MOF forms a positive feedback regulation with ERα to suppress endometrial cancer progression

ABSTRACT: MOF is a histone acetyltransferase specific for H4K16 acetylation. It has been demonstrated that MOF is lower expressed in series of human cancers. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the detailed biological function of MOF in endometrial carcinomas (ECa) has not been fully defined. The estrogen receptor α (ERα) action plays a crucial role in endometrial cancer tumorigenesis and progression. Here, our data have demonstrated that estrogen/ERα induces MOF gene transcription, meanwhile MOF stabilizes ERα via acetylating ERα in ECa, indicating that MOF forms a positive feedback loop with ERα. In the whole genome-wide level, RNA microarray analyses have shown that MOF modulates a subset of endogenous ERα-regulated genes, such as apoptosis associated factor DRAM1 and oncogene FXYD3. Knockdown of MOF leads to a G2/M cell cycle arrest and promotes ECa cell growth and proliferation. MOF depletion promotes xenograft tumor growth in mice. In addition, our results have demonstrated that MOF expression is lower in ECa than that in benign endometrial tissues. Importantly, the expression of MOF is positively correlated with that of ERα in clinical samples. Cumulatively, our results suggest a positive feedback regulation involving MOF and ERα is essential for suppression of endometrial cancer.

Tamoxifen-associated endometrial tumors expose differential enhancer activity for Estrogen Receptor alpha [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Tamoxifen, a small molecule inhibitor that binds the Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα), blocks breast cancer progression while increasing the risk for endometrial cancer. In this study, we assessed genome-wide ERα-chromatin interactions in surgical specimens of endometrial tumors from patients who were previously treated for breast cancer with tamoxifen, and endometrial tumors from patients who were treated without tamoxifen. We compared ERα and signal at differential ERα sites in endometrial tumors of nine patients who received tamoxifen with endometrial tumors with six patients who never used tamoxifen. In addition, we performed H3K27ac (a marker for activity) ChIPs on the above mentioned endometrial tumors, and assed this signal at differential ERα sites. Compared to endometrial tumors of non-users, tamoxifen-associated endometrial tumors exposed higher H3K27ac intensities at ERα sites that are enriched in tamoxifen-associated endometrial tumors. Four tamoxifen-associated endometrial tumors that we used in our analysis have been previously published as Tumor A, B, D, and E in GSE81213.

Bromodomain protein BRD4 is required for estrogen receptor-dependent transcription and enhancer activation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The estrogen receptor-α (ERα) is a transcription factor which plays a critical role in controlling cell proliferation and tumorigenesis by recruiting various cofactors to estrogen response elements (EREs) to induce or repress gene transcription. A deeper understanding of these transcriptional mechanisms may uncover novel therapeutic targets for ERα-dependent cancers. Here we show for the first time that BRD4 regulates ERα−induced gene expression by affecting elongation-associated phosphorylation of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII P-Ser2) and histone H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub1). Consistently, BRD4 activity is required for estrogen-induced proliferation of ER+ breast and endometrial cancer cells and uterine growth in mice. Genome-wide occupancy studies revealed an enrichment of BRD4 on transcriptional start sites as well as EREs enriched for H3K27ac and demonstrate a requirement for BRD4 for H2B monoubiquitination in the transcribed region of estrogen-responsive genes. Importantly, we further demonstrate that BRD4 occupancy correlates with active mRNA transcription and is required for the production of ERα-dependent enhancer RNAs (eRNAs). These results uncover BRD4 as a central regulator of ERα function and potential therapeutic target. ChIP-sequencing of BRD4, ERα and H2Bub1 in MCF7 cells treated with +/- estrogen treatment and or +/- JQ1 treatment in triplicates.

A super enhancer-controlled BRD4/ERα-RET-ERα positive feedback loop promotes ERα-positive breast cancer [GRO-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.

G9a-Mediated Methylation of ERα Links the PHF20/MOF Histone Acetyltransferase Complex to Hormonal Gene Expression

Project description:The euchromatin histone methyltransferase 2 (EHMT2, aka G9a) methylates histone H3K9 to repress gene expression, but it also acts as a coactivator for some nuclear receptors. The molecular mechanisms underlying this activation remain elusive. Here we show that G9a functions as a bona fide coactivator of the endogenous estrogen receptor α (ERα) in breast cancer cells in a histone methylation-independent manner. G9a dimethylates ERα protein at lysine 235 both in vitro and in cells. Dimethylation of ERαK235 (ERαK235me2) is recognized by the Tudor domain of PHF20, which in turn recruits the MOF histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex to ERα target gene promoters to deposit histone H4K16 acetylation promoting active transcription. Together, our in vitro and in vivo data establish the molecular mechanism by which G9a functions as an ERα coactivator. Along with the PHF20/MOF complex, G9a links the crosstalk between ERα methylation and histone acetylation governing the epigenetic regulation of hormonal gene expression.

Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1) acquires transcriptional competence under 17b-estradiol in ERa-positive breast cancer cells [RNA-seq]

Project description:Heat Shock Transcription Factor 1 (HSF1) is a well-known regulator of gene expression during acute environmental stress that enables the cells to survive. Its high level in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer patients correlated with a worse prognosis. Here, we demonstrated that 17β-estradiol (E2) as well as bisphenol A (BPA) and propyl pyrazole triol (PPT, ERα agonist) led to HSF1 phosphorylation on S326 in ERα positive mammary breast cancer cells, but not in ERα-negative ones. We showed that ERK1/2 signaling was involved in this process and down-regulation of ERα expression abrogated it. E2activated HSF1 was transcriptionally potent. Chip-Seq and RNA-Seq analyses revealed that it could modulate the expression of several genes known to be essential for breast cancer cells growth and/or ERα action, i.e. HSPB8, LHX4, PRKCE, WWC1, and GREB1. Our findings indicate that a positive feedback loop between ERα and HSF1 signaling may exist which support the growth of estrogen-dependent tumors.
