Estrogen/estrogen receptor promotes the proliferation of endometrial carcinoma cells by enhancing hMOF expression.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:This study aims to analyse the expression of human MOF in endometrial carcinoma cells and its relationship with estrogen and estrogen receptor and to investigate the effect of estrogen-human MOF on the malignant biological behaviours of endometrial carcinoma cells. METHODS:The expression of human MOF was detected in different endometrial tissues by immunohistochemistry. The effects of human MOF, human MOF combined with estrogen stimulation and estrogen plus anti-human MOF antibody blocking on the proliferation of endometrial carcinoma cells were evaluated by western blotting, real-time polymerase chain reaction, cell proliferation assay and cell cycle distribution. Bioinformatics was used to identify the correlations of human MOF and estrogen and involved pathways. RESULTS:The expression levels of human MOF in endometrial carcinoma tissues were significantly higher than that in atypical hyperplasia and normal endometrial tissues. High expression of human MOF was associated with late-stage cancer, lymph node metastasis and short survival time, and it was also an independent prognostic risk factor for endometrial carcinoma. After human MOF knockdown, the proliferation, migration and invasive capacity of Ishikawa cells decreased and cell apoptosis increased. After stimulation with estrogen, the PI3K/Akt and Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK signalling pathways were activated, and the expression of the human MOF protein was increased. human MOF (KAT8) expression showed a positive correlation with ESR1 expression, and KAT8-associated genes were enriched in the cell cycle pathways and splicing pathways. CONCLUSION:Human MOF was highly expressed in endometrial carcinoma and associated with proliferation. Estrogen/estrogen receptor enhanced human MOF expression; promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of Ishikawa cells; and inhibited cell apoptosis by activating the PI3K/Akt and Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK signalling pathways.

Project description:BackgroundEstrogen receptor β (ERβ) has been repeatedly suggested to play important roles in hormone-dependent cancer like in tumors of the breast, ovary or prostate. In this study, we intended to further elucidate its role in endometrial cancer.MethodsFor this purpose, we knocked down ERβ expression in two endometrial cancer cell lines, the ERα-negative/ERβ-positive line HEC-1A and the ERα/β-positive cell line RL95/2, by means of siRNA transfection. Cell proliferation after transfection was assessed using the fluorescent CTB Assay (Promega). In order to elucidate possible molecular mechanisms which might underlie the effect on proliferation, we performed transcriptome analyses by means of human Affymetrix Human Gene Chip 2.0. Additionally, we treated the employed cell lines with different ERβ modulators to examine their effect on proliferation.ResultssiRNA-mediated knockdown of ERβ significantly increased proliferation of both endometrial cancer cell lines. In HEC-1A cells, proliferation was significantly increased 4, 5 and 6 days after transfection, with a maximum of about 1.7-fold (p < 0.05) on day 6. Endometrial RL95/2 cells with an ERβ knockdown exhibited a clearly enhanced proliferation on day 3 and days 4 to 8, when even 2.4-fold higher numbers of viable cells were detected (p < 0.01). Transcriptome analysis revealed that this was accompanied by increased expression of several genes being known to be upregulated in cancer, including proliferation-associated genes and oncogenes, and by repression of genes associated with differentiation, apoptosis or growth inhibition. Corroborating the observed knockdown effects, treatment with the ERβ antagonists PHTTP and (R, R) THC was also able to induce proliferation of both cell lines.ConclusionsOur data clearly support the putative role of ERβ as tumor suppressor in endometrium as previously suggested in studies on other tissues and encourage further studies to find out to what extent this molecule might be a potential therapy target in this cancer entity.
