project description:Estrogen receptor α (ERα) is an important biomarker of breast cancer severity and a common therapeutic target. Recent studies have demonstrated that in addition to its role in promoting proliferation, ERα also protects tumors against metastatic transformation. Current therapeutics antagonize ERα and interfere with both beneficial and detrimental signaling pathways stimulated by ERα. The goal of this study is to uncover the dynamics of coding and non-coding RNA (microRNA) expression in response to estrogen stimulation and identify potential therapeutic targets that more specifically inhibit ERα-stimulated growth and survival pathways without interfering with its protective features. To achieve this, we exposed MCF7 cells (an estrogen receptor positive model cell line for breast cancer) to estrogen and prepared a time course of paired mRNA and miRNA sequencing libraries at ten time points throughout the first 24 hours of the response to estrogen. From these data, we identified three primary expression trendsâ??transient, induced, and repressedâ??that were each enriched for genes with distinct cellular functions. Integrative analysis of paired mRNA and microRNA temporal expression profiles identified miR-503 as the strongest candidate master regulator of the estrogen response, in part through suppression of ZNF217â??an oncogene that is frequently amplified in cancer. We confirmed experimentally that miR-503 directly targets ZNF217 and that over-expression of miR-503 suppresses breast cancer cell proliferation. Overall, these data indicate that miR-503 acts as a potent estrogen-induced tumor suppressor microRNA that opposes cellular proliferation and has promise as a therapeutic for breast cancer. More generally, our work provides a systems-level framework for identifying functional interactions that shape the temporal dynamics of gene expression. Quantification of miRNAs in MCF7 cells responding to estrogen following a period of estrogen starvation. Three independent biological replicates (30 samples: 3 replicates x 10 time points) of MCF7 cells were exposed to 10nM Estradiol for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 , or 24 hours, and total RNA was extracted from the samples. Total RNA was used to generate paired RNA and miRNA sequencing. The miRNA libraries were prepared using the Bioo Scientific NextFLEX v2 library preparation kit.

Project description:The discovery that enhancers are regulated transcription units, encoding eRNAs, has raised new questions about the mechanisms of their activation. Here, we report an unexpected molecular mechanism that underlies ligand-dependent enhancer activation, based on DNA nicking to relieve torsional stress from eRNA synthesis. Using dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced binding of androgen receptor (AR) to prostate cancer cell enhancers as a model, we show rapid recruitment, within minutes, of DNA topoisomerase I (TOP1) to a large cohort of AR-regulated enhancers. Furthermore, we show that the DNA nicking activity of TOP1 is a prerequisite for robust eRNA synthesis and enhancer activation and is kinetically accompanied by the recruitment of ATR and the MRN complex, followed by additional components of DNA damage repair machinery to the AR-regulated enhancers. Together, our studies reveal a linkage between eRNA synthesis and ligand-dependent TOP1-mediated nicking - a strategy exerting quantitative effects on eRNA expression in regulating AR-bound enhancer-dependent transcriptional programs. Genome-wide binding analysis of AR, TOP1, MRE11 in prostate cancer cell line LNCaP with or without 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) treatment. Nascent RNA analysis by global nuclear run-on (GRO-seq) in LNCaP cells transfected with siRNA with or without DHT treatment. Distribution of transcriptionally engaged RNA Pol II in LNCaP cells with or without DHT treatment by precision nuclear run-on and sequencing (PRO-seq).

Project description:Three quarters of all breast cancer cases express the estrogen receptor (ER, ESR1 gene), which promotes tumor growth and constitutes a direct target for endocrine therapies. ESR1 mutations have been implicated in therapy resistance in metastatic breast cancers, in particular to aromatase inhibitors. ESR1 mutations promote constitutive ER activity and affect other signaling pathways, allowing cancer cells to proliferate by employing mechanisms within and outwith direct regulation by the ER. Although subjected to extensive genetic and transcriptomic analyses, understanding of protein alterations remains poorly investigated. Towards this, we employed an integrated mass spectrometry (MS) based proteomic approach to profile the protein and phosphoprotein differences in breast cancer cell lines expressing the frequent Y537N and Y537S ER mutations. Global proteome analysis revealed enrichment of mitotic and immune signaling pathways in ER mutant cells, while phosphoprotein analysis evidenced enriched activity of proliferation associated kinases, in particular CDKs and MTOR. Integration of protein expression and phosphorylation data revealed pathway-dependent discrepancies (motility vs proliferation) that were observed at varying degrees across mutant and wt ER cells. Additionally, protein expression and phosphorylation patterns, while under different regulation, still recapitulated the estrogen-independent phenotype of ER mutant cells.

Project description:We have previously demonstrated that endoxifen is the most important tamoxifen metabolite responsible for eliciting the anti-estrogenic effects of this drug in breast cancer cells expressing estrogen receptor-alpha. The goals of this study were to compare the gene expression profiles elicited by endoxifen to that of other anti-estrogens in MCF7 cells. We also examined the gene expression profiles elicited by various endoxifen concentrations in the presence of tamoxifen and its other primary metabolites in order to better understand the molecular contributions of endoxifen to the effects of tamoxifen. Total RNA was isolated from parental MCF7 cells following 24 hour treatments with various individual or combined ligands. All studies were conducted in replicates of 3.

Project description:Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the major green tea polyphenol, has been a subject of global interest as a potential chemopreventive or chemotherapeutic supplement for breast cancer. While on one hand epidemiological studies suggest inverse correlation between green tea consumption and breast cancer risk, investigations using cell culture and animal models of breast carcinogenesis on the other hand have demonstrated antiproliferative, antitumor, anti-invasive and anti-metastatic properties of EGCG. Mechanism of how EGCG affects cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and cell cycle by affecting the function of a wide range of molecular targets have also been studied. However, the question as to how EGCG impacts on estrogen responsive genes has not been addressed. This issue is of relevance to our notion of EGCG as a potential chemopreventive or chemotherapeutic agent against breast cancer, which is estrogen dependent in majority of the newly diagnosed cases. Here, using the estrogen receptor α (ERα) positive MCF-7 breast cancer cells as a model, we have examined the effect of EGCG on the estrogen regulated genes. MCF7 cells were treated with vehicle (Ethanol) or EGCG in the presence or absence of estrogen for 24hrs. Total RNA was extracted; Cy3 labeled cRNA was hybridized to Genotypic Technology designed Custom Human Whole Genome 8x60k Microarray (Agilent-027114). Median signal intensities were used for the analysis. After background subtraction (normexp) and normalization (quantile) differentially expressed genes were identified using linear models.

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.

Project description:We report the ER alpha regulatory network of Tamoxifen resistance MCF7 cell line using the Chromatin immunoprecipitated high-throughput sequencing technology (ChIP-seq). By Integrating the gene expression data (previously reported) with the ChIP-seq data, we generated ER alpha regulatory network and pathways. For ER alpha regulatory network, hub TFs with enriched motifs were identified from ER alpha peak together with PolII peaks. We then scan the position weight matrix (PWM) of ER alpha peak region of certain gene to find out the regulatory relationship between hub TF and normal TF. For regulatory pathway, genes were grouped base on their expression value at 4 different time point. Then the hub TF that plays important role in each time point of each group was identified. This study provides a framework for the application of ChIP-seq and gene expression data for the construction of ER alpha regulatory network. 4 different ChIP-seq dataset in Tamoxifen resistance MCF7 cell line

Project description:Estrogen receptor-mediated proliferation of breast cancer cells is facilitated through expression of multiple primary target genes, products of which induce the secondary response to stimulation. To differentiate between the primary and secondary target genes of estrogen receptor signaling, we measured dynamics of protein expression induced by estradiol in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Measurement of the global proteomic effects of estradiol by SILAC resulted in identification of 104 estradiol-regulated proteins, with only 41 corresponding genes having estrogen response elements (EREs). Selected reaction monitoring assays were used to validate 32 proteins and measure the dynamics of their expression within 72 hours upon estradiol stimulation and in the presence of 4-hydroxytamoxifen, thus confirming estrogen receptor-mediated signaling. Dynamics of protein expression revealed immediate early response proteins including TFF1 and CDK1 and delayed response proteins including CDK2 and NAB2. Presence or absence of EREs in the corresponding genes indicated early or delayed expression of proteins identified by SILAC. Finally, we measured accurate dynamics of estradiol-induced protein expression in the sub-network of primary and secondary targets of estrogen receptor. Interestingly, since NAB2 protein is also a repressor of EGR3-induced transcription, siRNA-mediated silencing of NAB2 resulted in the over-expression of some EGR3-induced proteins, such as ITGA2. To conclude, quantitative proteomics revealed secondary targets of estrogen receptor signaling potentially overlooked by genome-wide profiling of EREs and provided dynamics of protein expression in the network of transcription factors with a negative feedback loop.
