Project description:MCF-7aro cells were used to generate a cell culture model system that is resistant to 3 aromatase inhibitors (AIs), letrozole, anastrozole and exemestane. For comparison, the MCF-7aro cells were also used to generate the tamoxifen-resistant cells as well as long-term estrogen deprived, LTEDaro. Affymetrix microarray analysis was performed to determine changes in gene expression that are unique to AI-resistance. Experiment Overall Design: For control purposes, MCF-7aro cells were cultured without any hormone or inhibitor as well as a hormone-only control (T-only). Resistant cells were grown in the presence of testosterone, T+LET R (letrozole), T+ANA R (anastrozole), T+EXE R (exemestane), T+TAM R (Tamoxifen). In addition, testosterone-free resistant lines were generated, LTEDaro, ANA R and EXE R. 6 replicates were generated for the hormone-containing resistant lines and 3 replicates for the hormone-free resistant lines.

Project description:Resistance to endocrine therapy agents has presented a clinical obstacle in the treatment of hormone-dependent breast cancer. Our laboratory has initiated a study of microRNA regulation of signaling pathways that may result in breast cancer progression on aromatase inhibitors (AI). Microarray analysis of microRNA expression identified 115 significantly regulated microRNAs, of which 49 microRNAs were believed to be hormone-responsive. Within the AI-resistant cells, microRNAs were differentially expressed between the steroidal and non-steroidal AI-resistant lines. Also, a group of microRNAs were inversely expressed in the AI-resistant lines versus LTEDaro and tamoxifen-resistant. We focused our work on hsa-miR-128a which was hormone-responsive and up-regulated in the letrozole-resistant cell lines. Human miR-128a was shown to negatively target TGFBRI protein expression by binding to the 3âUTR region of the gene. Loss of TGFBRI resulted in compromised sensitivity to the growth inhibitory effects of TGFB in the letrozole-resistant lines. Inhibition of endogenous miR-128a resulted in re-sensitization of the letrozole-resistant lines to TGFB growth inhibitory effects. This data suggests that the hormone-responsive miR-128a can modulate TGFB signaling and survival of the letrozole-resistant cell lines. To our knowledge, this is the first study to address the role of microRNA regulation as well as TGFB signaling in AI-resistant breast cancer cell lines. We believe that in addition to estrogen-modulation of gene expression, hormone-regulated microRNAs may provide an additional level of post-transcriptional regulation of signaling pathways critically involved in breast cancer progression and AI-resistance. To look at microRNA expression profiles of breast cancer cell lines derived from MCF-7 cells that are resistant to endocrine therapy agents. MCF-7 cells that overexpress aromatase (MCF-7aro) were cultured long-term in the presence of endocrine therapy agents until cells acquired resistance. Three different aromatase inhibitors (letrozole, anastrozole or exemestane) were used, as well as the ER antagonist tamoxifen, or the hormone-free long-term estrogen deprived cells (LTED). Three replicates of the control cells (MCF-7aro) and all resistant cells were used for microarray experiments. Total of 23 samples were analyzed by microarray.

Project description:The overarching goal of this study was to explore the antitumor activity of Z-endoxifen, a tamoxifen metabolite, with first-line endocrine therapies tamoxifen and letrozole in the letrozole-sensitive MCF7 aromatase expressing model (MCF7AC1), and with second-line endocrine therapies including tamoxifen, fulvestrant, exemestane, and exemestane plus everolimus, in letrozole-resistant MCF7 model (MCF7LR) in vivo. We used microarray to identify genes that are commonly and differently reguated by Z-endoxifen and tamoxifen treatments in the letrozole-resistant MCF7LR tumors.

Project description:Anti-estrogens and aromatase inhibitors are important drugs in the treatment of estrogen-dependent breast cancer. In order to investigate the effects of these drugs on gene expression in breast cancer cells, we treated estrogen receptor-positive MCF-7 cells, stably transfected with the aromatase gene (known as MCF-7aro cells), with testosterone, 17β-estradiol, two aromatase inhibitors (letrozole and anastrozole), and an anti-estrogen (tamoxifen). Microarray analyses using Affymetrix Human Genome U133A GeneChips were carried out using total RNA isolated from the control and treated cells. When comparing the effect of each inhibitor on gene expression we observe that letrozole and anastrozole are more similar in terms of the genes they affect, compared to treatment with tamoxifen. The results of this study provide us with a better understanding of the actions of both aromatase inhibitors and anti-estrogens at the molecular level. We believe that the results of this study serve as the first step in identifying unique expression patterns following drug treatment, and that this will ultimately be useful in customizing patient treatment strategies for estrogen-dependent breast cancer. The data presented here have been processed using the R-Project Bioconductor statistical tools package using the affy library. The following were applied: RMA background correction, pmonly probe-level correction, quantile normalization, avgdiff summary method. Raw data is provided in the form of .CEL files.

Project description:Understanding the complex molecular mechanisms underlying resistance to endocrine therapy is a major challenge in the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers. We have previously demonstrated that glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) signaling via the receptor tyrosine kinase RET promotes estrogen independent activation of ER. Here we have addressed the relevance of GDNF-RET signaling in response to aromatase inhibitor treatment and explored the efficacy of using RET inhibitors in breast cancer models of aromatase inhibitor response and resistance. A GDNF-response gene set, identified from gene expression profiling, was demonstrated to be an independent prognostic marker of poor patient outcome and, importantly, to be predictive of poor response to aromatase inhibitor treatment and development of resistance. The relevance of these findings was validated first by demonstrating an association of RET protein expression in an independent cohort of aromatase inhibitor resistant patient samples. Second, in in vitro models, GDNF-mediated RET signaling was demonstrated to enhance the survival of aromatase inhibitor resistant cells and to increase resistance in aromatase inhibitor sensitive cells. These effects could be reversed by targeting GDNF/RET signaling with the RET selective inhibitor NVP-BBT594 thus identifying GDNF-RET signaling as a potential therapeutic target, particularly in breast cancers resistant to aromatase inhibitors.<br>MCF7 cells were E2-deprived by culturing in phenol red-free RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% DCC for 3 days and then serum-starved overnight in the presence or absence of fulvestrant (ICI182,780) (100 nM). The following day, cells were treated with GDNF (20 ng/ml) for 0, 4, 8, 24 and 48 hours in the presence or absence of fulvestrant (ICI182,780) (100 nM).

Project description:Obesity represents a risk factor for breast cancer development and therapy resistance, but the molecular players underling these links are unclear. Here, we identify a role for the obesity-cytokine leptin in sustaining aromatase inhibitor (AI) resistant growth and progression in breast cancer. Using as a cellular model MCF-7 breast cancer cells surviving long-term to the AI treatment Anastrozole (AnaR) and Ana-sensitive counterparts, we found that AnaR cells expressed higher levels of leptin and its receptors (ObR) along with a constitutive activation of downstream effectors. Accordingly, leptin signaling inhibition reduced only AnaR cell growth and motility, highlighting the existence of an autocrine loop in mechanisms governing drug-resistant phenotype. In agreement with ObR overexpression, increasing doses of leptin were able to stimulate at a greater extent growth and migration in AnaR than sensitive cells. Moreover, leptin contributed to an enhanced crosstalk between AnaR cells and macrophages within tumor microenvironment. Indeed, AnaR through leptin secretion modulated macrophage profiles and increased macrophage motility through CXCR4 signaling, as evidenced by RNA-sequencing, realtime-PCR and immunoblotting. Reciprocally, activated macrophages increased AnaR cell growth and motility in coculture systems.
