Transcription profiling of human ER negative cells response to estradiol-ERbeta and estradiol-ERbeta ERE binding defective mutant

ABSTRACT: In addition to the estrogen responsive element (ERE)-dependent gene expression, E2-ERbeta regulates transcription through functional interactions with transfactors bound to their cognate regulatory elements on DNA, hence the ERE-independent signaling pathway. However, the relative importance of the ERE-independent pathway in E2-ERbeta signaling is unclear. Our studies in infected ER-negative cell models with an ERbeta mutant (ERbetaDBD) that functions exclusively at the ERE-independent pathway demonstrated that genomic responses assessed by microarrays from the ERE-independent pathway to E2-ERbeta are not sufficient to alter cellular growth, death or motility. These findings suggest that the ERE-dependent pathway is the canonical E2-ERbeta signaling in model cell lines. Experiment Overall Design: Cells were infected with the recombinant adenovirus bearing no cDNA (CMV) or a cDNA for ERbeta, or cDNA for ERbeta mutant defective in binding to ERE (ERbDBD). for 48 hours. Infected cells were then treated with 1 nM Estradiol 17beta for 6h. All experiments were repeated six independent times conducted at at six different days
