Project description:N-α-acetyltransferase 10 protein (Naa10p, also called ARD1), the catalytic subunit of N-acetyltransferase A, is a critical regulator of cell death and proliferation. Naa10p is also shown to regulate cancer metastasis by inhibiting cell motility, however its role in cancer metastasis is not fully understood. In this study, we found that high expression of Naa10p is positively correlated with the survival of patients with breast cancer, while negatively correlated with lymph node metastasisr. Naa10p inhibits breast cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro and decreases the xenograft growth and metastasis in nude mice. Microarray screening revealed that Naa10p down-regulates expression of several pro-invasive genes, which was validated by qRT-PCR analysis. To gain an insight into Naa10p’s inhibitory effect on cancer metastasis, we performed microarray analysis with RNA samples extracted from Naa10p-silenced MCF-7 (MCF-7SA) and control cells (MCF-7NC).

Project description:Estrogen overproduction is closely associated with the development of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Aromatase, encoded by the cytochrome P450 19 (CYP19) gene, regulates estrogen biosynthesis. This study aimed to identify active flavones that inhibit CYP19 expression and to explore the underlying mechanisms. CYP19 expression was evaluated using reverse transcription PCR, quantitative real-time PCR, and immunoblot analysis. The role of transcription factor early growth response gene 1 (EGR-1) in CYP19 expression was assessed using the short-hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated knockdown of EGR-1 expression in estrogen receptor-positive MCF-7 breast cancer cells. We screened 39 flavonoids containing 26 flavones and 13 flavanones using the EGR1 promoter reporter activity assay and observed that chrysoeriol exerted the highest inhibitory activity on tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF?)-induced EGR-1 expression. We further characterized and demonstrated that chrysoeriol inhibits TNF?-induced CYP19 expression through inhibition of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2)-mediated EGR-1 expression. Chrysoeriol may be beneficial as a dietary supplement for the prevention of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, or as a chemotherapeutic adjuvant in the treatment of this condition.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to identify potential therapeutic target genes for breast cancer (BC) by the investigation of gene expression changes after ionizing radiation (IR) in BC cells. Gene expression profile GSE21748, including BC cell line MCF-7 samples at different time points after IR treatment, were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in different time points following IR compared with cell samples before IR, respectively. Gene ontology functions and The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways of the overlapping DEGs were enriched using DAVID. Transcription factor (TFs)-encoding genes were identified from the overlapping DEGs, followed by construction of transcriptional regulatory network and co-expression network.ResultsA total of 864 overlapping DEGs were identified, which were significantly enriched in regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis, and cell cycle process. We found that FOXD1, STAT6, XBP1, STAT2, LMO2, TFAP4, STAT3, STAT1 were hub nodes in the transcriptional regulatory network of the overlapping DEGs. The co-expression network of target genes regulated by STAT3, STAT1, STAT6 and STAT2 included some key genes such as BCL2L1.ConclusionSTAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT6, XBP1, BCL2L1, CYB5D2, ESCO2, and PARP2 were significantly affected by IR and they may be used as therapeutic gene targets in the treatment of BC.

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:Cadmium is a metalloestrogen known to activate the estrogen receptor and promote breast cancer cell growth. Previous studies have implicated cadmium in the development of more malignant tumors; however the molecular mechanisms behind this cadmium-induced malignancy remain elusive. Using clonal cell lines derived by exposing breast cancer cells to cadmium for over 6 month (MCF7-Cd4, -Cd6, -Cd7, -Cd8 and -Cd12), this study aims to identify gene expression signatures associated with chronic cadmium exposure. Our results demonstrate that prolonged exposure does not merely result in the deregulation of genes but actually leads to a distinctive expression profile. The genes deregulated in cadmium-exposed cells are involved in multiple biological processes (i.e cell growth, apoptosis, etc.) and molecular functions (i.e. cadmium/metal ion binding, transcription factor activity, etc). Hierarchical clustering demonstrates that the five clonal cadmium cell lines share a common gene expression signature of breast cancer associated genes, clearly differentiating control from cadmium exposed cells. The results presented in this study offer insights into the cellular and molecular impacts of cadmium on breast cancer carcinogenesis and emphasize the importance of studying chronic cadmium exposure as one possible mechanism of promoting breast cancer progression. To understand the effects of chronic cadmium exposure on gene expression in breast cancer, two control MCF7 parental cell lines and five different clonal cadmium-adapted cell lines (MCF7-Cd4, -Cd6, -Cd7, -Cd8, and -Cd12) - previously derived from cells chronically exposed to cadmium - were used for microarray analysis.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) is essential for cap-dependent initiation of translation. Cell proliferation is associated with increased activity of eIF4E and elevated expression of eIF4E leads to tumorigenic transformation. Many tumors express very high levels of eIF4E and this may be a critical factor in progression of the disease. In contrast, overexpression of 4EBP, an inhibitor of eIF4E, leads to cell cycle arrest and phenotypic reversion of some transformed cells. RESULTS: A constitutively active form of 4EBP-1 was inducibly expressed in the human breast cancer cell line MCF7. Induction of constitutively active 4EBP-1 led to cell cycle arrest. This was not associated with a general inhibition of protein synthesis but rather with changes in specific cell cycle regulatory proteins. Cyclin D1 was downregulated while levels of the CDK inhibitor p27Kip1 were increased. The levels of cyclin E and CDK2 were unaffected but the activity of CDK2 was significantly reduced due to increased association with p27Kip1. The increase in p27Kip1 did not reflect changes in p27Kip1 mRNA or degradation rates. Rather, it was associated with enhanced synthesis of the protein, even though 4EBP-1 is expected to inhibit translation. This could be explained, at least in part, by the ability of the p27Kip1 5'-UTR to mediate cap-independent translation, which was also enhanced by expression of constitutively active 4EBP-1. CONCLUSIONS: Expression of active 4EBP-1 in MCF7 leads to cell cycle arrest which is associated with downregulation of cyclin D1 and upregulation of p27Kip1. Upregulation of p27Kip1reflects increased synthesis which corresponds to enhanced cap-independent translation through the 5'-UTR of the p27Kip1 mRNA.

Project description:Cancer is considered one of the most burdensome diseases affecting lives and, hence, the economy. Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. Patients with breast cancer are divided into two groups: one group responds to the chemotherapy, and the other group resists the chemotherapy. Unfortunately, the group which resists the chemotherapy is still suffering the pain associated with the severe side effects of the chemotherapy. Therefore, there is a critical need for a method to differentiate between both groups before the administration of the chemotherapy. Exosomes, the recently discovered nano-vesicles, are often used as cancer diagnostic biomarkers as their unique composition allows them to represent their parental cells, which makes them promising indicators for tumor prognosis. Exosomes contain proteins, lipids, and RNA that exist in most body fluids and are expelled by multiple cell types, including cancer cells. Furthermore, exosomal RNA has been significantly used as a promising biomarker for tumor prognosis. Herein, we have developed an electrochemical system that could successfully differentiate between MCF7 and MCF7/ADR depending on the exosomal RNA. The high sensitivity of the proposed electrochemical assay opens the door for further investigation that will address the other type of cancer cells.
