Gene expression profiles of MCF7 with with the following NR ligands: estradiol/E2 (ER? agonist), AM580 (RARA agonist), CD437 (RARG agonist), ATRA (RARA/RARG agonist), GW0742 (PPARD agonist), R5020 (PGR agonist), and dexamethasone (GR/NR3C1 agonist)

ABSTRACT: Altered gene expression patterns in human diseases reflect perturbations in the transcriptional networks that regulate cellular state. In breast cancer, Nuclear Receptors (NRs) play a prominent role in governing gene expression. NRs have prognostic utility and are therapeutically important targets. In order to understand the function of nuclear receptors in breast cancer, we treated MCF7 cells with 6 nuclear receptor agonist, and performed expression arrrays with three biological replicates each. MCF-7 cells were cultured for 48 hours in medium with 10% charcoal-stripped FBS, and then were treated with 6 diffferent NR ligand (E2, AM580, CD437, ATRA, R5020, DEX) separately for 24h before collection and processing for microarrays. Three biological replicates were collected and processed for both control and treatment. with the 100nM GW0742 (PPARD specific ligand) and 100nM ATRA (RARs ligand), then collected after 24h for microarray processing. Controls were non-treated MCF7 cells. Both treatments and controls have three biological replicates.

Project description:BackgroundGTF2I-RARA is a newly identified RARA fusion gene in variant acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients with t(7;17)(q11;q21). Clinical manifestation in the patient showed that it is a sort of ATRA-insensitive oncogene and is different from the classic PML-RARA in terms of therapeutic reaction.MethodsTo reveal the functional characteristics and regulating mechanism of the GTF2I-RARA fusion gene, we established a GTF2I-RARA-transfected HL60 cell model and examined its sensitivity to ATRA by western blot, MTT assay, flow cytometry, and Wright-Giemsa staining. Coimmunoprecipitation and confocal microscopy were used to examine the binding of GTF2I-RARA and transcriptional corepressors. We also performed ChIP-seq to search for potential target genes. Immunoprecipitation, ubiquitination assay, western blot, luciferase assay, and real-time PCR were used to analyze the effects of RNF8 on RARA. Flow cytometry and Wright-Giemsa staining were used to study the effect of MG132 and ATRA on the GTF2I-RARA-transfected HL60 cell model.ResultWe confirmed resistance of GTF2I-RARA to ATRA. Compared with PML-RARA, GTF2I-RARA has a higher affinity to HDAC3 under ATRA treatment. Using the ChIP-sequencing approach, we identified 221 GTF2I-RARA binding sites in model cells and found that the RING finger protein 8 (RNF8) is a target gene of GTF2I-RARA. RNF8 participates in disease progression and therapy resistance in APL with the GTF2I-RARA transcript. Elevated RNF8 expression promotes the interaction between RARA and RNF8 and induces RARA Lys-48 linkage ubiquitylation and degradation, resulting in attenuated transcriptional activation of RARA.ConclusionOur results suggest that RNF8 is a key GTF2I-RARA downstream event. Using the combination of MG132 and ATRA to treat GTF2I-RARA-HL60 cells, a synergistic effect leading to GTF2I-RARA-HL60 cell differentiation was confirmed. Taken together, the targeting of RNF8 may be an alternative choice for treatment in variant APL with GTF2I-RARA fusion.
