Distinct roles of BET Family Members in ERα Enhancer Function and Gene Regulation in Breast Cancer Cells [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Estrogen (E2)-dependent gene regulation mediated by estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) plays a mitogenic role in ER-positive breast cancer cells. Although clinical applications of selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), which directly interact with ERα to alter ERα activity, have been effective as a first line of treatment for breast cancer patients, a large subset of the patients will develop resistance after prolonged use of SERMs. Thus, there is a great need to develop alternative therapeutic strategies for SERM-resistant breast cancers. Here, we describe the potential use of the bromodomain family member protein (BRD) selective bromodomain inhibitor, JQ1, to alter E2-dependent gene expression program and inhibit E2-dependent growth of breast cancer cells. We show that each family member has partially redundant roles as ERα coregulators that are required for ERα-mediated gene transcription. Furthermore, we demonstrate the function of BRD3 as a molecular sensor of total BRD activity by the compensatory control of its protein levels. In addition, BRD3 colocalizes with a subset of ERα binding sites (ERBSs) that are enriched for active enhancer features and associated with highly E2-induced genes. Collectively, we illustrate a critical role of the BET family members in ERα dependent gene expression.

Estradiol-regulated Dependence Receptor UNC5A Restricts Estradiol Signaling and Luminal to Basal Transition and Metastasis of Breast Cancer

Project description:Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-positive breast cancers, while initially being responsive, eventually develop resistance to ERα targeted therapies through ERα-dependent and ERα-independent mechanisms. Through functional genomic studies we report heretofore unrecognized role for the axon guidance dependence receptor UNC5A in fine-tuning estradiol (E2) and anti-estrogen response. Knockdown of the estradiol-inducible UNC5A caused unrestricted ERα signaling as evident from deregulated E2-regulated gene expression and E2-independent tumorigenesis accompanied with multi-organ metastatic spread in xenograft models. UNC5A-knockdown cells displayed luminal/basal hybrid phenotype characterized by elevated expression of basal/stem cell enriched ∆Np63 and ITGA6 (CD49f), anti-apoptotic BCL2, and the lymphangiogenic factor NTN4 but lower expression of luminal/alveolar differentiation-associated factor ELF5 while maintaining functional ERα. Thus, UNC5A is a new regulator of ERα with a tumor/metastasis suppressive activity. Significance: ERα signaling network plays a significant role in ~70% of breast cancers. While the signaling molecules that partner with ERα to augment E2-dependent signaling and promote breast cancer progression have been well studied, negative feedback proteins that attenuate ERα signaling and their contribution to breast cancer progression are yet to be identified. This study reports E2-inducible UNC5A as a critical attenuator of ERα signaling and its reduced expression in primary breast cancer is associated with poor outcome. UNC5A potentially controls ERα signaling by restricting PI3K/AKT:ERα crosstalk needed for E2-independent activity while simultaneously maintaining ERα-dependent luminal differentiation program. These findings have important implications in developing strategies to combat anti-estrogen resistance and to improve clinical utility of PI3K/AKT inhibitors.

Genome-wide mapping of ligand-dependent ERα binding sites in the ERα AF-2 mutant mouse uterus

Project description:Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) is a ligand dependent transcription regulator, which contains two transactivation functional domains, AF-1 and AF-2. These activities are regulated differently by the ligands. Specifically, the selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) regulate AF-1 rather than AF-2. It is important to know whether AF-1/AF-2 predominantly regulated genes exist in the tissues for a better understanding of the SERMs functionality. We sought out AF-1 dependent estrogenic genes by using the AF-2 mutated knock-in (KI) mouse model, AF2ERKI. AF2ER is an estrogen-insensitive AF-2 disrupted ERα mutant mouse but unique to this model, AF-1 can be activated by the estrogen-antagonists, such as fulvestrant (ICI) and 4-hydroxytamoxifen (Tam) in vitro and in vivo. The information of genome-wide ICI or Tam dependent AF-2 mutated ERα binding sites could explain the mechanism of the selective estrogenic action of SERMs through AF-1 dependent gene regulation.

Time-course effect of estradiol and ERa17p on Early Gene expression in T47D cells

Project description:ERα17p is a synthetic peptide corresponding to the sequence P295LMIKRSKKNSLALSLT311 of the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and initially synthesized to mimic its calmodulin binding site. ERα17p was subsequently found to elicit estrogenic responses in E2-deprived ERα-positive breast cancer cells, increasing proliferation and E2-dependent gene transcription. Surprisingly, in E2-supplemented media, ERα17p induced apoptosis and modified the actin network, influencing thereby cell motility. Here, we report that ERα17p induces a massive early (3h) transcriptional activity in breast cancer cell line T47D.

H4K12ac is regulated by estrogen receptor-alpha and is associated with BRD4 function and inducible transcription

Project description:Hormone-dependent gene expression requires dynamic and coordinated epigenetic changes. Estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer is particularly dependent upon extensive chromatin remodeling and changes in histone modifications for the induction of hormone-responsive gene expression. Our previous studies established an important role of bromodomain-containing protein-4 (BRD4) in promoting estrogen-regulated transcription and proliferation of ER+ breast cancer cells. Here, we investigated the association between genome-wide occupancy of histone H4 acetylation at lysine 12 (H4K12ac) and BRD4 in the context of estrogen-induced transcription. Similar to BRD4, we observed that H4K12ac occupancy increases near the transcription start sites (TSS) of estrogen-induced genes as well as at distal ERα binding sites in an estrogen-dependent manner. Interestingly, H4K12ac occupancy highly correlates with BRD4 binding and enhancer RNA production on ERα-positive enhancers. Consistent with an importance in estrogen-induced gene transcription, H4K12ac occupancy globally increased in ER-positive cells relative to ER-negative cells and these levels were further increased by estrogen treatment in an ERα-dependent manner. Together, these findings reveal a strong correlation between H4K12ac and BRD4 occupancy with estrogen-dependent gene transcription and further suggest that modulators of H4K12ac and BRD4 may serve as new therapeutic targets for hormone-dependent cancers. ChIP-seq profiles of H4K12ac in MCF7 cells treated with +/- estrogen treatment and MCF10A cells.

A super enhancer-controlled BRD4/ERα-RET-ERα positive feedback loop promotes ERα-positive breast cancer [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Dysregulated estrogen and estrogen receptor (ER)-induced gene transcription is tightly associated with estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-positive breast carcinogenesis. ERα-occupied enhancers, particularly super enhancers, have been suggested to play a vital role in such transcriptional events. However, the landscape of ERα-occupied super enhancers (ERSEs) as well as key super enhancer-associated genes remain to be fully characterized. Here, we defined the landscape of ERSEs in MCF7, a ERα-positive breast cancer cell line, and demonstrated that bromodomain protein BRD4 is a master regulator of the transcriptional activation of ERSE and cognate ERα-target genes. Furthermore, RET, a member of the tyrosine protein kinase family of proteins, was identified to be a key target gene of BRD4-regulated ERSEs, which is vital for estrogen/ ERα-induced gene transcriptional activation and malignant phenotypes through activating the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK-p90RSK-ERα phosphorylation cascade. Accordingly, combination therapy with BRD4 and RET inhibitors exhibited synergistic effects on suppressing ERα-positive breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, our data uncovered the critical role of a super enhancer-associated BRD4/ERα-RET-ERα positive feedback loop in ERα-positive breast cancer, and targeting components in this loop will provide new therapeutic avenue for treating ERα-positive breast cancer in the clinic.

Regulation of TET2 gene expression and 5mC oxidation in breast cancer cells by estrogen signaling [hMeDIP-seq]

Project description:Estrogen signaling plays important roles in diverse physiological and pathophysiological processes. However, the relationship between estrogen signaling and epigenetic regulation is not fully understood. Here, we explored the effect of estrogen signaling on the expression of Ten-Eleven Translocation (TET) family genes and DNA hydroxylmethylation in estrogen receptor alpha positive (ERα+) breast cancer cells. By analyzing the RNA-seq data, we identified TET2 as an estradiol (E2)-responsive gene in ERα+ MCF7 cells. RT-qPCR and Western blot analyses confirmed that both the mRNA and protein levels of TET2 gene were upregulated in MCF7 cells by E2 treatment. ChIP-seq and qPCR analyses showed that the enrichment of ERα and H3K27ac on the upstream regulatory regions of TET2 gene was increased in MCF7 cells upon E2 treatment. Moreover, E2 treatment also led to a significant increase in the global 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) level, while knockout of TET2 abolished such E2-induced 5hmC increase. Conversely, treatment with ICI 182780, a potent and selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), inhibited TET2 gene expression and down-regulated the 5hmC level in MCF7 cells. Taken together, our study identified an ERα/TET2/5hmC epigenetic pathway, which may participate in the estrogen-associated physiological and pathophysiological processes.
