A functional interplay between ZNF217 and estrogen receptor alpha exists in luminal breast cancers.


ABSTRACT: We aimed at highlighting the role of ZNF217, a Krüppel-like finger protein, in Estrogen Receptor-? (ER?)-positive (ER+) and luminal breast cancers. Here we report for the first time that ZNF217 and ER? proteins bind to each other in both breast cancer cells and breast tumour samples, via the ER? hinge domain and the ZNF217 C-terminal domain. ZNF217 enhances the recruitment of ER? to its estrogen response elements (ERE) and the ER?-dependent transcription of the GREB1 estrogen-regulated gene. The prognostic power of ZNF217 mRNA expression levels is most discriminatory in breast cancers classified with a "good prognosis", particularly the Luminal-A subclass. A new immunohistochemistry ZNF217 index, based on nuclear and cytoplasmic ZNF217 staining, also allowed the identification of intermediate/poor relapse-free survivors in the Luminal-A subgroup. ZNF217 confers tamoxifen resistance in ER+ breast cancer cells and is a predictor of relapse under endocrine therapy in patients with ER+ breast cancer. ZNF217 thus allows the re-stratification of patients with ER+ breast cancers considered as cancers with good prognosis where no other biomarkers are currently available and widely used. Here we propose a model in ER+ breast cancer where ZNF217-driven aggressiveness incorporates ZNF217 as a positive enhancer of ER? direct genomic activity and where ZNF217 possesses its highest discriminatory prognostic value.
